Unity Setup
Unity is the game engine that powers Unturned™. To build mods that the game can load, you compile your custom assets inside the same engine version that Smartly Dressed Games uses to build Unturned itself. This section of the 57 Studios™ Modding Knowledge Base walks through the entire Unity environment setup from the very first download to the moment you are ready to build your first asset bundle.
The Unity Setup section is the second major stage of the modding pipeline. By the end of these five articles, you will have a working Unity installation, an initialized project, the Unturned project package imported, and the Master Bundle Tool visible in your Unity menu bar.
