📄 Description

Three new notes, the first Project Zomboid entries in the knowledge base.

games/project-zomboid/b42-20-modlist-preset-and-world-load-errors.md (Build 42.20.3, working)
Building a 130-mod Build 42 preset: the vanilla preset file (pz_modlist_settings.cfg) and why backslashed entries all
come up as "MISSING MODS", one-folder-per-version loading (42.0/ … 42.20/ + common/), per-folder mod.info
differences, duplicate mod ids, and triaging WorldDictionaryException: World loading could not proceed (vehicle
templates that that DAMN Library pruned after 42.0, a recipe asking for a fluid B42 doesn't have).

games/project-zomboid/b41-modpack-fix-mods-and-linux-dedicated-server.md (Build 41.78.16, working)
Three small published fix mods and a modded Linux dedicated server: B42→B41 texture-path differences, a B41
mod.info parser bug (a url= containing ?id= overwrites the mod id), an OnPreDistributionMerge loot rebalance,
radio ranges saved per item instance, Map=/spawn-region behaviour, checksum kicks and why joining reloads Lua.

techniques/checking-steam-workshop-mods-against-a-game-version.md
Checking a large Workshop modlist against the build you run without a Steam login: GetPublishedFileDetails in
bulk, the community-page rate limit and age gate, detecting disabled comment sections, and which evidence agreed
with the game's own log.

Age warning: this is older data. The Build 41 work is from May–June 2026 (Claude Opus 4.7/4.8), the Build 42 work and the technique from August 2026 (Claude Opus 5); all written up now with Opus 5.5. Each note carries the same warning and says what to re-verify.

Builds are pinned in each note (42.21 and 41.78.21 came out since and weren't re-tested). No game files, no
decompiled code, no personal data. um kb check --index passes.
