Behind the Scenes

Hey, everyone! There's only one week left to pick up the SDGNelson Plushie from Makeship. We've almost reached the order funding threshold - thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign so far! The plush is only available for a limited time, so make sure to get yours before the campaign ends: View SDGNelson Plush on Makeship With your own genetic* clone of Unturned's developer (Nelson), you'll have unprecedented access to request features, report bugs, and ask your burning questions about the lore**. *It's yet unconfirmed whether the original Nelson is composed of polypropylene cotton and ultra-soft fleece. This is almost certainly a marketing gimmick. **Plushie is incapable of responding or acting on these inquiries. But hey, don't let that stop you from asking away!

New SDGNelson Plush

Recent Major Update: A Carr Update

Ahoy there me hearty! What, why is this update vaguely pirate-themed? Because it's fun to say "car" with an extra 'r', that's why! I left my offroader parked in the Pirate Cove for 5 minutes and some scallywag vandalized it with magenta paint. As a navy man, that is, a man who likes the color navy (not to be confused with a pirate's enemy, the navy), it was a clear choice how to restore ol' reliable:
Oh right, the update! Well, vehicles with 4+ wheels - like cars and trucks - should behave a fair bit more reasonably now! With new suspension and a somewhat more realistic engine system they handle much better, though this is hard to show with a picture so here's me kicking up sand on the beach:
It's hopefully worth giving them a try in-game! Note, however, that two-wheeler vehicles like bikes and snowmobiles are still rather questionable (to say the least) and haven't been addressed by this update yet.
Can you spot a green-skinned player in this screenshot? If you can, you may need to get your eyes checked because I took the screenshot in singleplayer mode. That said, it can be challenging to spot players online whose skin color perfectly matches the terrain. In an experment to protect against this, we're requiring players' skin color not to be too similar to the terrain before they join a PEI, Washington, or Russia server. o7 to our O.G. double-R Unturned pirate, yarrrr! (He's not dead or anything, I just felt he deserved acknowledgement considering the piracy here.)

TL;DR: Weve moved the official Unturned Wiki to wiki.gg! Tell us what you think on our Forum, and consider getting the wiki.gg Redirect browser extension! Hey, players! A few years ago, we moved our official wiki to our own website in order to provide a better experience to both readers and volunteer editors. Its important to us that we are always looking to provide a better, higher-quality, and more comprehensive game wiki for Unturned. Were going on nearly 10 years worth of updates now (wow!), with even more to come. With this in mind, weve partnered with the people at wiki.gg a platform built by experienced developers and editors to create the best experience for gamers looking for information to host the official Unturned Wiki.
You can now find the official Unturned Wiki at unturned.wiki.gg! Discuss the migration on our Forum.

What does this mean?

• The wiki is more focused on Unturned rather than "Smartly Dressed Games"! No more confusing categories, page names, logos, etc.
• Switch between light and dark themes that are more closely inspired by the game and some of our other sites.
• If you're coming from the FANDOM site, ads are significantly less intrusive, and are only for other games! For an ad-free experience, create an account.
• Browse from your mobile device we've made several changes to make mobile viewing a better experience, including to the main page.
• New editors have more information about getting started! You can also join the wiki.gg Discord server for help.
• Use the wiki.gg Redirect browser extension (for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge) to be automatically redirected to the new site.

My apologies to everyone inadvertently killed by the change in the 3.23.11.0 update! The problem was that some of the volumes in the boulders were spheres and capsules which can't be non-uniformly scaled. Unfortunately this didn't come up in testing because on vanilla maps the boulders were always uniformly scaled, whereas on many custom maps boulders are scaled on a single axis to better fit a surface or for visual variety. (which is perfectly reasonable, my bad for not thinking about this side effect) Fixed

• Reverted addition of kill volumes inside some vanilla boulders.

Changed

• Show message when trying to join WAN address without Internet available.

