Several updates ago the idea was proposed to create a new map set in an American state and then split the different playstyles (hardcore pve, pve and pvp) into the maps that best fit them. Judging from the comments/feedback on that announcement post this is a popular idea, so earlier this week I began working on the new map and tweaking PEI/the Yukon.

Here are the current plans for what to do with the maps (Although definitely open to suggestion!) and some questions to get some more feedback:

In 3.13 right now I'm moving this more towards the survival end of the spectrum by doing things like removing player spawnpoints from the military bases, moving the police checkpoint to the airport, reducing the spawnrates of guns and ammunition and getting rid of extravagant fortified locations like the crashed helicopter, submarine and Scorpion-7 (Moved to the American map). How would you like to see it changed? What would you like to see fill in where Scorpion-7 was?

For 3.13 I haven't planned any changes for this map yet, although in the future I agree it would be nice to expand the temperature system beyond simply whether you have clothes or not. How would you like to see it changed or made more difficult to survive on?

This is definitely on the combat side of the spectrum with many more fortified locations like an evacuation zone constructed by the military, destroyed military convoys and military encampments set up to help protect the populace. It also has some cool locations to visit like a racetrack for fast vehicles or a golf course great for building bases. What sort of things would you like to see in this map? Are there any content additions you can think of that would fit well into this map?

If we're lucky 3.13.0.0 will be ready for next Friday (the 18th of September), but there's still a lot to do so if not there will be a progress report to let you know.

When PEI first came out it had to balance every different playstyle from hardcore survival to casual combat. With the addition of the Yukon map those hardcore survival players have a huge harsh location to explore and build bases, and it is the perfect location to begin adding more complex survival mechanics such as temperature and aggressive animals in the future.

Next up I would like to create a map set somewhere in the USA for the opposite side of the playstyle spectrum which will have a much stronger military presence fit for lots of fun PvPing as well as crazy locations to find like a racetrack with racecars.

With those two maps PEI can then be balanced to somewhere in between the extremes, more hardcore mechanics can be added to the Yukon and new weapons can be added to the USA.

What do you think of this plan?
What sort of things would you like to see in the USA map?

Warning: Today's update contains some of the new items/vehicles intended for the USA map, so if you want to experience it all for the first time when this map comes out make sure not to spawn in the sabertooth, peacemaker, heartbreaker, golfcart or taxi.

One thing I'm considering right now is making it so that Gold members can toggle Gold versions of their weapons as an extra bonus. For example on the Timberwolf the main black body part could become shiny Gold, or the barrel/bolt could be Gold accented. What do you think of this idea?

Which gun would you like to see Gold most? Which melee would you like to see Gold most?

The Steam economy is now fully integrated into Unturned spanning from trading cosmetics to selling them on the Community Market! This allows you to give your character a unique appearance and keep that appearance between servers regardless of what loot you find.

The easiest way to get cosmetics into your Steam backpack is to play the game! After playing a certain amount of time you will occasionally see a cosmetic drop notification showing what has been given to you.

The rarest drops are Mystery Boxes which, when opened, will give you a random mystery item, or if you're extra lucky you might get a super-rare one with a mythical property like fire or sparkles! These require a key to open which cost $0.99 USD or your currency equivalent.

While in-game if you find an item you would like to show instead of your cosmetics, for example a ghillie suit, you can click the button underneath your character preview to toggle them on and off.

If you would like to get your own cosmetics into Unturned's economy you can submit one to the curated Workshop! More details on how to do that can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=460136012

Tweaks:

• Tweaked cold environments to increase calorie consumption.
  
• Tweaked warmblooded skill to reduce calorie consumption as a bonus.

• Fixed blurry edges of scaled item icons.
  
• Fixed loading empty item tables.

The in-menu patch notes now show just the changes portion of each announcement, and should fit better on most screens.

Originally the quad was going to be part of the USA map update, but it was too much fun to make so I did it a couple days ago!
