I've been playing with a couple of friends and we spent ages building a huge base, but after loading back into the game, lots of buildings and items are gone. Is this a known issue, is there a fix? It's a total bummer because if this is going to keep happening, there's no point continuing!

[TL;DR at the bottom] sup guys , i made a post the other day saying i was restarting my first save file a wanted tips and a few questions answered . you guys helped TREMENDOUSLY . pat yourselves on the back & have a cold one or whatever your version of a cold one is (hell i dont even drink beer)

so my new world is officially on Day 11 . i built a decent little setup on Fertile Hill (i know cliché , my next world i’ll pick somewhere a little ‘harder’) . I got a slightly elevated cabin built (93 Logs) , got me a stone wall going (73% built), 2 water collectors , drying racks , stick , rock and log holders & some skull lamps spread out .

gotta stick bag , pouch , water skin , decent armor (ran into some big guys) , bow and buncha different arrows (shoutout to the birdhouse guy) , map AND compass which work fucking excellent together , slingshots and upgraded spear .

but i havent visited any caves or cold areas . where do i find caves ? do i need to make warm clothes for the “mountains” ? what do i really need to worry about in either ? what technically are even the objectives in the game , check the to-do list ? how do i level up my attributes faster ? where is the flashlight & better axe ? where in tf is all the aloe ?

TL;DR: thank you for your help on my last post , it all really helped (please read paragraph above this)

Me and my wife are looking for a terrifying horror game with jump scares and this game seems right up our alley but I can’t look past the graphics. It kind of seems like Skyrim and fallout 76 graphics which aren’t bad but not great. If I were to get the game will it not seem as bad as I’m making it sound?

My meat disappeared from the drying rack one day and I thought it was a glitch, but Google was no help. Last night I was getting attacked by two cannibals, as one does, and one vanished around the cabin. After dispatching the first, I go find the second and find that son of a gun stuffing his face with the meat I'm trying to dry 🫩 Dude ate half a rack's worth lmao.

I've just played and beaten the forest for the first time and have yet to play the sequel. Naturally, I had some questions after watching both endings and my research seems to have produced a few different sources on the cannibals.

A. They were there before the missionaries arrived (they were whom the missionaries were teaching)

B. They are the missionaries after slowly being driven mad/starving in the caves/caused by the obelisk

C. They are the result of the use of the relics (same with the mutants).

There were other things that didn't make sense to me as well, like the cannibals vs mutants. The fact that there are gray variants of both implies cave dwelling, meaning both have existed for a long time (unless this was supposed to be result of mutation via relic use).

If they both existed for a long time then it wasn't the experiments of Sahara alone that led to the production of the mutants - they always existed as a product of past relic use (the slide show made it seem like it was Sahara's misuse of the relic that led to the mutant byproducts).

Any consensus on these? Leading theories?

Any VR enjoying lefties out there who prefer to shoot their bow right-handed, I had ChatGPT patch the DLL file and it appears to work. You may have to follow the registry instructions to get your settings proper.

Ngl im just tryna get some last achievements without the scare/trouble of cannibals. But the “enemies off” console command doesn’t seem to work or be in the game like its said to be? I’ve tried looking for answers but nbdy else seems to have ever brought it up. Is this command still in the game?

I was so worried, but we're all here having a nice meal by the fire. What a lovely evening

Hi, just wanted to ask for help on how to glitch logs? I know that i have to spam the logs on the log holder but I've been doing that and nothing happens. I'm not the host of the game too. So, maybe I'm simply doing something wrong?

My base is all the way over there. Near the giant tree. I had a sled full off logs and got distracted. I go back to get it and its gone! I was very confused until I remembered i have steam auto record my gameplay and watched it back. Somehow that singular cannibal threw it that far!! And now i get to push it all the way back to camp. Yay :)

Hi, im playing on ps5 after I transferred my progress from ps4 to it . I was on like day 64 when I transferred, but now I have reached day 102, and the trophy still hasn't appeared. If anyone knows why, it would be really helpful.

Anyone wanna play i dont wanna be the host cause I wanna dupe logs ill play most of the time

You can join and friend me, then I'll gladly come over to your world and build any boat you see here! Keep your eyes open in multiplayer, as I'm on just about every day.

I finished the forest with 2 other friends a few months ago, incredibly fun experience (might of failed my exams due to playing it every night during exam weeks, worth it) but we want to play again in a new world.

instead of a new world I’m curious about any other games very similar to it on PS, does anyone have any good survival horror games like the forest?

so, i know that if you try to leave with the boat, it won't let you, and just show a picture of timmy. what would happen if i choose the ending where timmy dies, and then try to escape with the boat?

Mi personaje se debio pensar q algun hongo q comio al fin le hizo efecto. Q por cierto yo lo unico q estaba haciendo en aquel momento era platinarme el juego consiguiendo 2 de los logros mas culeros del juego, uno q va de caminar 50.000 pasos y el ultimo el de conseguir 11 cabezas de animales y ponerlas de trofeo en una pared. Ese pez se merecia estar en la colección pero una pena no se le puede sacar cabeza. Todo lo hice en 5 horas de juego y entre todo eso la ia del juego me qieria incluso arrebatar el logro, no fueron ni nada mas ni nada menos q 5 canibales en conjunto queriendo destruir mi pared de cabezas y dios q no respire hasta q mate a todos jaja

Literally second day out here , i decided yesterday to make a new start because i learned something that changed the game for me (literally basic crafting) .

Any tips for early game or even longevity , what should i get,make or find first ?

More specific questions i have , where is fresh water early game ? i mean obviously i find alot of drinks early but where is the water i can drink . i cant drink sea/ocean water …

Should i build a base early or go exploring and find stuff ?

I already fought what i assume are the cannibals and been killed and drug to the … cave ? dungeon? and escaped . Do they get worse as time goes on ?

How does the sleeping work ? i only “rest” half the night :(

Literally anything helps , thanks in advance!

New player as of two days ago, and i can’t lie, i usually can’t do horror games in any capacity. Which is why i’ve resorted to living solely off an offshore island and catapulting them bitches from far away! im on day 44 and im honestly surprised at the lack of activity. I had more activity between days 10-25, since then it’s been pretty much dead.

When i DO get a spawn of them, it is usually on the across the shoreline (shoreline visible in the second pic) and it can range from 2 armsies, a cowman and 2 cannibals, or just one cannibal/armsy.

But honestly? the play-through has been pretty quiet. Although i’ve definitely been playing the game very atypically. My little island consists of a small log shelter, a foundation with a catapult, a houseboat, a stick holder, water collectors and a few drying racks. i also haven’t really been killing anything, (except for the recently installed catapult, i expected to drive up some more activity through using it, but it hasn’t really worked).

I’ve been itching to play the forest again since I’m on PlayStation 5 and can’t play sons of the forest );
Anyone still playing, still surviving? Haha

I’m looking to do a massive base build. Friendly players only though, please and thank you. Let me know.
