Extended World Settings Mod Guide

Extended World Settings by ShadowOsmium provides advanced hooks into the Random World Generation (RWG) system of 7 Days to Die, allowing for far more granular control than the default UI.

Key Features

  • Megacity Support: Increase the probability of city tiles appearing in all biomes.
  • Biome Weighting: Force forests to be larger or eliminate the wasteland entirely.
  • Custom Map Sizes: Hooks to enable 10K, 12K, and 16K generation.

Pro-Tips & Reddit Insights

  • Use 'Lines' layout for a traditional progressive difficulty experience from North to South.
  • Warning: Generating 16K maps requires at least 32GB of system RAM or the game will likely crash during the 'Splitting Tiles' phase.
