Hello Survivors!
Today we have V1.0 b316 EXP for you all, please find the changelog at the end.

Survivors!
We are deprecating the existing EXP Pregens with the next EXP update. New ones will be provided and named differently to prevent accidental savegame issues.
To preserve your current progress, please copy your currently played Pregen and paste it into your generated worlds folder:
%APPDATA%\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds

Locate your existing world here:
:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die

Alternatively, find it by:
  1. Right-clicking on the game in Steam
  2. Selecting "Properties"
  3. Going to the “Installed Files” tab
  4. Clicking “Browse…”
  5. Opening the “Data” folder
  6. Opening the “World” folder
We’ve made significant improvements to RWG since the original Pregen worlds for EXP. We want you to enjoy these enhancements, but we also respect your current save games and want you to continue playing if you wish.

You can also download the EXP Pregens here: Google Drive Link[drive.google.com]

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Stay cool,
The Fun Pimps
