►6 Recommended Base Locations | The Forest

Was requested by ScuviT to make a video on some of my favorite / good base locations, here is that video :D! Feel free to post your own favorite locations, maybe even let others know why you like it~ :)

#1, Beach: theforestmap.com/#334.4,1304.8 1:07
#2, Lonely Rocks: theforestmap.com/#92.2,1095.9 2:35
#3, Red Cliff: theforestmap.com/#-663.3,1508.6 4:16

#5, Rivendell: theforestmap.com/#999.5,-431.5 7:05
#6, Geese Lake: theforestmap.com/#690.8,340.8 10:18
*Bonus*:
#1, Cannibal Village Take Over (any house as shown): 3:46
#2, Opposite of #4 (above list): theforestmap.com/#-1279.0,-260.3 6:36 (both sides of this valley could be used)
#3, not shown in video: theforestmap.com/#1251.9,306.5 . These containers can be good, but fire mutants, and explosives if they're added back, can hurt you through the container - so this ends up being less fun later in the game lol (but great until then). The island across from here isn't bad but I prefer the other island I showed in video next to #3, Red Cliff as it is closer to resources.
*Updated Notes*:
-Teleporting benches have been a bit nerfed since this video, but as of typing this the catapults have similar functionality as what used to be for benches - and you can use those for now... Till it's patched at least lol.
-The beach is a bit more active than when this video was first made, so be aware #1 will have more enemies
-You can now easily build in the giant trees, they're indestructible and immune to fire, way better than normal tree houses
-Water now kills enemies that enter deep enough for "swimming" depth, this makes lakes and island bases even better
-It seems that most of the eastern beach front, including #3, has low enemy activity - #3 continues to be a really calm spot
-In my Christmas video (last half) I show building in the giant trees, as well as two other goofy tips: • ►Merry Christmas, Subs...
Leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions on this video. I'll do my best to answer or listen!

►The Forest | My 6 Best, Favorite, Base Locations

[@benbong4577]

Me and my friend built a huge base hanging out on the cliff of geese lake. I chopped down a tree in the opposite direction of our house, but it gliched out, began to spin, fell on top of our base, and then the entire base just exploded, and all the wood and everything fell into the depths of the lake. 10/10

[@cyyusgamer4089]

[@synckingz9953]

DUDE I know, if you watched typical gamers playthrough, the same thing happened

[@bucket1902]

That’s hilarious lol

[@llthll]

That's why you should cut down the trees near your base before building houses/traps/defenses

[@noahhulbert1565]

I can’t bring myself to play this game with buildings being destroyable. I’m too picky about my builds to let them get wrecked...

[@LordBurgerofFriesland]

I'm a strange kind of Forest player, I do normally build bases, but most of the time I'm like a nomad, just wandering around building little secluded camps and then moving on again just exploring, hunting and killing cannibals :P

[@FetidBobo]

:D, I think that is one of the reasons why they made the tents and temporary shelter options - let players play their way (within reason lol). I would say it isn't the most normal choice but I think its still an awesome one, I sort of wanted to do a hard mode nomad let's play to see how that would go. No bases, only the most basic structures.

Geese Lake is my Goto for a small starter base - it's a very beautiful place.

[@hanswurst7638]

yeah. you can also dive through the cave entrance in the middle of the lake without a rebreather. set your colortemperature to "Texas" to see more underwater ;)

[@herrhornbuckele5227]

I think building on the cliff to the sea is ideal. You see a lot towards the other side of the sea and you have to build only one side of defence. Also there is water available and you're not too far from the Catana

[@Zapp_Lightyear]

I'm building a huge base on the cliffside of gooselake. My buddy has a base on the other side and my main base is expanding into the forest so we figured we'd connect them and expand to the cliffside. Great location though.

