Random World Generation (RWG) creates a unique landscape each time you start a new map. Instead of using the default Navezgane or a pre‑made custom world, RWG offers endless exploration and surprises. This article explains how to switch your server to RWG and configure the seed and map size using the Wabbanode Control Panel.
If you’d like to upload a custom map instead of generating a new one, see our guide on Upload a Map or Existing World to Your 7 Days to Die Server.
Why Use Random World Generation?
Random worlds provide fresh experiences, unique terrain features and different points of interest. Each seed results in a different map layout, encouraging exploration and variety between playthroughs.
Enabling Random World Generation
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.
- Open the Settings tab.
- Set Game World to RWG. This tells the server to create a new random map on launch.
- Enter a Game Name value if not already, this is your world seed.
- Select the Map Size. Common options include 6K, 8K or 10K. Larger maps offer more exploration but require more server resources and time to generate.
- Click Save to apply the settings.
- Return to the main page and Start your server. The initial start may take longer than usual while the world generates. Once complete, players can join and explore the new random map.
You’ve successfully switched to Random World Generation. Experiment with different seeds and map sizes to create diverse environments and keep the game fresh.
