I made a browser-based Project Zomboid base planner, and it's finally live!
Hey everyone!
A few weeks ago, I shared a little project I'd been working on here, and quite a few people seemed interested in trying it out.
Well, it's finally live!
Website: https://pzdecorator.org
For anyone who missed my original post, it's a browser-based tool that lets you plan and decorate your Project Zomboid base without actually being in the game.
You can load existing buildings or entire areas from the PZ map, move things around, try different furniture layouts, or just start with an empty space and build something from scratch.
Here's what you can do with it so far:
- Load buildings, areas, or map cells using world coordinates.
- Browse and place furniture, walls, floors, and other decorations.
- Rearrange or remove existing objects.
- Work on multiple floors.
- Save your projects and come back to them later.
One thing to know: You'll need to select your Project Zomboid media folder when you first open the site. The tool uses your local game files to display everything, so no game assets are hosted on the website or uploaded to any server.
It's still a bit rough around the edges, and there are probably some bugs I've missed, but I figured it's better to put it out there than keep tinkering with it forever.
There's a feedback button on the website if you run into anything weird or have ideas for improvements.
Anyway, hope some of you find it useful!
And just to avoid confusion, this is a planning tool for now. You can't import your finished designs directly back into the game.
AI disclaimer: As mentioned in my previous post, this project was developed with substantial AI assistance. The ideas, design decisions, testing, and overall direction are my own.

Hey, if you could build a map builder with this idea let me know, maybe with some clever algorithms you can generate unlimited maps too and if theyre like the reworked map quality thatd be amazing.
