Would you like to explore an airport in 7 Days to Die? Well now you can!

DOWNLOAD this new Pre-Gen map with Airport and Aircraft themed POIs from Nexus Mods

7 Days To Die Mods Mirror HERE

Featuring

  • 10K Teragon generated map named Panda Express created by Fluffy Panda
  • Full Terminal with concourse and aircraft parked at the gates
  • Crashed aircraft that can be found throughout the Wilderness
  • Twelve quest-able POIs


    Three Tier 1 POIs
  • Three Tier 2 POIs
  • Two Tier 3 POIs - Of which there are 3 duplicates of a Hangar, but each with their own unique aircraft inside
  • Two  Tier 4 POIs - back-to-back placed Concourse-halves which make up a whole, contiguous concourse
  • Tier 5 POI - A Huge Terminal which is about 50% larger than Dishong Tower! (But not taller -  Dishong Tower still holds the record for tallest vanilla POI)
  • Tier 5 POI - A Jumbo jet surrounded by emergency vehicles, left on the runway where it came to an ominous halt.

[*]Two Runways, taxiways and tarmac

[*]Underground section that sprawls underneath the Terminal and Concourse. Rumor has it that beneath the tunnels of Navezgane Regional Airport resides a secret government complex. Did they survive the cataclysm that enveloped the rest of the country? Did they survive down there? What secrets does this newly-discovered complex  hold? Daring Adventurers should pack a pick axe and plenty of ammo should they wish to find out!

[*]Dozens of various parts, RWG tiles and remnants for you to explore!

-- CHANGE LOG --
4/18/2023
For the Navezgane Regional Airport pre-gen map as well as the Airport pre-fabs in general;

<Added>
- Two new POIs added to the tarmac
  -- airport_aircraft_03, a Tier 1 POI with parked single-engine light planes
  -- airport_aircraft_02, a Tier 2 POI with parked business jets
  
<Changed>
- Added upgraded barricade doors to locked restaurant and VIP section doors to indicate that they are usually not suppose to be broken into
- Locked doors between baggage claim and baggage handling area to indicate that players are generally intended to go around
Note: As an open world voxel game, players have the freedom to take any path they choose! 

<Fixed>
- Fixed an issue where the torch in the terminal atrium restaurant goes out after hitting keyrack for doors

Note: New and existing POIs can be updated on existing maps using the game's 'chunk reset' command
You will need to have admin privilege's for this to work
As always, whenever starting a new game on a new Alpha version of 7 Days to Die, it is far better to just start a new game

Here are the steps needed to add/update the POIs
1. Start the game and current world that you wish to update
2. Press F1 to bring up console command screen
3. Type dm (for debug menu)
4. Move or teleport to POI locations (listed below)
5. While within the bounds of the location, type cr (for chunk reset)
NOTE: This will reset the POI back to its default setting. Any added blocks, (including storage containers) will be removed. Zombies may or may not respawn.
6. Repeat this process for any other POIs you wish to add or update

List of POIs and their general position on Navezgane Regional Airport map:
airport aircraft 03 @ -1390, 38, -835
airport aircraft 02 @ -1490, 38, -835
airport_regional_terminal_01 @ -1266, 38, -1002

Small update; Arranged the files, so that Navezgane Regional Airport can now be used as a mod. No update to the map or POIs at this time. 

 
Teamed up with Fluffy Panda to add my Airport prefabs to his Mega Metropolis map. Check out Fluffy Panda's 10K map HERE!!!

couple things:

The 4 hangars, parts of the roof collapse upon entry.

The aircraft attached to the concourse via the causway, haven't found a way to unlock it... yet.

Almost done clearing the whole place on this playthrough.  Just have the aircraft left to clear, then I can get to da choppa!  :D

(can't have zombie infested planes coming after me!)

(thinking this would make a good challenge POI... start here, must learn to make the gryrocopter and leave)

 
Sorry for the late reply! I didn't get a notification for this for some reason.

