7 Days To Die’s Navezgane map offers plenty of places to explore, but it’s a slow process until you get a set of adventuring wheels. Here’s everything you need to know to survive the apocalypse.
How to craft a vehicle and get a “free” bike
After completing Rekt’s 10 merchant missions, you can get a bike as a reward. This gives you nine extra storage slots, and a way to ride around the map faster without the need for fuel.
However, you can use resources to craft a mini bike by reading 20 vehicle magazines, 45 large motorcycle magazines, 70 magazines to craft a quad bike, and 100 gyroplane magazines.
When you read enough vehicle magazines to get your hands on advanced vehicles like four-wheelers, you’ve probably collected a lot of parts to make your own, and wheels are one of the rarest parts.

How to get wheels
Wheels are an important crafting component in building your own vehicle. You can obtain wheel parts in a variety of ways.
- These can be found randomly by looting or dismantling cars using the wrench tool
- Sometimes you can get them from merchants
- You can craft them at the workbench. (Each tire requires 3 Wrought Iron, 24 Waste Polymer, 2 Oil, 16 Coal, and 1 Acid.)
You can invest points in the Grease Monkey skill to start crafting vehicle parts that cost less material, but this is probably the best thing to invest in once you’ve established yourself in the world and acquired all the other necessities you need to survive.
