Makes ypu paranoid as fuck. I hear a rabbit or a lizard zoom past i shit and instamtly turn around. One time i was just chopping down trees and i heard foorsteps, thought it was just a rabbit of somesorts. Anyways i finish chopping down the tree and i turn around to check what it was then bam! It was a dam mutant with like four legs (i think they call em spider mutants or something), scared the life outta me aye. And for some reason, once i spotted him and his mates trying to ambush me. The cannibals went fourth with the ambush but then the spider mutant just... backed off, like legit started backing up slowly. Thats made me paranoid as fuck for the rest of the in game day ahaha.

[@blackmage1276]

@@ThatGuy-sw9ic the spider mutant is called "Virginia" or "Legsy" sometimes. The one with the arms is called "armsy", the fat big rhino one is called "cow man" or just rhino. And there are two other mutants though they are very late game, the worm/sausage mutant and the spider mutant, which is like an actual huge spider

[@atomus89]

I think, the removal of trees disrupts their natural movement. I dont play on any kind of creative mode. The families ive observed, at times interact with the trees. Several minutes, of one or two sitting up in the branches. Ive witnessed a "leader" climb a tree, and suddenly die. The single female who was with him, stood by his corpse and made fearful sobby cries, until she spotted me. I know the trees are "in the way" if you want to record their routes. But if you want to watch how they naturally move around day to day, the trees need to be there.

7:40 in and I noticed, 2/3 times the cannibals were praying, after they were finished, a bird landed on your character's hand. There's a lot of info going around about how this is a warning sign of an incoming raid from cannibals, however I don't know if it's true or not. For me, it's mostly been true, every time a bird lands on my character's hand, a raid happens at my base minutes later.

[@Farket]

+Conson SaW I think you maybe right with this. I will have to test it. That is some awesome observation there. I never even noticed that.

[@monsterbash9758]

The bird just lands on your hand when you've been sitting still a while. It probably happened in the video because while they were praying would be one of the only times he'd be sitting still to watch them a while.

[@wisemantellsyousomething1134]

Monster Bash is absolutely right! On my very first day, I had several times a bird on my hand from the very beginning! Because I didn't know the game at all, and was checking it out, just waiting in fear many times.

Thank you for this great job, thing is if you build in some where they don't usually pass in the map they will find you eventually and come to you, then some patrols paths will be change and get random paths.

[@Farket]

+Beshr yeah that is true. They'll always find you eventually. I don't think random paths exist, from what I've seen so far. They would spawn with purpose to find you.

[@beshr317]

Farket btw.. canibals are the reason that makes this game good one, they are the most amusing part. i found out that when i tried the creative mode, i missed them although i thought they are the annoying part of this game before.

[@alexanderelfpmek]

Farket my friend and I builded a base in the Nothern part of the map, and we hadnt seen one canabil yet there, but then we cut down 10-15 trees and they were all coming, i think on the first day there were like 4, then 0after that day we build a Tree house and there is begans, since then every day (4days in totall) there were fucking us up, every minute there was 1-8 it was so frustrating that we builded explosivs and blowed the hell outta them, but it wasnt enough ...

[@vantazel]

The first time I played, no clue what I was doing. I was looting the plane at the start, I started looting the suitcases, got back in the plane, they spawned, I attached them, they killed me then I came to in the cave with the map. I was only playing maybe 15 minutes when the spawned. I realized then that this game has no mercy.

[@cutehamster7676]

My *theory* to why they build effigies is to mark territory between tribes, to scare rivals off, and/or to mark where they patrol. Basically to assert dominance. I've noticed how around day 14 and around my base, they started to build effigies at the same time I decided to put effigies up myself. In other saved worlds, I've noticed how the cannibals would put up effigies nearby my base. Upon taking them down, I've also noticed cannibals don't show up around my base as often.

