DISCORD
We have a really active Discord channel for all things to do with the server. Come on over and join in the conversation:

RESTART TIMES
The servers will restart regularly to keep things fresh and stable. The restart times are 8am / 1pm / 6pm / 11pm / 3am BST.
DAY / NIGHT CYCLE
We run a 4 hour day and roughly a 30 minute light night cycle.
SERVER WIPES
To keep the loot economy flowing across the map and to avoid loot being stashed away on the map for too long, we will wipe the servers to a fresh state every 2 months. The first wipe will take place in October 2020. All characters and loot stashes will be reset.
VEHICLE RESETS
To ensure all vehicles are regularly used and not abandoned in the middle of nowhere for days, we will reset all vehicles on a regular basis.
With this in mind, do not use vehicles for storage as you will lose it all.

SERVER GUIDELINES
There is no right or wrong way to play DayZ but with any community servers, we ask that you abide by these simple guidelines:
DayZ should be about natural, unscripted exploration. Meeting people, making those decisions whether to interact, attempt to be friendly or to not trust anyone.
Remember, Military zones and surrounding towns are always dangerous areas to be in so be on your guard and be ready for a fight. Outside of these areas, people without guns in their hands are not necessarily a threat so why not speak to them and see where it takes you.
#1
Please don’t stream snipe other players that are live streaming. Evidence of this will result in warnings and then bans.
#2
Please don’t use glitches or bugs to gain an advantage in any situation.
#3
Don’t be a dick. Griefing, combat logging, racism, sexism, xenophobia and general dickishness will not be tolerated.
If you have evidence of any of the above being disregarded or ignored, please contact an admin via the HappyBombs Discord channel and we will deal with it.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I can’t find the servers in the launcher – how do I find them?
Make sure you are searching for ZERO 1 or ZERO 2. The numbers are key for the servers appearing.
Do I have to be a HappyBombs subscriber on Twitch to play on this server?
Of course not, the server is open to everyone although don’t forget to use that Twitch Prime sub on one of your favourite broadcasters *cough*
What is the population of the servers?
We’ve set them to 70 players.
Will my character transfer across the 2 ZERØ servers?
No, both servers are independent from each other so you will have different characters across them.
Where do the helicopters spawn?
Chernarus: Helicopters have a chance of spawning at the NWAF in 3 places, Zelenogorsk Military/Train yard, Severograd Quarry and the Biathalon Area.
Livonia: Helicopters have a chance of spawning at Lembork, Nidek, East of Karlin, South East of Nadbor, Shooting Range and other places.
Is there a way to flip helicopters over?
Yes, you can use a wrench on any vehicle to reset its position.
Do you have a night time phase on your server and how long does it last?
Night time is approximately 30 minutes set to lighter nights.
Are there any rules on the server?
There are but its mainly about playing fair and not being a dick. Check out the server guidelines above before you play.
Can I KOS?
Whilst we actively encourage interaction of any kind, KOS is part of DayZ and we don’t want to change that. It creates stories, it creates divides, it creates revenge motives and sometimes you just want to shoot something or someone, right!
Anyway to team up with other people on the server?
There are a few team-chat voice channels and also a specific channel in HB’s Community Discord where you can jump in and see if anyone wants to join you.
Can I use Discord, TeamSpeak or any other voice chat app to chat to my friends in-game?
In-game voice chat is always better from a DayZ Experience point of view but yes, you can chat in private if you want.
Why has the server gone down?
If the server has gone down outside of the normal schedule restart times, its usually because of a Windows Update to the server or a crash. We have a new server management tool so it should come back online automatically. Best to check the Discord channel for any announcements.
Is there a Trader on the server?
No, we do not run a Trader on this server. Find people and trade with them naturally in-game – you’ll be surprised just how friendly and helpful some people can be.
