THANK YOU for not rushing through the storyline! I also am trying to enjoy this having experience. I've had to avoid a few of my fav UA-camrs so I don't get spoilers!
Hi @Kage848 and friends ! You can delay your sleep using energy drinks and bars. Also, the taser is very good for deers : you can stun them, so they don't run away faster than you can run ! Have fun and gl all 🖖
i was also struggling with the energy, but found that if you hydrate and eat till full as soon as you wake up all is good. Also you can find plenty energy bars and drinks that will overfill your energy. Great videos 🤩 Hot key update YEAH!
I have found that if you make sure you eat and sleep right before you sleep, then you get full rest and can pretty much go most of the day without needing to sleep again.
The southern part of island has guarana berry bushes, which if you eat, while not being very nutritious in themselves, restore part of your energy with the green meter. Setting up a couple of planters in your base with guarana bushes during the warmer seasons can be worth it in my opinion to keep your stamina meter as full as possible. Also, progressing with the story yields you a lot of useful items in the process. So I can recommend that. Sons of the Forest will have you run over pretty much all of the island in order to do so, in the process showing you most of the island. In my current game I progressed just before the very last part of the story and then just turned back to build a base. Technically you don't even have to enter the Bunker on the eastern side of the island. The only really useful item you get from there is the Pump Action Shotgun. So if you don't want to give your Virginia a shotgun while also using a shotgun yourself (without exploiting the respawning of that one grave that contains another shotgun), there's no reason to do that.
I learned something amazing today. A tip video showed that when you throw logs with G at a log holder the logs go into the holder. I just tested something even better. If you place log holders at the end of a zip line, the logs will automatically be placed in the holder too. Freaking awesom! 👌
Use a spear to take on the rib guys. Hit them in the legs and it Stuns them🤙🏼 ALSO HOT KEYS IS A THING Go into inventory and hover over the item you want to bind to a key, bind anything 1-9. Hover over the item and press the number you want it to be
i watched another guy do this same cave except he killed his way through. the problem with that was that by the time he got to the end all of the mutants has started respawning. he did a kill counter and it had ended up being 70 enemies before he could get out.
@@Robbi00 I'm not sure about how quickly, but the mutants do respawn in the caves. I went through the "rope gun cave" once and killed everything, then went back through about 10 days later when looking for the stun baton and there were a bunch more enemies down there.
Kage, if you hit the McRibs with a torch they’ll catch on fire and stop attacking while burning. It also is a quick way to defeat them. Another way is to attack their legs with a spear. While they’re down they won’t attack.
I think the reason for the constant attacks is the same as the Forest if you spend to much time in one area they keep coming, I been building for like 2 days explore for 2 and repeat. Doing this I have only got the brown crawler guys.
I find it's necessary to have at least an energy bar or energy mix(?) after sleeping. If you can, an energy drink too. That all adds bonus energy to get you through a day. Would like to see coffee beans added to the harvestable flora as an alternative to energy drinks, perhaps not as effective but enough to perk ya up in the afternoon.
I call that thing a slinky mutant. I watched someone beat one by throwing logs at it. He was cutting trees when it surprise attacked him so he didn't have a weapon on him. He ran around kiting it and throwing logs at it until it died.
You're worried about the cannibals coming in if you have a drying rack? Have you maybe kinda noticed that you're seeing them pretty much constantly, all day long, every day? Maybe you should set up a drying rack outside your walls and leave it for them.
The mutant at the beginning of the video is John 2.0 (or conjoined worm mutant). I was about to get into a cave when I saw that creepy mutant destroying my makeshift tent. 🤣
Such and awesome game. I hate to think that you may finish it. Hope you play it again if you do and maybe change things up a little. The building is so cool. Loving it. Thanks Kage...JB
That mutant was in one of the trailer vids forget which but it's in there. Look at the videos on the steam page I think it's the 4th video on the page that has that mutant in it.
played multiplayer with my friends and stumbled upon this gigantic waterfall, there’s tons of rope there, too bad i forgot to memeorize the location. so keep an eye out for that if you need rope!
Oh try building a platform high up and only way to top is Zipline and put drying racks up there see if that works for you. No one's came to steal food yet from me.
I just ran into the same mutant today and I was thinking if you would of too lol never fails when your in the middle of building. I also live the fact that you listen to mr. ballen I am a avid listener too
Have the entrance on one of the sides so you can place the traps on the flat? or you could even have 2 entrances, one each side, then you'd have extra traps to bait the bigger groups into if there's not enough on the first entrance
Hey Kage848 if you want to know a great place to build without your base getting destroyed in on the beach right in the surf no problem they just stand at the beach edge and scream at you lol but your base stays in tacked gl .
No they didn't add more guys. I had that many in my single player through, took all my nades, booze and Armour to make it through not just running past. But I did not see the shark in my play either.
There are few caves free of enemies that have brakeble crates check them for save respovnable loot like ropes allso the radio marker for man on cliff save respovns (one rope above few botles of alcohol and locator ) I dont think that they add markers - why? - you can place the locators or what not they are called you find on sticks you stick in the ground to make your own marker
I want them to lower the frequency of raids. Or allow the skull posts to actually lower the frequency or something. I've been enjoy watching your play your solo game the MP game and myself playing :)
