Unturned Dev Tracker

For reference, the landmass would cover an area the size of 1,380,000 copies of the in-game Russia map. That doesn't account for the actual shape of P.E.I., nor the waters around it, so the actual in-game map would be a bit larger than that reference point.

Like with all in-game header notifications, they only appear on start-up until the notification is clicked on for the first time.

The Maplestrike is a C7A2, which is Canadian. :X Easy mistake though!

Unturned II is being designed to have its own unique story and lore, rather than be a retelling of Unturned's. It should be a much more coherent story with both Excursions and NPC interactions tying into them!

The game is currently in early development for PC (Windows, Mac, and Linux) and I would not anticipate any such console releases, especially since the game itself hasn't been developed and released yet.

With that in mind -- thank you for your interest in console versions!

Is there an issue you're having with following SDG's (and by extension, the Valve Developer Community's) official documentation?

Several weeks of May were used to push out necessary/backlogged updates for Unturned. Unturned II devlogs are released when we feel there's enough to discuss or push out an update for.

For resources regarding information like this, it's usually posted on the official roadmap, or in the latest U3 patch note or U4 devlog (whichever one is more relevant at the time).

To clarify slightly: steering is also bound to arrow keys, so that you can fly in third-person where using a mouse isn't an option.

This is super false -- anybody can host their own server. Now, if your ISP is blocking ports and they make it difficult for you to port forward, that's a different issue entirely.

Just to bounce off this comment -- you basically answered your question of "what takes that long" yourself. The last couple weeks were used to provide necessary updates to U3 (alongside some other stuff that has been planned/requested but backlogged for a while).

If Steam can detect the input device (in this case, your Thrustmaster) then it should work but you'd obviously have to map controls yourself through Big Picture Mode. If Steam doesn't recognize the device, or it recognizes the device but not the inputs, then you'll likely have to use an emulator so Steam recognizes the inputs.

U3 has had controller support since 2015. What specific issues were you having?

I think there's a misunderstanding of what's being discussed in the comment chain. A "private game" doesn't mean anything besides that it's private, such as with a password or a whitelist. It's not the opposite of a dedicated server, nor has anything to do with whether or not you port forward. Anyone can make a private server.

It's not the opposite of a dedicated server, which could more accurately be described as a listen server. But when people think of games like Don't Starve, Garry's Mod, and Terraria, those are actually using Steamwork servers.

When Turkey-er mentioned P2P, they're probably referring to peer-to-peer (not pay-to-play, which I think you may have interpreted it as).

Are you sure you've downloaded and installed those maps?
