Uploading a save to Your Unturned server

Summary

Unturned servers provide a great platform for creating communities and playing with friends. Whether for cooperative adventures or large-scale faction battles, hosting a server allows for shared experiences and persistent worlds. Players can also upload their single-player saves to a server, preserving progress while preparing for multiplayer gameplay. Although a Steam Account Token is required, world saves can be transferred at any time.

How to Upload a Save to an Unturned Server

1. In your Steam Library, right-click Unturned and select Manage > Browse local files.

   

2. Open the Worlds folder.

   

3. Locate and open your desired world folder (for example, Singleplayer_0), then minimize the window for later use.

4. Log in to the ChipHead Panel.

   

5. Stop your server.

   

6. Go to the Files tab.

   

7. Navigate to: /home/container/Servers/ChipheadUnturned

   

   If the Default (ChipheadUnturned) folder does not appear, start and stop the server once to generate it.

8. Select and delete the Level, Players, and Config.json files.

   

   Some worlds include additional folders. Be sure to delete all files and folders that share names with those from your local save before uploading.

9. Upload the local files from Step 3 into the Default (ChipheadUnturned) folder.

10. Navigate to Game Config to open the Commands.dat file.

    

11. Add the following line: map mapname — replacing “mapname” with the name of your uploaded world’s map.

12. Click Save when finished.

13. Start your server.

    

All Unturned servers must have a Steam Account Token to be joinable.
