Project Zomboid Map Colors (2024)

FAQs

Is it possible to clear the map in Project Zomboid? ›

If you want to clear the entire map then that means you have to go all the way deep into the woods and hunt for the zeds. If it's just the bigger settlements, I tried and still is. Cleared off Rosewood, Dixie, Fallas Lake, March Ridge, and Muldraugh in a single save file.

West Point is the hardest starting map in the game, and it offers more precious loot and high-tier equipment to find. Besides that, the town was developed along the vast river, allowing instant access to natural water, which can be a godsend.

Black - are industrial venues, like storage lots, construction sites or factories. Blue are social infrastructure, like schools, police stations etc. Yellow are commercial. Shops, and stuff.

Various colours are used for the same purpose. For example, generally, blue is used for showing water bodies, brown for mountains, yellow for plateaus and green is used for plains.

The general ends his message assuring the survivors they haven't been forgotten and promising rescue and support. Subsequently, most radio and television stations cease operation by July 18, marking the end of the world.

By default, zombies respawn in Project Zomboid after 72 hours of leaving a particular cell (which is roughly 300x300 tiles). Additionally, the number of undead respawning in a cell is about 1% of the undead's total population.

I personally like Muldraugh as a beginner starting point, because there isn't as many zombies as West Point, but it still has a lot of good loot locations. I feel like I gimp myself if I start in Rosewood or Muldraugh.

Rosewood is probably the easiest starting location in the game as its small size and rural location guarantee a low zombie population. There are a few isolated farmhouses outside the town that make good starting bases, and a construction site in the south-west that's a great spot to find building supplies.

If the player is wearing dirty or bloody clothing over an open wound, the chance of infection will increase. However, using soap and water, the sweater can be cleaned. Each piece of clothing has durability, losing a little upon each hit.

What does the Q button do in Project Zomboid? ›

Q (shout) and V (hide UI) are the first things new players should rebind to some other key away from the main keys.

Every map is different, but most of the time maps created for navigation will use similar colors to describe or mark specific things. For example, reading a topographic map is quite different from a relief map – but including green on either of them usually depicts vegetation like a forest.

Blue: lakes, rivers, streams, oceans, reservoirs, highways, and local borders. Red: major highways, roads, urban areas, airports, special-interest sites, military sites, place names, buildings, and borders. Yellow: built-up or urban areas. Green: parks, golf courses, reservations, forest, orchards, and highways.

is it possible to clear a town of zombies permanently? Yes, all you have to do is go into sandbox settings and turn off the zombie respawn. Failing using custom sandbox settings, as suggested by Murphy... I guess you could build a ♥♥♥♥-ton of walls placed so that no free space is too large?
