How to get a massive city?

[Midas]

I want a map that is mostly city with lots of dense urban 'downtown' like areas. What settings would I need to accomplish this? I've tried generating a map with maximum city/village/town sliders and the results were still just small cities with big stretches of wilderness between them.

It didn't seem to do much. It made what seemed to be slightly larger cities, but not by a whole lot.

The kubixe county 10k map has some decent sized cities on it.

No, that's not the same mod. That's by another modder. But, it basically does the same exact thing. Who knows...they maybe even used the same code for their xml.

Edit: You could download both and open them to do a comparison. I might even do that. JaWoodie's is 12 kb and the Nexus one is 13 kb so, I'm thinking there maybe a bit more in it.

I think the mod might be better.

My original quote instead of, "looks like it" was explaining how Khaine made that mega city mod for JaWoodle's stream and his first episode of it came out long before that nexusmod and i dont even know if Khaine is even uploading to Nexusmods. So I said, "I assume that the person either made something similar after Khaine's or maybe he/she downloaded Khaine's, took nice pictures of it and uploaded to nexusmod.

Then I realized I wrote too much so I figured saying something simple like "looks like it" because it does, would suffice... but apparently not LOL

Me and my friend played on 6k maps that have towns that feel like they’re 2-3 towns usually have another town a small distance away that are also big. Maybe you just need to make smaller maps than

First, it's not really a good idea to play with a city who will take +/-25% of the total size of the map because you will got a low performance/fps but except if you have a strong PC with enought memory (24-32gb) & mostly a good Intel CPU (AMD CPU seem like less powerfull for 7DTD).

If not, search the map named something like "armageddon darkness falls". It's a 4k map only but seem like +/-75% of the map it's cover by 3 big city separate by 2 rivers.

I've got bonkers-powerful PC, so part of this is that I WANT to push the city density to see what I can get away with. I'm pretty sure my PC could handle a map-sized downtown area.

Depending on what you have it should be powerful enough. Mine isn't even what I would categorize as powerful and I get steady 40+ in a city map created with the jawoodle xml edits. 1440p with everything cranked.

These 2 in comparison....they start out coded the same till you get to 'country towns' and then values start changing quite a bit between the two RWGmixer files. I'll test map creation using the two different mixers for comparison and post back later.

Edit:
So, the rwgmixer downloaded from Nexus mods has an error in it. Couldn't find the error and not sure if it causes 7d2d to default back to it's rwgmixer. At any rate, it doesn't create very many cities or make them very large. Did get a ton of small outlying camps poi's though.

JaWoodie's rwgmixer worked pretty good. Gave me lots of really large cities / 'towns' and they weren't spaced too far apart considering test ran an 8k map. Here's a pic of one done with JaWoodie's....(the other map created with Nexus rwgmixer wasn't worth posting.)

**Note** you have to go into the steam folder for 7d2d, create a 'mods' folder and drop Jawoodie's mod into it. I renamed his folder to BigCities and in it is the modinfo and a 'config' folder with the rwgmixer.xml inside it. Game detects it perfectly. This will change in A20.4 and the 'mods' folder will need to be in the user's 7d2d folder instead.
