This was weirdly beneficial to learn about. Gives me a better understanding of their overall behavior. Can't wait until the sequel comes out! Not only to play but to have a hopefully consistent upload of your videos. Your voice was once a common staple to my subscription feed but now it's a rare jem. I do hope all is well and look forward to another

I've found you channel TODAY because of the "no eating and drinking" playthrough. Dude, how could I have slept through your channel for so long. Absolutely awesome content you have going!

[@coltforceplayer]

Today, bro today?

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

The way they continually stalk you is pretty terrifying, luckily there are dead spots they don’t really enter. It’s odd how they made it so you can spend a lot of time without seeing them despite them knowing where you are.

[@InductedMist]

Welcome back Farket! All of the knowledge you have bestowed on me over the years I've become the sherpa of my group of friends. They even ask me to help them get their friends oriented. Its good to see you back, we know you have a crazy schedule so its a great surprise to see you!

[@lowlandnobleman6746]

Thanks Farket. I’m glad you updated this. Really love how you’ll go back and talk about The Forest when you discover something new.

[@DarkKyugara]

1:40 From a point of view of a game developer, the way the patrol knows where you are constantly makes sense because facing the natives is one of the main game mechanics of this game. If isn't like that, the player would be able to avoid them, thus killing this main mechanic, and removing the danger that the game has to offer. There are two ways to do this, basically: The first way is to make the patrol roam around randomly, or make them aim at the player's location. The second way is to make the patrol spawn in an area around the player, which isn't very good because the player can feel the enemy spawned that out of nowhere. An example of what the player can do if they avoid the main source of danger is Hello Neighbor, the source of danger is the neighbor, that roams around the house looking for the player... But you can bypass this by bypassing a door that leads to the second floor of the house that the neighbor can't reach, thus removing completely the neighbor from the game, you don't need to worry about him catching you and sending you home, you can explore the house as much as you want. An example of a game that failed in making enemies spawn around the player is Cyberpunk 2077's police before the update. Since they didn't a path from the police, at any time the player goes against the law, the police will spawn around the player... Since it's ugly to anything spawning right in front of the player, things usually spawn behind the player. This information made people play with the police, looking at a small balcony with no way to get inside, giving the back to this enclosed area, breaking the law, and forcing the police to spawn there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYetpYZuqK9nZpo&ab_channel=dscottwilson In a few words, even if isn't realistic, the way The Forest did is the best way, they don't spawn around the player, they do roam around, and the player can't avoid them.

Farket video on the Forest, always a must watch

[@utuberaptor]

I just started this game recently, about a month ago. I discovered how much I love survival games when I played Subnautica for the first time last winter, and after finishing the sequel this was first on my list to play next. Farket, your videos have been tremendously helpful to me, and I'm excited to see you're still active in this game. About to finish my first playthrough, got caves 7 and 8 to do and then onto the final one, and I wouldn't have been able to do this without your help. Cheers dude!

[@leosanchez120]

Hey, Farket! I started watching you videos a week ago since I recently bought the game. I just want to say, all the effort and research you've put into this game is simply admirable. Thank you so much for all your videos. I cannot wait for sons of the forest to see how they improve the game and just some more quality content from you.

[@LilDeaks]

This is the only channel i will be coming to for sotf videos

[@otg856]

I am really looking forward to watching your Sons of the forest tutorials and gameplay.

[@JohnnyBigBaws]

On multiplayer the enemies target the host so if you're playing online just stay away from the host and you'll almost never see them. That's kinda boring though lol 😂

[@roykale9141]

and sucks for the host

[@geodude03]

Is there any way to change this/any mod to aide this?

Huh, thats strange because i am a host and i never get attacked but my friends always do /:

[@johnnystankiewicz295]

lmao im always the host and i build my base on the plane crash, i get attacked fairly often after like 30 days but my friend, the client gets attacked even more on the beach next to the yacht. idk why

[@Fwm_Jay]

Bro Farket is so helpful I remember years ago when I was trying to find out stuff about the forest I found farkets channel and he has taught me so much about the forest bro, he deserves so much more

[@anti7928]

I am playing the Forest for first time now.. Thanks to Farket i am still alive on day 43... This game is excellent....