A large island of small mountain towns, secrets, and spooks. The Turned are tough and certain animals don't like it when you get too close. A mix of Russia, PEI, and Arid, but with its own unique twist on many aspects of gameplay. The island contains multiple forest biomes, no military presence, and rare to find guns and supplies. Buak is heavily aimed towards singleplayer, co-op, and PVE playstyles and contains over 2,000 items to discover and use. Some of these are items that redefine the conventional vanilla systems of building with extra room to decorate, and much more. Theres a blueprint system, learn item recipes permanently to be able to craft them in the future! Buak takes inspiration from Unturned Classic (2.0), the many scrapped ideas and designs of 3.0, as well as the concepts of Unturned II (4.0). A lot of conventional things in Vanilla Unturned may have been abandoned on Buak, from freeform buildables to building on vehicles; You'll have to seek out the alternatives provided. All items, animals, resources, and objects are also entirely custom and may not work as intended when mixed with other mods/maps. Some suggestions for gameplay: The map is best played without any other mods and in Normal mode or above, as Easy mode removes many mechanics. [previewyoutube=0_v8JMJtITk;full][/previewyoutube] Watch the Buak Trailer Here Note: Buak is significantly more dense with detail than prior curated maps. Instead of compromising on this detail level, the Level Batching Update earlier this year was originally developed to help optimize Buak. That being said, lowering the max draw distance and landmarks when playing Buak will raise the performance quite a bit because the game can then cull more details. To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (3000549606) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to "Buak" (without quotes) in Commands.dat.

For the first time rather than playtime drops, you can craft a random new limited item from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting. The items are permanent, but the ability to craft them will only be available for two weeks during the release event.

Antarctica- the newest map by Renaxon, danaby2, Animatic, clue and Timo987, has released. ... The final frontier in terms of tough, legitimately survival based mechanics is ready to be explored and conquered. Featuring every single item in the game, every single crafting recipe, and all the hardcore classic methods of survival you've come to love. A seriously harsh, desolate, and uncharacteristically detailed landmass, Antarctica is an Insane sized map- 4x bigger than the Russia map, and 16x bigger than the Yukon. Included in Antarctica, is the most detailed depiction of wilderness Unturned has ever seen. You'll want to watch your back for packs of this fierce land's defenders. Also included, is a revised radiation and immunity system. Due to a severely changed world, the air on Antarctica is toxic. Maybe a smarter survivor out there could help find a cure... Now, stop reading, and get going. It can't explore itself.

Patch #1:

• Firstly, the 2020 LTS beta was accidentally set live rather than the actual update. The reason this happened is that my automatic release process was using the newest upload rather than the upload from the preview branch. In order to ensure this never happens again the automatic release will now specifically use the preview branch version rather than the newest version, and a confirmation dialog to double-check.
• Secondly, players were getting kicked for exceeding rate limits when equipping a kit. This highlighted a flaw in the equipment system from back when integrity checks were first added to equipped items. For the meantime I have increased the equipment rate limits significantly as a temporary workaround, but for the next major update I will properly resolve this flaw. If you experience other incorrect rate limit kicks please let me know and I will get them fixed, and as a temporary measure it is also possible to raise the Rate_Limit_Kick_Threshold in Config.json.

Details:

Unity 2020 Preview:

Changelog:

PEI Loading Screen Music:

Terrain Holes:

Miscellaneous:

Changelog:

• Climb interaction on ladder to snap without jumping.
• Graphics option for maximum draw distance.
• Options menus are available in the level editor.
• Quit to desktop buttons.
• NPC reward to override player spawnpoint.

• Zoom factors use preferred field of view.
• Invert water mask while camera is underwater.
• Updated Unity from 2019.4.37f1 to 2019.4.38f1.

• Disabled specular on vanilla static materials.
• Not applying conditions/rewards on quest and vendor dialogue responses.

Ladders:

Max Draw Distance Option:

Miscellaneous:

Changelog:

• Mask when camera near clip plane intersects water.
• PvP damage penalty when client is potentially faking lag. (e.g. "lag switch")

• Various minor gameplay balance adjustments. (detailed below)
• Render sky fog before transparent objects. Water transparency renders sky fog in forward pass.
• Updated Unity from 2019.4.35f1 to 2019.4.37f1.
• Converted hardcoded Anastasia door to text chat component + IOBS component.

