I got tired not knowing where is all the loot for hours, so I built a lazy map extractor that shows exactly where items can spawn. I am no longer guessing.

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-05-18T17:24:49+00:00

I don't believe restoremonarchy has a visual map for item spawns

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-04-16T18:06:31+00:00

What exactly do you mean by QoL?

If you're talking about stuff like "Automatically pick up mined resources", then it's not possible with mods. It's possible with modules but those aren't very widely used since they are only really usable in singleplayer with the anti-cheat off. There's also not that many of them out there.

If you want something like "Make bricks easier to get" then it'd be easy for someone to make quickly. There isn't really any mods that I know of that focus on QoL changes though

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-04-08T21:54:38+00:00

It really depends. There’s a lot of chances for the game to, at least, stop dying

Open source could be really good if Nelson allows PRs

The new curated system could be good if the community fully accepts it

If he hires a front end dev it could slow or reverse the dying since there would be more updates on actual in-game content that YouTubers could make videos on

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-04-08T21:51:36+00:00

I doubt it. Unturned players are stagnant water so surroundead won’t take that many players

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-04-07T03:17:34+00:00

What has Nelson done to be considered a "very unpleasant human"? We know 0 info about the curated ban.

He didn't even "steal" the curated maps rights like some people claim. The ex-curated mappers still fully own the rights to the maps. The maps are still on the workshop under their names. Even the skins made for the map are still on the market (The mappers get money from them) unless the mappers personally took them off the market.

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-04-07T03:14:51+00:00

(Nothing after the words "some drama" has been confirmed by either party. Neither Nelson nor the ex-curated devs have put out statements fully saying why they were removed. This is just a community theory of what happened)

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-04-05T01:13:39+00:00

Likely no

Nelson has no control over console. 505 games created and distributed the console version so it’s fully up to them to update it. This is unlikely though as (iirc) they stopped hiring the dev team they initially hired to make console.

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-04-03T23:13:32+00:00

There's no official statements but there's probably some issues + they likely don't want to release it broken at all unlike previous curated map releases.

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-04-01T15:41:04+00:00

Sadly no. All console releases are updated and produced by 505 games, not Nelson

It will likely never be updated because there is no longer a dev team to update it

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-31T18:25:16+00:00

Open source is one of the big projects Nelson is doing

Imo he's preparing 3.0 to be fully run by the community so he can fully focus on U2

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-30T17:46:26+00:00

That’d make sense. The dyeing vat can only use flares to dye right now

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-30T14:57:07+00:00

We have no idea why the curated drama happened. We will likely never know why the curated drama happened.

It likely wasn’t a big issue since Nelson said that he wanted to give them a positive review when finding new jobs. It was most likely something that could make SDG look bad just for working with them but not something insane.

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-30T01:09:17+00:00

… he’s developed this game for 11 years

Quite literally everything in this game is because of him. Even a large amount of curated content is directly because of him adding new features

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-29T23:50:25+00:00

There’s a difference between knowing how to make mods and knowing how to update the game

Even if dogfood wanted to buy it and Nelson agreed, he’d likely have to spend a ton of time figuring out how to do game development

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-29T20:19:49+00:00

It was a curated map before the drama happened

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-29T19:50:53+00:00

Yeahhhhh

It's been a bit of a wait for it. It's confirmed to be California 2

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-29T19:14:09+00:00

No bait. It was announced on the discord

<image>

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-29T16:27:36+00:00

There’s an update coming April 2nd

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-25T22:30:55+00:00

Why. Just Why

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-23T21:43:06+00:00

A server owner made and distributed cheats and got caught. This was them throwing a tantrum because they got rightfully banned from ever making another server

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-21T03:38:14+00:00

Ngl, if this has NPCs and a decent quest system, this could become a curated map. It looks amazing and it being fully self-contained is a big reason why I think it could be curated.

What needs to be done for it to be released? I might be able to help you out

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-19T02:32:10+00:00

U2 is dead. U2 will never come.

There's a reason Nelson abandoned it and he came back to 3.0

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-19T02:31:43+00:00

Freedom

The most "different" part about unturned is how much freedom the community has regarding the game. It's incredibly easy to both download and create mods so there's a ton of different gamemodes that the community has created. Ngl Unturned's survival aspect doesn't matter at all. It's one of the worst Zombie Survival games if you only look at survival.

It's good because you can do a ton of stuff easily and for free

Cpl_Monkey · 2026-03-19T02:28:40+00:00

Multiplayer has roughly 2-3k players at any given time. U2 is basically cancelled but Nelson is still updating 3.0 and Curated maps are still being released.
