Reminders about ComboCrate 2024, the Steam Scream Fest sale, and showcasing a variety of community-created content.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)
