Project ZomboidWhen players die in Project Zomboid, their respawn options depend on your server settings. You can configure whether they respawn at their death location, with other players, or at a safehouse.
When no respawn options are enabled, players must create a new character after death. Their old character becomes a zombie carrying their items.
