xegen / 7 Days to Die World Generator

xegen generates a complete, ready-to-play 7DTD world in your browser - no game install, no dead desktop tools. We build several candidate worlds, score them for terrain realism and gameplay balance (traders, biome progression, safe forest spawn), and hand you the best one with a map preview and a download.

Sample 7 Days to Die world map generated by xegen

Output preview

Preview the map before you install it.

Each run returns a scored world zip, a map preview, the winning seed, and exact install values for serverconfig.xml.

  • Safe forest spawn and trader access scored before download
  • 8k or 6k world zip with folder name already set
  • Hosted-server path if you do not want to upload files manually

Browse fresh generated worlds

Existing world won't load, or corrupted since 3.0? You may not need a new one - repair the corrupted region to rescue your current world (and everything built in it) before you regenerate.

Fine-tune (advanced)

The forest stays in the middle and every biome still borders it; this turns the layout so the chosen biome lies north of the forest, and the best-of-8 pick prefers a world where it does.

These settings shape the character of the world: how mountainous the terrain is, how much water there is, how dense the towns are, and a safe forest spawn. They do not place anything at a chosen spot, so you cannot ask for a specific biome, town, trader or river in a particular part of the map. Each generation uses a fresh seed; the exact layout also depends on the current engine build.

Takes about a minute. 4 worlds per day; downloads valid 24h.

How to install the world

  1. Unzip the download into user_data/GeneratedWorlds/ on your server (the zip already contains a correctly named world folder).
  2. Set GameWorld in serverconfig.xml to that folder name.
  3. Restart the server. Singleplayer: drop the folder into Data/Worlds instead.

What you get

Real height map, biomes with gameplay progression (safe forest spawn, wasteland at the edges), highways and towns assembled from the game's own street tiles, traders placed at town edges, baked sleeper spawns - validated to load on a real V2.x dedicated server. Want to skip the wait? Browse fresh generated worlds. Need somewhere to run it? We host 7 Days to Die servers - upload the world folder through the panel file manager or FTP into userdata/generatedworlds, then set GameWorld.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the generated world on my server?

Unzip the download into your server's user_data/GeneratedWorlds/ folder (or Data/Worlds for a client install), then set GameWorld in serverconfig.xml to the world's folder name and restart. The zip already contains the folder with the right name.

Is this NitroGen or KingGen?

No - NitroGen and KingGen are abandoned and no longer produce worlds that load on current 7 Days to Die versions. This is our own generator that emits the current world format (V2.x), with towns assembled from the game's real street tiles.

Does the world work in multiplayer / on a dedicated server?

Yes. Generated worlds are validated against a real dedicated server, including baked zombie sleeper spawns, traders, and spawn points.

What does quality-checked mean?

We generate several candidate worlds, score each against terrain statistics learned from official worlds plus gameplay checks (trader near spawn, quest density, difficulty rising outward, safe forest spawn), and give you the best one.

How long is my download link valid?

Links expire after 24 hours. Generation is limited to 4 worlds per day per user.

My existing world won't load since 3.0 - do I have to generate a new one?

Often not. Since the 3.0 update a world that won't load is usually a corrupted region (.7rg) file, which is frequently repairable without losing your base. Try the Corrupted Region Repair tool at /tools/7-days-to-die-region-repair first - it rebuilds the damaged region in your browser - and only generate a fresh world if the region genuinely can't be recovered.
