Udderly Up To Date: Keep Your Project Zomboid Server Fresh

Server administrators, rejoice! Keeping your Project Zomboid server running smoothly and up-to-date has never been easier with the “Udderly Up To Date” mod. This powerful tool is designed to streamline the process of managing server restarts when game or mod updates are detected, ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for all your players.

Automated Restarts for a Seamless Experience

The core functionality of Udderly Up To Date lies in its ability to intelligently detect workshop updates. When a new update is found, the mod can initiate a server shutdown. This is intended to be paired with an external script or service that automatically restarts the server, transforming a simple detection system into a fully automated restart solution. Say goodbye to manual monitoring and missed update windows!

Intelligent Configuration and Player Communication

This mod offers a wealth of configurable options to tailor the restart process to your server’s needs. You can set a specific delay before the server quits, providing ample warning to players. Crucially, the mod will alert players as the scheduled restart time approaches, preventing any sudden disconnections or data loss. It also features a configurable delay between saving the game and quitting, further safeguarding your server’s progress.

Troubleshooting and Compatibility

Udderly Up To Date goes the extra mile by logging which specific mods are triggering an update, identified by their title and Workshop ID. This feature is invaluable for troubleshooting any post-update issues that might arise. Furthermore, the mod is fully compatible with popular chat modification systems, ensuring that your server’s communication channels remain unaffected.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Automatic server shutdown upon detecting workshop updates.
• Configurable restart delays with in-game player warnings.
• Detailed logging of triggering mods for easy troubleshooting.
• Adjustable workshop polling intervals to suit your needs.
• Safe save and quit delays to prevent data loss.

Whether you prefer a fully automated restart or want more control over the shutdown process, Udderly Up To Date provides the flexibility you need. Admins can even configure it to only restart when the server is empty, catering to different server management philosophies.
