❓ About
The High Guys Official Expansion Pack is our take on adding as much new content to Project Zomboid as we can while keeping the experience authentic. The focus is on cannabis and everything that comes with it, but we're also expanding the game world in a way that still feels true to Zomboid.
You'll be able to grow, harvest, and use weed in a bunch of different ways. Grow different strains, dry and cure your harvest, roll joints, bake edibles, and even trade or share with other survivors. The effects are more than just visual or roleplay based — they tie into gameplay too.
Outside of the cannabis system, we're adding new items, recipes, props, and environmental details that blend into the world naturally. Everything is made to feel like it belongs in Knox County without taking away from the survival vibe.
Whether you're building a quiet grow-op or just looking to bring some new flavor to the apocalypse, the High Guys Expansion Pack adds something fun and different to your next playthrough.

📰 Common Info
- The cannabis decarb process is currently quite primitive. Simply place Ground Cannabis in an oven until it becomes Decarbed Cannabis. Be careful to not let it burn!
- If you want to create edibles our CannaButter is usable in evolved recipes!
- Growing cannabis is currently the same as growing many other plants as we are using the same system and stats. We have plans to build a new growing system with some unique mechanics in future!
- Harvesting a Cannabis plant will result in Wet Flower. These items currently need to be dried in ovens or clothing dryers before they can be used for smoking.
- Early dev updates and news available in the Discord!
- We are using Nexus Mods for version control.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
We do our best to read and respond to all the comments and suggestions we receive.
Originally the pack was built on B41 and that was the main pack, but since the unstable B42 release the teams focus has shifted entirely to the B42 version. B41 is now end of life and will receive minimal support. B41 is working in multiplayer when last checked.
This was a subject that was mentioned a lot. Spawn rates are very customisable in our mod. We have implemented sandbox options to be used in a few different ways to help customise your experience.
Seeds have a very low spawn rate by default, this doesn't mean they are impossible to find! Try searching farm stores and gardening stores. There is also a small chance of collecting some seeds when grinding cannabis.
We are always working to add more content to the mod as well as refining and improving what is already available. While we do our best to work along a roadmap we do sometimes hit roadblocks and require time away. Because of this we don't have a concrete roadmap but we will provide a loose plan for the community to know what to expect.
