How to Set up an Unturned 3.0 Server
Unturned is a popular sandbox survival game that allows players to explore, scavenge, and build in a post-apocalyptic world. While playing on public servers can be fun, setting up your own Unturned 3.0 server gives you more control and flexibility. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up your own server and some frequently asked questions answered.
Step 1: Download the Dedicated Server files
To begin, download the Unturned Dedicated Server files from the official website. These files are necessary for hosting your own server.
Step 2: Configure server settings
Once the files are downloaded, open the server folder and locate the “Commands.dat” file. This file allows you to configure various server settings such as the server name, password, and game mode.
Step 3: Port forwarding
To allow players to connect to your server, you need to configure port forwarding on your router. This process varies depending on your router model, so refer to the router’s manual or website for specific instructions.
Step 4: Launch the server
After configuring the server settings and port forwarding, launch the server by running the “Unturned.exe” file. You can tweak additional settings during the server launch, such as the number of players allowed and server difficulty.
Step 5: Share server details
Share your server details, including the IP address and port number, with friends or the Unturned community. They can use this information to connect and join your server.

2. How many players can join my server?
The number of players depends on your server’s settings. You can adjust this in the “Commands.dat” file.
3. Can I use mods on my server?

5. Can I change the map on my server?