This god simulator seems really cool

[@mendeshc]

Nice work Farket. I read the other key part video ideas you have listed and they're all interesting. I'm pitching some ideas you may also be interested in presenting within this series: - effects of hostility on patrol routes and numbers - effects of being seen with red paint on patrol routes and numbers - does weather affect cannibals in any way? - how do cannibals interact with crocodiles? - does destroying the effigies they pray at have any effect? - do cannibals detect you only visually? - does deforestation(less trees or tree stumps) affect cannibals or cannibal routes? - do dead animals or dropped meat affect cannibal routes or behaviour? - can fires be used to model or distract cannibal patrols and how Looking forward to your next ones. Cheers.

[@Farket]

+Myon Cheers :) - Its hard to tell their hostility. On day 4 or 5 a lot more cannibals started patrolling.I think towards the end of the series I might build a big base and see what happens. - I don't believe Red Paint will affect it but I can give it a go. I think i might test the red paint and hostility levels. - Weather has no affect from what I have seen, they act the same regardless. - Cannibals and crocodiles ignore each other. Cowmen can kill crocodiles and other animals though. - I am yet to destroy the effigies they worship though, that would be interesting. - Yeah they have to see you. Sound alerts them but that have to see you. Sometimes they are looking at me but their behaviour stays the same, usually when I go near them. - Deforestation and tree stump removal has no effect on their patrol routes. - Cannibals ignore dead animals. Dead cannibals will affect their routes, I will show that in one of the next videos. - Ill test the fires. That's a great idea. Thanks for putting in the effort to write out those questions, some really good ones in there I will check out. Cheers

[@mendeshc]

Farket another question popped up: can meat racks alter routes by themselves? Seeing as they are programmed to steal from them, they should provide reward to the ai and maybe you could avoid interference with it, as some sort of tribute :p Cheers

[@theriveracis5172]

Was wondering why I was getting swarmed... Turns out I built in literally the worst place of all, going by your route markings. It was right by the landbridge. Terrible choice. Lot of bones, though

[@ernestogastelum9123]

It depends what kind of gameplay you prefer. A very active one or peacefum

[@flochforster6892]

Me and a couple friends played through this about a month ago and I had no idea the cannibals had patrol routes. We just assumed they knew where we were at all times because we played up to around day 50. After watching this I realized we built camp right along the path of one of their patrol routes. Crazy how the AI can be so complex. I like that you can see them building ephagies, adds more human traits to them when they’re otherwise feral. I also like that if one of them is killed in battle, the others will mourn their fallen comrade.

I know that video old but i just want to say , i started 3 times new game in the forest and i always put my base in that lake (2:50 from the video) and i noticed that its the safest spot to build meaning you are in the water and only the flying monster can touch you. The spot is good for resources too: trees ,sticks , berries poison mushrooms for arrows , a lot of rabits and lizards near the lake, poison berries also, aloe good to .... and you have rocks on the water so its easy to start building... also i used ziplines to go in and out of my base...perfect :) Farket i really enjoy your videos , and the ones with calm building are so relaxing....i hope one day you continue with "sons of the forest" :)

[@dachshund_gaming]

Maybe they have intermittent sprints because it's an efficient way to patrol a large distance that saves energy. Maybe they have stamina like the player

[@dolanboii3153]

Amazing video man, its really interesting i dont like to use cheats on anything on these kind of games but its great to know things like this, i've previously built a base on the land bridge unknowingly and this explains as to why we got attached almost none stop!!

Hi Farket and The Forest community. I have a question that has not been quite answered. The Question is what happens when you Sanity hits O% Is it not a thing in the game as of now?

[@Farket]

+Takashi Haruki I am not 100% sure. I believe you start hearing cannibals even when they aren't there. Ive played with 0% sanity for about 30 days before. Didn't notice anything different.

[@eggrollsauce]

My game also has been buggy lol, or maybe DUN DUN DUNNNN its the result of having 0% sanity. But what the bug is that i have invisible cannibals with masks on that my friends can see running around. Can't hurt me nor damage them, only my friends can. they alsi Scare the living daylights out of me bc you don't see them nor hear them come.

[@eknim]

you could also have removed all the trees with typing 'developermodeon' on the main menu and then pressing f1 to bring up the command window. then type 'cutdownalltrees'. you dont need any external programs for that its in the game files itself

[@Farket]

+Eknim yeah that's how I did it haha. Would take too long to do it other wise. Stump removal wasn't so easy though.

