Listening to how much you talk to/about Kelvin is pretty funny/interesting. Really shows how big of a difference surviving with others plays into your psyche.
Yeah man, he destroyed my tree house 3 times in a row while collecting logs and then he stood on fire and ran into me setting me on fire right after chopping another tree house down which also killed my friend while falling. I got fed up and built a wall around him
I love the entire concept of having a camp of npcs that have active ai in a survival game kelvin and the other npc companions in this game make it feel like a proper simulated grouo survival
The notebook and Kevlin being deaf is such a clever idea to avoid introducing talk/voice acting to the game and to avoid weird and unrealisitic interactions between the player and the NPC. Just imaging if he would'nt be deaf, they would have to talk and they would have to record a bunch of voice commands for him. Although using voice recognition and letting the player control Kevlin would have been pretty neat.
I finally got Sons of the Forest and played like all day. Then I kinda ran out of playing energy, but I remembered finding your The Forest playthrough back when I got that game for tips and tricks, and I wondered if you were playing this one too. And you are!! It's so much fun watching you back in this world, I returned just for this.
Game looks great, Im still playing The original Forest, found a new love for it, my last playthrough was in 2021 so enjoying a fresh start...I like the building though, gotta admit very customizable.
Mr Kage Sir you are the best builder in the business bar none. Your competitors are still in Shanty Town and you've started building Rome. Tops m8. Thanks for the content.
Just a tip for quick slot for your inventory: if you hold down your inventory key (default I) itll bring up your backpack. You can customize whats on your quick slot backpack by placing your backpack onto the crafting area (inventory menu) and combine stuff.
Omg. I am loving the building. Ive never seen anything like this but its amazing to just watch. Is there a separate animation for every action ? Edit: Also, it would be sick if you did a BTS stream Sunday with this.
Here's a tip the head can be crafted into a club or you can put a stick in the ground the head on that this will make the cannibals more scared of you and make them less aggressive unless in bigger groups the more of those skulls in the ground the better it works
Little tip for the step, approach the area you’re trying to lay it from the side so with your right hand side up against the build. Look down and you should get a sideways arrow appear along the log to lay the step. Keep up the vids mate, great work!
I built on the beach basically where your camp is (just a touch closer to the stream so Kelvin could fish for me) and I found the best method was for me to go up the cliff and chop down the trees then chuck them over the cliff where Kelvin would collect them and put them into log stands. Honestly it was a really fast method for getting a lot of logs fast.
I've watched other gameplays on this but they were boring been waiting on ur gameplay sir lol. Then I see it 2 I'm like I didnt even get notifications for 1st part. Going back to watch it 1. Love ur channel. I'm in love with building aspect and u are the only one who provides that. Plz stream this but not multiplayer if u can
If your at the river and he is with you you can have him fish for you. You will love how he fishes. Also after you kill a bird and get the feathers if you hit it two more time it will drop more feathers for you each time.
So far drinking water without purifying it and eating raw meat is fine. Handy in beginning as the squirrels are easy to kill and eat raw with no issues. I find turtles in the ponds to eat as well. I gave a turtle shell that I can equip. Shield? Didn't really seem like it. Ty for the building. It will help. I've only built the tree platform so far.
I bought "The Forest" years ago, after watching you play it. But i never even installed it yet. So i was not go to buy this, but i think i have to reconsider :)
When chopping trees down, circle around the base and it takes much less chops to fell, and where you're looking the tree will fall. also, its the logs falling through the ground, I believe the ones Kelvin touches tend to fall through the ground after some time, but don't If I touch them
Once your start exploring the green pings and the caves you'll never have to worry about food ever again. My food inventory has been full since about 3 hrs into the game.
If you stand about 2 meters from a river and tell kelvin to catch fish and drop here, he will supply you with an infinte amount of fish to eat, never have a food problem again, he is pretty much useless for every other task. Kelvin will eat, drink and rest when hes tired, without your input.
The struggle during winter is real...get a cabin up quick you guys... Edit: speaking of sleds...anyone know what the 3d printed sled is for? Or how to use it...I tried sledding down a snowy hill, but nadda...
Hahaha funny man! A good tip when playing a game for the first time without knowledge is to press every button and function you can to learn as much as possible and not miss anything