[@bernardabajc2308]

I think the Best location is living next to the plane that you crashed in it, cuz you can go on the plane again, canibals and mutants can't. Then you have a lot of food near the plane, so do you have suitcases. Food and suitcases reset when you rejoin the game! This is the Best location for me at the moment (o)

[@drunken_masasura13]

Same that’s what me and my friend did cause there’s tons of resources minus turtles so thats about the only thing we have to go find when we need them the down side is they can jump ontop of the plane unless there the really big ones I think

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

@@drunken_masasura13 we have a pretty compact but dense base around the plane and then the main base quite far away, with zip lines going back and forth

[@MkE89]

4:29 i use this place as my base, its the best! i built a custom platform on the cliff with a house on top n stairs going to the beach, no cannibals or anything gets on the beach, its 100% safe and turtle as mentioned in the video do spawn on that beach too you just need to wait a minute for em, not to mention the near by village is loaded with goodies soda, dynamite, red paint, suit cases, cloth, skulls and the modern axe cave! which is also has the big stock room for even more goodies! you cant beat it (oh and you dont need to walk logs down, just sit a log sled at the edge of the cliff and take em off 2 at a time and dump em off the edge, pick em up when you have dumped like 40 of em)

[@gumru5915]

I build my base there too, and therere are deers down the beach too. I had 3 at my base :D

[@asherino7769]

Its not 100% safe but its like 90% safe, really rare but me and my friend were playing and then a couple of canibals and virginia spawned there

[@MagicalMedic]

I usually make a small, dense tree base around the ring of tents southeast from the Cannibal Tree on the northwest coast. I ring those tents in with walls because they're save points. Building here puts you directly on top of a pot spawn, so I'll save the game, build a sap collector, reload and repeat. The trees are REALLY dense, making it possible to build an entirely elevated camp here and string platforms across the forest to key locations. I usually leave about 20 meters of thick trees untouched around the base. I like to think it protects my camp from view, because I like to make lots of skull lamps for ambient lighting. Bonus, there's a fish pond a few steps away you can also ring around, and connect the two so you never touch the ground. I essentially live like an ewok in a spot that sees high activity (but my base proper is rarely bothered), is close to the beach and caves, and near the highest density of plane crashes for when your friends join.

That island where the turtles swim onto is where me and my friends built our base. Just build a dock extending to the island and add stairs at the base and you can run log sleds all the way over. You also get the turtle and bird spawns. Plus plenty of relatively empty land to build farming plots and you can make plenty water catches. Also the cannibals won't really notice you at all

+Fetid Bobo me and my buddy made a base on cliff, after the last update, our base was now fill of rocks and now apart of the mountain again.. You can still see the light from the lamps, inside the mountain.. Becarefull building close to mountains cliffs.

[@FetidBobo]

Oh, which cliff #3 or #4? The devs change the terrain a little sometimes (trees have moved before), less now than before (game is still in alpha), but its possible they close an area off intentionally or just to improve the area. Sorry you lost your base though :(

[@TeggyGoneMad]

Fetid Bobo ehh not sure, it was in the snowy areas.. No worries, we just made new bases. I found out having more bases makes it more save, cause when you stay the same place for longer periods of time. they come in bigger forces.. but if you move around they wount.. Ofcause the most save place is building a pier to one of the island near the beach and build out there, as the cannibals cant swim, and the big ones, that comes after long time of playing cant walk true 3 meters of water.

Fetid Bobo No worries! And thanks. I actually have some questions, i hope you don't mind if i take my time and think about them for a bit.

[@cloudstone123]

I built in Geese Lake. What I did was build little dock and a raft with log racks on it to build my base on a raised platform in the lake away from the rocks. So there is a lower platform on the bottom where I store dried meat and an area to boil water, and the raised platform also puts a wall around the lower platform. Then I built stairs that go from in the water up to the actual two story base with the first story being for my general quarters and general storage and the 2nd story being partially open to the sky where I have a garden and some water collection turtle shells. So I have everything I need there and there is a small pond nearby for fishing plus all the animals wandering by. Then I also built a defensive wall all around the lake with 3 doors so I have 3 ways in. This way there are not random cannibals left running around in the water which was annoying. There is no way for them to get into the base unless take down a section of the wall and they learn how to use a raft or to swim. It all took awhile to construct but it was worth it. I had set up a tree house near the lake to rest in while I was doing the build to avoid the cannibals at night. They didn't present much of a problem during the build. Another benefit is that geese lake is basically in the middle of the map. I just built treehouses in the four corners of the map for when I am out wandering and it is too far to get back to my main home. I really think what they should do is randomize the map on first creating a game otherwise this will all be too easy. There really were too many good reasons to build there.

