[@rogersowden2369]

THESE DEVELOPERS ARE INSANE, CAN WE APPRECIATE THE TRANSPARANCY AND HOW WELL THEY LISTEN TO COMMUNITY FEEDBACK!!

[@Makaveli13Xroy]

i mean they did that back in the first one too so wasnt expecting anything else from them ^^

[@thoviclp2195]

CAPSLOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK! Dont scream please. This is a nice place.

[@yothisgamesucks]

Yes yes yes. I am an endnight fanboy! They are AAA devs now!! Oh it makes me so happy. Never stop doing you endnight games! Loving the hang glider. Broadbent you HAVE to take one off of the tower! Please! Great vid thanks for the info on the update! Peace and love!

[@Hackanhacker]

An exemple to follow as game dev studio

[@vortexspinner4470]

But wasn't all this available in the first one?. Now it's the weapons NERFing (just like in the first one). A Glider.. it's in the first one, too (Albeit) A bit of a rougher glider... Gates and doors, yep! same as in the first. Next, boats! You may get a sneaky "outboard motor" left behind by killing that big "cannibal" instead of it exploding, when the next update arrives. You'll see.😉 Sorry, but the Devs are just doing their own thing. Completing this game as they go along. If they're listening, where's my Jetpack? Or Golf cart with Log trailer??? It's a good idea, and I did ask politely..😉👍👍

[@jmannUSMC]

Quite a big update, honestly I wasn't expecting so much in the first scheduled update! Good job Endnight and thanks for the vid my dude.

[@oab]

Same!

[@spacelevi]

I heard a theory somewhere that they had already a bunch of these features prepared to launch but purposely decided not to implement them on the 1st release. This way they gain more time to work on other stuff and keep the community happy

[@Nick-ld6nz]

@@spacelevi This is partly true; I know for a lot of the equipment and the gates specifically were just still being bug fixed to actually work properly. Endnight also stated just like for The Forest, they released it in such a state because they wanted to work with their playerbase to flush out the game. Like, in The Forest we wouldn't have had bows at all if the playerbase hadn't spoken out so much for one. The stick lock for doors I think is the first major one for the SoTF that we've seen from our suggestions.

[@davidgabriel5125]

@@spacelevi Yeah no way they could have worked on these features in such a short time

[@OneTomato]

@@davidgabriel5125 you may be surprise how many devs are working in Sons of the forest compared to The forest and how fast they have become true experience

[@nan1520]

the locked doors feature has to be my favourite 😂 at least now i feel slightly safer in my base

[@Murmurrr]

As long as the catdog doesn’t glitch inside my defensive walls

[@robbybobbijoe]

For me it's something I'll never use considering I have big defensive wall around my base, and whenever I'm actaully inside my house I'm there for 10 seconds tops to save or just store something.

[@ZIMsar10]

@@robbybobbijoe I don't have the game yet & yes, I know I am missing out .... but I have watched tonnes of Videos. Am I correct in saying, that Defensive Walls can be destroyed by Enemies & are far from 100% secure?

[@chrisdavison4915]

@@robbybobbijoe yes I've noticed they follow only you they won't attack if you are gone I have zips all over for quick access

​@@ZIMsar10 There's a setting to disable structure damage, and considering how clunky the system is I personally prefer to have it on even though I like challenges (playing on hard)

[@herb6000]

very happy to see a dev team that actually listens and cares. they literally fixed almost every single issue the community reported. but the game still has long ways to go. it really does need more content, but serious props to the dev team !

[@thataccount1]

Endnight have always been some of the best devs

[@TheOnlyKontrol]

Lets be real in this day and age no matter how much content a game has it never seems to be enough...I think variety is good but I also think forest does certain things that other survival games don't and bring a lot of fun ideas to a survival game that aren't always so realistic...the sled for example, glider, zip line, last game the turtle shell slide, traps...for me those things in a survival setting with friends brings hours of fun and laughs. More addictions like that outside of the box ideas to say is what i would like and is what this dev team seems to be good at.

[@Inshallahsiuuuu]

@@thataccount1 They really aren't. They lied about the release of the game rather than delaying it again because they knew they would get a lot of backlash for it. Instead they hid behind the guise of 'Early-Access' aka "let me release my unfinished game for full price and slowly drip feed updates until enough players have dropped the game"

[@rygyouwill5293]

​@@InshallahsiuuuuIf you dont like the game now nobody force you to play, stop whining and wait till the game is fully released

This game puts triple a games to shame

[@aubisraa7511]

of All the videos i watched on the SoF-Patch-01, this is the ONLY video that actually has the real video about the items and real in-game footage! Thanks a lot Broadbent! I really appreciate the quality of your videos

[@MattPryze]

As always! Broadbent has always showed footage in his update videos, even back in the old Forest. It's common for others to just show patch notes, but that doesn't cut it!

[@kieranc1085]

I love that they really listen to their players, it makes the game so much better

[@ppppw2]

they would be silly not too, opening week made them 70 million

[@hard1jsss]

Happy that now we can replace furniture and even get our items back, really a great feature. First Updates is a W!

[@frankobasa4599]

​@@colinmackinder5419 I think they finally shook hands and decided it was best to take down the videos, respect to the guys

[@choc0late_milk]

i wish it was a wing suit or something instead of the hang glider. it’s super inconvenient to carry it around, not to mention you literally cannot climb the mountain with it because your character drops it every two seconds. also the gps is completely broken while flying.

[@PkGaz]

What a great FIRST update. they're setting the bar high to begin with. cant wait to see what comes next!

