## Purpose and preparation


Egosoft lists General Vash and Celludriel's web generator as WIP. It creates a random map and some required files. The old Heroku endpoint's current availability is unconfirmed.



## First exercise


1. If available, read the service's version requirements and options.
2. Choose a minimal map first; record a seed if the service offers one.
3. Keep output separate and inspect its file tree, manifest, references and dependencies.
4. Test a small map area with a new test start.
5. If unavailable, use a local workflow or edit map data manually rather than assuming undocumented options.



## Expected result


Expect generated data that still needs packaging and validation. Check shipyards, resources and connections separately.



## Checks and limits


This page explains workflow and limits; it does not claim a verified web-service run. See the [local Universe Generator](wiki:tool-universe-generator).