The only downside to this game that I see is the eating animations such as when you ate the berries. Hopefully there will be an option to turn them off.
Being farther from trees is annoying about a beach base, but I built on the peninsula over the river from you and the wide-open part of it really helps for fighting invaders. EDIT: Also, agreed. The building is absolutely *amazing* in this.
This game is so badass. I can’t wait for a couple tweaks to realism but i do give this a 10/10 as well. I’m very happy with this game. Been waiting a long time to play this one.
I just found out how to get Virginia. Next time she comes around keep watching her and she'll run off and come back and after a while she'll start dancing for you and everything else. After a while of doing this she will bring you gifts like aloe and rabbits and things like that then you know you have her on your side. Then you can interact with her like you do Klevin. You can change her outfit you can give her a pistol and a shotgun and from far as I can tell as long as the weapons are loaded when you give them to her she does not run out of ammo and she will kill any cannibal that gets near you and threatens you.
Well enjoy your exposed base with no locking door. Seventy-five five logs later mine was over run by one big pissed dude with a club, including his scawny pal who simply opened the door and trapped me inside while his body building companion just yanked logs RTFO the wall! A "palisade" that I neglected to sharpen was climbed over in seconds. I am now cowering in the cave at the top of the mountain, cold and wet. Wish me luck. Great location for fish, rabbits and water, thankfully. Oh, and Kelvin ran up the mountain, is stuck and refuses to come down. Similarly, Virginia ran away with my only gun and disappeared. (This game actually mirrors my life, as I reflect on it.) Kage, I'm just telling you all this cause I know you love your builds and your probably fantasizing about that cool skull chandelier but this is not The Forest and as a content creator you probably won't be pleased when you lose a lot of progress.
The question we were all wondering, will it be as good as the original? There are very few sequels that ever do. And I think we can all safely say hell yes! Most likely surpasses. It definitely does already in a lot of ways, but it's too soon to say it's better in every way. Also, the crashes *are* a variety, I guess the RNG just happened to give you the same one as your trial run. Yours is definitely the most violent one I've seen, lol.
Hate to be the grammar police bud but uh... I think you meant "disconcerting" and not "disconcerning" 😋 By the way... I came straight to you for a gameplay of SoTF. You're my go-to survival game guy. 💪
There was a dead body surrounded by rocks on the shore near the river that facing the sea and right at the sea you will see a raft and on that raft you can find a gun. You can find the raft on the map because on that raft you can find a waypoint
I think my Kelvin is broken. I told him to follow me but he won't leave my wall. I may have to remove some more of the logs to get him to come out... Plus I haven't seen the other companion in a while..
Not if you build your cabin too far from the river like Kage has. Building closer to water is probably better for drinking too, although you can 3D print a water bottle.
I got scared a made a base close the the ocean I seen a raft I went to it there was a gun and a suit after I seen 4 sharks around it somehow survived but the worst part I went to chop down trees then all of a sudden there was a cannibal boss I walked away and found out their base was basically right up there
We need to petition the devs to let us give Kelvin hugs or food or something as payment for his hard work.
That's stupid and weird.
Stop being creepy
great idea tbh its a bit weird having a person being able to work no matter what without starving or dying through dehydration
@@jordanbomb32 the only thing thats stupid and weird is the way you treat people, go get a hug buddy, we love you!
Calvin is a championship winning fisherman. Just go up stream somewhere around the jumping salmon and let him do his work, you'll never starve
I don't like salmon. What about trout, or brass. Can he do that?
*Kelvin
Kelvin?
@@souskesagara6218 my bad, I meant brace, the carp like fish 😂
Listening to how much you talk to/about Kelvin is pretty funny/interesting. Really shows how big of a difference surviving with others plays into your psyche.
I love Kelvin lol. I’m so glad he’s in the game. I hope nothing happens to him in the story.
Yeah man, he destroyed my tree house 3 times in a row while collecting logs and then he stood on fire and ran into me setting me on fire right after chopping another tree house down which also killed my friend while falling. I got fed up and built a wall around him
@@prizrak636 I know that had to be frustrating but the fact you built a wall around him is Fn hilarious 😂 🤣
@@prizrak636 I think u can kill him if u don’t want him anymore
@Sacred SpectralGhost didn't want him gone for ever, just wanted him away from my tree house
I love the entire concept of having a camp of npcs that have active ai in a survival game kelvin and the other npc companions in this game make it feel like a proper simulated grouo survival

