Sons of the Forest 1.0 - Ultimate Beginners Guide | How To Have The Perfect Start 

Of course it is time to play it again!

Some games are meant to be played again and this game comes on that list

Great to hear!

You're so welcome!

Yeah like most of the people kill him in the start

Cool, thanks

Agreed I tried it as an experiment now I kill fish upstream and they float into my dam for collecting when I return to base.

Yeah, the more than update it is kind of a full release!

Glad I could help!

Thanks for adding

Indie studio I guess?

All the best

Agree!

Oh sounds genuine thanks for the help!

Agree the update is good imo

That's a great thing to add, thanks again @StreetComp!

@@alcineofficial thanks :) kinda funny the person who I wrote that book for didn’t say anything but maybe they got some help from it

My pleasure!

Yeah, but I didn't add that as people will get confused

@@alcineofficial No I didn't mean you made an excellent guide this was just my add on in the viddo

Thanks for adding, appreciate it!

Thanks man!

Exactly!

That sounds like a good idea that would make the environment more interactive!

Me too but will there be next one too?

xd

Lol good one

Both single player and multiplayer

That sounds good never thought of that

Like parents putting trackers on their kids😂😂😂

I fixed it as it was creating confusion, thanks for letting me know.

I had same thing happen to me and key was to start a new game and play on Peaceful difficulty for a few hours to learn how everything works - then once comfortable with it start another new game on regular difficulty. Absolutely have to learn all of this or your dead meat! How to use Kelvin to do stuff like collect sticks or make a quick shelter so you can save the game and sleep. How the minimap and health/stamina system works and how food and water and lack of it affects your health and stamina, how to map hotkeys and quickly switch between your gear, how to use the inventory screen to combine things into very useful stuff like spears and bow and arrows and torches, and how to open pouches. I’d then spend several hours learning how building things works. Open the building book and when it’s on right side it’s just instructions on what you need to do to make a fire or whatever, when book is open on left side it’s easier as just have to left click on whatever want to make and then place template in world and add whatever logs/sticks it says are needed. The key when building things without a template is that it’s all contextual - if have a stick in hand and look at ground you will see dotted outline of two sticks which means if left click you’ll break the stick in half, useful for building a fire, when holding stick and looking at ground right click once and the outline will change from two broken halves to a small circle which means if you then left click you’ll plant the stick in the ground. If you then get your axe out and look at top of stick you’ll see white arrows pointing in either direction - if left click you’ll bend stick over 45 degrees and sharpen it - now you have a basic defensive spike! If then pick up a big rock by holding down E and walk over and look down to spike you’ll see dotted outline at spike base, if left click you’ll place big rock there and that makes spike stronger! Hahahah woot, man that’s a lot of typing for a simple thing! After you learn all this and more, practice a bit and then start a new game and don’t waste any time, immediately find a good spot near fresh water that is defensible, put some fish traps in water or ask Kelvin to get fish for you, then build whatever shelter you want, big or small, but have to put a wall up around it leaving enough room so can build a fire and drying rack or whatever want and add some spikes like you see in this video 😅

Actually reading your post again you probably know most of what I said lol, but maybe that book I wrote is useful for someone

Man thanks a lot for this detailed insights, really appreciate it!

No need to pay again

@@alcineofficial thanks

what call of duty does to a mf

;-)

How is your experience playing it till now?

@@alcineofficial Excellent. Found people to play with. So I've restarted again, essentially on play through 4, barely made progress, where I haven't got a turtle shell, pot, or printer to help me keep clean water yet. Just haven't progressed that far. Did run across a golf cart b4 I swapped to a multi server

Why though?

@@alcineofficial I've taken a look (it had been a year or so since I'd really tried to play). It looks like the system has improved. I still struggle a bit with how custom structures like walls are set up now. I guess I preferred the old system from the first game where you laid out a blueprint of the whole thing. I know that had its issues too but I was used to it.

Ah, I see what you meant. Thanks for explaining!