[@larrybraham4884]

Awesome thanks! Looking forward to hearing and seeing more sir.

[@grimmangames7250]

@Broadbent FYI you can just use 2 logs, the peices that come off can be recycled and will fill the rest of the triangle, which makes roofing so very much better. Love the content you make btw, and I loved the stream from last night, keeps my bad nights from feeling too gloomy and it made my night.

[@philip6102]

Keep it up man. Love your vids

[@thespian44]

I like how you just get to the point in your videos. Great editing too. Thank you

[@nickh509]

Wish you could pick up any furniture you find around the map. Suit cases, bunker stuff, anything that can be carried out and brought back to base for decoration.

[@thinix396]

would be so cool to have a trophy room

[@sltrskid]

with how this update played out, i'm really excited for the next one

[@DorkoDoes]

Just wanna say I’m subscribing due to the way you handled things with vladd. Love to see it 👏 glad I did cause your videos are 🔥

[@ninjawatchdog]

The door building depends on the first plank you place i.e. left or right NOT 'inside or out'

[@Crumpman]

If they're going to make the cannibals and such stronger and weapons weaker, they need to decrease the amount of them that raid your base and the frequency of them raiding the base.

[@Researcher_Jim]

That was mainly for hard mode, and from what I’ve seen of hard mode it looks like a good change.

[@Crumpman]

@@Researcher_Jim oh ok. Thanks for the info

[@ImNotLieing00]

Didn't expect the door Lock to just be a stick💀

[@oab]

lol

[@young0cidy]

It's quite ingenious and cheap too. So it can be done easily. I like it

[@winggame008]

They probably going to change it once they have more time

[@ColonelKebabShop]

I mean you're not gonna make a bank vault door from a couple of trees

[@dylanwebster2656]

Experienced the standing on head falling through the ground bug with my friend. We definitely had a good laugh.

[@Boserup19]

this is SOOOOOO good am really happy they did the gate door in the first update

[@xKevmachinex]

like to see stone arrow speed increased, feels like im shooting a nerf gun at the cannibals.

[@kjhkj]

I think the range is also a bit short for the stone arrow. For a item that is needed to have it's a bit on the weak end.

[@realrabidraccof]

Very cool, thx bentroad

[@balkamp8888]

Great update, I'm a little salty about the shotgun, but whatever

[@KujiQuark]

Same here

[@actualartist3082]

they went for realism, and then made the shotgun.. not realistic with this update. Pretty moronic on their part

@@Kybx hahaha. the caves were scary asf

[@coolsk8ter888]

I look at it as more of a *survival* game, with horror elements sprinkled in.

[@Happymars24]

I just speedrun the caves. You can run past most of the enemies and get out with the equiptment you want. I enjoy the above ground base building and survival aspect a lot more.

[@Jack-lp4jd]

I kind of miss entering a cave and submerging from an underwater section to be blocked by 50 creepers and shit. Its fun because you can just slowly bait them to chase you into the water, where they subsequently drown.

[@user-yh5cv1vu9m]

This is an amazing update. Although I am sad about the bug fix for log summoning lmao

You can now split logs for firewood and put into your fire.

[@TheDrivingJunkie]

Hopefully we can get some of the traps from the first in SOTF like the dead fall trap and birthday trap. But nonetheless, Im loving whats in this update. And with the new building feature for the triangle spaces, you're not finished with your tower just yet 😂😂😂

[@chastox]

I dont think we're gonna get the Birthday Trap (because the Fly Swatter trap is just a smaller version. But maybe they'd make the birthday trap more powerful to compensate the cost.) But the Deadfall trap would be amazing.

[@otrupper4869]

Cool, they need at least 20 more updates of this size.

[@coolsk8ter888]

6-8 months of Early Access, means more than 20 more are coming. 🤘

Those “finely dressed” mutants are Edward and Barbara Puffton

[@pinguinusimpennis1978]

Maybe for doors orientation, testing that in a new save.

[@notflick404]

One thing i want if it didn’t get add is when you have a blue print just like in the forest when you die or leave the area you can still see it on the map where you in progress build is at because i died one time while building a house and now i dont know where it is and i am stuck on the bottom left corner with the material needed to build the house

What I've never seen anyone mention that you can actually see the pufftons jump out the window while they are still human, even before this patch. Happens very fast when you get close to the window but I was wondering what that was about before they added this fight

[@blob643]

I am still waiting for Endnight to put the "Build Wall" mechanic from The Forest because while I do love Sons of the Forest building mechanic, building walls is incredibly tedious because I can't properly plan out my walls like in the first game. I mean the game already have ghosts buildings for the prepabs so why not walls Just let me lay out the ghost walls first Endnight please Still love the game though

[@poko60]

They might have wanted you to make less of them I'm assuming with how a little advanced this game is. We might just get stone walls in the future Large defensive walls don't even stop cannibals, they will spawn inside your base or phase through the walls

@Broadbent I really enjoy your Vids mate, keep up the wonderful work with the Vids that you make. I have a question. Whilst it's nice to have a Gate on Defensive Walls, can it also be "Locked" like the Cabin Door? If not, then it's pointless, as the enemies will walk straight through it ....

[@oab]

There seems to be 2 fixed states. Open and closed. I don't think enemies can interact with it in any way

[@ZIMsar10]

@@ZIMsar10 It's not like a regular door. You don't open it by walking into it, you open and close it by pressing it. There's no reason for a lock to be added. And yes, enemies can destroy defensive walls.
