Random World Generation and Generation Times in 7 Days To Die

Setting a Random World Generated Map

• Navigate to the web interface of your server
• Stop your server and wait for it to be completely stopped.
• On the left-hand side, open “Settings” and select “General”.
• In your settings, as shown above, you can select your Game World from the “Game World” option.
• Select RWG

• Set a correct number for your “World Gen Size”. Starting from 4096. You can add 2048 to set a different map size. For example, the next size would be 4096+2048=6144, then 8192.

If you set a different number from the before mentioned, 8000 instead 8192, the server may encounter issues generating the world
Keep in mind that the bigger the world the longer it will take for the server to generate it

• Save changes and restart the server
• RWG map will start being generated, please continue reading to know more about generation times.