Endnight really wanted to bring more realism to the game. In looks, and the way things acted. Hence why you have the free build, with prefab options, the graphics, the fact there is no log sled... YET... because like the old design, wouldn't react with the terrain as well as Kelvin couldn't use whiteout being sent into space or get stuck. I think they would just not let him use it period as he is only there to help, not do the work anyway with his speed and carrying ability...etc. I digress. I think once they get a more plausible design it will be in there. But right now the terrain, and the falling through the earth thing is real. But building certain things on the hill makes not only sense, but its not visually appealing. I believe that things like the shovel could eventually terrain edit, however they would have to have layers of ground, and as we all know except for the dig sites, the regions are built in empty cells currenty, and they would have to have filled ground all through out the map. We know its possible because of destructive terrain, structures, and of course digsites, but that would be a massive overhaul and game space usage. Maybe this game, very very late in its life, or in another game. But not anytime soon. I suppose if enough people complain, like everyone has about the hotkeys, they might fix it to "stick to face" so you can place it just about anywhere, but then you have new problems. Tell me the hotkey fix wasn't to appease people, otherwise it could have waited until an official update. Gotta make sure people will play and buy the game, and with as much as people are making vids and streaming it and the amount of views they get, it was a big enough issue that it had to be fixed. I might have got behind it if it was just 4 keys, two of them could be big/medium items, and two for the smaller items. The whole purpose of the pulling out the backpack was a realism "hotkey" like mechanic. They way I suggested it, is the best of both worlds really.I think its fair to have the shot gun, and maybe like spear on you somewhere to where you could switch, and reach to your pocket or belt for curatives and foodie items. But switching from pistol, to shotty, to crossbow, to spear, to chainsaw, to axe, to machete, to soda, to energy bar, to pills.... is a little overboard. Do the four for like a range and melee, then the smaller stuff. Back pack can handle the rest. Hell I don't even know for sure myself right now how it acts for certain since the mini update, Im waiting on a new hard drive to play... sigh. I do like to possible concept of the new base. Just remember wall shelves and start storing things, especially for when you figure out where rope is because there is a lot of it to be had. Store everything on them. I havent tested it yet (Hard drive issue) but try wall shelves on the inside of you perimeter wall, see if they go up on that, and make a ton to store your skulls. Both practical, and decorative. Dont worry about them getting knocked down, skulls are plenty this time around, even more so than last game. The longer you play, the more cannibals show up and bigger the groups.
Doubtful youll get to this but theres 3 pieces of rope in the other bay where you set up your second tarp one is at the radio one in the 2 boats where the river goes into the sea and a 3rd is on the corner where the 2 rivers meet
I got two inventory full of rope from the cave closet the stun baton, not the 3D printer cave but the other one. It's very close to the Stun spawn/hell crash.
I realised today that the mcrib isn't a mcrib lol, it's actually fingers not ribs 🤮 also do u kno if u place a log on the ground, prop a stick up under one end, walk into it and knock it down. It'll dupe the log...known bugs ftw 😁
I'm playing a normal difficulty game with default settings. I went through that cave on day 10 and there were about that many enemies in there. I saw someone else on youtube do that cave on day 1 and there were WAY fewer enemies. I think that the number of enemies increases over time. I just did the shovel cave and kept track, there were 93 enemies on day 33 (not including babies)
The guy he was talking about he got a playlist called I believe 3 places ppl went They shouldn’t and I watch like 10 of them like like half to 2/3 of them about driving underwater
Man the waves in this game are insane. Am I suppose to not kill canibals? Like did I make my faction very bad or something? I get like 6-20 cannibals per night or atleast every other night. Thank god I cleared the huge cave and got two full sets of the creepy armor. It's gone now...
Hey Kage a small channel called Splitintwo gaming made a video about the log physics showing the log holders getting filled via zip line. Hopefully that info can help you 😁
You know, I keep seeing people think the flashlight is better. Am I the only one who thinks it is garbage compared to the lighter? The lighter gives surroundings light while the flashlight only covers 1/3rd of the screen.
How many where are the mini or that's actually pretty small halliday is not how I usually is there usually a s*** ton more and it's the most scariest s*** you were ever see especially when your flashlight runs out of battery it's horrifying
mark places on the map by putting a stick down and then a gps marker on top of it
I was wondering if that was it. Giving one to Virginia made sense, but if that was their only purpose than why else could you get more than one.
THEY ADDED HOTKEYS!!!!
Simply hover over an item in your inventory and press 1 thru 0 to assign! This is awesome
Big fan of the new intro, not sure how long I have neglected to notice it but I dig it. Guess I been watching a lot of your older vids lately
Fishing with Kelvin is in fresh water not salt, so he will only fish where you can drink water from.
THANK YOU for not rushing through the storyline! I also am trying to enjoy this having experience. I've had to avoid a few of my fav UA-camrs so I don't get spoilers!
I’ve noticed the longer you wait to go into the caves the more enemies there are
Day 1 had few. Day 30 had tons! Lol
The flyswatter trap is great for securing your entrances. They won't damage you or your followers.
Will they damage you?
Hi @Kage848 and friends !
You can delay your sleep using energy drinks and bars.
Also, the taser is very good for deers : you can stun them, so they don't run away faster than you can run !
Have fun and gl all 🖖
i was also struggling with the energy, but found that if you hydrate and eat till full as soon as you wake up all is good. Also you can find plenty energy bars and drinks that will overfill your energy. Great videos 🤩 Hot key update YEAH!
I love that you're a Mr Ballen fan Kage, I still remember the first time I heard you mention him and I remember thinking what a small world it was.
I have found that if you make sure you eat and sleep right before you sleep, then you get full rest and can pretty much go most of the day without needing to sleep again.
It walks down stairs and over some chairs...everyone knows it's mutant slinky 🎶
exactly! I thought slinky the second I saw it
The southern part of island has guarana berry bushes, which if you eat, while not being very nutritious in themselves, restore part of your energy with the green meter.

