Gathering Materials for Doors
The first step is gathering the required materials to craft doors in Unturned. The main materials needed are:
- Wood – Obtained by chopping down trees. Required for crafting wooden doors, doorways, and doorframes. Pine logs specifically are needed for pine doors.
- Metal – Obtained by salvaging metal objects. Required for crafting metal and vault doors.
- Nails – Found in industrial areas. Used in crafting various doors and attaching them.
You’ll also need to craft boards and wooden plates as intermediate ingredients for making doors and attaching them to doorways. Sawing logs at a crafting menu produces boards, which can then be crafted into wooden plates and other components.
Crafting Different Types of Doors
There are several types of doors that can be crafted in Unturned, with different ingredients and levels of security:
Wooden Doors
Ingredients: Boards, nails, sometimes hinges
Crafting: Easy
Security: Low
Wooden doors include maple, birch, and pine doors. They provide basic security but are easy for zombies or other players to break down.
Metal Doors
Ingredients: Metal sheets, nails, sometimes hinges
Crafting: Intermediate
Security: High
Metal doors are much more durable than wooden doors. They cannot be broken down by zombies and require explosives to destroy.
Vault Doors
Ingredients: Lots of metal sheets and nails
Crafting: Advanced
Security: Very high
Vault doors have extremely high health and cannot be easily destroyed by other players. They provide the highest security.
Garage Doors
Ingredients: Metal sheets, gears, engine parts
Crafting: Advanced
Security: High
Garage doors open vertically and are tougher than regular metal doors. They can be opened with switches or sensors.
Building and Placing Doors
Once you’ve crafted doors in Unturned, you need to properly build and install them in bases:
Doorways and Frames
Place doorways first to designate an entrance, then place a matching doorframe overlapping the doorway. Doorframes have the actual opening for doors.
Attaching Doors
Wooden doors can be attached directly to doorframes using nails.
Metal and vault doors need to be placed adjacent to doorframes, using nails to secure them.
Doubledoors
For extra security, place doubledoors – two doors right next to each other. Zombies and players have to break through both.
Locks
Attach combination or key locks to prevent unauthorized entry. Locked doors can still be broken down though.
Switches and Sensors
To automatically open garage doors, place remote switches or motion sensors nearby. Link them to the garage door.
Door Maintenance and Upgrades
As enemies attack your doors, they will degrade and eventually break. Perform regular maintenance and upgrades:
- Check door health frequently
- Repair damage using repair tools
- Upgrade to stronger door types if security is lacking
Reinforce doors with additional defenses like traps, turrets, and extra barricades. A strong perimeter with multiple internal doors also improves security.
Base Design Tips for Doors
Here are some base design tips for making the most of doors in Unturned:
- Use metal or vault doors for exterior entrances and wooden doors for interior rooms
- Create airlock entryways with doubledoors
- Build maze-like hallways to slow down intruders
- Place doors far apart to prevent splash damage from rockets
- Put doors on upper floors or roofs to provide escape routes
- Hide or disguise doors using shelters and decoys
Careful door placement, upgrades, repairs, and complementary defenses will help you survive in Unturned by securing your loot and shelter from the zombie hordes! Let us know your best base building tips in the comments.
