Spawn points define the locations where players appear when they first join a Project Zomboid server. Administrators can easily modify these points, tailoring the gameplay to the specific needs of their player community. For example, a spawn point can be set in a safe location, providing initial safety for players at the start of the game. Changing the coordinates of a spawn point requires editing various configuration files. In this guide, we will explain step-by-step how to change the spawn point location and how to set multiple spawn points for players.