[@Rykaas]

The way they designed the cannibal movements is to ensure a fair amout of encounters while at the same time making sure that you don't end up with 50 cannibals assaulting your base, which could very possibly happen if they just let cannibals wander randomly because then they'd have to increase the number of spawns to keep the same average number of encounters. I'm studying programming, hope my explanation makes sense

[@ZeroZillions]

Thanks, i been waiting for this since i started playing a couple days ago.

[@tdogbetheman9650]

This guy has made more confident and not terrified like I normally am base building is frustrating because you got maybe 5 minutes after waking up before seeing cannibals and I've noticed the groups are larger and there more bold the more days you play

[@ravensnflies8167]

a LOT of iterations of the game ago, like before they even ad the tower for the glider, i made a zip line "base" at the far right of the map where the water almost meets the sea. i built platforms to get up and stair cases to run up the cliffs nearby. then i had ziplines going as far as i could- at this time, i didnt know of any mod menus for stretching lines out. anyway, i made platforms and ziplines as far as i could, made my base with all the racks for drying and a bunch of shells for water- all that. the point of my base, though, was that it was wide open, and they dont really path up into structures, so if too many were hitting the walls, id just zip away. since they have no reason to just keep attacking, cause im gone, they stopped destroying my home and i could just make the "circuit" of ziplines back, and by that time, they will have moved on. i want to make this again but i havent gotten on in a long time. am i wrong in assuming that if i load that old version, it wont be compatible with todays version? it was really fun ziplining for 2 mins around the map and coming back to an empty area.

[@delsi26]

[@johnpearce9023]

From my experience, if the natives find you and place effigies, the effigy becomes a new waypoint and alters the patrol routes. Until a server/game restart.

[@kriskater]

What if you destroy the effigies ?

If i think of commitment i thik Farket and the forest.

[@CactusCanon]

I was super excited to see a new Farket video, welcome back my friend. I wanted to add: I think part of it is associated with the amount of cannibals you’ve killed. There’s this one spot near the top of the map that is GREAT for a small scale base and it’s outside of the patrol routes. I’ll go build up there and I won’t see a cannibal at ALL, the whole time I’m cutting down trees and building. However, once another player shows up, the cannibals are now nonstop. I think because the other player had been killing many cannibals, making themselves a larger target, and now I’ve had to kill them so now they won’t stop coming for me even if the other player leaves. I’m not complaining, I enjoy combat with the natives of the peninsula, I just thought it was something to note.

[@srspower]

They never patrol the fertile grounds. If you build at the very bottom you are near plenty of wood and the main camp but as you're separated by the water they NEVER come to your base.

[@rudenonsense]

Love this video, I think I’ve watched it four times.

[@NaoyaYami]

I'm pretty sure the enemies keep wandering near player exactly because of gameplay and performance reasons; it's not that different from how most other games do it (spawn and simulate only areas near player(s), despawn almost everything else). There's no reason to waste processing power on enemies on the other end of the map, though some games might still do that anyway if it affects player structures, etc., or if the enemy is wounded and should be kept in memory so player can for example go back to their body and avenge themselves. Keeping just small number of enemies active and keeping them near player makes the world seem much more active without making consoles choke on CPU cycles (because we all know The Forest was made with vastly inferior consoles first and foremost).

[@demturkeys1811]

Once they added rafts the game was mostly done for me. It's hard to wage war on your enemies lands.

Hold on a sec! The "enemy" actually cares that you murder their friends and ruin their land? Now I understand why they upgrade number and rank after each attack 😎 This is so refreshing after that disastrous experience with Fallout 4 😁 The jump scares are so fun, unlike the 💤 of Fallout 3&4.
