Community creations take the spotlight — from underground bunkers to Minecraft — and then a peek at anti-cheat.
Mod: Composite Structures: Subterranean
Composite Structures: Subterranean, by VandaltheMenance.
Composite Structures: Subterranean is a new mod by VandaltheMenace, allowing players to build their own underground bunkers. Connect different rooms together as you form your own network of tunnels, and see a map of the bunker from your Command Room!
See what the mod author had to say, below:
I’ve been making mods for Unturned for about 4 years, but my first mod that was truly my own was Composite Structures. I am very proud of it. Instead of Composite Structures simply adding the same old structures with a fresh coat of paint, I added my own shapes. People really seemed to like it. It also ended up being featured in a blog. At the beginning of this year I started working on Composite Structures: Subterranean.
Then MapMania happened and it got put to the side for a couple months. After MapMania concluded, I got around to finishing this mod. People seem to like this mod too.
Anyways, keep an eye out for updates to “Composite Structures: Subterranean” and “Composite Structures.” Composite Structures had its one year anniversary recently and I have an update planned for it using the new crafting stations.
Undergrown is also still being developed and will feature things just as unique and cool as these bunkers. I also plan on making a video sharing how the Unity for this mod works, so others can build on it.

Anti-Cheat
We’re often asked about the anti-cheat measures employed by Unturned, to help keep the game secure and fair from cheaters. It’s not often we discuss anti-cheat, but we’d like to share a little bit from behind the scenes.
Unturned uses BattlEye alongside Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) as proactive anti-cheat measures. We also regularly assess and fix vulnerabilities when refactoring older code, and have a few built-in measures to mitigate cheating. Such as, detecting when a player is attempting to bypass HWID bans on servers.
To start off 2025, there have been 11,196 accounts banned through BattlEye during these first few months so far. You can see a small spike in January, which coincides with more people playing over the holidays.
Ultimately, securing the game from cheaters is a game of cat-and-mouse. While we crack down on exploits, cheat developers try to find new ones. We regularly keep an eye on player discussions, in order to better fix new vulnerabilities and share information with BattlEye.

Q&A
Q. Can I favorite crafting recipes? Yes! You can use a recipe’s crafting details menu to change its visibility from “Default” to “Ignored” or “Favorited”.
Q. How to remove solid boxes covering map in level editor? When editing a map (particularly, preexisting maps) – you may see “volumes” in the level editor. These volumes, including their visibility, can be tweaked from the Volumes tab.
Q. How do sentries work? Gun code is duplicated between sentries and actual guns, so sentries may (unintentionally) sometimes work differently than may expect. There’s also some intentional differences. For example, sentries only have a chance to actually consume ammo, and have limited targeting range.
