[2022] Downloaded another game in the time it took to start map

Generating a new map takes ages. Using an existing map is SIGNIFICANTLY faster.

7DTD pre-generates the entire game world so you don't have any ingame loading lag the way something like minecraft does with it's chunks that get generated as you travel.

Yeah, knew it would take a while, but atm my attention is fleeting heh :P

I feel that. Might I suggest pre-generating a few maps on the side while you're doing something else some time; Then the next time you come to play you've got maps ready n rarin to go.

Hopefully one map is enough to entertain you for many hours. For a new player, I anticipate the smallest map size will you keep you busy for a long time.

Also be aware that the game comes with not just Navezgane, a custom-made map, but also three pregenerated maps. These are generated using the same process as maps you generate yourself. The only difference is that they are generated ahead of time instead of on your machine, so you don't have to wait.

How long it takes is literally tied to the capabilities of your core system. If you have an older CPU, and not a lot of RAM it will take considerably longer.
