Every mod on the ZA-Z server
ZA-Z runs 24 Workshop mods, about 1.2 GB in all, and your game downloads every one of them automatically when you join. The server is "vanilla+": the game's own rules and look, plus vehicles, clothes, guns, food and music made in the same style, and our own lore-friendly, balanced additions on top. Nothing here overhauls the game; a KI5 Humvee or a new jacket should feel like it shipped with Build 42.
#How do I install the mods?
You do not. Joining the server subscribes you to every mod on the list and Steam downloads them before you load in. The first join after a mod change takes longer while that happens; later joins are no slower. The biggest downloads are The Real True Music (about 531 MB, real songs) and Every Texture Optimized (about 269 MB).
#How were the mods chosen?
Players voted on a shortlist on the website in September 2026, and the list went live on 26 September; the clothing set followed the next day. Five mods are ZA-Z's own, built for this server: Essentials, Ink, Gear and Clothing, the Smoker's Pack and Tracers. The rest are third-party mods from the Steam Workshop, used exactly as their authors publish them. Vehicles and most loot roll when a patch of map loads for the first time, so ground nobody had explored before the mods went live is where the new finds are.
24 Workshop items, 1.2 GB in total, downloaded automatically the first time you join.

ZA-Z's own
| Mod | What it adds | Size |
|---|---|---|
| ZA-Z's Essentials | Our own quality-of-life bundle: an ammo readout at your aim cursor, Grab amount and Put amount on stacks, one right-click for a whole selection, working elevators, an Equipped view above your inventory, a few safe seconds after you log in, helicopters as fast as a car, and a roomier Huey seat panel. | 3 MB |
| ZA-Z's Ink | Eighty-one tattoo designs, black and grey or in colour, on seven body areas (arms, legs, back, chest, neck), as many per area as you like: sleeves, back pieces, chest pieces, a dainty set, ZA-Z patches and more. Find the tattoo parlour, take a seat and try every design on before you commit, or pick ink from your page here. Free, permanent, cosmetic only. | 9 MB |
| ZA-Z's Gear and Clothing | Mythic gear: thirteen bags with 90 to 100 percent weight reduction, plus boots and gloves with real powers (less endurance drain, calmer nerves, slower hunger, faster hands). Very rare world loot: about one container in ten thousand holds a mythic, and as many again hold a piece of the kit. | 22 MB |
| ZA-Z's Smoker's Pack | Five strains from seed packet to smoke. Grow it like hemp, dry it on a rack, grind it, then roll a joint or a blunt or pack the glass bong; each strain has its own mix of calm, cheer, munchies and a little wobble. Seed packets turn up where hemp seed does and in farm and garden stores; buds, joints and the kit sit with tobacco. | under 1 MB |
| ZA-Z's Tracers | Tracer rounds in eight calibres and five colours: green, blue, red, gold and pink. Found wherever plain ammunition is, about one in ten. Load them through the Gunworks ammo menu; every tracer shot draws a streak in its colour that everyone nearby sees. | under 1 MB |
There is no Steam Workshop collection for ZA-Z yet, and you do not need one: joining the server takes care of every download.
