7DtD Map Master Plan

7DMap_Plan

Here is the master plan:

  • The main towns (areas marked in red) will get regen every “7 Days” on “Fun Pimps Fridays”
  • The areas marked in green I will try to keep safe for long term unless there is a patch that changes map features or adds prefabs so build there if you plan a long term base
  • Other areas will be reset as necessary
  • Area -3,2: Trespassers will be shot on sight; survivors will be shot again
