7 Days To Die: Importing a local game

How to upload your local 7 Days to Die save to your hosted server.

Before You Start

• Plan S does not support save imports. You need Plan M or higher. You can upgrade your plan at any time.
• The web uploader accepts a single .zip file. Our backend automatically detects your map and save data inside the zip, so you don’t
  need to match an exact folder structure – but following the layout below ensures the smoothest experience. Step-by-step

1. Create two folders on your desktop: one named save_game and one named user_data. Inside user_data, create two more folders:
   GeneratedWorlds and Saves.
2. Locate your local save. Press Win + R and paste %AppData%\7DaysToDie. You’ll see two key folders:
   • GeneratedWorlds — contains your map (terrain, biomes, prefabs)
   • Saves – contains your game progress (players, regions, structures)
3. Copy map files. Find the folder matching your world name inside GeneratedWorlds (e.g. East Tausa County) and copy it into
   user_data/GeneratedWorlds/.
4. Copy save files. Inside Saves, find your world name folder (e.g. East Tausa County), then the save folder inside it. Copy that
   save folder into save_game/. You can optionally rename the save folder to MyGame — the server will do this automatically if you
   don’t.
5. Zip both folders. Select save_game and user_data together, right-click, and compress them into a single .zip file. The zip should
   look like this at the top level: your_world.zip

6. Upload the zip. In the Supercraft panel, go to Manage → Files & Mods, scroll to Upload a Save (World), choose your zip, and click
   Upload. Wait for the upload to complete.
7. Activate and restart. Once the upload finishes, press Activate → Activate and Restart. The server will unpack your files and boot
   into your imported world. Troubleshooting

• Upload fails immediately: Check that your file is a valid .zip (not .rar or .7z).
• Server generates a new map: The world folder name must match between GeneratedWorlds and Saves. The server sets GameWorld
  automatically from your uploaded map name.
• Players spawn with nothing: Make sure you included the Player/ folder inside your save.
• “Importing not available”: You’re on Plan S, which doesn’t support imports. Upgrade here.
