Great video, but you forgot to mention two things. 1.) If you blow up a mutant with dynamite or a bomb, their armor gets destroyed and you cannot retrieve it. 2.) How armor cycling works because it can be very annoying switching armor types. Great video though!
You can display the bone armor you put on your face on an armor rack and that means you can save +1 bone armor on the armor rack. I think it's good to know too
I just started playing this game a couple weeks ago. I’ve had it for years just busy with kids. These videos help so much. I thought you could only wear one piece of armor
I've played the forest ever since it came out in alpha, and I never really understood the armor system after the update, so imma just say thanks before I even watch the video
When you said the mic was expensive to produce i was expecting a $300 price tag. $115 looks so good for what you get AND with all the accessories! If i hadn't bought a mic a few months ago i'd be seriously considering this (as it seems to sound great via your videos).
So happy to hear there are still go getters who make and sell their own product from the ground up! Super stoked to see where this goes for you... Also love the content.
Thank you for making this, My nephew(16) was asking me these questions..I told him, let me introduce you to Farket. He said what if he doesnt know or didn't make a video of it. I said, if you don't know and what to cuss...just say farmer. He knows bro...he knows
I like the cold suit! It was a nice goal to get it crafted lol. But I like it for 2 awesome reasons: 1) Negating cold damage ALSO works for being wet. Helps save on fire resources when your diving or crafting in the rain. 2) Armor Cycling: I learned quick about damaged armor being lost, which was a pain. Since armor prevents all hp damage, I prefer having 2ish pieces of bone armor "protecting" my harder to acquire mutant armor. Keep disposable armor at the top of the armor bar, as that gets damaged first (ie- put on disposable armor first, then better armor after; just make sure the top bars are bone armor or something). When the bone armor is gone, equip the cold suit to remove all armor, then reapply in the same order. This saves your mutant armor from being wasted so you have it for when you really need it. This is especially useful for protecting stealth armor, if that's your jam. 3) Additionally, if protected and just chilling in your base, I prefer the look of the cold suit lol.
There is an easy way to get cloth(if you don't mind what can be described as an exploit). In the cave where the rope to the modern axe is(the cave he's in at 8:45) you can break the boxes for cloth. If you leave the cave and go back, all the boxes respawn, no need to save and exit. I tend to get a minimum of 200 cloth(250 - 300 if i've got food). Tip: there is a cave exit/entrance right by the area the boxes spawn so break the boxes(and optionally go get more dynamite and/or other loot by the modern axe) leave, 180, enter, repeat till satisfied.
My buddy and I finally beat the game together, and with your help we had the Modern Axe day 2 and a three-story home on the cliff above the Fertile lands in two weeks. Thanks for all the tips, and definitely keep it up. I am curious though, about something that's a little less objective. Have you got a favorite cassette of the available 5 in-game? I'm sure you've had plenty of time to listen to 'em.
@@Farket what is the best weapon for the final boss ? Me and my friends are planning to do it but wee dont know what is the best weapons to use not trying to annoy sorry if I am
@@Farket Hi Farket I did the math and the damage to the stealth armor on fire is 225%. Just in case here's how I counted it. We have the base 80 damage aka 100% to other armor so we times that with 2 so we get 160 which is 200% from the og damage and we still need 20 damage point to the armor to get to the 180 and 20 is a quarter out of 80 aka 25% which when added to the 200% aka 160 damage we get 225% aka 180 damage.
I have no idea how anyone could dislike this. Thank you for this awesome and very informative video Farket! My bf and I have learned a lot from your videos and have been enjoying them and The Forest a lot more. You have earned a sub, thanks again for your hard work. 👍
Awesome video man didn’t know that about stealth armor, I just started playing. Btw a yard is about 5 or 6 centimeters short of a meter. Also I was watching an older video of yours and you said that fires can heat an entire custom home but I haven’t been able to get that working. Do you have any idea why?
Farket I tried that I even tried it using different sizes, windows or no windows, foundation or floor and even a floor roof I just can’t get it to work. I’ll keep trying different methods and if I find anything I’ll let ya know. It may also be that I’m on PlayStation and not PC ( I’m really new to this game so I don’t know that differences)
@@mylezfrazier814 I'm new as well, playing on ps4. I just did it for the first time the other day. I know mine didn't work until I completed the floor walls and roof. I did it all as one piece and I'm using a fire pit, not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Farket you should make make an unboxing video of your new microphone you’re selling and how to properly set it up for new coming gamers...Also keep up the good work!
You are the best youtuber i love your videos they are so well made and your channel and videos are so underrated I love that you show the forest som love and I love that you doing it very well and you giveing the developers feedback im sorry for commenting on a old video
