To get more loot on your Unturned server, open Game settings, raise Item spawn chance (0.35 on Normal, up to 1) and lower Item respawn (100 seconds on Normal), then save and restart. Item spawn chance is the share of the map’s item spawn points that hold an item at once. Which items appear comes from the map’s spawn tables.

​
How to increase the item spawn rate

1

Open Game settings

Open your server and click Game settings. Find Items and vehicles.
2

Raise Item spawn chance

Set Item spawn chance higher, for example 0.6. With 0.6 on a map with 100 item spawn points, up to 60 items lie around at a time.
3

Lower Item respawn

Set Item respawn lower, for example 50. While fewer items are out than the target, a new one spawns about this often (in seconds).
4

Save and restart

Click Review and save, then Save changes, and restart the server.

​
Loot defaults by mode

If you leave a field empty, the server uses the value of its Mode: Easy mode halves the respawn time, but it also changes zombies and other rules. To change only loot, edit the fields above.

​
More loot settings in Config.txt

Servers/PterodactylUnturned/Config.txt has more item options in its Items section. Open it with Game settings > Config.txt: open the raw file while the server is stopped. Example, to make every magazine spawn full:
Each key has a comment in the file with its Easy, Normal and Hard defaults.

​
What are spawn tables?

A spawn table is a weighted list that decides which item, vehicle or animal appears at a spawn point. Military spawn points, for example, use tables with military guns and ammo. Spawn tables are part of each map and its assets, not the server settings, so you can’t edit them on Game settings. To change them, install a Workshop mod that adds or overrides spawn tables. See Workshop mods and the official spawn asset documentation. Airdrops (on Game settings under Weather and airdrops) add extra supply drops. Admins can call one at any time with the airdrop command.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
How long does loot take to respawn in Unturned?

On Normal mode a new item spawns about every 100 seconds while the map has fewer items than its target. Change Item respawn to make it faster or slower.

​
Why is there still little loot after I raised the spawn chance?

The server only adds items gradually, one about every Item respawn seconds. Lower that value too, and give it a few minutes after the restart.

​
How do I set a spawn point in Unturned?

Players set their own respawn point by placing and claiming a bed. RocketMod’s /home command teleports a player to their bed after the Teleport home countdown (30 seconds).

​
Can I give players items when they spawn?

Yes. Add a Loadout line to Commands.dat, for example Loadout 255/81/14. See server commands.
