So me and someone on a discord found why unturned takes up so much memory. The problem is that there is a layer of water underneath the map that constantly renders idk if anyone knows this already but hopefully it gets fixed

The terrain is always drawn before water which means any water underneath the map will be skipped because it fails the depth test.
Since you mention memory (RAM), for most players, Unturned uses a lot of RAM when a lot of mods (including curated maps) are installed. The game pre-loads a lot of content which is undeniably problematic memory-wise, but it has its upsides, and is difficult to change at this point because it's somewhat foundational. We have a support article to help with reducing RAM usage: https://support.smartlydressedgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/12112637453076-Reducing-memory-RAM-usage
