[2021] Random Gen vs Nitrogen

Originally posted by ∪ω∪: I used Nitrogen a few months ago, and to my surprise I was extremely disappointed. There wasn't even a burned forest biome or wasteland. There was an option to add them, but instead of creating a normal biome that occurs in a space like any other, it generated circles around the map that contained burned forest / wasteland. It just didn't make sense.

Here is a preview of a map that I have generated with burned forest and wasteland:

I wanted to ask two things:
1. Which is better for you, Nitrogen or Random Gen?
2. Does Random Gen generate burned forest and wasteland?

I haven't tried Random Gen, but Nitrogen has quite disappointed me...

Nitrogen support ended before Alpha 19 went stable. In its current state, you are strongly advised against using it.

If you wish to create custom maps outside of the games built-in tool, I would recommend using KingGen[community.7daystodie.com].

Keep in mind though that these tools take a lot of shortcuts to generate the maps as fast as they do. As a result you are liable to run into bugs that you would not experience in the built-in generator.
