Systems
Project DayZ is built to feel like a harsher world with smart, believable threats — inspired by the tension of Project Zomboid,
but designed around what a modded DayZ server should be: hardcore, immersive, and grounded with common-sense features.
Economy: Super scarce (but balanced)
Loot is tuned to be very scarce, but fair. You’re meant to make decisions and build stability — not sprint through a shopping list.
Long lives come from planning, discipline, and knowing when to disengage.
No Traders • No Safe Zones
Everything you own is earned. No buying gear. No protected bubbles. If you survive, it’s because you played it smart.
Persistent, Player-Like AI
AI act like real survivors: they roam the map and loot like a player would.
Their location and gear persist — encounters have continuity and consequences.
Advanced Medicine (Terje)
Injuries stack. Every hit matters. Even infected can inflict conditions like bruises — sloppy fights become slow deaths.
Skills Matter
In a harsh economy, skills aren’t optional — they’re survival. Progression makes hunting and long-term living dramatically more rewarding.
Hardcore, Common-Sense Design
The goal is a world that feels brutal, believable, and consistent — hardcore elements with features that just make sense.
