BUILDING IN A CAVE! Sons of the Forest Episode 6

[@Kiiraku]

I love how you're making the whole map your playground, rather than stay in one spot. Always makes it fun to watch

[@escape2880]

This game is made for you Broadbent. I am so excited to see your creativity man.

[@bradlyharris7487]

​@@infinity2223 are you good? Took it way too literally lmao

[@stevenf4457]

There's actually a really good cave for building a cave base. It's a little ice cave up in the mountains on the opposite side of themountain from the spawn locations. It's a bit unique because it doesn't have the interactable crevasse entrance so you can actually build log structures in there instead of just log furniture, and you don't even need to do the zipline trick since it's just an open entrance. It's very cold and a bit cramped, you could maybe fit a one story 2x2 with a flat roof inside, but it's just a single relatively flat circular room and not too much debris other than one skeleton and some respawning wooden crates at the back which don't really mess with the vibes too much.

[@Badkieed]

I’d like to find this, where exactly is it?

[@stevenf4457]

@Benjamin Parent It's marked with a cave icon on the gps and it's like halfway up the mountain, but that's all I remember, haven't played in a little while

Love this. Can’t wait for you to take the building to an extreme level. You’re awesome!

[@patrickblind998]

I really loved cave bases in the original. The chainsaw/missionary cave was tall enough to put down a floor and still have plenty of headroom. The one on the beach by the snow biome was big enough for a two story structure in it. Added bonus of every time you came home, all loot respawns meant always having rope. food, cloth and flares.

[@Lazarus-aap]

I respect that you turned around when you entered that part that you shouldn't. 🎩👍🏻

[@RamzUchiha]

lol at 11:15 you were a few short steps away from the chainsaw

[@onlyashadow1121]

cave on the east side of the mountain might be good for building, its just a roundish open space

[@maxwell5247]

Imagine having a giant ballista loaded with crafted spears in Sons of The Forest

[@FatherOfConqs]

That was one of the things I really hoped was expanded in the sequel, more options for an active defense. (Unless I'm forgetting something) the only one in the first game was the catapult that felt really underwhelming, the rest were traps

[@llyhjkkkbyeet6006]

dude you gotta suggest this on the community page on steam, great idea tbh

[@maxwell5247]

@@llyhjkkkbyeet6006 I will suggest it, indeed. I hope they will approve it

[@maxwell5247]

@@FatherOfConqs you are right. the only active way in The Forest 1 to put cannibals' lives into past tenses is a Catapult, Traps are passive-agressive

[@30FSch]

You can build rope bridges! it takes two ropes, and needs a structure on each side, but yea, and those looks pretty good, and cannibals can't use them

[@alueshen]

Much easier way to get logs in the cave. Build the small shelter (the one with logs sticks and rocks) and you can hold "C" and remove logs from the blueprint. It takes some practice to find the right spot, but it can be done and you can pull 50 logs in about 30 sec

[@brieb402]

I wonder if they're going to rework the caves. They don't seem like the scary threat that seek to have intended them to be.

[@AFKin]

The shovel cave and rebreather felt ok but the other ones feel like they are rushed, i also hope they re do some of them and spread the gear out a bit more

[@Hello-yx2ux]

I’m pretty sure all the caves that are just one room are gonna be expanded cuz the first game didn’t have anything like thsy

[@radiantone5158]

@@AFKin the shovel cave has literally 75 enemies. Bit much.

[@trulapopara1949]

bro i can't wait for new episodes this series is so good

[@cornishkap5848]

Broadbent: this cave is sooo easy oh my god Farket: *internally screams while uttering very loud complaints*

[@RyannTM]

This is where my group built at on our play through and building on the lake during winter is sickk

[@tenou213]

Whoa, that cave home is looking cozy. I don't know about keeping too much in there given a single patch might wipe it out though. I tried the bridge thing too but turned it into a huge cannibal trap over time and zipline everywhere instead.

[@oab]

Makes sense!

[@R3TR0923]

I actually live in that second maintenance bunker with the fire axe, it's a pretty good base for me

[@agaming3919]

Keep going through the caves. They're endless and fuckin amazing. They're rich ass spas and indoor mansions, malls it's stunning

[@coniarekt9655]

Me and my friend built a base on the island and a bridge, you can do that by building a tower under water near the island and then from there its pretty easy.

[@parkerault2607]

There's a small cave next to the big lake on the far side of the island that doesn't have anything in it except a skeleton in an arm chair. Perfect for building a small cave base like this.

