3.25.6.0 Update Notes

by SDGNelson

Summary Thank you to everyone who shared feedback on workstations and the new crafting menu so far! This update aims to address many of the suggestions and feedback we have received. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/e94b481bbe99d45325de310e763a207821c362aa.png By very popular request: you can now enable Click Blueprint to Craft to always skip the details panel. This inverts the Skip Crafting Menu (Shift) hotkey to instead show the details panel. Filtering should better match expectations (hopefully!), and the button for ignoring blueprints can cycle to a Favorited state for anything you use frequently. Please continue to let us know what you'd like to see improved! Changelog Crafting Menu Functionality Added "Click to Craft Blueprint" option, similar to old crafting menu behavior. Added per-blueprint Favoriting option in the crafting menu details panel. Click the button below "Craft" to cycle between Default, Ignored (hide from blueprints list), and Favorited (starred, visible in favorites l...

Workstations Update - 3.25.5.0 Update Notes

by SDGNelson

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/4336131471409530907b05546597667338aba274.png This update introduces workstations! Workstations are a major change to crafting and progression. In order to craft most items, you will need to be near a workstation. Many recipes have been updated to require a workstation, although we've also tweaked a few recipes to be slightly more (or less) difficult to craft – requiring a certain skill or needing different ingredients than before. Workstations {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/df40a99401eb5e1177a47a0857ab6e44822c429b.png We've made most of these changes based on survey and preview branch feedback. As this update releases, we're curious to hear your thoughts so that we can make further adjustments. For any players who don't want workstations: you can easily disable them with the “Enable Workstation Requirements” difficulty setting. EDIT: Along with disabling Workstation requirements, players also have the option to skip the new "Details" menu with Left Shift by defau...

Workstations arrive in our next game update. Until then – grab your umbrella, and enjoy some community-made mods, screenshots, and more! Introducing Workstations Our next major update for Unturned is introducing workstations. As we're approaching this update's release, we want to share more information about how they work and why we're making this change to item crafting. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/543e593be4690c9487862adc59bfc20bdd2572d4.png These new workstations were modelled by Dogfood. You may know them as the experienced modder behind content like the More Farming Mod! When we reached out to them about collaborating, helping us with this update was at the top of our list. Crafting has always been quite simple, but we know players are interested in some additional depth. Workstations introduce another progression step and encourage building a base. This was also a good opportunity for us to make several improvements to the Crafting UI. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/0ca655b402f548a473...

Postcard from Rio de Janeiro

by MoltonMontro

Dear Nelson, I wasn't sure what you meant by "take a vacation to someplace south of Canada". But, I did find a helpful brochure left at my door, and immediately booked my trip! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/68c298932aa5cb8479344795ecb3907dd7085eca.png Hello, from Rio de Janeiro! I must admit – the place looks quite different than I remember. Everything seems a lot bigger, and there's so many places to visit! Though, the brochure did say there was a "plethora of new and remastered experiences to enjoy". {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/76b310a3652ff69381c4e933ea51fad866c9dc33.png Given the short notice, I was a bit concerned about finding a hotel! Fortunately, I think I can get a room at the Copacabana Plaza by the end of the day. For now, I'm writing to you from the famously sunny beach of Ipanema, as I listen to some classic bossa nova and enjoy this feijoada. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/b107044b3d73871f3750f3737d46d97347c1810e.png Have you seen these iconic cable cars?

Now, you can spin yourself dizzy, and they should be much more adept at crossing uneven terrain! Trees {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/704f188feecdc39b13c763f9ee29466dfdbac243.png New tree models (version 3?) balancing the older vanilla art style with the (recently-removed) SpeedTree models.

Reminders about ComboCrate 2024, the Steam Scream Fest sale, and showcasing a variety of community-created content. Video: "I made Unturned 10X harder!" Is Unturned too easy? Watch as Max Winterfield cranks up the difficulty to make zombies stronger, bosses more frequent, loot harder to come by, and more in his struggle to survive.

Gameplay Adjustments {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6119952/3e32e853a2eca96022882eb4cb986c4c2e980a21.png 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.
