Adding a Generated World to my server?

Generating a world for your server,

To get started, load up 7 Days to Die, then on the main menu, select the option "Editing Tools" following that "Random Gen Previewer"

Inside of Random Gen Previewer
  • Set your World Seed to whatever you like.
  • Set your World Size to whichever option is preferred.
  • You can ignore Preview Quality
  • The options underneath are for fine-tuning the map. Edit those as you see fit.
  • Take NOTE: At the very top bar, it will say "GENERATE WORLD" then on the right above the preview that is the World Name, and will be used throughout the following tutorial.

On your computer's file browser (WINDOWS) navigate to, 

%appdata%\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds

While the above works for some users, you want to look into your UserDataFolder, or whever you have that specified.

Locate your "World Name" that was generated before.

 

Now that you have finished the setup, let's get the server ready.

On your server's panel, go to the SFTP tab.

Select the option,

Leave uploaded files intact. We won't change any game files unless we're installing a new version of the game. This will let you upload mods through SFTP.

Click "Save Mods Setting"

After you have saved the setting, let's connect to the server's SFTP.

Using your SFTP supported client of choice. We have links to FileZilla on the SFTP tab with their own instructions. Connect to your service with the details provided on the SFTP page.

Once in your service, we will now head over to the following directory,

/7daysserver/Save/GeneratedWorlds

You can now upload your "World Name" from your client to the server in this directory.

Once uploaded, head to your Basic tab on the server's panel. Find "Server Map" click the drop down and select "Custom Map" a new option is then displayed below, inside of "Custom Map Name", put the "World Name" from before in this spot to be identical to the one on the server's directory.

Example, if your World Name was, PUGAGO VALLEY, in the Custom Map Name space, I would put PUGAGO VALLEY.

Scroll to the bottom, click Save Settings.

Go to Advanced tab, find "Game Name" and set this to something you can remember as a save name. This can be changed to restart your session as its like swapping saves.

Save and Restart your server, it will be online much quicker compared to the server side RWG system.
