How to mod The Forest
The Forest’s modding platform is a sort of all-in-one mod downloader, loader, and updater. To start with, you select The Forest from the list of mods atat ModAPI.
It will automatically select the base package to install. From there, you can select a mod or number of mods to add to your download from the list below. The most popular mods appear at the top, and you can extend the list with the ‘Load More’ button. When you’re happy, just download the package and extract the zip somewhere and run ‘modapi.exe’ to run the program. There’s nothing fancy here. You just tell the program where to find your game, enable the mods in the menu, and it’ll patch it with the new files.
If you want to add more mods, you can download them from their specific mod page on ModAPI and add them to ‘mods’ > ‘TheForest’ folder.
If you want to cleanse your game of all your tweaks just verify the files on Steam. It’ll reacquire any modded files, resetting the game for you.
Survival games are basically RPGs without the instruction manual. The fuzziness of The Forest’s logic is a deliberate decision to make everything you do fraught with peril. Even so, for everything Champions of The Forest undermines in the basic design, it adds a ton of ridiculous stuff.
A whole new inventory slides into place, with slots that make sense instead of having everything laid out on a tarp, and you can add hot keys to weapons and powers. Everything’s a lot less fraught, but it’s a lot of fun if you’ve played the game a lot and crave some nonsense. You deserve to have a shield a broadsword after everything you’ve been through.
It requires bothBuilder CoreandBuilder Menuto work.

I played the game exclusively in co-op, which means the opening fight of the game, where you’re dragged into a cave with a map and compass, doesn’t happen. This map mod fixes that, and more. It shows you the whole island. Pressing ‘M’ gives you an overview of the land, highlighting resources, camps and more. And it also shows you the movement of any cannibals and mutants roaming the area. It’s especially worth using if you’re restarting the game specifically to play alongside a friend. You become part of the world, rather than a lost and confused meal on legs.

If you have a pile of logs and a dream, No Limits Mod will allow you to build the size of building you want. From single poles, should you choose to celebrate festivus, to towering walls dragged up into the sky. And, of course, in between you can customise your own shacks or cabins if you’re creative enough to do so.

If you need more wood to build the OTT buildings I just mentioned, Tree Respawn lets you insta respawn about 10% of all the trees you’ve chopped down each time you press ‘Shift + R’. You can regrow your building supplies pretty speedily with this.

More Crafting drops a few, err, more crafting recipes into the game. There’s only five, but you can now turn a pile of leaves into cloth, or create sticky tape with cloth and tree sap. They’re just handy little tweaks that you’ll think fondly of when one of those floppy little mutant babies fly directly at your face.

Tides is an odd mod that adds life to the map’s water. The tides change every 13 hours, from high to low and back again. In doing so, it changes routes through the map across the beaches. Some of the usual routes are more accessible at low tide, whereas others are cut-off during high tide. A nice addon if you want to add some unpredictability to the map.

I have napping super powers in real-life, so having the cooldown in game really does bug me. With Inner Clock you can sleep, and therefore heal, without having to wait for the sleep timer to reset. It also lets you specify how long you sleep, with a range of four lengths.