• Warning when item blueprints have identical conditions.
• Leftover holiday chicken on Liberator. [Thanks danaby2]
• Capturing satellite image when assets are missing from level.
• Singleplayer pause menu also pauses audio globally. [Thanks Toothy Deerryte]

Balance Improvements:

• Recoil on the Maplestrike has been decreased by 5%, and the recoil control buff from Sharpshooter has been changed from 50% to 95%.
• Draw distance has been further reduced down to 256m. Inflation of map sizes in open-world AAA games make it harder for us to compete, so the extremely exaggerated fog in Unturned at least makes the map FEEL bigger.
• Green skin color hues have been removed from the Permanent Gold Upgrade. They made it too easy to blend into grassy maps like Kuwait and Arid. Instead, they are now a complimentary benefit of the new subscription-based Platinum Upgrade DLC. Locking them behind a more expensive paywall makes them rarer, and thus more balanced.
• Helicopter audio volume has been increased by 220% to better convey how intimidating it should feel to see a helicopter flying toward your base. The deafening volume for passengers helps balance out how useful they are.
• It was unfair for zombies to use navmesh pathfinding when animals cannot, so zombie AI has been replaced by animal AI. Use of flares and other zombie-attracting items is encouraged to help them get unstuck from corners.
• Devkit was overpowered because it had features missing from the regular editor, so two new level editors "modKit" and "BoxEd" have been added which combine some features and remove others, evening the playing field for beginners to the modding scene. Editing mods without re-uploading to the workshop first is no longer supported.

Underwater Mask:

Fake Lag Threshold:

Changelog:

• "Disable" option for weather command which cancels active weather and future scheduled weather. Useful for maps like Yukon which otherwise immediately start different weather when cancelled.
• Editor setting to disable clouds on a map. [Has_Clouds in level asset]
• Button to open file explorer in workshop item's install folder.
• Button to open Logs folder from errors window.

• Save preferred in-game player list sort mode.
• Increased level editor far clip plane distance back to 4,096m.
• Sky transition fog only starts blending in past 75% of the far clip plane. This feels less foggy than the previous update, and helps hide issues with transparency.
• Using weather command with currently active weather guid will reschedule rather than toggling.
• Gentle snowfall no longer overrides sky fog.

• Planar reflection skybox projection matrix.
• Hide holiday-restricted props from satellite capture.
• With streamer mode enabled show in-game player list using redacted names.

Changelog:

• In-game option to sort player list alphabetically or by group.
• Transition fog near edge of maximum render distance.
• New clouds and aurora borealis rendered in skybox.

• Added more trashbags to the fall-cushioning blue trashbag areas under the Seattle, Washington crane, and adjusted their positioning. The changes to mid-air strafing made these more difficult to land on, and they could be difficult to see from atop the crane while in first-person. These changes make the landing easier to see and achieve.
• Adjusted the car parkour at Rainbridge Island, Washington to be more forgiving. The changes to mid-air strafing made it more difficult to traverse. It should now be easier to climb down without breaking bones, and easier to climb up without getting stuck.
• Added wild animal spawns in the wilderness near Chersky Farm, Russia.
• Added item spawns to the upper floor of the Kivgrad Harbor, Russia office building.
• Added item spawns to the interior rooms (and outdoor picnic table) of the ship docked at Kivgrad Harbor, Russia.

• Floating or misaligned objects in Stratford, PEI.
• Floating snow around the Yukon road tunnel.
• Bugged zombie spawn point in the Ibex Valley, Yukon where the zombie would immediately fall through the world once alerted.
• Usage of various deprecated item properties.
• Skybox tree backface depth pass on forward rendering.
• Not returning attached effects to pool after parent was deactivated.

