Upload your world

You can move a world you played on your computer to your 7 Days To Die server. You upload the save as a .zip file, extract it on the server and point the server to it.

Prepare the world on your computer

1. Open your 7 Days To Die folder: C:\Users\YourPCUsername\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie. You can also type %APPDATA%\7DaysToDie in the Windows Explorer address bar.

   

2. Open the Saves folder. Each world has a folder here, and inside it each game you played on that world has a folder named after the game.

3. Make a .zip file of the world folder you want to upload. Zip the folder itself, not just its contents.

   

4. If the world is randomly generated (RWG), also make a .zip file of the world's folder in GeneratedWorlds.

   

Upload the world to your server

1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your 7 Days To Die server.
2. If the server has a world you want to keep, make a backup first.
3. Stop the server with Shut down.
4. Open the Files tab and go to the .local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves folder.
5. Upload the .zip file of the world folder with Upload, or drag it onto the file list. Uploads over 100 MB should go through SFTP.
6. Open the ⋯ menu of the uploaded file and select Extract. Your world folder appears in Saves. You can then delete the .zip file.
7. For a randomly generated world, go to .local/share/7DaysToDie/GeneratedWorlds, upload the .zip file from GeneratedWorlds, and Extract it there too. If the GeneratedWorlds folder doesn't exist yet, create it in .local/share/7DaysToDie with New folder.
8. Open the Configuration tab and select General. In the Startup group, set:
   • Game World to the name of the world folder you uploaded.
   • Game Name to the name of the game folder inside it.
9. Select Save in the bar at the bottom of the page.
10. Start the server with Start. It loads your world.
