Safezones are administrator-defined regions that enforce specific safety rules within a Project Zomboid server. These areas are often established manually to protect public locations such as trade hubs, community centers, or initial spawn points. Manual creation provides precise control over boundaries and allows disabling player-versus-player combat or environmental damage. These custom zones differ from player safehouses by offering broad protection for shared facilities rather than private residences.
