Dealer’s Choice Map And Environmental Mod Map For 7 Days To Die

5Dealer’s Choice Map And Environmental Mod

No Cities At All

This7 Days To Diemap is something a little different. Firstly, rather than simply chopping the map up into separate biomes, the designer has created a map with a choice of biome based on the elevation of the terrain. As such, the very highest parts of the map are the snow biome, and then, as the elevation lowers, it moves through forest, burnt, desert, and wasteland.

There are no towns or cities on theDealer’s Choice Map. Instead, it focuses on wilderness POIs, which have been placed in locations such as cliff edges and hilltops. The designer has stated that they wanted to open up some cool options for base locations by doing this.
