Survive The Forest

[uksoldierboy]

Managed to almost build one log cabin, then had CTD , really enjoying it so far, for me though it desperately needs the save game fixed.

I cant even collect stuff - I ran around for a bit, saw some tribes people and bug set in that constantly swung the axe up and down - so I just headed for the tribes... then died

Anyone know how to view all controls???

Doesn't seem to be anything online, I did have a play around with as many of the keys as I could yesterday only found the basics.

E to interact
C to place food onto a fire
B to open survival book
I to open Inventory
L to start lighter/torch
G to Drop item
Z to sleep in a shelter

Ctrl to crouch (not toggle)
Shift to Sprint
Space to jump

Within Inventory:

Right click to begin crafting if possible with that item
Right click to take crafted item
Left click to use/consume

I think that's actually all of the actions possible so far.

The caves go pretty deep and get damn scary in the dark.

I've built one log cabin without getting attacked, but it takes quite a long time and around 20 trees to be chopped down. At the moment it's probably worth just building the hunting shelter as there's no furniture you can put in the log cabin yet, however you can put a fire and hunting shelter inside the log cabin for a nice cosy house protected from the elements.

Haven't tried any custom building yet, but I can imagine that one would be able to build a pretty large and impressive settlement/mansion using the custom walls, stairs and such.

Does save/load not work then yet? I dont like playing for an hour then having to do it all again

 

[nitram100]

Nah not yet, not sure what's taking the devs so long. They've made a fair bit of cash on it already so I'm sure they're motivated by now. Or maybe they've buggered off to the Bahamas. I only played once, not loading it up again until save is implemented.

^ Ta.

Do you think multiplayer will be available? i.e numerous people on one map trying to survive or one group of people as tribes and one group as survivors. That would be pretty fun

 

[Phantom Shadow]

Only plans for multiplayer at the moment are to add a co-op mode so you and a friend can survive together.

Just had pretty good go, managed to build myself a cabin and a berry garden, also learnt how to make explosives

Did that log holder work for you? I made one but the logs I put in it just rolled around and ignored it.

 

[uksoldierboy]

Did it hell lol I had the same issue with logs just rolling through it, the little gardens work fine though, had plenty of berries growing.

One issue I did notice is fps drops dramatically while cutting loads of trees and building my cabin, from around 90fps at the start right down to 25fps before I quit.

This looks really interesting; I think I'll download it but will try to refrain from playing until they've patched the issue with saving - can imagine this would annoy me otherwise.

Were you pressing the correct key?

You use C to place instead of G to drop if I remember right.

Tried that, but it wasn't even giving me the option to press C.

I watched the trailer for this yesterday and thought it looked like one of the scariest games I've seen. Is it actually any good?? is it a normal campaign/ story mode that you complete? or is it just a random on going thing?

It's a common glitch. Log holders didn't work for me either. Also fires sometimes only allowed me to cook food on them once

 

[El_Watcher]

I had a glitch where the flare gun and axe became linked so that every time I switched between them, it would drop another one on the floor, so I ended up with flare guns strewn everywhere

Plus I put some food to cook on the fire, but it then didn't give me the option to eat it once cooked

I think as long as they develop this in the same way and rate as Prison Architect is going, it should develop into a nice game.

I get loads of stuff like this. rusted axe combine with the red axe you get at the start, glitches with lighting. I came out the cave and it suddenly went from pitch black to day

How come you can sleep in the day and wake up at night, but not sleep at night and wake up in daylight

You wake up at sunrise, if you sleep and it goes black for half a second & wake up at night, then sleep again, screen should go black for longer and you'll wake up at sunrise if you give it a few mins.

Waking up, turning around and there being a tribal directly in front of you is **** scary!

I had to sleep about 10 times to get back to any kind of daylight.
