Keep The Citadel online

Donations fund hosting and infrastructure only. Play is free for everyone — support is optional, and we publish exactly where every dollar goes.

All proceeds go towards hosting

No admin cut. Hardware, upkeep, and upgrades come first.

The bigger picture

Growing The Citadel Network

Today you help keep Knox County running. Tomorrow, the same support helps us open more worlds for the same community.

The Citadel is not just one Project Zomboid server — it is a long-term home for players who want curated, story-driven survival communities. When you donate, part of that money is saved for future expansion: extra hardware, new game licenses, and the staff time to launch and maintain additional servers without splitting the community apart.

More Zomboid worlds

Hardcore, builder-friendly, or event-focused Knox County variants — same Citadel standards, different rulesets.

Minecraft

A persistent sandbox for builders and redstone tinkerers who already know each other from the main server.

7 Days to Die

Horde-night survival with the same Discord, rankings culture, and admin presence you expect here.

One community

Shared Discord, shared identity, shared support — new servers plug into what already exists instead of starting from zero.

Infrastructure first

Donations fund machines and bandwidth before hype. We expand when the bills are covered, not before.

Early support matters

Supporters today help us reach the scale where a second (and third) server is realistic — not just a roadmap slide.