[@Shadow77999]

my favorite location is right towards the beach from the crash site where theres like a tall fishing post towards the sea, its a nice quiet beach, cannibals come sometimes but its not of a big trouble, besides theres baggages nearby and tons of turtes and seabirds for feathers :D

[@teddyboyefc_0810]

Sameeee

[@Trisquit96]

my friend and I built on geese lake. we built 3 tall houses in the middle of that lake and we enclosed the whole thing in with walls. most defensible place in our game as of right now. one of our best builds too. good video man, really enjoyed it.

[@FetidBobo]

+Triscuit96 ^_^ Thank you, and that is awesome! It is a really high potential location, if you made a video or took some pictures feel free to link them to me (here or personal message) I would be very exited to see your base :D. Thank you for watching! Let me know if there was anything you wanted to see :)

[@pulatelephonics]

6:00 this is where me and my friends have our current base. It’s honestly pretty good, especially when you get a zip line set up to the area across the cliff. Plenty of wood, lots is stick and rock spawns, village right nearby and not to far from others, and it’s easy to protect aside from the top cliff which can be rather expensive. Best part of all is the cannibals rarely even come by, despite a village being within eyesight

[@Tetratronic]

I'm glad you mentioned the Geese Lake. In my experience it is easily the best place to build. I've built my base at the center of the lake, big house, have all sorts of structures, unlimited feathers from geese, luggage beach is just a bit beyond the waterfall rocks, plenty of animals, film crew camp to the left (easy flares) sinkhole is near, access to a couple of caves if you need them (not including the one in the water). Strangely enough though, I don't get a lot of cannibal activity, so I kinda have to go hunting for them if I need bones.

[@suprsham7838]

i built on geese lake and had to travel far to get luggage items until about the 3rd time i started the save the plane was somehow moved and was right beside the lake giving me all the luggage i needed.

[@njmfff]

Gotta say, I really like all your bases. Anyway, my save messed up with last update, so I had to start over. I found a really good location. It's near the cave where you find katana (in latest update). It has pond (infinite fish), bit further seems to be deer spawn point (infinite meat\hide). It has natural mountain passage with four good spots for tree platforms (all four trees are on the edge of cliffs), so it's easily protected from front. There's also a plane spawn (start) nearby, so if you get lucky like me, you can start your game from there. Overall, it's really good natural spot for defense, with lot of space (especially when you chop some trees), with almost infinite resources for meat\hide\meds\booze\cloth\etc. Check it out, it's literally just few feets away from katana cave (latest patch).

[@lurkenskanal405]

[@Oriolebird9]

Fetid Bobo anytime man! A weird thing regarding directions, I built some defenses and the cannibals only come from one side, the valley across the river from the 2 cannibal tents. I cover the valley's opening with traps and I've barely had any trouble with cannibals

[@FetidBobo]

Wow, I'll check that area out - that's interesting. I thought looked fun but in the video I was trying to make sure that areas had some sort of natural defense available to them (making them significantly easier to defend). If the cannibals largely ignore that area it could be a nice open space!! Very neat!

I actually built my most recent (and currently my largest) base near Geese Lake, right next to the Film Crew camp to exact. After watching your video I haven't considered expanding my base into the middle of the lake until now!