Draw Distance:

• Culling is one of the main CPU bottlenecks, and takes less time thanks to the early rejection.
• On first impression the old mesh clouds were often mistaken for flying boulders. The new clouds are a bit flat, but look less like rocks, and might be upgraded to 3D/volume textures in the future.
• Skybox reflections on metallic objects include clouds, stars, moon, etc.
• Sky transition fog makes the level feel bigger because it cannot all be seen at once, and is visually impressive / fun / colorful on many maps.
• Improved depth precision within the actual level reduces Z-fighting.
• The improved depth precision should allow a future update to merge the first person and third person models, which will make lighting and animations more consistent between both.

Patch #1:

• Cloud ambient lighting flash while rendering item thumbnails.
• Lowered airdrop plane height from so they are less obscured by the reduced draw distance.

Changelog:

• "DefaultGoodbyeResponse" per-level override for NPC dialogue in level's translation file.

• Support for deprecated *.content files. Reduces loading overhead.
• Support for useless devkit asset browser. Reduces loading overhead.

• Improved parsing speed of .dat files by reducing redundant work.
• Improved sun, stars, and moon rendering, allowing increased near depth precision.
• Cannot purchase vehicles in bulk from NPCs, and minimum five second cooldown between vehicle purchases per-player.
• Renamed Silver augewehr skin to Silvered to avoid confusion with Silver trophy skins.
• Sort in-game player list by name rather than by group ID.

• Pump jack placement on grass accidentally disabled during physics material rewrite.
• Able to plant seeds on top of each other after physics material rewrite. [Thanks WWTC]
• Trap and vehicle bumper player/zombie/animal impact sounds missing after physics material rewrite.
• Sirens missing from editor-placeable police boat.
• Crouch to prone event passing through standing stance.
• Performance with many group compass markers.
• Performance of in-game player list with many players.
• Road editor material checkbox out of view.
• Server not immediately closing rejected connections. [Thanks D-AIRY]

Multiple HWIDs Change:

Arid, the new map from Renaxon, danaby2, and Dug, features a complete overhaul of the game's style and gameplay. Featuring multiple tiers of deadzones and over 800 new items, with unique bartering, looting, and crafting systems that will make you rethink the way you play Unturned. A gasmask isn't the only key to progression on this map, you will require numerous keys hidden around as well as a full biohazard suit and NVGs to unlock the full potential of the deadzones. (Powerful firearms, tough armor, hardened base materials) NPC quests will allow you to unlock blueprints for unique items and open the door to a wide range of new shops and barters. Barters are also a new way to get good items, allowing you to exchange junk in exchange for something more exciting. Zombies won't be the only threat to your existence, watch out for military grade explosives left over by armed forces (and brick-wielding nakeds). The map's layout is barren and fierce but worry not, the Bus Driver can take you anywhere out of the kindness of his own heart! Don't forget to thank him though. Weapons and protective equipment will have important information within their descriptions, so make sure to pay attention to those! Especially to the ammunition and sights which specific types of guns accept. To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2683620106) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Arid in Commands.dat. This project was created by Renaxon, danaby2, and Dug.

• FallDamageOverride, TimerEventHook, and ActivationEventHook for mods. More information was posted to the documentation site.
• Validate_EconInfo_Hash and Validate_MasterBundle_Hashes settings in server config. These control the hashing changes explained below.

• Server verifies hashes of all loaded master bundles during connection. This prevents clients from connecting with out-of-date or modified master bundles, but can be disabled with the Validate_MasterBundle_Hashes setting.

• Embedded YouTube videos are now removed from the in-game text so they can be used in announcements.

• Magazine reload speed modifier applying to detach rather than attach.

