How to import a Saved World to your 7 Days to Die Server

First thing you will need to do is locate the files on your personal PC. Then, head to `%appdata%\Roaming\7 Days to Die\Saves\` and find the world that you want to import and zip up the folder.

Once that folder is zipped up you can head to the Game Panel. Once you get there head to the file manager and navigate to .local/share/7DaystoDie/Saves

Please Note. You may need to use SFTP to upload your world depending on the size.

Please also take note of the Saves name so that the world name can be changed in the Server Configuration.

Once you are done uploading everything head back to the main directory and open serverconfig.xml and change the World Name to the World Name that you just uploaded.

Once that's done you can simply restart your server and the World should be imported. If you have any issues don’t hesitate to open a ticket with our Support Team.
