Eternal Frost: Cryogenic Winter
Cryogenic Winter is a popular total-conversion mod for Project Zomboid that eliminates the standard climate in favor of a permanent, lethal ice age. With temperatures plunging as low as -100°C, the game shifts from “Avoiding Zombies” to “Maintaining Body Heat.”

Recommended Configuration
To create a realistic frost-apocalypse, you should adjust your sandbox variables to match the environmental reality:- Erosion: Set
ErosionSpeedto Slow or Very Slow. Plant growth is unrealistic in extreme frost. - Farming: We recommend decreasing farming yields or requiring indoor “Greenhouse” builds for any successful harvests.
- Decay: Corpses and food technically preserve better in the cold, so you may want to increase rot timers for realism.
Essential Survival Equipment
- Antique Ovens: These become the most valuable objects in the world, as they provide heat without requiring electricity.
- Padding: Players must wear high-tier insulated clothing immediately upon spawning or face death from hypothermia within minutes.
- Vehicles: Engine heaters become vital; players should prioritize finding “Heater” parts in good condition.
