I am not sure on that.  I open my steam and then open the game.  When I start a new game it will show the Volallha, Pregen 1,2,3 and Nazegame.  When I go to the Volallha it will have A18 and give warning of failure if loaded.  The 3 Pregens and the Nazegame will start in A19 no problem.  I know that before in the Volallha game loadout I could name it.

Those are the worlds already created. You can also select "New Random World" and pick a seed when starting a new game, or go to Editing Tools / Random Gen Previewer and generate a new world from there.

That is just it, it is not allowing me to do that.  When I go to create it is still stating the Alpha 18 pack.

[katarynna]

There is a difference between creating a new game and creating a new world. Once you create a world, you can play as many different save games on that world as you want.

 

It really sounds like you are trying to create a new game on an old world. Volalha is an old world created in a previous version. You are trying to create a new GAME on the old WORLD. 

 

You need to select new random world and enter something completely different that you have never used before to generate a world and type that into the seed name. That will generate a new world. You can then choose that world (it will be named something not Volalha, pregen 1,2,3 or navezgane), and start as many new games named whatever you want on that new world.

 

If you want to see what your new world looks like, you can instead go to Editing Tools instead of New Game. Type something new and completely different than anything you have ever used before to generate a new world. Wait until it is done. You can then see your world. The game will give it some sort of name (like whatever county). When you go to new game, pick the new world you just generated to start that game on.

*** SEEDS FOR Alpha 19.0 Stable ***

 

Huh... I'd have to spend a lot of time here to do this. I have about 200 different seeds for alpha 19 experimental, half 4k and half 8k. I have previews from all of them publicly available here: 

 

 

 

This is amazing!  Thanks for all the hard work :)

Anybody have a seed for a plentiful poi in the forest and mostly flat also ? 

[prkchpsyring]

I'm really confused. I was looking for a good wasteland biome map and used the ZombieSnuggles one that was listed on this thread. Do the directions of the biomes sometimes get flipped around?? I went due east from the forest to get to the wasteland biome and...I hit the tundra...which was supposed to be in the north.

yeah the maps sometimes flip - at least from what I have seen with playing with nitrogen (at least in the map previews), not sure if it happens in the game from its own generated worlds tho.

Are there any that have snow primarily in higher elevations? Funpimp need to do that more.

Hi guys, I need help with this.
 

I was creating this map in minecraft, as a guide for a couple of short stories that I was writing, so that I could go through it in a closer way.
But you know, minecraft is minecraft and the graphics are not the same.

I have tried to recreate the map with Unreal 4 and Unity, but my PC is not as powerful as to handle the elements and it takes me a lot more work.

 

My new option, much easier and more feasible: 7DTD.
The map was originally created with the World Painter for minecraft version 1.12.2, and I used the seed to see if it worked in the 7DTD map editor.
After all, the base of the 7DTD was based on minecraft.

Obviously, it didn't work, and I still have no solutions to the problem.
The seed, in case anyone wants to try it, is 27594263.

And this is a previous image, in the World Painter, of the map that I want to make.

 

The color map, with land and water:

The height map:

The seed result on the 7DTD map editor.

I already tried the A17 tutorial, to create a map based on an altitude map, and it didn't help me, since it is an experimental version and for the A17, not the A19.

New player here.

 

So with my Multiplayer (nitrado server), I would, for example, set in the server config file xml:

<property name="GameWorld"                        value="RWG"/>

<property name="WorldGenSeed"                    value="ClumsiestAbeles"/> 
 <property name="WorldGenSize"                    value="8192"/>

 

Would that generate the world as the clumsiestabeles template for that multiplayer server? Thanks

Yes, that should do it.

Be aware that server map generation and client map generation may vary a little bit between the two.  Also note that it takes quite a while to generate the map on the dedicated server.

 

For best results I would advise creating the map locally with your client, and then uploading it to the server. Then you would replace "RWG" with the name of the folder with the generated map. You would place the folder into /Data/Worlds.

[Nerhesi]

Oh excellent, thank you for that info!