[@FetidBobo]

:D nice~! A few enemies can jump, so if you notice too much raining Virgina and babies you can build up a little bit (anti leaping in walls), but in my experience so long as you don't coax them to leap at you they'll just stare greedily from the shore. (Coax = stand near them, at a place they could jump to - if you stand farther away they'll just sound pissy all night hehehe)

[@spqrx0908]

Geese lake is easily my favorite base I’ve ever made and I built huge walls Around and made a huge 2 story cabin

[@nathanharper6713]

My spot is near one of the potential plane crash sites, if you look up the map then you can see the kettle islands off the coast. If you make it there keep following the shoreline in a W/SW direction until you come to a river follow the river until you see flat land to the right and go there. That's the spot. Pros: Freshwater lake nearby Small cannibal camp nearby Cave where you get the katana nearby Main cannibal camp short walk away Lots of animals everywhere and in the small freshwater lake there are always fish Cons: No natural defences other than building it on the edge of a tiny cliff Across the river there are always cannibals in that part of the forest 20 likes on this comment and I'll make a video showing all this stuff!

[@neonblaqk666]

so where that video at ? lol

[@ryguyrc8029]

Video time!!!

[@anotheruserism]

that is often called fertile lands. It is mostly only the mutants that you need to worry about as regular canibals don't come near.

[@lennertoss6497]

Amazing video!Although the game play more than one year and I know all the places I have lived all you've done a pretty good job with video.

[@FetidBobo]

+lennertoss BG :D, Thank you~ and thanks for watching! Let me know if you had anything you were interested in :)

[@iampandabot]

whoa very useful info! Great video! :)

[@FetidBobo]

Thank you :) Just a small warning is the devs have made cannibals more active than before so sometimes an area that is out of the way or hard to reach is better, like Red Cliff or a base that can't be attacked (water bases). Feel free to ask me any questions~

[@phasetwodirtscooter3880]

Man don´t stop what ur doing, only seen this vid so far but it´s really good. Soon the subscribers is going to grow like hell. You will be big man believe me. I have 1 question thought, my PC is kind of lagging in the forest, not much but I can´t take it, i´ve played the forest since it came out do you know any good PC for a good price?

[@FetidBobo]

+PhaseTwo DirtScooter :) Thank you! If you watch my other videos please let me know what you like or if you want to see anything else - this will help me grow into a big man :D. As for PCs, I can definitely try to help - I may not find the best deal but I believe I could at least give some ideas!! We can talk about it here, or you can PM through the about me on my channel / through twitter. I'd ask first if you want to build your own PC or Purchase one, then things like computer knowledge and desired budget. Of course if you already have an idea you can target question me - I'll try my best :).

[@phasetwodirtscooter3880]

+Fetid Bobo I want to buy one, not build

[@FetidBobo]

+PhaseTwo DirtScooter Haven't really seen any good PC deals yet. . But just so you can start to look too (thought I might be able to send a nice deal lol), I'd check some suppliers like cyberpower or ibuypower, occasionally Amazon or Newegg will sell prebuilt PCs at an okay price. If you have a costco and you're not a big fan of things blowing up and you being stuck, you can get decent warranties (like 3 and 4 years) without much of a markup. Although with costco your graphics card wont be a focus (you'll get an okay GPU). I've seen great deals near the end of the year, or when products shift (new GPU out, older ones get a price drop). Dell/alienware isn't a bad check but at least in the past I felt Alienware added more than normal mark ups for pre-built machines cause they could. May have changed now. For gaming you generally don't need to look for many cores but more to better capability of a specific core. Because most games don't use many if any extra cores, so the game load will be usually only on one core, or two. (So a hexa core CPU isn't going to be vastly better than a really good few core CPU). Just keep in mind the speed rating isn't a tell all, you can get a really old CPU with a nice number and it won't technically be as fast as a newer core with the same number (most likely at least). More cores is great if you want to do video editing, rendering, or some sort of predictable activity that is easily made multi core, but otherwise more of a novelty - 4 would be plenty. For a GPU you'll have to decide whether you want to upgrade soon, don't care about low settings, or if you want to splurge and temporarily future proof yourself. 980TI should carry you forward for a few years. However I do want to say that there can be a HUGE difference in power between say $100 card and a $200 card. It sort of grows really fast from there though, can easily spend $500 on a high end card. Stereotypical what you'll hear is Nvidia will charge a bit just for being their stuff but will have better driver support (partly because a lot of the stuff they do is proprietary/designed in a way against AMD, so AMD has trouble using their special code) and AMD offers a bit more for the price. There are some important aspects to MOBO and PSU but it depends a lot on how much you're willing to spend (try not to get a terrible no name power supply (PSU) because while their job is simple, it is super important lol - but you dont need to get crazy amounts of power over what your machine needs (if you use 400W you don't need a 1000W PSU)). SSD is an amazing feeling and I recommend getting a computer with an SSD OS (they isntall it on the SSD), and then a more regular HDD for storage, naughty pictures, stuff like that. Can help more with a price range. Also depends on where you are located (Country wise). Some sites will be more helpful/open/closed to you. www.cyberpowerpc.com/