I do admit, after I beat the game and forgot to make a separate save point to chose creative mode at the end as well as not crashing the plane.. I stopped playing completely. It’s more fun to play with another person too and I’ve lost a lot of online friends recently.
Love the vids started playing about 2 weeks ago and figured it was about time to learn the advanced mechanics. I Run circles around the cannibals dodging constantly, so I think the extra walk speed would be helpful if u fight like I do.
Omfg!!!!! Bruh I used to love watching this guy but lost my acc and forget about it but stumbled upon this gem one evening again, I started playing this aging to recently what a coincidence but just subscribe with notifications on 😏✌🏼
You forgot to mention the other incredibly useful quality of the snowshoes. They prevent you sinking an inch or so into the snow when you're wearing them. ;) Weird though, I'm sure when I played with a friend a lot that he was always running faster than me in the snow when he had snowshoes on and I didn't. Maybe not, or maybe they updated the game to remove that, because I'm talking a couple of years ago.
If say, I equip a full set of Bone Armour and take 10 damage, then swap out 9 Pieces to Stealth, do I preserve the 30 HP Bone Armour or would swapping even one piece remove it?
I just started playing this game and your videos have been invaluable to me enjoying this game to the fullest and reducing the dread of wasting hours testing strategies that end in a bad time. Thank you greatly. Sub'd.
Series Idea: A Stealthy & Nomad playthrough. No big structures (no logs), only living of your backpack, no staying on one base more then 3 nights and AVOID ALL COMBAT.
If you put on one bone or creepy armor first, then put on a lot of stealth armor on after, will the burn damage just do normal damage as it burns through the bone/creepy and ignore the extra damage on the stealth armor?
I think you should make a video just watching the cannibals be dumb cause they do some of the dumbest things like run into trees if you catch them scouting you
I think the snow shoes are an okay item. Personally, I find their best use is just strafing enemies. Strafing isn’t usually that big a deal, but when going against multiple mutants and cannibals when you don’t really have anywhere to escape to your stamina suddenly becomes very valuable. When walking away from a Virginia’s 3 swing combo, you won’t be able to completely get out of the way. With the snow shoes however, you can easily stay walking and dodge all 3 hits. It’ll also let you keep closer to enemies than sprinting away does, so between their attacks you’ll have a better timeframe to hit them before they i-frame away from you.
I think stealth armor is great. I always wear it at night and run right past cannibals. I haven't tried Hard Survival mode, but I think they reduced it to force you to hide in bushes more. Snow shoes are probably good if you build in the snow a lot and lose all of your energy.
I'm getting this game today and ive been JEloUs of my friends for so long but now we can all vibe and play it. I also thing warm suit should be stackable with other armour but it breaks
Ive mentioned this before and I think you even liked the comment, but you can combine armor with the backpack to bind it to the hotkeys, allowing you to instant equip armor without opening your bag whenever you want. Just a tip for the noobies.
I'm super excited to see you play Sons Of The Forest!!! You actually got me back into the Forest and im really loving it. Sucks I have bad anxiety when playing this game 🤣. It's very hard to play this game or Grounded 😭😭, too afraid of being jumped lmao. Is there a difference between the PC and the PS4 version? I played both and I personally don't see anything different really other than the walkie talkies
Bruh this guys the whole reason I started playing the forest
Same here
SAME
Shit I got the game on PS4 but got no one to play with . And I still bought it cause of farket and thinking about getting the mic
I don’t even play the forest anymore but I keep watching Farket
same
hello farket it's everyone here
😂😂😂
Not me
I'm so happy the Sons of the Forest was coming, not because I'm hyped to play it - mainly because I'm hyped for more Farket videos.

Wait does it really
You also forgot that you can't harvest mutant armor from mutants that have drownd
@@zacharypresley7101 actually, as long as your standing and not swimming, you can still collect the armour off drowned mutants.
He did say these things he says if they go into the water of if they explode.

Trottel-TV bruh how i understand it and i played for like only a month
Yeah
2:48 The production quality of this video is insane. Well done!
Exactly what I needed a new microphone and a guide for The Forest Armor!
I love the fact that he puts so much effort into his videos, it lets me know that his channel cares about its fanbase. Keep up the great word Farket!

10:06 "So when you're cold, a few things happen."

Just got back into this game. Never beat it solo
Hey Farket have you looked into Grounded yet? the building reminds me a lot of the forest's style
Thank you you have helped me and my friend like crazy
Attacked while defending will also negate armor damage.
Cold armor can be usefull to remove all armor for safekeeping.
aaalll the different intros! D:
Man i really miss you're episodes hope you make season 8 man.
Dude I dont know when but I am 100% gonna get this microphone.
