• Featured workshop item subscription can be managed from the title menu.
  
• Workshop subscriptions changed while in-game are detected and update the maps list.

Server Workshop Improvements:

• Moved WorkshopDownloadIDs.json into WorkshopDownloadConfig.json. Server now caches query results and will retry when query fails.

Quality of Life:

• Flashbangs can no longer be used in safezones or around friendly sentry guns.
  
• Teleport command and NPC teleport rewards now report when destination was obstructed.
  
• Oxygen now persists between logins to prevent resetting it at high altitudes.
  
• Stockpile new label is now dismissed when the button is clicked.

Map Creation:

• Added level Allow_Skills and Allow_Information config.
  
• Added Prevent_Building_Near_Spawnpoint_Radius to level config (default 16.0).

Asset Creation:

• Disabled many missing asset related errors when -SkipAssets is enabled.
  
• Replaced serversideSetPluginModal with EPluginWidgetFlags granting more control of UI.
  
• Tidied up some of the damage events by moving parameters into structs, and tracking the damage instigator.

Game Config:

• Added Use_Airdrops to gameplay config.

Server Console:

Miscellaneous:

• Cosmetics inventory automatically merges crafting material stacks.
  
• Player icons are shown on map while using spectator freecam.

Servers:

• Anonymous dedicated server is now available separately from the game client as AppID 1110390. It contains the 64-bit Windows and Linux headless servers, and strips many client-only files to optimize download times and disk space.
  
• Dedicated server auto-downloads child workshop items from collections and dependencies.
  
• Added gameplay config option to retain primary/secondary equipment after death.
  
• Scam or inappropriate servers can now be blacklisted by regex.

Loading:

• Improved startup time by deferring some loading to the first time you enter each map. You can disable this with the "-NoDeferAssets" command-line option. For the moment this applies to vehicles and level objects because most assets are known by map load time.
  
• Display master bundle mounting progress.
  
• Show name of downloading workshop item if known.

• Included Pumpjack example package.

Fixes:

• Fixed replicating plugin text/visibility RPCs.

Created by Ben "Paladin" Hoefer, Ethan "Cyllek" Brookman, Nathan "Wolf_Maniac" Zwerka and Nicolas "Putin3D" Arisi with thanks to Nolan "Azz", Husky and Noobyfish, Belgium is newly released for exploration! This map features modernized yet medieval cities, beautiful vistas and boating through active waterways.



If you'd like to support this team in their creation of future maps you can check out the Belgium item bundles on the Stockpile here:
Belgian Infantry
Lil' EBR
Acid Trooper
Revenue from map items and bundles are split 50% to the map team, 30% to Steam and 20% to Unturned.


Additions:

• Added Belgium to curated maps list until May 5th.
  
• Added Belgian Infantry, Lil' EBR and Acid Trooper item bundles to Stockpile.

Tweaks:

• Tweaked unity logs to be written to UnityDebug_*.log in logs folder rather than appdata so that they are easier to find.

Fixes:

• Fixed horrible voice audio when using walkie talkie after relay change. Was caused by code using Stop() rather than Pause()! Sigh.
  
• Fixed some issues registering installed workshop content while Steam is in offline mode.
  
• Fixed Retrowave skins emission, and fixed accept process not enabling _EMISSION keyword.
  
• Fixed Hawaii Red Scrounger missing collision on rear half.

Additions:

• Added ability to craft random mythical skins.
  
• Accepted several limited-time skins to the Stockpile.
  
• Added Child_Explosion_Armor_Multiplier to vehicle assets and server vehicle config. When an explosion is obstructed by buildables attached to a vehicle, the damage is multiplied by these values. Prior to this update the equivelant value was 0%. Now the default for individual vehicles is 20% (0.2) and 100% (1) in server config, so an explosion blocked by armor plating on a vehicle will deal 20% of the explosion damage to the vehicle itself.
  
• Added onDamageTireRequested event.
  
• Added CollisionEventHook to ModHooks.

Improvements:

• Improved voice data to be relayed through server. More details below.
  
• Improved Stockpile Bundles to show preview images of all contained items.

Tweaks:

• Tweaked menu warning to show missing vehicle and buildable.
  
• Tweaked seeds to no longer absorb explosive damage!

Fixes:

• Fixed level hash to include lighting nodes, preventing editor enabling light underground.
  
• Fixed shooting while walking into underwater not dequipping immediately.
  
• Fixed landscape tile seams when using pixel average smooth tool.
  
• Fixed connecting to IPs with whitespace in front/back.
  
• Fixed crediting player stats for explosive kills.
  
• Fixed ragdoll effects attached to rocket launchers.
  
• Fixed rockets going the wrong direction in multiplayer when aiming at rubble.

Bet nobody saw this coming! Details:

• Skin is randomly selected from all weapon skins including drops, crates, and stockpile items, but excluding unique trophy skins. This means you can get skins that have never had mythical versions before. Chance / weighting of each item are equal.
  
• Mythic effect is selected from weapon-compatible set, and all effects have an equal chance of being selected. Technically these are different from the "Mythic" tag because they use a newer Steam feature, so they show as "Particle" tags in the inventory.
  
• Crafting requires x1,000 salvaged materials. This is an insane amount, and might be tweaked in the future. Some of the goals of mythic crafting are to improve the long-term value of your items, keep existing mythics valuable, and incentive sinking large quantities of items out of the economy, so it had to be a large amount. One factor is that inevitably bots will buy up all the 3 cent items for ~$30 per crafted mythic.

Previously voice chat was sent from the speaker to the appropriate players using Steam's P2P network, however this had the downside of opening clients to voice packet spam, likely abused by cheats. Now this data is validated through the dedicated server, and plugins can set allowVoiceChat to enable/disable voice for specific players.
