Celebrating the Lunar New Year, featuring FouN’s “Yukon Remastered” mod, highlighting custom server filters, and more. The Community Blog returns for 2025!


Take a trip through some funny moments in this new video by DizzyD.

We're excited to announce several upcoming changes to the curated map program. Any change here is obviously going to be substantial – and is subject to change – so we wanted to lay out some of our plans early on.

This announcement is too long to include here. To learn about our current plan, tentative ideas, and other information:

The Yukon Remastered mod by FouN.

The Yukon Remastered mod by FouN is an impressive map redesign and rebalance of the vanilla Yukon map, with a plan to eventually add NPC and quest content as well. They shared some insight into why they created the map, below:

Hey everyone!

Not so long ago, I released my map Yukon Remastered, which as the name implies it is a remaster of Yukon. I decided to remaster the map since a lot of the other official ones have already been remastered [by other players]. I feel like Yukon was always the overlooked map, so I wanted to give players a reason to come back to this map. I remade all of the locations with much more detail, added some NPCs and quests, as well as added a few more locations to be on par with the much more recent maps.

For me, Yukon holds a special place in my heart since it was always a survival map, and I love survival games. Nowadays, Unturned is mostly about PvP and RP, but when it first released it was all about survival, which I miss to an extent. I would recommend the map to anyone who wants to experience something different from the typical Unturned.

Did you miss this new feature? Players can create and share their own server list filters with other players. Label servers that you recommend, or only show servers belonging to your server network!

Some players have already created lists that label servers based on their content, follow certain guidelines, or are hosted in a specific region like China.

Find more Server Lists on the Steam Workshop, or learn to create your own with our official documentation.

Q. How can I reuse vanilla audio that isn't in the ExampleAssets for my mod?
Some assets have properties for assigning an AudioClip to certain interactions, such as when placing a structure. These use the Master Bundle Pointer data type. By including core.masterbundle as part of the property's value, you can reference vanilla AudioClips. For example: PlacementAudioClip core.masterbundle:Sounds/WoodenPlacement.mp3.

Q. When are the Artisan's Box and Bundle being removed from the crafting list?
We're not planning to remove either of these from the crafting list as this time. (Answered on our Forum.)

Q. Can I make zombies take less damage?
When changing the difficulty settings of your world, you can toggle weapons to use their Player Damage values against zombies instead of their normal Zombie Damage values. This makes most weapons less effective against zombies.

Q. Do masks (like the Balaclava) provide armor?
Masks don't provide any armor to players, despite supporting the armor property. However, zombies can benefit from any masks with an otherwise unused-armor value.