• Harvested bushes being invisible until respawning when returning to an area.
• Minimum time between sentry gun shots fired. Certain guns were firing one shot per frame.
• Pressing UI hotkeys on the same frame. (e.g. crafting and attachments menu)

Elver:

Elver provides a unique experience not just through a fictional setting, but also by changing the way the game is played. Survivors must scavenge the entire map to construct horde beacons and gas masks for a chance at the highest tier equipment, or sell gear at the NPC safezone in exchange for currency to buy it. The only lootable location on the map, the city of Elver, is surrounded by a dense forest dedicated for base building. Zombies are a threat across the entire city. Keep an eye out for any TVs with static: they mark the presence of hidden ranger crates containing unique weapons and items. To host a server running the map add its workshop file ID (2136497468) to the File_IDs list in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json, and set the map to Elver in Commands.dat. This project was created by danaby2 and Renaxon. If you enjoy the map and would like to support them, consider checking out the Elver Mystery Box or Elver Bundle on the Stockpile:

Recent Events:

France:

Maps:

• When searching for a particular map, the server list will only show servers running the same version as you have installed. The map filter has also been replaced with a text map name filter which allows searching for maps not installed locally. If a local map is detected (by prefix) the search will use that full name.
• Improvements to how curated maps are featured in-game. Rio's release was not as clearly communicated, so the map has been re-featured.
• Workshop maps feedback button links to discussion board.

Hosting:

• Dedicated server monitors for updates while hosting a workshop map. By default the server will notify players that it is shutting down for an update, but this can be configured in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json or overridden by plugins.
• Auto workshop downloads now try to use cached installs aggressively. Steam does cache auto-installed items for a period, but still prefers to re-download them. Now the game looks for the "Needs Update" flag, and if not detected, will skip re-downloading. The goal here is to improve join times for servers with large numbers of auto-download content, but if problematic, subscribing will keep the content up-to-date.
• Threaded console is now the default, but the older console can be enabled with -LegacyConsole command-line flag. This may conflict with Rocketmod's console on Linux until updated, however the hope is to improve vanilla dedicated server support.

Plugins:

• Hashed player hardware ID is available server-side for use banning. Cheaters will obviously use fake HWIDs, but it's another tool in the administrative tool belt.
• Server relay can immediately redirect. If there is a negative player response to this feature it will be adjusted or disabled.

Modding:

• Made Mannequins moddable and exported an example package.
• Guns with fire delay can include "FireDelay" sound played at input.
• Slot type "Any" for useables that can be equipped in primary, secondary, or inventory.
• Can_Aim_During_Sprint option for guns.
• Allow_Magazine_Change gun option similar to Hook_X options.
• Should_Fill_After_Detach option for magazines. This effectively provides infinite ammo, with the trade-off of choosing the time to reload.
• Visible_On_Ragdoll option for large clothes.

Fixes:

• Vehicles now respawn up to max instances when multiple are destroyed simultaneously.
• Disconnect if server workshop usage does not match advertised usage.
• Fixed potential exploit destroying holiday / timed objects.

Curated Map | Rio de Janeiro:

Curated Maps:

• Creators have full control over their article and can patch / update the map without waiting for me to release a main game update. This was one of the reasons for adding per-map version numbers.
• Maps will not get moved to the workshop after an arbitrary period.
• If you're not interested in the map you can click the "Dismiss" button in the top-right to hide it and return to the trending workshop items. Note that the curated articles are shown for a specific number of days before going back to the default.

• Added gameplay config option to retain primary/secondary equipment after death.
• Scam or inappropriate servers can now be blacklisted by regex.

Welcome to Belgium! | NEW Curated Map:

Change Notes:

• Added Belgium to curated maps list until May 5th.
• Added Belgian Infantry, Lil' EBR and Acid Trooper item bundles to Stockpile.

• Tweaked unity logs to be written to UnityDebug_*.log in logs folder rather than appdata so that they are easier to find.

• Fixed horrible voice audio when using walkie talkie after relay change. Was caused by code using Stop() rather than Pause()! Sigh.
• Fixed some issues registering installed workshop content while Steam is in offline mode.
• Fixed Retrowave skins emission, and fixed accept process not enabling _EMISSION keyword.
• Fixed Hawaii Red Scrounger missing collision on rear half.

Change Notes:

• Added ability to craft random mythical skins.
• Accepted several limited-time skins to the Stockpile.
• Added Child_Explosion_Armor_Multiplier to vehicle assets and server vehicle config. When an explosion is obstructed by buildables attached to a vehicle, the damage is multiplied by these values. Prior to this update the equivelant value was 0%. Now the default for individual vehicles is 20% (0.2) and 100% (1) in server config, so an explosion blocked by armor plating on a vehicle will deal 20% of the explosion damage to the vehicle itself.
• Added onDamageTireRequested event.
• Added CollisionEventHook to ModHooks.

