Dear Farket, I have been following your Forest content for many years now. I have never encountered a community that reignited my passions for a game the way this has. A lot of tough days were ended with me discovering some mechanic you found in the game and calling my friends to try it out and build nice towns throughout the map. Thank you for being the perfect distraction through what was my hardest chapter in life (so far). Cheers to you.

[@matthaeusdecuiavia8637]

I don't really agree with the stew point. They should rework it a bit, but not remove it. Making a stew is basically one of the simpliest ways to make yourself a big portion of a good, warm meal, so I don't see why it shouldn't be possible in survival game like SoTF when you've got a pot. It could work like a waterskin, so when you've got a pot full of a stew, you can use it several times, before it gets empty, or gets spoilt (which could be prevented for example by boiling). Besides that, a solid list. I cannot wait for the future videos 😃

[@Farket]

Yeah, I actually agree with you on that. The system would have to be expanded great and be more concise in my opinion.

[@jacob8858]

@@Farket add that there should be an in game way of learning recipes as I find it frustrating having to google how to learn certain recipes in games because the information is either hard to find in game or not even there.

[@naotoPL]

​@@jacob8858 Yeah they could add a cooking book of some sort, and stews should have some special effects (for example - lower stamina consumption for 5 mins) so they won't be outclassed by normal cooked food

[@tomfoolery1123]

I think the stew recipes would be fine if they just had them "in game". My problem was having to have Farket's wiki open on another monitor (which a lot of people don't have) to know the recipes... In fact there was a lot in the game that you couldn't find "in game" and had to open a wiki (or a console command).

The main draw I had for the first game wasn't the survival mechanics but the mystery and suspense of not knowing what was out there. discovering the lab for the first time was so surreal. I hope that they really put effort into the story and expand on the lore a lot.

[@damnsonwheredyoufindthis.3830]

For me it was both, the story while simple and told in unconventional way is also surprisingly good. Uncovering the secrets, realizing what actually happened to the plane and depending on your end decision you'll basically come full circle, except instead of being in a crash you cause it and become the red/orange cannibal we saw on the beginning pretty much, basically doing a full loop but whoever survived failed to rescue their kid, assuming they survived the crash ofc

Speaking of the grass, I have to think it is actually a super simple solution. I think this is a Unity game. Those look like standard terrain painted grass to me. They could just turn it off under all buildings that cover it and turn it back on if you destroy the building. You can alter the terrain data at runtime.

[@arjix8738]

"the forest" is indeed a unity game, dunno about "sons of the forest" tho

[@MediumIRL]

Such a good vid man, as a game dev these are QOL fixes that could be easily implemented over maybe a week or so by one dev and we really need more people who know about the little fixes that would really make the experience that much better. Just little things that take long to actually find as a playtester but coming from you, it was made so clear what kind of solution you would expect. Game studios really need to make use of content creators for easy fixes like these.

[@EEE-pv2eo]

A big thing that I think needs to be in the game, is walls need to exist even if they aren’t rendered What can happen is if you build a wall in a far off point and it’s not rendered, cannibals will just walk right through it, this was such a huge oversight and it needs fixed

[@yourneighbourtodoro]

The amount of times I've walked from one side of my enclosed camp to the other to find a cannibal, or sometimes a whole group of cannibals, have spawned through the wall is too many. It robs the player of the sense of accomplishment and relative security of having built walls (sometimes for hours in single player) in a way that breaks immersion and makes me go, "Well, what did I waste my time on walls for then?!"

They speak about the complexity of the systems in this game... Honestly, I can't wait to see how in depth these interactions go, and how far we can push them. From the dev talks (what little we have) it sounds like they built the game to fit the new AI systems rather than the AI to fit the game. This interests me greatly... We already had the taming glitch in the forest for only blocking cannibals, I hope we can push this so much farther now.

But it's really stupid that if you enter a cave look at it, leave that place and go to a village the loot respawns, the rags respawn.

Add an invisible timer so it takes a few day for loot to respawn

[@freewings2188]

Stews would be cool if they give you some passive buffs like hunger and thirst taking longer to drain for a day or Stanima drains slower and or recovers faster

[@ozytastic]

Honestly I think this list sums up a lot of what us players want from Sons of The Forest. Something I'd like to see is better fishing, the big main river/lake in the original feels so barren and pointless because you can't really fish. Maybe adding an actual fishing mechanic, where you can build a fishing rod or find it like all the other tools and weapons. This way you can sit by a lake and actually fish and not have to wait for them to spawn which was something at least I had issues with. In the original, a lot of the little ponds never had fish spawn on one of my playthroughs and it just seemed very picky about whether or not fish would spawn at all in certain places. That and adding more marine life to the ocean, the oceans definitely are very barren and give no incentive unless you want to farm turtles that wash up on the beach. They really should add more "life" to the ocean surrounding the island, give us shipwrecks, planewrecks, maybe even a few caves, some tiny mini islands with some items or even structures, dolphins, sharks, fish, and various other marine life. Make the ocean feel like it's another part of the gameworld and not just the edge of the map. One disagreement I do have however is when it comes to the whole loot respawning after reloading saves and entering/exiting caves, (this is a bit biased as I personally liked this in the forest because of how much it saved me.) Don't get me wrong I do agree it is very easily exploitable, players can just build their base right next to the main cannibal camp and they're golden for supplies. Even more if your plane crash spawn is the one right next to the camp it's even more exploitable since you can get meds, alcohol, food trays, and soda from the plane too. I feel like a good way to make all players happy is they should have a setting that allows players to enable or disable it. That way players who actually enjoyed the respawning loot from reloading saves can still have it while players who want that more immersive feel can just not have it.

[@CommandoReptilio]

If/when this game comes to console, I just wish for a brightness feature. Sadly The Forest missed a lot of settings vs PC (which is okay) but it could be tedious to go under water to find those parts because we just couldn't see anything. Thats all I really hope for 🤞

[@zoroark522]

For me: 1.) Fix log carts (super janky and flying all over the place) 2.) UI option that displays which building piece is damaged when holding the hammer so I don't have to just look at every piece 1 by 1 3.) Cheat mode disabling achievements (A lot of people just cheated everything and it makes doing it legit less rewarding) 4.) More homesteading (breeding animals like Valheim, advanced farming like Rust, or better base building like Rust) 5.) More audio horror like distant screams in the night that try to make you feel like you're in a very dangerous forest (Makes the moments of safety feel all the more cozy as well) The game did a great job with it's dynamic of homesteading/exploring, similar to Minecraft, where my friend went off and had fun exploring and scouting places to go into together while I enjoyed making the base and a farm. The achievements were also very fun to hunt for because most were reasonable and just took some dedicated effort or gave some more gameplay time like needing to go find the water cooler or spend way too long trying to get a duck head. The skull lighting also made the game infinitely better and I would love some more options for that because they single-handedly made the base a home.

Really liking the video and the few bits of memes you threw in there :) A bit of constructive criticisim: You mentioned, that you are going to make 2 more videos, one beeing about things you'd like to see in the forest. While you started every new section with what you don't want to see, it transitioned midway to things you'd like/love to see instead (More ways to wash of blood, Motion blurr is off on default as an example) which leads to a bit confusion if you just scroll through the single chapters, since at first it seems like you don't like motion blurr beeing off.
