How to Change Map on a 7 Days to Die Server

In this article, you will learn how to edit the serverconfig.xml file to change your map to a pre-generated one or generate a random world (RWG) using a selected seed.

1. Go to the server console and click Stop to shut it down.

2. Go to Files and select the file serverconfig.xml.

3. Find the following server variables: Game World, WorldGenSeed, WorldGenSize, and GameName.

The GameWorld setting determines the name of the server world (default = Navezgane). If you want to use a pre-generated map, enter one of the following values:

  • Pregen06k01
  • Pregen06k02
  • Pregen08k01
  • Pregen08k02

If you want to generate a random world, enter RWG.

WorldGenSeed is the variable you must change if GameWorld = RWG, and this is where you enter the seed you want to use for world generation.

WorldGenSize is the variable responsible for the size of the randomly generated map; if you want to use one, enter a number that is a multiple of 2048 here.

GameName is the variable responsible for the current server save; enter a new name here to create a new save with a new map.

4. Save the file.

5. Start server.