[@FetidBobo]

+PhaseTwo DirtScooter Oh, just cause I linked cyberpower and other sites do this too. Liquid cooling is another thing that you don't really need, that they'll probably try to push onto you. You'll definitely want to make sure your CPU is getting some sort of temperature control (like a fan) but if you don't want to bother with that stuff (changing liquid, cracked pipes, stuff like that) and you don't intend to over clock your computer... it's just more work than needed (liquid cooling can be super quiet though). Getting a decent heatsink fan for the CPU would be more than enough. Again depends on what you get, some CPU will never work hard enough that you could just air it lol - but you probably wouldn't get the gaming experience you want with that, my CPU is air cooled with a nice fan/heatsink, and is quite happy but I don't OC it.

[@lemonjuice6015]

Near the final lake you mentioned there is some coastline with shipping containers, two islands off the coast there with deep water. cannibals cannot reach you and moving resources via raft is easy.

[@VegaGaming0]

Lemon Juice This is what me and my friend do with the large raft. Putting a platform to add extra log carriers or stick carries. One island devoted to storage and the other becoming a lodge for extremely comfortable living. Putting some docks and a bridge between the two islands. Even when cannibals throw things they are yet to reach us.

[@ooglepants]

well done. like the run-down of pros/cons and what a base could look like before/after. thank you.

[@FetidBobo]

+ooglepants ^^ Glad you liked it ~! Thank you for checking it out!

[@MemeKing44]

hey i really like the production quality and aerial shots in your videos, excellent work. also the news helicopter intro, was classicly awesome! most dipshits will watch that, pass it up, and not even blink twice. it was golden how-ever.!! epic-sauce!

[@FetidBobo]

[@dajordanator]

Kinda disappointed the news bit went away, made me instantly interested in the rest of the video

[@Landonnnnnn]

Me and my friend built in the clearing right by the lake with the cannibal camp and it’s such a nice place with the beach nearby

[@af1303]

It was nice of you to show the coordinates of these locations, because i know this games map like the back of my hand

[@KevinLeong3012]

My best location is at the clif with the big tree. Rarely cannnibals attack me at night. If they do, it will only one or two will come.

[@Legomaker60]

my singleplayer base is there

[@Priuloch]

but mornings they reck everythgn

[@FetidBobo]

Over time the devs have made the cannibals better at spotting and finding the player, Red Cliff is still pretty good but the beach is a little harder to defend now. It still has some strong benefits but maybe requires a slight change in behavior. (Cannibals dont attack your base when you are away for example, so not afking in your house is a big help already).

[@hieulamquoc4531]

my base was attacked by the mutants while i was away. :( what is going on?

