MTN visits a random Escalation server, eager to make friends—or at least secure a new fishing partner. Will he find what he’s looking for?

The Tales of Terror mod, by Spyjack.
Even as Halloween passes, one cannot escape the horrors of Spyjack’s Tales of Terror! Experience the In The Fading Moonlight expansion alone or with friends. With smoother gameplay and a dynamic difficulty system, it’s the perfect time to return to this roguelite, dungeon-crawling experience by Spyjack.

The Five Nights at Nelson’s mod, by Prostate and biedaktokox.
Can you survive (at least) five nights at Nelson’s?

This mod by biedaktokox and Prostate is a faithful parody of a familiar, pizzeria-featuring horror game. You will need to watch the cameras, close those doors, and manage your power usage in order to survive until 6:00 a.m.


In case you missed it: we recently removed the “SpeedTrees” graphical setting. This offered higher fidelity trees, but came with a number of issues that we touched on in the 3.24.6.0 Update Notes.

As part of this change, we are planning to replace all of the vanilla “legacy” tree models. You may have seen some older (and now outdated) revisions teased on our Forum. Updated tree models are planned to release in an upcoming update.

Once the trees have been sorted out, we look forward to running another Screenshot Contest!

Q. Why are there red numbers everywhere in the level editor?
There’s a few reasons this could happen. 1) You might have toggled the visibility of Manual Object Culling volumes, which also displays the number of culled objects. 2) You might be in the Visibility tab; red numbers represent very object dense areas that could cause performance issues. (Answered on our Steam Discussions.)

Q. How can I add custom spawn tables to preexisting maps?
This is a fairly straightforward mod to create nowadays! You can create a custom SpawnAsset—similar to how someone might do so for their map—and then add the GUID of a map’s preexisting spawn table as a root. For example, adding 424d1cd228a4493890f3d7f101612447 as a root would add items from your custom spawn table to the preexisting Vehicle_Spraypaints spawn table.

Q. Is there a way I can view all GUIDs (or legacy IDs) when other peoples’ guides aren’t updated?
You can generate a spreadsheet of all GUIDs from the Workshop menu screens, by pressing F1 and choosing “Export Asset IDs”. This includes modded content!

Q. Can I increase the vehicle spawn limit?
This spawn limit is determined by the map’s size, and can be configured just like any other difficulty option! For example, the Max_Instances_Large setting affects Large-size maps such as Russia, Germany, and Hawaii. More information can be found on the “Gameplay Config” wiki page.

Q. How do Redirector Assets work?
When the game looks up an asset by GUID (or legacy ID), it will instead return the target asset configured in the Redirector. This is useful for maintaining backwards compatibility, e.g. if you’ve removed an item from your mod. This feature has official documentation. (Answered on our Forum.)

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.

Item Store Permanent Gold Upgrade DLC 3.24.6.0 Update Notes


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. 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.)

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.





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.



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



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.

[h2]Escalation: Midnight Update[/h2]


The Midnight Program created a robot—which survivors have dubbed D.A.V.E. (Defensive Autonomous Vehicular Emplacement)—an experimental AI-piloted tank. Its AI has gone haywire, and it will attack any survivors or zombies that enter its line of sight. However: if defeated, it will drop plenty of good loot.

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.


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!


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.

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!

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.
