How do I reset the map on my Project Zomboid server?

Do you want to start from scratch? Do you want to try out a new mod or a new update? Then it’s handy if you can reset the existing world and start again.

This is done quite quickly via an FTP connection. Proceed as follows:

• First stop your server via our web interface
• Now establish an FTP connection to your server (more information about the FTP connection can be found HERE)
• Now create a new folder
  -> The name of the folder doesn’t matter, but you should choose one that catches your eye (e.g.: OLD_WORLD_)
• Now go to the path:
  -> /Saves/Multiplayer
• Move the “worlds” folder from there to the new folder you just created (e.g.: OLD_WORLD)
• Furthermore you have to delete your locally saved progress (on your PC):
  • You can usually find the folder under the following path:
    C:\User(username)\Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer
  • Here you have to delete the folder that belongs to the map you want to reset
• Now restart your server in our webinterface and your world should be reset

Have fun!
