Question about RWG options on private servers

Greetings!

My wife and I play on PS5, and are excited to finally have a private server of our own to explore anytime we wish, without the need for a host. However, during our previous hosted games, we always altered the % ratio of biomes and even terrain heights somewhat. While this was quite easy to do on console, I am having difficulty figuring out how to do the same in my Nitrado settings. Is this a feature that is simply not supported on Nitrado, or am I missing something? I'm simply looking for a little more control over how the world is created on our private server. Any ideas, or did I waste money renting a server too early?
 
I run a linux server out of my house for my ps5 friends as I also play on a ps5. On dedicated server as far as I understand the world name coupled with.

Get settings on a dedicated server are apparently controlled by the rwgmixer.xml file here:
/home/7days/7days/Data/Config/rwgmixer.xml
I have my install set to /home/7days/ and my server folder name is 7days.

I can't speak on what the settings could affect if you change anything but I would say that is the ONLY xml file you could alter that would not break cosplay compatibility.
 
This is THE BEST RWG map viewer I have seen:

Teragon is mentioned many times as the best RWG generator:

Teragon is a third party random map generator created by Pille that can make maps for A20 and newer versions of 7D2D.  It was first released for public use in January 2023 and has received many updates and new features since that time, with many more planned.  It comes with both a 2D and 3D preview of your generated maps and can even load maps generated through RWG or other sources to preview and add to or adjust.  Teragon has a built-in updater so you will always be up-to-date.

Teragon is a very powerful map generator, providing a significant number of...

Now for the life of me I am not finding a way or instructions on installing or using, but it looks like it might be windows based. Too bad for me since I live in a basement and use Linux as there are no winders at home...

Mods, please correct me if I am incorrect in anything, I hate to give out bad information to newcomers, it gives a bad impression.
 
I found this information:

This is a good walkthrough video on using the software:

Yes, KingGen is dead. A few map makers still use it for one of its features, but it didn't make the transition to A20's Tiles and Parts, so it's effectively useless now for nearly everyone unless you want to play A19. It liked large cities, but had trouble with roads and putting POIs on/near elevation changes.

NitroGen was also a world generator of the time. Its support also ended with A19. It was older than KingGen so it was a bit more polished. It made a smoother world, but didn't go for larger cities. It had an interesting way of assembling farms.

I believe Teragon distributed via their Discord channel. I see a #downloads channel and note about supporting versions A20/A21 to present.
