Cheat Engine

[FzySideUp]

I'm playing on my friend's server and we just want to sandbox really, but logs are a pain to get. I saw that you can use Cheat Engine to have unlimited logs in your hand. Will I get affected by VAC if I use this program?

Yes, only use in game commands - https://theforest.gamepedia.com/Console_Commands

Thank you

the forest doesn't have vac...
the vac icon on dedicated servers is some sort of bug.

devs allow cheating so you won't be catched anyway (unless this changes)

@Wariat

Even if that's true (sadly), I still would recommend to use the available ingame commands, instead of a 3rd party cheating tool.

Cheat engine is fine, and the forest is a modable game. Theres no vac

Indeed, but why using a third party tool, when the game itself allows commands for cheating purpose?

most of mods base on the ingame commands, that's why you can use them on multiplayer as client ;D
They just have better gui.

Instead typing "additem 279" you press button "spawn modern bow" and you get bow, while in game log says that you have typed command :D

I like writing.

Also it doesn't feel that bad if the game itself provides it.

A third party tool is a third party tool. ;)

The poor gui provided by game is a poor gui after all ;D
The "hide game to check ID on website" isn't good too :P
You can also ESC and listitems but the list is even poorer than the gui :D

Just be warned, do not leave it running on your system in the background if you play another game

@Wariat

Well, it isn't as convenient as the admin tool in Conan Exiles.
Still I rather prefer to use the ingame options than a third party tool.

you can check code yourself and determine whether it's safe or not

It's about as safe as steam
there were steam mods that messed with IP and stuff, it took some time for them to be removed (ARK survival evolved had such mods for example)
probably if anyone finds that modapi mods do something bad then they will be removed too~~ (would need to report to creator of site tho)
