Often, the simplest things are the most charming. The Animated Sushi Mod by Axodouble just adds one piece of sushi, with a satisfying eating animation. Exactly as advertised on the box.

Steam Scream Fest 2024

The Steam Scream Fest sale is currently live! Most bundles in the item store, as well as the Permanent Gold Upgrade DLC, are discounted (up to 50%!) until November 4th.

As a reminder, on November 5th—after the Steam Scream Fest ends—we're adjusting the Stockpile prices to be more consistent. This change was originally planned for November 1st, but has been pushed back due to the ongoing sale. For more information about those changes, you can find the original announcement in the 3.24.6.0 Update Notes.

ComboCrate 2024

Following last month's announcement, there's been over 150 submissions to the ComboCrate 2024 event! Submissions will close on December 1st, so be sure to get your items in before then.

We have seen a few submissions that haven't met our guidelines. (E.g., "ComboCrate" wasn't included in the title, but in some other location.) We've reached out to participants when we've seen this happen, but please make sure you are following the guidelines!

Even if you aren't participating, you can still view other people's submissions on the Steam Workshop!

Q&A


Q. How does item spawning work?
Each individual spawn point has a chance to spawn an item when the node is eligible to do so, as determined by the Spawn_Chance and Respawn_Time options. There are four notable difficulty settings that affect item spawn/despawn behavior. More information can be found on the "Gameplay Config" wiki page.

Unturned Wiki – Gameplay Config

Q. Sometimes, I can't hear the sound of doors or campfires.
Only 64 sounds can be heard at the same time. If there's a lot of sounds nearby, you won't be able to hear sounds with a lower priority. (Answered on our GitHub.)

Q. How do make my character right-handed and not the left?
Characters can be made right-handed (or left-handed) from the character customization menu. (Answered on our Steam Discussions.)

Q. What's salvageable after the last update?
Tons of new items can be broken down after the 3.24.6.0 Update! Key resources – such as Chemicals and Explosives – should be easier to acquire, and you can salvage less useful items like those pesky Iron Sights too. A player, JOSIAH5555, posted a helpful list of newly-salvageable items.

List of Salvageable Items, by JOSIAH5555 on Steam Discussions.

Q. Bring back the OG clouds please!
One of the main reasons for replacing the clouds was a technical one. By moving effects like the sun, moon, and cloud into the sky shader, players could benefit from configuring the draw distance as much as they want. You can find Nelson's full explanation, and his thoughts on changing clouds again in the future, on the subreddit. (Answered on r/Unturned.)

3.24.6.0 Update Notes

Gameplay Adjustments




Despite sparking controversy on the preview branch, we've removed the Maplestrike's grip attachment slot. We're curious to see whether this is a net positive for the meta once it's had a chance to play out, so please bear in mind we're open to feedback and nothing's set in stone.
  • Is there more variety in combat encounters, and is that more fun?
  • Can you Maplestrike Enjoyers out there maintain dominance?

A few other balance changes are detailed in the changelog. Of particular note, quality of life additions to the Coalition questlines on the Russia map, including the ability to requisition airplanes and helicopters after achieving Major Rank and finishing Pilot Andy's quests.

Halloween 2024




Alongside our traditional Halloween content, we'll have a new craftable mystery box - the Halloween Candy Bag - courtesy of Toothy Deerryte and friends! The event will run from October 20th through November 1st, during which time you can craft them from Menu > Survivors > Inventory > Crafting.

Trees and Skybox Ambience Removals


Two more controversial changes, sorry!

Although the speedtree models looked nicer than the old ones, they were overly detailed compared with the rest of the vanilla art style. We've decided to stop putting it off and remove them along with the tree models graphics option. Other reasons included:
  • Their trunk shape wasn't quite 1:1 with the old models, so whether a player was seen as in or out of cover was inconsistent depending on graphics settings.
  • They're much more performance intensive.
  • Curated maps released after 2018 haven't included speedtree models.

Some players changed up the lighting in a dramatic and cinematic way with the relatively niche "Use_Skybox_Ambience" option in a config file. Unfortunately, the differences were a double-edged sword because they limited level designers' ability to control the lighting, for example to experiment with pure-black nights. We've decided to remove the option, but similar lighting can still be configured in the level editor by matching ambient lighting to the sky color, so it's up to the creative vision of the level creator. Here's a post showcasing the difference with and without the option:

Skybox Ambience Comparison post by BoomViz on SDG Forum

Item Price Consistency


On November 5th we're going to be adjusting the Stockpile prices to all be consistent. For the past two years or so all new regular items have been a consistent $1.50 USD per item. This primarily affects older items, where pricing and bundle sizes were less consistent. For some items, this is an increase. While for others, it's a decrease. Please keep this in mind if you were considering any item purchases in the near future! Beyond this, we don't intend to mess with the base item price again.

EDIT: This was originally planned for November 1st, but has been pushed back to November 5th instead due to the ongoing Steam Scream Fest sale.

Calling all modders! – ComboCrate 2024 Workshop Event


We're quickly approaching the next couple of curated map releases! Since there's been much interest in accepting more community-contributed skins outside of new maps, we're looking to release a multi-contributor workshop box somewhere in-between. Tentatively, sometime between December and early-2025.

