KingGen - A Random World Generator for 7 Days to Die

 Yes, in the Wasteland only maps, there are traders even though the starter quest says No Trader but going to the nearest trader does not complete the quest.

So this is an issue of the game. KingGen just generates world files, but if the game is not happy with traders in the wasteland, then KingGen can't do anything about it.

 
The starter quest will send you to the nearest trader in the forest biome. That's why you get the no trader glitch when there is no forest biome trader.

I believe you can edit that quest so that it can send you to a wasteland trader if it is important to you.

 
To get around this problem, which I also had, I drew a small pine forest area where I placed a custom city (with settings for increased traders). I did this near my manually configured spawn point to ensure that I'd be sent to that trader and not another 2k into the map. Originally the trader near by was sat in a wasteland area. 7dtd preferred that I went to one in a forest, 2k away. The small pine area solved the problem. This was only an issue as I wanted to start at a specific point and travel through the map on a pre determined route as part of the game play.

This makes a lot of sense thank you.  I'm going paint a small forest area over a city / trader.  I see there are nice tutorials on the first post just for this too.  Also thank you for everyone's thoughts and replies.

 
i need to add this to vanilla prefablist

When you use the CLI the size should be an integer between 4 an 16. Try that

Hi,

here are the steps to do it:

  • open KG
  • go to advanced settings tab
  • click on generate a new poi list
  • point KG to the vanilla prefabs folder of the game
  • select where to save the poi list file that will be created
  • open the newly generated file
  • paste your new lines
  • save the file
  • next time you run KG, select your custom list
  • make sure that before you play the generated world, you actually put your custom pois in the game prefabs folder
Cheers

Ok! Yes. That works as expected. Uhh, that also implies KingGen was trying to create a... 4096000 x 4096000 map. Wow... No wonder it wanted 64TiB of memory! Still, the GUI option is throwing the same error... I think I remember that's a known issue though...

 
I've updated the description in the poi tutorial video to include better instructions (than I had) on making a custom POI list. I'll edit it again this morning to include the instructions you've just added Kingslayer.

Yes, that is a knows issue. I cannot reproduce it on my linux machine. So I don't know how to fix it just yet

Just to be sure, can it be any integer or only an even integer? i.e.: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 in the latter case but 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 in the former.

At least you would never have to regen the world due to players having wiped every PoI out. 😛

The generation works with odd sizes too. I'm not sure the game handles a odd sized world though. Do it at your own risk

 
Now that I have the KingGen CLI working (the GUI seems to be an issue with TKinter/TK... Maybe a QT5 front end? Anyway...), I have unsuccessfully looked for a rundown on the CLI's longopts, and their accepted values. Does anyone have a link to that? The -h option gives me a list of longopts, but without any accepted values.

Thanks in advance.

Having enough trouble with a 14kx14k world atm, I have to exit and reload every couple of hours else the game gets weird. Objects I destroy stay visibly there (but are gone when I exit and reload) and so on.

I've just finished a tutorial video on finding and fixing real-world heightmaps for use with KingGen. Hopefully this helps people looking to raise hell in their own country or just explore other regions of the world. Thanks Kingslayer for letting me share this here.

Hmm thanks for the video. Makes me want to see if I can get Texas added in.
