KNOX COMMAND
Knox County, KY 4,065 CELLS · 47 FLOORS

Run your county.

Knox Command is a free, open-source console for Project Zomboid dedicated servers — with a true isometric live map rendered entirely from your server's own files.

Sector 01 · The map 10836 × 9660 · MULDRAUGH

The map is yours.

Rendered server-side from your own install — the map.projectzomboid.com look, self-hosted. No uploads, no external map service. Modded and custom maps just appear.

Sector 02 · X-ray 12060 × 6790 · WEST POINT

See inside.

The game's cutaway, on the map. Hover a building and the walls facing you open up — room by room, exactly like the camera in-game.

Sector 03 · Elevation LOUISVILLE · FLOOR 29 OF 29

Every floor counts.

Twenty-nine storeys up Louisville's tallest tower, seventeen levels down a mine shaft — floor by floor, interiors included.

Sector 04 · Live 10763 × 10481 · THE YARD

It's alive.

Every survivor and every vehicle in the save — true heading, the exact paint colour stored in the world, liveries and burnt wrecks included. Click a survivor to manage them.

SECTOR 05 · CONSOLE

Operator grade.

Everything a dedicated server actually needs, in one place — 500+ validated settings, safe mod updates with automatic rollback, verified backups, deep health, access control.

Settings editor

500+ settings, schema-validated

Server INI and sandbox in one searchable editor. Every change checked before it lands, with git history and one-click rollback.

Mods

Safe updates, automatic rollback

Backup → update → boot-verify → rollback if the server doesn't come back healthy. Auto-update on mod releases or nightly.

Health monitoring
Health

Deep health + crash watchdog

Incident log, performance history, Discord alerts, and a watchdog that heals the server before anyone notices.

Verified backups
Backups

Backups that are actually verified

Every archive is re-opened and checked after it's written. Scheduled, rotated, restored in one click.

SECTOR 06 · THE SAFETY NET

It fixes itself at 4 a.m.

A mod update breaks the boot at 04:11. The watchdog notices, rolls back to the verified backup, brings the server up, and posts what happened to Discord. You read about it over coffee.