Use a spear to take on the rib guys. Hit them in the legs and it Stuns them🤙🏼
ALSO HOT KEYS IS A THING

The Mr. Ballen reference was great, I listen to him a lot!

Farket!!!
@@commanderwolf_gaming5191 the king of the forest!!
I thought once you kill the things in the cave they don't respawn

love this game. kage makes all survival games look easy. his older 7dtd seiries made me get 7 days to die
Try using foundation grids again to level out the the terrain for the traps
You should use the paper target to practice with the bow
I, too, am a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format! Also, agree, his older stuff is better.
If you can't pick up the big guys try building a fire next to them to get their bones if that will even work.
13:20 "The good news is we don't have to go back out that way."
Me: Yeah, ya do. You went the wrong way.
it looks like the big red guys are just overwaight with red paint to show status, they dont seem like mutants
I love Mr ballen watch all his stuff and have a lot of his merch also 👍👍 for talking about him
favorite youtuber to watch after work. Love your videos
Thank you for playing this game!
you get tired faster if you're hungry and thirsty. staying hydrated and fed helps keep your sleep meter higher longer. pretty sure anyways.
Use spear on finger monsters. Poke knees to stun it for 3-4 hits. Shark died to 3 normal arrow hits.
You gotta call that mutant Catdog 🤣🤣🤣
Yes!!!!
You can place 3 rocks under the spikes, to reinforce them. No idea if it makes a difference though *shrug*
I think the reason for the constant attacks is the same as the Forest if you spend to much time in one area they keep coming, I been building for like 2 days explore for 2 and repeat. Doing this I have only got the brown crawler guys.

Keep an eye out for guarana berries, they'll replenish your rest bar :)
I call that thing a slinky mutant. I watched someone beat one by throwing logs at it. He was cutting trees when it surprise attacked him so he didn't have a weapon on him. He ran around kiting it and throwing logs at it until it died.
Cannibals hone in on food if you didn't know yet. Having bodies or other meat in your base is sure to attract some.
You're worried about the cannibals coming in if you have a drying rack? Have you maybe kinda noticed that you're seeing them pretty much constantly, all day long, every day? Maybe you should set up a drying rack outside your walls and leave it for them.
the ol' "bribe them with jerky" trick, haha

What?.........lol

Great way to start a vid with such a monstrousity in the base. I've never seen that mutant before but good thing you had fire to take it out LOL
That mutant was in one of the trailer vids forget which but it's in there. Look at the videos on the steam page I think it's the 4th video on the page that has that mutant in it.

i love kages thumbnails.

