Project Zomboid | How to Configure Playstyle of your Server

Project Zomboid has multiple default playstyles available, each playstyle affecting the amount of loot found in houses, the strength and amount of zombies spawned, and much more. You can change your preset playstyle or create your own by following the steps below.

You have to use an admin account to do the step. Here's how How to be an Admin

Once you're in-game. Open the admin panel at the left side (color red)

Click Sandbox Options

It will open a tab and on the presets tab. You can choose the playstyle

Here are difference between playstyles

Preset	Initial Infection	One Week Later	Survival	Six Months Later
Resources	Abundant	Common	Rare	Rare
Zombie Speed	Shamblers	Fast Shamblers	Fast Shamblers	Fast Shamblers
Zombie Senses	Poor	Poor	Normal	Normal
Horde Size	Small	Moderate	Huge	Large
Utility Shut-off	6-12 Months	2 - 6 Months	0-30 Days	Instant

You can also make your own Preset as the ones above are pre-defined preset on the same tab at Sandbox Options
