Chonky Chunks
Project Zomboid has issues with garbage collection (among other things) that can lead to problems with chunks becoming too large. Literally, they take up too much disk space on the server.
A "chunk" is any 10x10 square of tiles starting at coordinates X xxx0, Y xxx0 and ending X xxx9, Y xxx9.
A "chonky chunk" has become so large it is a noticeable issue, sometimes even going above a gig!
Below are the steps you can take to reduce the speed of a chunk becoming chonk, or as we call it "chunk rot", as well as the steps we have to take once a chunk gets to that stage.
How do chunks get chonky?
There are various other issues that contribute, however these ones below are the ones with the most player agency involved, i.e. the ones you can change the most by altering your behaviour.
Whenever you move items to and from your inventory into that chunk, into a container, or placed on the floor, the server stores the data of that movement. However, once the item is removed, it doesn’t delete the data afterwards.
The more times you move items to and from containers, the more this list builds up. This eventually causes performance issues. As the number of interactions per chunk increases, everyone loading that chunk will see lag, slow loading, stuttering and potentially crashes. This eventually leads to the inability to log in.
What can players do?
- Collect less junk! It’s ok to grab what you need, but many zomboid players are guilty of dragonhoarding. Do you really need that 25th hammer?
- Build a burner shed/location away from your loot storage, preferably in a chunk of its own. Using this as a staging area, you can level tailoring, turn jewelry into scrap then bullion, or adding 5000 cabbages to your biogas units, all without adding data to your major storage chunks. Later, when this chunk gets chonk, we can remove it without it affecting parts of your base that you spent hours collecting and building for.
- Design your builds like a functional house. The majority of the safehouses that are the biggest offenders of chonkies are builds that are just rooms of storage crates stacked on storage crates. Those spaces are not designed to live in, but to ONLY store.
- Reduce your crate height to 1-2 crates max. This will force you to spread your loot over a larger footprint and that in turn will spread out the interactions across more chunks, slowing this process further.
What happens when a chunk gets chonk?
We periodically run checks to determine if there are any problem chunks. This is a manual process that is only done by server admins. There is no way as a player to know if your chunk is getting chonky or not.
An admin will reach out to you or an active member of the safehouse in offense via ticket. We’ll then coordinate with you to move the things you want out of the area and give guidance on preventing the problem from happening again.
If the area has no ownership tied to it, we will reset the chunk and move on.

General Safehouse Questions
How many safehouses can I have?
Each player can be an owner of one safehouse.
You can be a member of any number of safehouses in addition to being the owner of one safehouse.
If you are the Owner of two safehouses at the same time, the Date Last Visited does not update, causing both safehouses to release regardless of your actions as a player. Do not be the Owner of more than one safehouse for any extended period of time.
What Buildings are claimable?
Any building that is "orange" on the map which stands for residential. If the building does not spawn any loot it can be considered for safehousing. Make a tickets to discuss this with the admins.
In Season 9 we introduced zones. Some zones restrict the ability to claim safehouses.
Who can go in my safehouse?
By default, only the Owner - the person who claimed the safehouse - has any access at all. Any other player will meet an invisible wall when attempting to walk inside the area and cannot interact with any containers or furniture items.
On the left side of your screen is a "Client" button. Click that and go into Safehouse. From there, you can add and remove any players you like to your safehouse permissions as well as transfer ownership.
How long do I keep a safehouse while offline?
Claims last 14 days after your last active time.
To maintain a safehouse claim, the owner must log in and set foot inside the safehouse for the game to recognize and update the timer
Can my safehouse be expanded?
Yes. Players need to build walls around their desired single safehouse, purchase a land deed, and request the safehouse to be expanded. Off the grid houses can generally be larger than in city plots, feel free to get creative. All safehouse claims will be a rectangular area.
Can I make a custom claim zone or go build a house in the woods?
Yes, you can make custom claim zones with the help of an admin. Open a ticket to discuss this before you start working to make sure you are making the most of your time.
Common Bugs
Getting stuck
Sometimes you might find yourself stuck in a place you can't escape from. Either you don't have a sledgehammer with you, or you can't sledge containers, or you are stuck on water, etc.
Make a ticket showing the location and your coordinates, then log out to preserve your character. When an admin is available to save you, they can advise you to log in on the ticket.
Alternately, if this is taking too long due to time zones, you can ask in #help if other players are willing or able to come and save you.
Losing items to bugs
We don't help with those situations, there's a rule covering that. Zomboid jank affects us all and we suffer equally.
Getting bitten on login
We have login protection, however it's not perfect and any player actions disable that protection. We don't assist in these situations, find a safer place to log out or communicate with other players to secure the login location.
Loot
How should I loot on the server?
We encourage you to drag all loot from the containers to the floor when you are looting. Our server clears all floor loot periodically.
This helps ensure the containers will continue generating loot and that players following behind you have an opportunity to collect whatever you left behind.
How often does loot respawn?
Loot respawns dynamically. The details of that dynamic process are not shared publicly and change periodically to ensure a fairer looting experience for all.
This container isn't spawning loot
The most likely answer is that another player keeps getting there before you. Seeing loot on the floor is a clear indication you were late to the party.
If you truly believe the containers you are visiting are not spawning loot, and you know they definitely did before, then you can attempt to "seed" the containers.
"Seeding" loot containers
- Highlight the container you want to seed.
- Click Transfer All on the top bar, even if there are no items in that container at all.
- Put any item you own in the container.
- Leave the item in there for a few minutes.
- Take the item back out of the container.
The container is now "seeded" and should spawn loot normally going forward.
This is not a common requirement, most containers spawn loot normally.

Role updates are done once a day and are automatic. If you have been eligible for a role for over three days without receiving it then raise a ticket to let us know.