[@LifestyleEmpowerment]

I can definitely confirm, that walls stop them. In my current playthrough, I have a wall where my house is about 50 meters, they just stop at the wall. My base is located on the hill to the far east 2/3's down on the map - in your map-notes you don't have any routes going to it, which is consistent with my experience so far in the game. It seems, because it's so far up the hill, they often don't come there.

[@cescolino1992]

I built on the beach right next to where he said there were patrol routes of 4 cannibals, and right next to that there was a patrol of 5 cannibals. Luckily i made a boat so when i was attacked by a horde i pulled out with all my stuff. Mostly use trees to get around. The only positive thing about me being there is that it is rare for me to find big monster mutants. I only come across regular cannibals and regular mutants. Easy to kill but still a pain

[@wondersofivan2338]

Late to the party question , but ..i tamed the regular ones , like they let me close and be quietly togheter because i am not into slaughtering them ( lol ) ..but still skinned attack them so regular tribes go back being aggressive the day after it ..only to forget about it some time later ..if i scare the skinned by killing some of them ..will the regular ones feel it as aggression ?

these guys actually confront you with a moral dilemma. you invaded their island, and attack their people. they aren't inherently evil. .they mourn their dead and try to save injured family members when you attack them, and they even react to certain members of their tribe dying.

Skinny cannibals are the opposite

[@keanuortiz3766]

I think the trees affect their movements, one time I chopped a tree and a cannibal was above it and it jump on me, afterwards I've been weary and spotted some on branches just watching my base from a distance

[@shakybill3]

I would LOVE to see just following a route, maybe place some things to see 8f they react to them even. Place stimuli and all along the routes

[@monsterbash9758]

I build on that eastern beach near the big island (I think you said you don't like that spot). I notice cannibals come down along the coast from the North but idk if it's a patrol route you've missed or maybe it's the one that's created from me building up a base there. I usually build a deadfall trap right where they turn East again toward my base at the edge of the rocky area.

Out of curiosity, do the different cannibal types (Pales, Masked Cannibals, Skinnies, etc) have any difference in patrol loadout and spawning? Because I've noticed pales tend to be found in smaller groups then the Tribals, as well as tending to do most of their wandering at dusk and night. I've commonly seen single pales (upright ones) walking along a shoreline or in the forest in the middle of the woods

For somebody who's into anthropology this is very useful.

[@Farket]

+Jessica Jayes haha it is quite interesting isn’t it.

Seriously. In my group I’m the one that observes the most. I didn’t attack them for the longest, only my group. And they wouldn’t attack me but were afraid of me. Soon enough I only had female cannibals follow me and occasionally attack me.

Same here (late, I know). If I hadn't have chosen to into Game Programming as a degree, it was going to be anthropology to specialize in forensic anthropology. I'm still interested as hell in the AI for my degree purposes though.

This game has incredible AI. I'm just starting to play, and love watching all these videos. It's kind of depressing that I was years late on it, and you're not really playing it anymore.

I mean he’s still playing it but he’s mostly keeping up until the second one is released in Jan-feb

After the bases ive lost and the low ball crap they've put me through, im no longer stuck on this island with them, they stuck on this island WITH ME, the only thing i wish now is that their bodies would stop despawning so i can savor the view of my work against these little bastards...

My favorite thing about the AI in this game is that the enemies are so smart, and the turtles get stuck on the shipping crates and just keep trying to move forward as if that will fix everything.

[@cescolino1992]

Normally if im playing on harder difficulties, i make my main base a boat on a beach with a ton of traps so that in case i get attacked by a horde, i can just leave with the boat without losing any stuff, and since they go looking for your bases and sometimes go in the base and wait for you to come, i build many different structures across the map to throw them off and they end up going to the wrong base most of the time. I still get attacked but i have to deal with a lot less than if i just do one base. And if you want to avoid fighting big monster mutants (armsies, cowman, ect) Dont destroy effigies to avoid spawning armsies, and dont destroy too much nature ( cutting down trees, killing animals, breaking bushes ect) to avoid virginias and cowmans. Hope this helped

This game’s AI is simply amazing. More games should follow suit.
