No POIs spawning. Is this a bug?

[Jesternario]

So, I started up alpha 20. But no map I play on has any buildings. At all. No POIs, no traders, no ruined structures. Nothing. I have no idea what's going on. I just started up a new world in Navezgane, and no structures are there. To be sure, vehicles, trash piles, and the rest are there, but no buildings of any kind.

 

Is this a bug? What steps should I take to figure out what's going on?

Did you do what is outlined here? :

Please be aware that a wipe of previous Save Data and Generated Worlds is recommended for A20 - 7 Days to Die

[Jesternario]

No save data at all. I even went as far as to do an uninstall/reinstall.

Herm.. The guys/gals over here might be able to help:

 

General Support - 7 Days to Die

 

I advise reading through the first post in this thread first though:

No. This is ALPHA SOFTWARE and you can't expect to have stuff and things in the game!

 

Sorry, I don't mean to pick. I just chuckled at your OP. It was kind of like "My car is making a loud screeching noise and is slightly on fire...is this a problem?"

Wow that's pretty wild. Are you on Navegane or are you trying to do random gen?

Sounds like a bad seed. Try again with a different seed.

Imma just drop a quote from the second line of the OP here, and mutter something about tiktok-levels-of-attention-span under my breath...

lets try this:
1. go to where steam installed 7 days to die
2. click into it -> click into Data -> click into Prefabs -> click into POIs ( you should have over 3,000 files inside it)
3. so delete the folder.
4. next go back out to Data folder and click into Worlds -> click into Navezgane
5. see a file called prefabs.xml -> delete it -> now go to steam interface and make steam verify the game files you will receive all new ones to replace the deleted ones.
6. all done, good, now fire game up create a NEW navezgane map with a NEW Different seed name.

let us know what happens and provide logs and screen shots of game creation settings and after you get in the game.

yes you can get the launcher to do all this but lets pretend it is more confusing or that you may not make the right choices so we do it this way to be sure.

good luck and we will be waiting

I did a full delete, delete from common steam folder, and then install. That seems to have solved the issue. Let's hope it does not come back.
