Medicine [Long Post]

As of now in Unturned 3.0, there are a few effects that your character can suffer from, like bleeding, broken legs, burning, freezing, etc. In an effort to try to increase the medical aspect of Unturned 4.0, I’ve spent several hours on research on various illnesses, afflictions, and treatments, both from real life and in survival games, such as The Long Dark. Enjoy! Afflcitions Bleeding Caused by slashing or puncture wounds from sharp weapons, such as knives, swords, chainsaws, and other bla…

Makeshift and Improvised Weapons

Sigh. This marks my third and final revision of this post. I’ve written it already twice, but there was always something wrong with it so I never published it. Well, here you go, the thrd revision of “Makeshift and Improvised Weapons.” In Unturned 3, makeshifts are, well, almost useless. Sure, the makeshift rifles are nice and all, and ammo can be crafted for them, but in the end, there’s so many Schofields and Hawkhounds lying around in farms that taking the time and effort to make one is jus…

Weapon Categories in Unturned II [Long Post]

Alright, it’s been a while since I’ve made a post of any substance, so here we go. Currently within the base 3.0 we have several basic types of firearms (by “weapons” I am referring to firearms only in this topic). These are: Handguns, Carbines, Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles, Rifles, Sharpshooter Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Machine Guns, and Miscellaneous. This categorization system, however, is rife with error and mistakes. For example, the submachine gun category was not added until t…

Wildlife, Hunting, Fishing, and Foraging [Long Post]

(DISCLAIMER: I accidently posted part of this topic prematurely, here is the full topic) Agriculture is underrated in Unturned. It provides a sustainable, easy source of sustenance. However, foraging, hunting, and fishing yield so little rewards in 3.0 that personally I find it better of to just farm. Time to brew up a post that’ll remedy that. Enjoy! Hunting Mechanics Any game must be built on mechanics. Here are a few that I feel Unturned II should have. Large-caliber weapons cause a large…

On Preserving Food

@NarcolepticHound mentioned @GreatHeroJ 's Food Spoilage Concept. Time to make a topic on preserving food. (Okay, I’d admit I copy and pasted a lot of this from Wikipedia because I was lazy at the time) Curing The earliest form of curing was dehydration or drying, used as early as 12,000 BC. Smoking and salting techniques improve on the drying process and add antimicrobial agents that aid in preservation. Smoke deposits a number of pyrolysis products onto the food, including the phenols syrin…

Ammunition types

Currently in 3.0 we have a couple types of ammunition: regular, tracer, and fragmentation. There are also Shadowstalker rails and shotguns pellets, but those don’t have different interchangeable round types. Now what I’m suggesting here is similar to what we currently have, but different. Now, in Devlog #005, I believe, Nelson posted this image: [image] My suggestion here improves on that. Instead of just having “5.56mm Military Ammunition”, we’d have some things like: 5.56mm M855 This is …

Water purification

Currently purification tablets are hard to come by in 3.0. As the PvE in 4.0 is to be heavily emphasized, there should be other ways to boil water. Here are a few suggestions that I came up with. Boiling This simple method removes bacterial and viral contaminants, but not chemical contamination. Only suitable for water such as those found in rivers, streams, and ponds. Distillation Evaporates the water and then condenses the vapor in a seperate container. Suitable for all types of fire, b…

Underwater Weaponry

Mechanics I’ll make this one short. Basically, regular firearms can fire underwater, but their range is significantly decreased and at a certain depth, normal bullets cease to work. As a matter of fact, bullet drop would also be more pronounced in an underwater environment. Weapon Suggestions APS [image] A Russian assault rifle designed for amphibious operators. Fires a long, needle like bullet. SPP-1M [image] A Soviet four-shot, derringer-like pistol using a similar cartridge …

Gasifiers and Stills

Currently in 3.0, we have pumpjacks that draw fuel periodically from the ground. Personally, I think this is complete bullshit. First of all, I doubt that oil is this close to the surface, and second of all, I doubt that it can be found everywhere on the map. In addition, raw oil would also have to be refined in order to be properly used in combustion engines. In 4.0, I feel that pump jacks should still be a thing, but oil reserves will have to be regulated to a few select locations per map. In…

Excuse the fuck but what are these then you fucking Canadian elitist bigot