Craftable & Purchasable Boxes

We wanted to do something a bit different, which we're calling the ComboCrate 2024 Event.

For this event, we want to release two different Workshop boxes. One craftable (similar to the 10th Anniversary items), and one purchasable from the Stockpile item store.

Since only the purchasable box (and its equivalent bundle) would offer a revenue split, creators should include a minimum of two items as part of each submission – that's one for each box!

Guidelines

We’re looking to accept 14–18 items per box. These items should be uploaded to the Steam Workshop, and follow our Submission Guidelines & Requirements.

View the Submission Guidelines & Requirements

Submissions must also do the following:
  • Include “ComboCrate 2024” or “ComboCrate” in the title, e.g., “Awesome Top Hats [ComboCrate 2024]“.
  • Each submission must include at least two items. These can be in the same Workshop upload or as separate uploads. If separate, please link them (e.g., in a Collection or the description) and ensure the same authors/contributors are listed.

We're planning to accept a variety of item skins and cosmetics. Item skins with custom models are allowed. We are not accepting any mythical effects or vehicles skins for this event.

Refer to the FAQ below for more information.

FAQ
Q. When’s the deadline for submissions?
Currently: the deadline is December 1st. We may extend this due to the tentative release date for the boxes.

Q. How do I create a skin or cosmetic?
You can check our official documentation below the guidelines/requirements we've linked to earlier! There's also many helpful community-made tutorials, but some of those may be outdated.

Q. Will you accept older submissions?
We will consider older submissions if they've been updated to match the event guidelines. That means including "[ComboCrate 2024]" in the title, and submitting at least two items. They should also follow the latest guidelines/requirements outlined in our documentation!

Q. Can I submit more than two items?
Yes! For example, you might submit three different items, or even an entire outfit. We'll choose which of the items to accept.

Q. Are you accepting more than 2 items from the same author(s)?
We'd like to accept items from a variety of creators. However – we may consider additional options depending on the number and quality of valid submissions, along with factors such as items that have multiple contributors.

Q. What happens if my submission(s) have multiple authors?
This isn't an issue, so long as there's at least 2 items we can accept (meaning – those items have the same authors listed). The Curated Items documentation has more information about how multiple contributors affects revenue share.

Q. Do my items have to be related/similar?
Your submissions do not need to be similar (but can be)! For example, your items could be a fancy hat and an Eaglefire skin. Or it could be two skins that share the same pattern. We will decide which box each item is placed in.

Q. Will boxes require a key?
No. Both boxes can be immediately opened. Similar to other purchasable boxes, the purchasable ComboCrate 2024 Event box will also have an equivalent bundle that contains all of the items within its box.

Q. What happens if my items are not accepted?
Even if your items are not accepted as part of this event, they could still be accepted for a different update in the future!

3.24.5.1 Patch Notes

Changelog


Added
  • "% Full" optional column for server browser.
  • New default server list sort using mix of ping, fullness, and player count.
  • Death barriers in PEI harbor foundation and Seattle bridge ramps.
Changed
  • Clarify wording of online safety toggles current value.
  • Online safety menu can be shown again using new toggle at bottom of Options menu.
  • Raise default server filter max ping from 200 to 300 ms and turned off for non-Internet defaults.

Default Server List Sort


Previously, servers were sorted from lowest to highest ping by default. Many of the lowest ping servers were near empty, however, so you'd need to click the Players column if you wanted to find busy communities. With this update the default sort now considers a mix of ping, player count, and how full the server is to put popular servers with a good connection at the top of the list.

3.24.5.0 Update Notes

Hello!

Vehicle Improvements



Bicycles, dirtbikes, and snowmobiles have received upgrades to physics handling and their visuals, similar to those received by 4+ wheelers in the Carr Update! They're still somewhat janky, but it should be a step in the right direction.

Quality of Life


  • Volume sliders for each type of audio replacing the on / off toggles!
  • Rather than typing in a map's name in the server browser you can now pick which ones you want from a sub-menu, and filter for multiple maps at once!
  • Expand and collapse the server browser quick filters panel to choose which filters you want shown! The full suite of filters is always accessible from the presets editor.


Online Safety




A reminder about online safety and quick access to several important settings is now shown before opening any of the multiplayer menus. Links to third-party sites are redirected through the Steam community link filter, and links to join Discord servers other than our official Discord server for Unturned are hidden in-game, but can still be linked from external pages.

These changes are intended both to increase safety for younger players, and to improve the first-time player experience. If you've had an unsafe experience as a minor we'd strongly encourage you to speak with a trusted adult like a parent, guardian, or teacher.

We'd like to take this opportunity to reinforce the importance of practicing online safety. You should never give out personal information like your password, address, phone number, age, or full name to people online. Considering that many gaming communities are hosted on Discord, you should be aware that they have their own rules for promoting safe and healthy environments, and inappropriate behavior can be reported to Discord's Trust & Safety team. Discord is in the best position to help with those reports. Here are some relevant resources:

How to Report Discord Messages and Users Discord Community Guidelines Discord Safety & Privacy

Although we cannot directly help with inappropriate behavior outside of our official communities, if you feel there's something we should know or be aware of please contact us through our help center:
