More curated map localizations, newer gameplay settings, Unturned servers, the Better Snare mod, and more!

Mod: Better Snare

The Better Snare mod by Berra, Kaze, and Suffix adds custom snares that can temporarily trap unsuspecting players when triggered! They automatically reset after use, and an optional version includes a UI that shows trapped players how long remains before they are freed.

This mod could be a great choice for servers looking to add more strategic (and plugin-free) ways for players to defend their bases.

Better Snare is available on the Steam Workshop

Curated Map Localizations

California 2 and Easter Island have received new localizations! Thanks to community contributions, Brazilian Portuguese is now supported on California 2, and Simplified Chinese is now supported on Easter Island!

New Gameplay Settings

As part of recent major updates, we’ve added several options for customizing gameplay rules and progression. These can be particularly useful on newer curated maps:

  • Bypass Building in Safezones: allows building within safezones, such as the Liberator. This is enabled by default in singleplayer.
  • Bypass No Building Zones: allows building in areas normally restricted by the map that aren’t safezones, such as cities and other points of interest on many curated maps.
  • Prevent Level Skill Overrides: allows traditional leveling and skill progression on maps that would otherwise disable them.

Community Spotlight: Top Unturned Servers

We’re always excited to see players creating tools that support the game’s community. One recent example is Top Unturned Servers, a server listing and discovery platform for Unturned.

Their website makes it easier for players to find active servers that match their interests, while giving server owners additional ways to showcase their communities. It even includes custom plugins and event creation tools for server owners.

If you’re searching for a new place to play, or looking for ways to help your server reach more players, it’s worth a look.