• Improved voice data to be relayed through server. More details below.
• Improved Stockpile Bundles to show preview images of all contained items.

• Tweaked menu warning to show missing vehicle and buildable.

• Fixed connecting to IPs with whitespace in front/back.
• Fixed crediting player stats for explosive kills.
• Fixed ragdoll effects attached to rocket launchers.
• Fixed rockets going the wrong direction in multiplayer when aiming at rubble.

Mythic Crafting:

• Skin is randomly selected from all weapon skins including drops, crates, and stockpile items, but excluding unique trophy skins. This means you can get skins that have never had mythical versions before. Chance / weighting of each item are equal.
• Mythic effect is selected from weapon-compatible set, and all effects have an equal chance of being selected. Technically these are different from the "Mythic" tag because they use a newer Steam feature, so they show as "Particle" tags in the inventory.
• Crafting requires x1,000 salvaged materials. This is an insane amount, and might be tweaked in the future. Some of the goals of mythic crafting are to improve the long-term value of your items, keep existing mythics valuable, and incentive sinking large quantities of items out of the economy, so it had to be a large amount. One factor is that inevitably bots will buy up all the 3 cent items for ~$30 per crafted mythic.

Voice Relay:

Greece:

Additions:

• Added Fuel_Burn_Rate option. (units per second)

Gun Jamming:

TL;DR Workshop items will need some time to update, but the game should be more stable.

Explanation:

• Taking advantage of newer optimizations in the engine.
• Removing workarounds for old unity bugs which will help improve performance.
• Supporting the Metal graphics API for Macs now that Apple has deprecated OpenGL.
• Fixing many longstanding issues and crashes, and continuing to get the LTS fixes going forward.

Workshop Devs:

3.28.0.1 Patch:

2018 Festivities:

Raiding Balance Pass:

• Horde beacons were an incredibly effective source of endgame items for large groups, but now have diminishing returns. By requiring a detonator, detonators now have an economy sink.
• Machine guns that damaged bases with low caliber ammunition were too powerful, and in general damage against bases is lower.
• Metal elements are significantly more worthwhile to build, while charges still feel effective against wooden bases. Requiring multiple charges to destroy a single wooden wall felt frustrating, but that may be adjusted later.
• By reducing the availability of raiding equipment the default base armor multipliers hopefully can stay similar, but if needed the default values will be further tuned.

Patch Notes:

• Accepted several new time-limited skins to the stockpile from the curated workshop.
• Added separate low and high-tier armor multipliers for buildables. Metal and bricks qualify as high-tier, and now have 2x effective health.
• Added freeform glass plates craftable from glass windows. [IDs 892-894]
• Added support for explanation message to server shutdown notice.
• Added compatibility warnings for future workshop items using 2017.4 LTS.
• Added weak grenade throw to secondary attack, and Strong_Throw_Force [1100], Weak_Throw_Force [600] and Boost_Throw_Force_Multiplier [1.4] to per-throwable configs. Previous throw force was 750 with a 2x boost multiplier.

• Tweaked Nykorev, Hell's Fury and Dragonfang to only take highcal ammo, and their buildable damage slightly lower.
• Tweaked Ekho, Matamorez, Grizzly and Timberwolf buildable damage slightly lower.
• Tweaked horde beacon drops to scale by the square root of number of participants, rather than linearly. For example 2 players get ~1.41x, 3 players get ~1.73x.
• Tweaked horde beacon blueprint to require sacrificing a detonator.
• Tweaked to require text confirmation when salvaging items unless CTRL is held. Previously only Mythical items required confirmation.
• Tweaked rich text chat to not fade out.
• Disabled movement clamps in editor.
• Defaulted workshop server filter to on.

• Fixed checking buildables you were already overlapping when mounting ladder.
• Fixed climbing on explosive charges.
