7 Days to Die Experimental – Sandbox Code

With the latest release of the 7 Days to Die v3.0 experimental branch update, there have been major changes to the server configuration. For those wanting to remain using their settings, you will need to generate and use a Sandbox Code. This is done in singleplayer, then carried over to the server. In this Nitrado guide, we’ll show you how to create and use Sandbox Codes to keep your existing experimental settings.

⚠️ Before making changes to your 7 Days to Die Experimental server, we recommend making a backup. More information can be found here.

Preparation

1. Head towards your Nitrado Web Interface for the 7 Days to Die server.
2. Navigate to Settings > Config Files, then review the serverconfig.xml file.
   
3. Make note of your preferred settings, e.g. XP multipliers, speeds, loot, etc..
   
   Keep this open for later use.

Generating Sandbox Code

1. Launch 7 Days to Die v3.0 Experimental on your PC via Steam.
2. Create a New Game, then click Sandbox Options.
   
3. Edit the settings until they match your preferences.
4. When you’re finished, copy the Sandbox Code on the left.
   
   Note: every minor or major change in the settings will generate a new code.

Server Configuration

1. Head back to your serverconfig.xml file in your Nitrado Web Interface.
2. Paste the Sandbox Code for this setting:
   <property name="SandboxCode" value="YOUR_CODE_HERE"/>
   
3. If you do not see this, then add the setting somewhere in your configuration file.
4. Afterwards, click Save Changes at the top and restart the server.

With your Sandbox Code configured properly, your server is ready for the latest experimental challenges. Gather your supplies, rally your friends, and enjoy a perfectly tailored survival experience 🛠️
