QUESTPAUSE SERVER · FOUNDING PILOT
Keep your modded Project Zomboid server healthy through updates.
Workshop updates should not leave you guessing whether your server restarted correctly. QUESTPAUSE Server detects Workshop changes, coordinates player warnings and maintenance, safely restarts the server, and verifies that it actually came back healthy before considering the maintenance complete.

The problem
Running a modded server shouldn't mean constantly watching for the next problem.
These are the recurring costs that show up around Workshop changes. Not every server hits every one, but most modded communities recognise the pattern.
01
Workshop changes
A mod updates and suddenly the server and players are no longer aligned.
02
Maintenance overhead
Admins spend time checking mods, restarting servers and troubleshooting failures manually.
03
Player disruption
When something breaks, players often discover it before the admin does.
04
Recovery uncertainty
Finding the change that caused a problem and returning to a known-good state can become a manual investigation.
Product direction
What we're building
QUESTPAUSE Server is being designed as an operations layer between your modded server, Workshop changes and your community.
Nothing below is available yet. These are the capabilities we are validating with real server owners before committing to the build order.
Planned 01
Workshop change awareness
Detect relevant mod changes and surface what changed before maintenance becomes guesswork.
Planned 02
Controlled maintenance
Help coordinate update windows, server saves, restarts and player communication.
Planned 03
Server health checks
Verify that the server returns to a healthy state after maintenance.
Planned 04
Backup and recovery workflow
Make it easier to protect a known-good state before risky changes and recover when necessary.
Planned 05
Discord notifications
Keep administrators and communities informed about maintenance and important server events.
Planned 06
Operational history
Maintain a useful record of updates, maintenance and incidents so admins can understand what happened.
Where it fits
Not another hosting control panel.
QUESTPAUSE is not trying to replace your hosting provider. The product direction is focused on the operational layer around modded survival servers.
Workshop changes
Risk awareness
Maintenance
Validation
Recovery
Community communication
Your host keeps running the machine. The goal here is the layer above it: knowing what changed, planning the maintenance, and getting back to a healthy server with less manual investigation.
Who it is for
Built for server operators.
The earliest beta is aimed at administrators already dealing with modded Project Zomboid servers. Support for other setups is not promised yet.
Community servers
For admins maintaining persistent multiplayer communities.
Self-hosted servers
For operators running their own Windows/Linux dedicated environments.
Small server networks
For admins managing more than one world or server instance.