[@a.j108]

Mine too

[@PRASANTKSAHOO]

best place for me is beached boat red cliff -huge space to build -no cannibals (unless you go too far) -at least 2-3 deers -turtles come to shore every morning (so I can make a water collector) con: -sometimes it's too difficult to climb up the rocks

[@FetidBobo]

Thank you :), you can fly and a lot of other stuff with: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZe3oniwe7eDrKs (ModAPI), video acts as an intro and guide on getting ModAPI

[@ScoopexUs]

+1 The Forest is a beautiful game for sure with lots of nice locations to build at :) My tip is to not build where there are "few enemies" but to pick location only from resources and your own ideas of what you want to build. Because they will get visited after a while anyway, and if the spot is secluded so it's harder for them, it's harder for you to get to it too... I regard enemies as flies that you swat when they interfere with what you want to do. If you build in the middle of Round Lake as here, they'll be there. So just go by ideas and resources, and the further north you go the fewer the resources. I built smack in the middle of a Village and there was no difference in enemy activity... so a safe spot is just no difference. If you pick a spot with cliffs or oceans on two sides, that just means two less sides for you to reach your home and they can cut you off. 6:50 you can't drink the water in the lakes, just from 1 of the two ponds up top. Weird and annoying.

[@FetidBobo]

When I get the chance I go back to older videos and see comments I haven't replied to yet, you've made a good point about eventual activity but I would like to add that Red Cliff is bit of an exception here - I've had and heard of saves going past 20 (even 100 days) and the activity is incredibly low. For some reason they do not visit there, and it remains to be one of the best low activity spots through any time period (like one or two cannibals a day, tops, sometimes zero for a few days). That's why I sort of recommended the lake spots.. they can be higher activity but the cannibals avoid the water, and in a recent patch they now die in the water so its like.. even better lol. And you're right, lake water is terrible to drink but you can boil it :D. thanks for the detailed reply mate~! Always like to see people trying to help out each other (and myself) :)

[@giannissp.785]

ScoopexUs Guys I need help i am new in this game ...canibals took me to their base cause I lost in battle then I escaped run into a beach which I am good there but what I have to do to protect my self?What I have to build?

I made a base in the plane, the single worst mistake of my life

[@FetidBobo]

+Andrew Middleton haha, well for the worst mistake of your life I'd say you've done pretty good so far :D! But yeah plane-base is a bit rough, a plane outpost might not be so bad though ^_^.

[@michaelkeller5927]

A second base by the plane is a great idea for multiplayer.

[@R1coR]

Awesome base spots dude! Gonna use them for sure! And nice base builds, never would come up with those :)

[@FetidBobo]

+Rico-Renar Reenumägi :3 Thank you! Glad the video can be of use ~ Are you talking about my two base videos (mountain base, and Laputa base)? :D thanks~ I try to make them really different, push what you'd see in the game. Maybe people can get more reasonable ideas from them, but at the same time be like Huh.. I wouldn't have expected to see that. I want a little surprise lol. My hope at least, :D. I appreciate it ! ~

[@mega000ffowo6]

This was pretty well done! And it helped alot aswell :p

[@TheError404]

I really liked the snowy lake spot. If you build on the other side of the lake and don't run into their patrols, cannibals won't even notice your base. Lots and lots of rabbits, squirrels, deer and birds, fresh water supply and the only problem that I've encountered was the shortage of sticks (they are much harder to get in the snowy areas) since you need more of them to keep yourself warm. A few of the cannibals saw me gathering wood near their patrol routes and after slaughtering most of them they never came back. As long as you do not build too far, you don't need any traps of effigies

[@ruskispy648]

[@retrofox255]

i think building near sinkhole is great pros: you have easy access to sinkhole(you need to find the glitch) easy to defend near a lot of herbal resources like mari gold etc. you are near 2 cannibal camps you have a lot of rocks cons: there is not much food and sticks cannibals sometimes use the place as a path when you cut trees it looks terrible

[@JonnyGamingYT]

The sinkhole is full with deers on PS4 i don't even need to go hunting they spawn all the time in front of me

[@Hugo_Balls08]

@@JonnyGamingYT wait really? I actually never noticed that

[@dont_give_a_flying_f]

Built my first base at the beach near the crashed yacht. Since then i have spread out building small bases around the map giving me places to go to when dark that are closer than my original base.

