[DGD] Best method to make a wilderness map

[Shentino]

Have you tried lazy room creation?

Don't create it until someone enters?

Also, maybe try deleting rooms that don't need to exist anymore, like
empty ones.

As long as you have enough "seeding" information of a sort to know how
to recreate the same room in the same way on demand, players won't
know that the rooms are being JIT in.
