Frequently asked questions
What is the best Unturned map for a new server?
PEI is small and good for a few players. Washington, Russia and Germany are bigger. Curated maps such as Hawaii or Kuwait add new areas, items and vehicles but need a Workshop download.Is Hawaii installed on my server?
No. Hawaii is a curated Workshop map. Add File ID1753134636 and Hawaii Assets 1753131903 to WorkshopDownloadConfig.json and restart.
Do I lose my world when I change maps?
No. Each map has its own save, so you can switch back later.Can I run two maps at once?
No. One server runs one map. You need a second server for a second map.Related guides
