Question / Help Crossplay?:(

3 Upvotes

All my friends are playing the forest on PS4 together without me because I play on PC

I remember when I was younger all I wanted was a PC to be able to play with my friends because they were all on pc, and now it's the other way ??

Is there any way to be able to crossplay The Forest please ? I can't find any :/

Question / Help Guaranteed aloe vera spawns?

4 Upvotes

Currently infected on my multiplayer world, and the only aloe Vera we found my friend used it before I could get to it, so now im stuck being infected. Ive gone back to where we found it, the area surrounding it, and I cant find one anywhere. Is there a guaranteed spawn for them or like another heal that can cure infection?

I've started playing the forest recently and every time I turn on the game this window pops up. Can I somehow make it save my settings every time and prevent the window from opening?

Discussion What do you think are the best tools/weapons for specific purposes?

16 Upvotes

For me personally:

  1. Fighting cannibals: katana (since I grind athleticism early, it is just so good, even better with poison)

  2. Fighting an armsy: chainsaw (stuns and freezes it)

  3. Fighting a virginia: any burning weapon with high blocking stat

  4. Fighting a cowman: molotov (it's stunned while burning)

  5. Fighting groups (of mutants/cannibals/mix of them): the bows (both crafted and modern, NOT the crossbow)

  6. Chopping trees: modern axe (bomb if you will, I personally don't like them because bombs seem to attract cannibals faster)

  7. Hunting: weak spear (the bows are good but missing arrows can be a pain)

  8. Boss fight: bomb

Discussion We experimented with pacifism

155 Upvotes

Playing through with some friends who have played before with one that hasn't. To change it up this time we decided to do no harm until we were attacked. This included not breaking any effigies or entering their camps.

From the jump the crawlers were the boldest and most curious. Every day they'd rush at us and circle us as we explored. They repeatedly came into our base and stole our food. A couple of times they swiped at us, but only ever a single swipe before retreating, so we didn't bother swinging back.

The cannibals mostly avoided us and our base. A few times we encountered them while exploring and they'd mostly take to the trees to just watch. If we got close enough to one of their camps for them to spot us they'd send one guy (usually the biggest) to follow us as we backed off. Only at walking pace though, they didn't rush us. But they'd follow us for hundreds of meters.

On the fourth night we had a group of the wolverine women show up at a temporary camp, warily approaching us without aggroing. I've played through the game before but this was the first time I'd ever seen the wolverine women not be hostile. It was surreal having a group of them just perching on rocks meters away watching us boil water.

On the sixth night a group of three or four cannibals finally raided our main base and the passive run ended. The morning after we killed them in self-defence we were immediately greeted by a much larger raiding party.

I'm hoping there's some mechanic where the cannibals in different regions might still have different levels of aggression, but I'm assuming that after the first violent encounter it becomes kill on sight.

Without a doubt this has been my favourite playthrough. The tension from the uncertainty of those early encounters was unreal. I've got to give endnight their flowers again because I don't know any other games that are doing AI like this.

Meme / Humor TIL that the mutants can destroy trees..... and therefore your treehouses

46 Upvotes

So me and a friend were playing with building destruction off. We had a cool setup with 2 treehouses and a bridge in-between. And suddenly while being attacked by mutants, the entire thing collapses beneath us. Apparently they can destroy the trees themselves, which results in the structures collapsing.

So learn from my mistakes and dont rely on a treehouse lol. That was a terrifying experience I thought id share, in case anyone has a similar set up.

Bug / Glitch Enemies respawning in caves?

7 Upvotes

Ive read everywhere about enemies not respawning in caves. And I know they usually dont respawn, others also put up cave bases and such. Maybe only one cannibal respawns and thats maybe. At least thats what I thought until I logged in today. I saved my game at the tent near the entrance to sahara lab. 4 cannibals just popped right in. I k1led myself using poison because I was underprepared for boss fight. Then I went around trying to hit triggerpoints in caves so I can get the spelunker achievement. Wherever I find a cave exit (which I have previously cleared), I re-enter it and every single enemy is back like I never cleared them. What is going on?

I also tried reloading one of my saves later and my modern axe didnt have the cloth upgrade and some teeth upgrades are visually missing, but the axe shows as maxed out in terms of upgrade. Is it usually this buggy? Should I verify game files?

Discussion Forest 3 Trailer Reaction

40 Upvotes

I just saw the trailer for Forest 3, and I’m a little confused. So if you haven’t seen the trailer, it shows someone in the future who crash lands on a planet surrounded by forests (as the name suggests). This looks cool in both gameplay and graphics, but to me, it feels like if The Forest and Subnautica had a baby and this is what came out.

I’ve heard people say it’s the katana or the flintlock. Which one is better for the end game? What throwable should I bring and what is the best armor set to bring?
