Project Zomboid servers can enable starter or custom kits to spawn new characters with specific items to aid their journey. The starter kit will include chips, a water bottle, a small backpack, a baseball bat, and a hammer. This can help new players find their footing, especially on long-established servers. Alternatively, players can manually choose starting items by listing their item IDs, providing specific starting gear for new characters.
