A Little About Us
Established in 2024, Refuge Gaming has grown from a passion project into a close-knit community nearly 800+ strong! We've been running 7 Days to Die servers for a while now, and Project Z quickly became our most popular offering. We run the premium version of the Project Z overhaul alongside other server-side QoL mods, with an extensive feature list and a robust backend — teleports, banking, a player shop & bazaar, mini games, voting rewards, regular backups, and more.
We're also excited to announce we've officially merged with Stronghold, another awesome 7 Days to Die community! Seasoned modder Strongheart has joined our team, bringing custom gameplay mechanics directly to our servers — like honking your vehicle horn to open trader doors and custom "blood rains" in place of traditional blood moons.
All of our servers operate with server-side only mods, so you can join without changing anything on your game client. Just search for us and jump in!

Powered by RefugeBot — Built In-House
Our servers run on RefugeBot, our custom-built server administration and community platform. Unlike servers that rely on RCON tools, RefugeBot runs as an in-process native Agent directly inside the server:
- Zero command lag — shop deliveries and teleports happen instantly
- Interactive live web map — tracks players, zombie spawns, animals, and claim boundaries across 5 zoom levels
- Web-based player shop & bazaar — browse listings, claim hourly rewards, or sell your own loot
- Blood-Moon-aware scheduler — the server never reboots mid-horde; restarts are deferred until Day 8 morning
- Automated server healing — clears ghost players, resolves wedged connections, and handles hourly backups
- Full Discord bridge — two-way chat, donor rank syncing, and slash commands
Run Your Own Server? Meet RefugeBot Monitor
If you host your own self-hosted or VPS 7 Days to Die server, we built RefugeBot Monitor for you — a free, optional local companion utility (Windows & Linux) that gives basic servers a proper control room. Highlights include horde-aware intelligent restarts, SHA-256 validated rollback-protected backups, a version-aware serverconfig.xml editor, clean SteamCMD installs or live server adoption, and remote management from anywhere via a quick pairing link. Grab it at https://refugebot.com
