Fix infinite item spawns.
You can reload the game over and over and every item will respawn.

Make air drop crates spawn once per day with items to help stock up. Cannibals can go check it out to give you something to fight for.

Let us find a solar power generator to charge a battery item once per day.

Allow us to craft ammo.

Uhh, yes actually you are. You're trying to get them to change how the game works to suit your tastes, said change would apply to everyone. Therefor, you are trying to force how you want the game to be onto everyone.

Also, it's not cheating. Cheating in video games is defined as using various methods to achieve an advantage beyond normal gameplay. Items respawning is intentional, as in, normal, therefor it is not cheating.

Lol, since when is The Forest a hardcore survival game? Seriously you sound like one of those people that act like Dark Souls is a hardcore game that only the hardest of the hardcore gamers are able to beat, when the reality of it is, literally anyone who is capable of getting past the learning curve is capable of beating them because the games aren't that hard.


So you think the devs made it intentional for you to reload over and over to fully restock on items? you think that is intentional game play? you think that it is fun gameplay?

ok kid

surely it was intentional.

just like surely they wanted the cutscene with the giant blob to repeat every time you go into the bunker. surely

Will there be antizin in those crates? Lord knows the folks at the tower need that antizin.

Also, are we gonna just ignore the fact that Virgina gets infinite ammo and become a walking turret???

Well, its early access, right? So they could find a way to make more ammo (air drop crates, printer and so on) without the reload. Make it even more realistic.
And I mean, you are stranded at a pretty much isolated island. How do you expect to get infinite ammo there? Would be like that in real life. And I think Endnight wants to go for a pretty realistic game.

Yeah, Virginia. Do you think thats a good thing about a realistic survival game? Having a npc with infinite ammo killing everyone so you dont have to do anything? idk

Realism is fine until the game stops feeling like a game and realism is being put in favor over being fun.

There is nothing realistic about eating dry ramen with a spork, there is nothing realistic about putting laser attachments on the TOP of guns. You cant just drink river water either like that and be fine. I could keep going and going, but you get the idea.

Choosing to die on a hill over respawning ammo is pretty wierd to me. All other items respawn too like wire, cloth, mres ect. Why is ammo such a huge deal? We can make infinite stone arrows and they kill just as well if not far more efficiently then guns.

When I think of the forest and sotf I don't think realism.

Don't talk about realism when you don't know what you're talking about.

How would air drop crates be realistic when something on the island is shooting down planes and helicopters?

How would creating ammo from the 3D printer be realistic when the 3D printer is just plastic and bullets are made of metal? Also, where you gonna get the gunpowder?

If Endnight wanted to make a realistic survival game, that's what they would've done.

This game was never meant to be realistic.

I tend to agree. The Forest always had a kind of gamey feel to it mixed with realism, but it always nodded to the fact that it was a game.

If they really wanted to be creative, they could add in a bullet press and primers / gun powder / lead and all that. But eh... might be a bit much.

I dont mean the ammo alone, every item shouldnt respawn. And is you said yourself: The bow is a pretty good alternative to weapons and kills little cannibals in the head with one arrow. You can easily craft new arrows and are fine. So make the ammo for guns rare, so you can use it against big and strong enemies and use the bow for the rest. Problem solved

Well I dont need the infinite gun ammo, Im fine with the bow. So idc about that. Sure, ammo crates and using the printer isnt realstic, then so be it. Make the ammo rare and use the bow for the rest
Rootiga Mar 4, 2023 @ 2:53pm 
it is not a bug, its a feature. you REALLY want to be in a game where NOTHING respawns? you will run out of resources after like 5 days.

how about an option to turn it off instead?
Z4000 Mar 4, 2023 @ 3:00pm 
I agree that it's annoying that every time I reload and go outside I can loot all the boxes I made my base near again. I don't think them respawning is bad, but maybe put it on a time interval or something less frequent.

Better yet, it should just be editable in your game settings how frequently they respawn or if at all. Still early access of course but it makes me consider building far away from boxes to not make it so easy.. I'd rather just build where I want/save where I want and the games difficult pace not get affected.

So what if you don't care if the ammo might run out? Your tastes don't apply to everyone who plays the game. They put firearms in the game to be used by people that want to use them, making it so that there is no more ammo for them at all is counter productive. And they're not going to do a massive change to the game based on what only a handful of people want. As an option, maybe, but they're not going to make it the standard way the game works.

Also, two more things for if you want to bring up realism.

Some random schmuck would not be able to craft a proper bow out of a couple of sticks and some rope, it wouldn't be powerful enough to loose the arrows with enough power to do anything more than a surface wound, and forget about penetrating the skull. Same with crafting arrows, the shafts have to be perfectly straight and you can't just slap a rock on the end and have it work.

And the people you're playing as are private security contractors, they'd be bringing weapons in with them, along with plenty of ammo both on their persons and in supply boxes, so there would be plenty of ammo to find.

It doesn't need to be a mmo, it has multiplayer.

Not looting an area again? how are you suppose to restock? the whole point of the suggestion i made was to give you a way to restock without cheating.

Keep your trash casual comments to yourself, don't play a hardcore survival game if you want to cheat your way through.
:steamsalty:
it wouldn't be in the game if it wasn't a feature. The games already easy without reloading.
yes, this game has no bugs and glaring issues, and the same goes for the last one

Add 3 options:

1. Disable item respawn
2. Disable ammo respawn
3. Disable enemy respawn

Then people could play how they like.

ok kid

The only one who sounds like some entitled rude kid is you ...

It seems as if you are somehow trying to boost your ego by playing a game everyone can play pretending its something only you can do ...

This game is a successor to The Forst 1 - its not that companys job to cater a game to you for whatever reason you think your that important.


Does the OP even own the game?! All of this sounds like a pretty weird troll topic.