So I just did this (generate locally) - but I cant seem to find the folder it placed the world in locally? It doesnt seem to be in under Data/Worlds?

It will be in your local GeneratedWorlds folder by default.

Mine for example is...
C:\Users\Sylen\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds

[Grandpa Minion]

maps will generate differently on dedicated servers vs what it does client side.

Yeah, SylenThunder already covered that like three posts ago.

You might consider having a good read before posting. I know you get forgetful when you get old, but this is just silly.

[Nerhesi]

So just a bit of an update... the variance, at least when it comes to POIs, is a bit more than minor. There are significant differences in that at least...

Yes, Server world generation and local client world generation will produce entirely different results.     The seeds here are were client made seeds and won't be even remotely the same when a server generates them.

[Crazily]

Where is this "SystemicArbutus" seed...I don't see it in the google docs or preview files?

 

It seems to me that the following seed is loaded with tons of good POI?

 

 

HebephrenicDecimalization

[castora]

I just found a full desert map(It's 100% Desert) on 8k with 7 big cities,

However I can't see the splat3 as in a18 with roads and etc.I would like to post it here but I don't know how to get the roads and prefab list in a way more clear way
 

Help would be appreciated ^^

The Best Random Gen Seed I Have Ever Created!

 

Seed Name: Decillionaire

Seed Generated County Name: Voluje Territory

Seed Number: -527725406

World Size: 8192 x 8192

Game Version: Alpha 19.3 (b6)

Discovered: Jan 26, 2021

Traders: 8 (I Believe...)

 

What is SPECIAL About It: Just take a look at the pictures, it is a MASSIVE city-world, more large cities and more huge, high-tier POIs than Ive ever seen in any world I've ever played on since I bought the game 5 years ago. I spent several hours looking at other top-rated seeds and then generating my own to get to this point. Take a look at the third picture showing the North-Western (I think) quadrant. Within a few square kilometers you will find: 5 traders, 4 massive cities with high-tier POIs, 2 large-sized Towns, and even a medium town. In the fourth picture we take a look at what I think is the best city in the seed: The massive northern forest city. You can clearly see a sky-scraper, 4 or 5 large factories, tons of smaller businesses, and plenty of large houses that probably have big cellars.

 

What are the Negatives: Well really, I only see one major negative. With the positioning of the towns, obviously the ideal place for a base is going to be somewhere in the North-Western Forest in the open area, centered between of all the biggest cities. However, this means it is going to be a long trip if you ever want to visit the Desert Biome for Aloe or Yucca plants. The only other negative is that there are no mega-cities in the Wasteland biome, which means there is little interest in ever exploring the most difficult area of the game. But remember, big deadly animals love the Snow, so hopefully that is enough to make up for it. Enjoy the seed and let me know how it goes if you play!

Anyone know of a good seed with lots of towns, all the major POIs, such as large factories, Dishong, Crack-a-Book HQ, and is relatively flat!  I really don't like the huge chasms I come across in all the generated maps with no easy way to travel between them.

To generate and analyse these seeds I use scripts that are freely available here: https://github.com/dcsobral/seedGen

 

All my 8k seeds have 10 traders, all my 4k seeds have 5 traders. To make it easy to figure out what seed you find interesting, I've added some of my analysis to a Google Spreadsheet anyone can look at. You can see the number of prefabs in the map, the number of unique prefabs, and the number of unique prefabs that are tier 4, tier 5, stores, skyscrapers or in my top 7 and top 15 lists. Once you find a seed you like, go to the drop link above, download the zip file, and you'll find a map preview there. Traders are marked in the map previews with pinkish outlines, though you might have to zoom in to spot it.

 

The spreadsheet is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E1abSNz0_rsoDd-3AVp6SzxY-AF7eVjMfVNhIXN3X20/edit?usp=sharing

 

I also have a thumbnail preview of all seeds, with color coded buildings. Legend for the seed previews here: https://imgur.com/m1FatgC

Could you maybe create a top 10 seeds for each size map would mean alot and probably help people narrow down their seed choices too
