The Forest: Mods The Forest Guide

Last update: 28 December 2022

Different game modifications to sandbox games are sort of a standard today - some of the clever modders are able to come up with ideas, which the developers never dreamed of. Bigger, more interesting, and capable mods become a must over a time, without which it's hard to even play, because it's simply boring.

In this section, you will learn about the more interesting game modifications, but as of the current version of the game (0.02), there's not really many of them. To install a given mod, all you have to do is to download it from the creator's website, unpack it, and copy it to this directory: SteamApps\common\The Forest\theforest_data\Managed and the mod is ready! You now have to run the game and you can enjoy additional game content. Save the original file in case you want to play without the mod - you need to restore it.

In this section you will find descriptions of different mods, functions offered by them, and additional files, which are required to install for the mod to function properly. You won't, however, find any links to websites or forum topics, as it's really easy to find them, and as the time goes, links provided here will become inaccessible do to various reasons.

No More Birds

An extremely useful mod, offering an array of different functions, some of which were previously announced by the developers, but they weren't implemented yet. You can read about all the changes on the creator's website (or on the steam forums - you can find it on Google), but the most important are:

• Removal of an excessive amount of birds in the game, which resulted in a drastic reduction in performance, and the birds on their own are unnecessary, as you can't craft anything from their feathers.
• Saved games load times are shortened.
• A bug fix to tennis balls, which, after throwing a few of them, resulted in glitches, and a drastic reduction to the performance of the game.
• Addition of the creative mode, allowing you to freely build anything you want to (without the need of resources), and giving you a god mode.
• Improvement to the shadow system in the game, as well as the extension of draw distance, allowing you to see stuff (for instance, an incoming enemy patrol) from a greater distance.

The mod, at the time this section is created (version 0.02 of the game) is marked with a 1.4 number. The developer of the modification updates his work constantly, so you won't have to wait long for another bunch of useful stuff.
