What A World

SurvivalQuality of Life

Version 1.4.7 · Updated Oct 3, 2026 · 139.0 MB · 18 downloads · WhatAWorld

A world that behaves like one. What A World combines consent-first performance advice with an integrated climate suite and twenty-one imported world systems, all metered by a per-player budget so weaker machines get fewer systems rather than a broken world.

Consent-first performance

Watches frame pacing and may suggest Boosted, Standard, Potato or a Display-settings review in the F7 panel. It never changes your settings automatically.

Climate suite

Air temperature depends on where you stand. Thunderstorms become Black or Dread storms with closing visibility, authored lightning and grid failure.

Acid rain

Acid rain arrives behind a green warning fog and eats clothing, skin and the dead.

A living world

Sky-to-ground lightning, livestock that react to thunder, restorative deep forest, insect ambience, scavenging animals, and a one-per-save aircraft crash waiting to be found.

World details

Ground-cover overhaul, doors that break in three stages, torchlight through floor openings, recalibrated flashlights, popcorn machines, body bags and a five-corpse gurney.

Weather stations

Server-authoritative weather events and damage, craftable weather stations, battery-powered receivers and recorded station history.

What's new in 1.4.7

  • Model rendering fix — black or invisible vehicles and character models caused by unsafe native model-uniform caching are fixed. Optional native plugin 1.3.4.

Requirements

Project Zomboid Build 42.20.4. Optional Faded Java Loader support (all off until enabled) adds safe load concurrency, exterior occlusion and a pixel framebuffer for playable retro consoles. Optional companions: Solar Shadows and the Potato / Standard texture tiers.
