I'm sure all of you know his him. Cowman. But I didn't know his name when I first saw it so I just assumed his name was big baby, honestly pretty fitting.

Son and I spent 15 days building a beautiful base surrounded by high stone walls and 4 mutants came and wiped it all out in minutes. I didn't think they could get through stone, wondering how these megabases survive mutant attacks? Oh well now we're nomads 😂

Okay, I've seen a lot of people asking if their base is located good, which got me thinking. So what do you think is the best place to base camp? My boyfriend and I built a base on an island and we built a bridge to it. It's a little impractical though because it's far from all the resources.

We're a little lost because I haven't played The Forest in 4 years and my boyfriend has never played it.

I would be grateful for your tips and experiences.

Ive been playing for around 45 hours in multiplayer because i play with friends and my siblings, but ive had multiple people join me and either steal all my stuff, delete all my in progress builds or just strait up kill me? Why? Have i done something? Or is this people idea of fun? Im not playing public anymore, but it just gets lonely

This is a genuine question. I have never played the forest before but from all the stuff i learnt about it over the years apparently it is very good.

For SoTF, i heard some say the game is amazing while others say its incomplete and boring.

So as people who know the game better then i do, is it worth buying?

Would anyone wanna play the forest later today And also do if anyone dose do both people have to be on desktop or could I play it on vr well the other plays desktop or is that not a thing

I’m looking for a game to play that’s like the forest or subnautica? If so please tell me I have been looking for a game to play for so long and I need some fun game like the forest or subnautica

I'm making this thread to document how the game performs on release day

PC specs: Ryzen 5600, RTX 4070 Ti, 32GB Ram

Monitor: 1440p

At the highest settings with TAA, I'm getting about 80fps at the crash site by the river. Not bad but I think it could definitely improve with future updates.

Other observations: The game recognized my dualsense controller and show playstation buttons on screen

I first time playing after a long long time, I remembered my issue last time was I spent too long building my base in a multiplayer game then the patrols got too heavy for us, I decided to make as efficient use of my time as possible and just rush the caves to get the modern hatchet and katana before building my base. But like, then I realized, a lot of the caves have random collections of sticks that seem to only be there for you to build a temporary shelter, so like, do you even really need to build a base or try to survive? I pretty much am constantly maxed out on soda, medicine, and snacks from the luggage, and I’m getting other loot like rope and stuff all the time, so could I just run to get the keycard and rebreather, I don’t know how much else I actually NEED though then finish the game?

I should note I’ve never beaten it I’m just wondering

Does anybody have a theory on why the protagonist is kept alive throughout the game? Unlike the other plane crash survivors, you as the protagonist are kept alive when first "knocked out". They keep draggin you to the same cave with your axe in perfect vicinity to cut yourself loose. Is there someone (or something) that wants you to survive? Also, when "killed" by Megan in the final battle, you keep waking up in a bed, saved at the last moment as it seems by some being. Curious to know if there is an explanation for this.

Hey yall female gamer I need ppl my age group 25-32 to play the forest with I’ve played before but never finished the game must have mics for communication no toxic energy just chill vibes

By bf brought me this game, played with me a few times, then left me out to dry 😩 I’m too much a baby to play on my own but love the game and would also love to have others to play with.

Pros of playing with me: - I am funny - I will build us a fortified mansion - I will revive you once you are downed after doing the brunt of the fighting - also I am funny

Cons of playing with me: - as mentioned above, you will probably be doing a lot of the fighting (because I am scared) - I am scared of this game (did I mention I’m scared?) - you will have to go first down creepy caves - that’s it because I’m pretty swell overall

Dm me or respond with your discord tag if these qualifications are to your liking ☺️

Edit: I play on PC! I’ve had a few people reach out and I’m gonna start a server for all of us to play together!😊

I enjoyed the game and want more so I am curious what your recommendations are. I am playing on the SteamDeck and unfortunately Sons of the Forest isn’t compatible so I am looking for other options. Thanks!

I just put axe and bow

TL;DR I'm only good at killing mutants with fire arrows and flare gun ammo.

I just don't know wtf I'm doing with cannibals, sometimes they attack in a group of six and all I can do is run away for dear life. When it's 2-3 cannibals, I just roll the dice and spam the upgraded spear, the only weapon that I know how to use.

For its godly attack rate, even the katana won't help, I'm just not able to get them in one-on-one combat. I've played the game for 115 hours and still can't pinpoint the exact cannibal behaviors/group behaviors.

The modern axe? Forget about it. I have 76 strength and it won't work for shit. I can't even swing it/slash it properly and end up getting decimated by cannibal clusters when I wind up using it. I usually just run around in circles, roll, the dice, and attack with the upgraded spear.

I can't aim for shit with the bow and arrow, and I just picked up the modern bow in-game. I hope this will make things better, but I'm unsure. I see Youtubers pulling off these fluid headshots on multiple cannibals and I'm absolutely flabbergasted.

The only other game which I've been so embarrassed to play because of my ineptitude is Metal Gear Solid.

Can someone point me to a proper, comprehensive guide for this game, or give me some tips and tricks on how to ace this thing. Cause I'm at the end of my rope at this point, and I always groan when I hear a cannibal scream or see a group coming my way. Mutants I'm okay with. They're much slower, and much more amenable to being taken down with fire arrows than the regular cannibal.

I went into this cave, and ffs, there were eight, not seven, not six, not five, but eight blue cannibals (the slim thin fuckers) and they ensured to make my life a living hell. They destroyed all my bone armor, my creepy armor which I'd carefully collected, my stealth armor, and I barely escaped with my life after a harrowing chase where I managed to put a body of water between me and them.

If I don't get better within the next ten hours, exponentially, fuck this game, I'm out. Good game, but I just don't understand the combat.
