How do you open the console?

[MagosOblivionus]

Ive been looking online to figure out how to open the console ( ive tried -console in the start option) but how do you actually open it.

[2High2tell]

As far as I know you can not, and there is no dev tools or cheats you can access. What is it you are trying to achieve?

[MagosOblivionus]

im trying to remove the cannibals/mutants for a while to just have a little bit of casual gameplay. i know the console sommand for that is veganmode. the reason why i want to do this is becuase one of those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ snuck up on me and scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me so bad i almost pissed my self.

ahhhh OK This one I can help with, there is no console, as in when you typpe you see nothing. when you load in and before you get into game just type veganmode you will not see the text and do not need to open console to do it. You will see the title THE FOREST in yellow change to something else in greay. (can't remeber what it says now. But you will know it worked when the yellow the forest goes away. This will stay active until you type in meatmode. Cheers..

you can also type in vegetarianmode this makes them only come out at night time and remember meatmode to go back to default

Wait how do you type commands?

[ImIronWolf]

You do it in the main menu before loading a game. Just type the command. You will know when it works, the title in the menu changes a little. Like typing ironforest to make buildings indestructible will change the title 'The Forest' and put the word 'Iron' in there.

The Wiki says:

"The player can press some key combinations while at the main menu screen to activate or deactivate the different game modes.

In order to activate these modes, the player must type:

veganmode = No cannibals;
vegetarianmode = Cannibals spawn only at night;
meatmode = Reset the cannibals to spawning as designed.
ironforest = Toggles whether cannibals can destroy buildings.

After the successful activation of a code, the game's logo will change to something different in each case:

veganmode: changes the font style to white camel-case and adds the line "An open world adventure".
vegetarianmode: changes the font color to red. "The Forest" is otherwise written using the default style (all-uppercase).
meatmode: resets the logo to the default (yellow and all-uppercase).
ironforest: adds or removes a yellow "iron" above the "Forest".

This is very useful if the player is new to the game, and wishes to explore the island. The player can also build and gather materials for his base, preparing for the long and dangerous nights ahead that will be encountered after changing the mode back to the proper "meat-mode"."

There is a console, but only if you download mods from third party developers. There are many out there, most are privately created and non diseminated, but you can use Mod API to download mods (it behaves similar to Nexus Mod Manager, if you've ever used that before). You download mods, put them in a specific place, then use the Mod API GUI to to add and remove mods from your actual game. The program handles moving files back and fourth between your main Forest directory.

Mod API gives you the ability to use cheats like 'spawn command' (console codes that spawn almost any/all props in game), 'inventory mod' (gives items on click, including some items you can't get otherwise (seagul head anyone?)), 'cheat menu' (a mod that gives control over many aspects of the game, this includes godmode, flight, no-clip, control over player speed/jump, speed of time control, time of day control, etc.

There's a mod for an in-game map (the same map from theforestmap.com)
