When you configure your server, you may want to upload a custom world to improve your 7 Days to Die experience. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of locating your local worlds and then uploading one of them to your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Locate Your World <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

To upload your custom world, you need to first generate it in single-player and find it as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Start 7 Days to Die, then generate a world in single-player.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Press the Windows button and type run<\/code>, then press Enter<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Type in the box the following text, then click Ok<\/code>: %appdata%7DaysToDieSaves<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"Run\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Here you can find folders corresponding to each specific generation type. The world folders are located inside them, depending on the generation type used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Get a copy of your generation folder, which contains the world folder. You will also have to note the name of the generation folder (Navezgane<\/code> in the example below) and the world folder (My Game<\/code> in the example below).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"Generation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \"World<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Now, you’ve just got a copy of your world folder!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Custom Generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          If you are using a custom generation for your world, some extra steps are required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Open your game installation folder, open the Data<\/code> folder, then the Worlds<\/code> folder.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Open the folder with the same name as your custom generation type, then open the file titled map_info.xml<\/code> with a text editor like NotePad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Locate the following options and note their values: HeightMapSize<\/code>, Generation.Seed<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                \u26a0 NOTE<\/strong>\u26a0: The HeightMapSize<\/code> may show up as two identical numbers. You need to note only one of the values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"Values\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n