I'm gonna call that mutant slinky and the other one zipper. Seems appropriate to me. Lol
I started watching you play this recently and now I want the game.
I just ran into the same mutant today and I was thinking if you would of too lol never fails when your in the middle of building. I also live the fact that you listen to mr. ballen I am a avid listener too
Have the entrance on one of the sides so you can place the traps on the flat? or you could even have 2 entrances, one each side, then you'd have extra traps to bait the bigger groups into if there's not enough on the first entrance
Build a foundation for the traps
There is no Mr Ballan doing gaming vids that i could find.
Hey Kage848 if you want to know a great place to build without your base getting destroyed in on the beach right in the surf no problem they just stand at the beach edge and scream at you lol but your base stays in tacked gl .
Was just watching bandit banks second 100 days in hardcore the forest and he made a “bone zone” and I immediately thought of you it was so funny😂😂
No they didn't add more guys. I had that many in my single player through, took all my nades, booze and Armour to make it through not just running past. But I did not see the shark in my play either.
Can you plant spike stocks in caves? Or traps?

Love this game. I just started ziplining around and having a blast. Dude use the new "Hotkeys"
If you aim right at the tip of the arrow, it's much easier to hit shots with the bow

Don't forget right side leads to stub gun and left to rebeather
Doubtful youll get to this but theres 3 pieces of rope in the other bay where you set up your second tarp one is at the radio one in the 2 boats where the river goes into the sea and a 3rd is on the corner where the 2 rivers meet
Hey kage! did you see kelvin can also gather arrows?
Kage you need shelves!
They took out the shark and added 1 billion cannibals😂😂
you can use a stick to beat the game in under 10 minutes using the animation when you place one on the ground
Dude holy shit... why were there so many enemies in that cave!!!!
I got two inventory full of rope from the cave closet the stun baton, not the 3D printer cave but the other one. It's very close to the Stun spawn/hell crash.
The one with the rope gun in it. Beginning to think maybe they meant to put rope with the rope gun :)
To completely fill stamina you have to go to bed with a full stomach and not thirsty.
Will a torch or Molotov turn the big into bones?
Virginia has a bug where she keeps losing her pistol
I think the word you're looking for is "fatigue" 😁
The sub 8 minute speed run used glitches to get past key card doors.
Food has to be at max for sleep to go up when you sleep.
I realised today that the mcrib isn't a mcrib lol, it's actually fingers not ribs 🤮 also do u kno if u place a log on the ground, prop a stick up under one end, walk into it and knock it down. It'll dupe the log...known bugs ftw 😁
When I went thru that cave in single player it was not as many as you had but mine is a custome game set to low spawn and the aggression is on low
I'm playing a normal difficulty game with default settings. I went through that cave on day 10 and there were about that many enemies in there. I saw someone else on youtube do that cave on day 1 and there were WAY fewer enemies. I think that the number of enemies increases over time.
I just did the shovel cave and kept track, there were 93 enemies on day 33 (not including babies)
you can build a fire under the big guys and get the bones
a shovel is a terrible mcguffin. you could easily dig with hands or sticks or make a shovel
I think i had the option to put skulls on the storage shelves, maybe we need to use those. i'll check next time i play.
i can confirm, you can load skulls onto shelves. It's only one skull per slot though (so 4 on the wall shelves, and 12 on the regular ones)
Use the spear on fingers.. legs hits stun them
There’s only 4 blinds and 2 fingers in that first room lol.
you can get Kalvin to fech your arrow for you
WE NEED A BONE ZONE!!! LOL
The guy he was talking about he got a playlist called I believe 3 places ppl went They shouldn’t and I watch like 10 of them like like half to 2/3 of them about driving underwater
3 rows of spikes stops all seige attacks they can jump that far
you have to fish farther up stream away from the ocean in fresh water
If you want armor try fighting the mutants
Man the waves in this game are insane. Am I suppose to not kill canibals? Like did I make my faction very bad or something? I get like 6-20 cannibals per night or atleast every other night. Thank god I cleared the huge cave and got two full sets of the creepy armor. It's gone now...
Like the thing u killed with Molotovs I've been killing nightly with a wooden spear....
When I saw how many fish he got 😂
Hey Kage a small channel called Splitintwo gaming made a video about the log physics showing the log holders getting filled via zip line. Hopefully that info can help you 😁
love the vids keep it up
Make a fish trap then he will collect the fish from it
I call the mutant the siamese twins
That's what I call the other double one. This guy is "rollie pollie"
You only need 1 stick to beat the game it's that quick
Why is your base wide open?
You know, I keep seeing people think the flashlight is better. Am I the only one who thinks it is garbage compared to the lighter? The lighter gives surroundings light while the flashlight only covers 1/3rd of the screen.
That thing at the beginning reminds me of CatDog. Anyone else?
Get the shot gun then you one shoot em. If you jump stab with the axe will kill in one blow.
nice
its faster switch weapons in the inventory
Also stone arrows are bad in this game it seems. 3d printed and carbon fiber are best
How many where are the mini or that's actually pretty small halliday is not how I usually is there usually a s*** ton more and it's the most scariest s*** you were ever see especially when your flashlight runs out of battery it's horrifying