Yeeeaah . . . I had to work within the confines of the game. One of the concessions that I had to make was that in order to have a hangar large enough to fit the medium airliners, part of the roof would be unstable. Not a problem most of the time, unless the roof is disturbed (i.e. player or zombie walking across it, explosions, destroying support beams, etc.)

The irony is that the remnant "destroyed" hangar actually has a much more stable roof in the game. lol

The intended way to get into the aircraft parked at the gates is from the outside using the various ramps, ladders and vehicles attached or near an entry point into each aircraft. That being said, 7 Days to Die being a voxel-based game, you can always brute force your way in the aircraft! However you want to play! 😁

Hopefully you won't be taking THIS choppa! lol

Last update before Alpha 21 goes live;

- Fixed various texture errors
- Fixed a roll-up door on the back of the terminal that was unlocked to locked
- Changed the texture of crashed_aircraft_02 from 'chalkboard' to 'green awning' to represent a more rugged, dull, weathered feel

That's awesome. Now my question is, did you find all of the hidden loot?

Just a hint:

There are 5 Secret Stashes in the Terminal, 4 hidden throughout the concourse and another one hidden on one of the planes for 10 Secret Stashes in total. 

 
I think I did. Got all the POI type stashes, got all the ones on the planes (I think)...

I'll fire up that server tomorrow and try godmode to check it out and see if I missed anything.

Have you thought about adding this to Navezgane?

I have, actually. The biggest problem is where do I put it? There may be some places, especially along the map edges, but I'd likely end up having to erase some of TFP work in order to make it fit. If anyone wants to take my prefabs and tackle this, I'd be more than happy to support them.

What I would rather do instead is create a custom-made 6K map from scratch, where all of the terrain is hand-crafted, all of the roads are purposefully painted and all of POIs (including TFP POIs) are carefully placed. This would, of course, be much more time-consuming than just modifying a Random Gen map.

There are some other ideas that I would like to implement in the future like;

  • Adding additional and varied POIs
  • Create aviation-specific props to be used in the airport and aircraft, like actually airliner seats
  • Creating 'Tiered' Airports such as private airstrips, smaller local airports and Air Force bases.
  • Get my Airport prefabs to work with Random Gen
That last one, adding my airport to Random Gen, has been a tough nut to crack. Currently it's not compatible with Random Gen and would take a bit of coding to get all of the tiles to line up correctly. I have some ideas, though, and have been making small incremental progress.

In the meantime, I've got another POI in the works. It's still being developed, but here is a preview;

This is true, unfortunately it would require moving POIs around. Would be nice to see it next to Departure, but the real problem comes down to the size of Navezgane, which could really use a 10K revamp.

 
@AH64_Jimbo in order for you to get your poi to work for random gen you need to do a whole lot of down sizing to 200 x200 prefabs, random gen world no longer take over 200 x 200 poi's. I'm assuming yours covers a 500 x500 block radius with it manually placed in the pregen map. Not even sure what the zombie count is either.

Thank you for the information, Viper Seven, but my individual prefabs are already smaller than that; My airport is comprised of over a dozen inter-connected prefabs, the largest of which are the special airport RWG tiles at 150x150 blocks. You could consider my airport as a small town, rather than one giant POI. I take it as a compliment that the illusion that it is one massive POI is working. 🙂

Airport_Prefabs.png

My main issue with Random Gen at the moment is trying to get Random Gen to align RWG tiles and the airport prefabs in a certain, predictable way. Right now Random Gen is just that; Random. I require a certain degree of order to make it work.

 
I'm thrilled to announce a brand new Tier 5 POI added to the 7 Days to Die airport mod  , Jumbo Jet Emergency Landing

Featuring a large, 4-engine double-decker airliner left on the runway where it apparently came to a halt during an emergency landing. Curious Survivors will have to fight their way past the doomed emergency workers still at their posts, before they can discover what is left inside the aircraft itself. Beware! The zombie hordes seem exceptionally riled up around this behemoth aircraft. What dangers reside inside and outside near this aircraft? What secrets does it hold, and what loot can be obtained for the Daring Adventurer? Download the mod and find out, Survivor!
