Quick facts that save time
- Mods load top to bottom: when two change the same file, the one lower in the list wins.
- Build 42 reads translations as JSON; Build 41 mods often need a Build 42 version (the mod index says which).
- The game's log is
Zomboid/console.txt. The app reads it for you and turns each error into a card. - A mod that works alone can still break in multiplayer: the app checks the whole list for it.