Fetid bobo, thank you for the info! I just saw a trailer for this game and I knew I had to try it. So I bought it on Steam when it went on sale! but my gosh did the cannibals and how you "revive" scare the living hell out of me! XD I knew I needed to find some good info if I was going to get anywhere in this game and boy was I happy to see your video first!

[@FetidBobo]

Welcome to The Forest :D~! Glad you found my video helpful! Let me know if you were looking for anything else, I have a lot of video guides and have played for quite a while so I can likely give an answer :)

[@emilfalk561]

lol me and my bro started playing and built three of these base locations without have seen this video

[@lukaspopelinsky7665]

The beach is my favourite only once i encountered 1 cannibal near there.

[@rjan7714]

What beach are you on? I encounter like 5 armsy's, a day at least on mine

[@__tyr__]

Nice video I like the music and locations

[@FetidBobo]

Thank you! Glad you liked it :)

[@XombieKiller]

Your building skills are flawless.

[@montenegroatthetop5967]

dude my base is in place 3

[@FetidBobo]

That's one of my favorites :D, first area I found where cannibals wouldn't require me to start a tree sap farm in order to build something.

[@montenegroatthetop5967]

Fetid Bobo yea just later it get harder to get threes there but its good

[@FetidBobo]

That's true, sometimes I built small log catchers at the bottom of the hill so I could just throw stuff down - there is a bit of back and forth, especially if you use the island later. But its one of the safest and well placed areas still, even though this video is quite old - only thing I'd really like to change in this video now is that lakes are safer due to killing cannibals in water and the beach is quite a bit more active than it used to be.. otherwise it's still pretty accurate. If you have like steam screenshots or whatever I'd love to see the base :D

[@montenegroatthetop5967]

Fetid Bobo i dont but o will send you in weekend also nice place for base is next to airplane not for place but you hawe a lot of candy and stuff

[@FetidBobo]

The respawning suite cases are very helpful~ But candy will also make you a really big boy lol, I made a video on it.. its a little confusing so I'll probably make a "just do this to not be fat" video soon too, but: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH21aGN3aciNaac tl;dw, Soda and Candy always add overeating points even if you're starving, meaning you will almost always gain weight when you consume them. haha. It's not that big of a deal, but if you were going to play for like 80 days or more then if you eat right you'll get a lot of strength, and that means you'll be getting like 50% bonus damage.

[@MarieAmeliaFreyaAster]

wish there were drawbridges in The Forest ;-;

[@FetidBobo]

Ooo, that would be really neat! What if the cannibals are smart enough to run the lever though? That'd be scary/awkward lol. I wanted a pulley / lever sort of system to make a cliff-side elevator (to bring a bunch of logs up and down, perhaps even to be used in tree houses and a base built on the mountain). Dragging a log sled backwards up a mountain, or bouncing on stairs is a bit goofy lol.

[@MarieAmeliaFreyaAster]

Fetid Bobo you cant say cannibal and smart in one sentence .

[@Raez_XL]

I'm a new The Forest player so my base is a little noobish. Its right next to the plane. Lol

[@FetidBobo]

Haha that's alright ^_^. For a while the shell of the plane can defend against almost any attacks too~ Just be careful the Molotov cannibals can attack through it and that's really rough :(. The reason why I didn't recommend the plane in the video is because the cannibals will always check that location out first, and it is in random locations so some locations it appears in are actually really bad others are quite good :).

Human is the best foodsource in this game. I think I willbuilt a big trap in the main Village to have enough bones and meat

[@OverLord-fx8nc]

For me the Peninsula is the best defendable position. Yea it takes a little bit to get logs and such up to it but totems usually spawn (rocks, sticks, and cloth) along with twinberry bushes (poison) and lots of rocks also spawn up there. Once you build a wall the place is practically impenetrable due to the cliffs.

[@yfytgfjhgkjhg]

One of the best games EVER! In fact this might be my all time favorite game. Im asking Endnight Games to PLEASE make more like this with a lot more building options.