[@bushguy9710]

You wanted the chainsaw but you went away from the mall that holds it

[@MrBrightEclipse]

In terms of getting logs in a bit easier, maybe see if you could use the auto storage function of the log holders. Build one on the inside of the cave and see if it suctions logs from the outside (either by Zipline or by throwing by hand)

[@thebatdrone8656]

This is the best SOF series I have found. Please keep it up.😊

[@pickledcauliflowerdragonhunter]

since you can use prefabs. can you throw a say log cabin prefab down and build it and then take down the logs you dont want to make walls? Then depending how its coded you may be able to build on the floor that is in it

[@IluvRRsws]

When Broadbent got shoved into the void was so funny

[@BeatOfAngelx]

just get 1 log in the cave then do the glitch to get infinite logs inside. You place 1 log down horizontally then use a stick to lift it, once its done just bump the structure, it will breaks and 1 log should come off the ground, then repeat the process :)

[@illiacvie]

i don't think he can put log in ground, because manual building mode didn't work.

[@BeatOfAngelx]

@@illiacvie oh my bad!

[@quietleaf]

I feel like the amount of enemies in caves and throughout the island kind of kill the thrill factor. You just get used to them instead of it being a scary encounter.

[@sltrskid]

honestly yeah, there used to be like one, two, maybe three mutants in a cave from what i remember, and now it feels like there's dozens of them in each cave. those finger guys and the twins especially.

[@windex6842]

consistent uploads>> love the long time dedication ❤

[@dh86able]

You can simply throw the logs into the entrance and then enter, you should get the E pick up command if you look back at the opening. It’s pretty easy.

[@BeagleChalaegi]

Urban planning for the cannibals. So thoughtful for real.

[@cptnchaos4212]

@broadbent What if u tried firing the grapple from inside and anchor it to the far wall inside the cave, at that point u should be able to put the logs on the line at the entrance which would send them right in (I don’t own the game so I don’t know if it works any better or worse but I wanted to point it out as something to test)

[@dacraka5476]

Love the 20 min video! Great content, 30 mins would be even more amazing. Cheers man!

[@thomaskirsop5397]

the Cave NE of the plane crash site (air strip), where the southern flowing river starts. Very nice for a cave base Infact you could build a pretty secure wooden base right in front of the cave entrance.

[@MrJayOkane]

You're spoiling us another episode. Gosh. Whew. Great content

[@keepironman14]

Chainsaw is in the 3d printer bunker near the zipline gun cave. Any unmarked cave 'entrance' is generally an exit.

[@o572a3]

The Sipline is not necessary. You can just go to the entrance with the logs and drop them so that they get stuck in the entrance. Then you go in the Cave and can grab the logs

[@mataasen2534]

As an idea for cleaning cave hit items with melee to one corner and build a something in front of them to hide them😉

[@samgrannon6810]

really enjoying these videos dude, Keep them coming please!

[@Nate2crush]

for the bridge at the very end you can create a special entrance only you can navigate by utilizing the new wall and enforced wooden spike setup. there is a youtube video out there on how to create the entrane so that all mutants and cannibals will run right into the spikes and not be able to go around the wall properly due to their awkward navmeshing

[@ettubrute_]

The jank reminds me The Forest during beta, lol! Glad the old tricks can still work.

[@greenspacematt]

I have been using ziplines and log holders to automate my 'logging area'. Placing a zipline horizontally just above holders' means they snap into them as they move along. Maybe having a holder just inside the cave may snap them into the holder?

[@RyCryst]

I found a cave up the mountain I think near the downed airplane where you get the leather jacket. It literally has a couple skeletons in it and nothing else. Its pretty flat and doesn't go to far back. I wish I could remember where it was at.

[@hScuz]

You can install a build anywhere cheat/mod to allow you to build in caves, been doing it myself. Now i don't know if it allows you to build in every cave though.

[@BradHUD0]

Maybe if you could glitch through the map like what happened with the mutant.. you might be able to build where the cave would be. I think it may be possible because of the way you can see the blueprints in the cave.

[@chromeswitcher]

place the Log flat then add a stick to stand it...then just knock it off to fall down to double the log available for Host

[@goldrivers598]

Lol the chair to get out of the glitch was really smart

[@HernanC226]

if you manage to place a log you can lift it with a stick and push it walking, it dupes itself

[@lileofficial4273]

You can put traps on the bridge, iirc you don't trigger your own traps in this game. Worth looking into

[@silas.evangelen]

This series are the best!! Go keeping on!! 🤗😇

[@sltrskid]

the chainsaw is located in the 3d printer cave, marked by the green beacon below the rope gun cave. you have to use a keycard to go through the door at the end of the hallway on the left, and after enough exploring, you should come across a mini-theater room and there'll be a guy with the chainsaw stuck in his head

[@BrentDnD]

He was actually already there where he could have picked up the chainsaw when he went into the cave exit.

[@thatguy4456]

There's a cave in the mountains that you can walk straight in, no doorway, large center room but flat, but I do wonder if they limited the building in said cave or not because it does not have that front door you have to squeeze through. Will do some research real quick.
