Running an Unturned dedicated server yourself takes quite a bit more setup:

System Requirements

• Windows or Linux 64-bit host (Unturned dedicated server hosting is not supported on macOS)
• Disk space for U3DS server files, save data, Workshop downloads, and logs
• Reliable CPU, memory, and network capacity for your player count, plugins, and Workshop content
• Stable internet connection with open or forwarded UDP ports
• SteamCMD for headless installs and updates, or the Steam Library tool for a simple setup
• Steam account access to create a Game Server Login Token (GSLT) for public server listing

Installation

• Install the Unturned Dedicated Server tool from your Steam Library, or install it headlessly with SteamCMD (App ID 1110390)
• With SteamCMD, use login anonymous then app_update 1110390 to download or update the server files
• Launch an Internet server with ServerHelper.bat +InternetServer/MyServer on Windows or ./ServerHelper.sh +InternetServer/MyServer on Linux
• Use +LanServer/MyServer for LAN-only testing, then switch to +InternetServer/MyServer when you want friends to join online
• After first launch, shut down safely with Shutdown so the server writes its files under Servers\MyServer\
• Edit Servers\MyServer\Server\Commands.dat for server name, map, password, max players, port, owner/admin, and GSLT
• Create a Steam GSLT using Unturned's app ID 304930 and add it to your server if you want public browser listing and persistent server codes
• Open or forward the UDP port you configured, then share your server code or IP:port with players

Picking Mods & Workshop Content

• Browse Unturned maps, vehicles, weapons, and content packs on the Steam Workshop (Workshop App ID 304930)
• Add Workshop item IDs to Servers\MyServer\WorkshopDownloadConfig.json so U3DS downloads required maps and content
• Set the matching map name in Commands.dat; common maps include PEI, Washington, Russia, Yukon, Germany, Greece, Hawaii, and California 2
• Enable Rocket/LDM when using Rocket-compatible plugins, upload plugin .dll files to Servers\MyServer\Rocket\Plugins\, and verify each plugin supports your current Unturned version