Hey! Just found that If You keep the inventory key, it opens a miniature bag, that is kind of hot bar quick access to the tools
Is keep pressed the inv. Key button

When you hit him with the rock, I died a little 😆
Mr Kage Sir you are the best builder in the business bar none. Your competitors are still in Shanty Town and you've started building Rome. Tops m8. Thanks for the content.
Please, do it longer gameplays, our post more videos, i'm already addict
man, they went above and beyond with the graphics… it's so amazing…

The excited Kage building noises have made my day 🤣🍻
Kelvin can also build fires and other things and also gather food for you.
Here's a tip the head can be crafted into a club or you can put a stick in the ground the head on that this will make the cannibals more scared of you and make them less aggressive unless in bigger groups the more of those skulls in the ground the better it works
Make chairs and furniture of your enemies bones
Little tip for the step, approach the area you’re trying to lay it from the side so with your right hand side up against the build. Look down and you should get a sideways arrow appear along the log to lay the step.
Keep up the vids mate, great work!
Anyone who's worked in a wood shop is crying watching this dude perfectly split logs in half every time
I have been searching for that first tip about the separate book for 5 hours!! THANK YOU
Love the game. Picked it up yesterday after trying for two hours lol
Wow!! More, more, more dude!!! Loving this!!

Wow; yes the building mechanic is amazing!!!
I really think the devs should give Calvin hunger & thirst & give him the ability to fetch food
The ground levels itself out when you're building?!?! Ok, Endnight! My hat's off to ya
The building looks 'REALLY' good so far. Wholly agree with you @Kage.
It looks like a great survival game Kage the gameplay it's in depth that's why I like it
I've watched other gameplays on this but they were boring been waiting on ur gameplay sir lol. Then I see it 2 I'm like I didnt even get notifications for 1st part. Going back to watch it 1. Love ur channel. I'm in love with building aspect and u are the only one who provides that. Plz stream this but not multiplayer if u can
Wow this has to be the most immersive building system I've seen...
If your at the river and he is with you you can have him fish for you. You will love how he fishes. Also after you kill a bird and get the feathers if you hit it two more time it will drop more feathers for you each time.

Epic game❤❤ keep it up Kage!
the map is well done, it feels vast but you'll run into things quite often it doesn't feel empty.
Imagine best things from this game mixed with valheim.. a dream game
Food does go off. Best location is near squirrels as they keep respawning and are a easy to chase down.
Once your start exploring the green pings and the caves you'll never have to worry about food ever again. My food inventory has been full since about 3 hrs into the game.
If you stand about 2 meters from a river and tell kelvin to catch fish and drop here, he will supply you with an infinte amount of fish to eat, never have a food problem again, he is pretty much useless for every other task. Kelvin will eat, drink and rest when hes tired, without your input.
When building a floor base by the way, you don't need to make a plus. You can just go one direction with the logs and they will hold the planks.
First time hearing of the game, 8 minutes in and I'm really liking what I see. I'm gonna have to keep tabs on this one, thanks.
Love your vids! Can't wait for the next part keep it up man!
I always found that beach made a good base camp in the forest
Pls upload more content .. and thanks love it
Meat does go bad.I found turtles on the beach where the life raft is at
U can tell kelvin to find fish,but you need to close to the water
The struggle during winter is real...get a cabin up quick you guys...
Edit: speaking of sleds...anyone know what the 3d printed sled is for? Or how to use it...I tried sledding down a snowy hill, but nadda...
Wonder if there's a way to get a campfire in the cabin, without burning it down
Kage, Kelvin can fish for you, and along the shore you will find seagull very easy to kill (they drop feather and meat )
Hahaha funny man! A good tip when playing a game for the first time without knowledge is to press every button and function you can to learn as much as possible and not miss anything
Bruh just the tree chopping is so cool and realistic
The only downside to this game that I see is the eating animations such as when you ate the berries. Hopefully there will be an option to turn them off.

So she's op for no reason
Put a GPS tracker on her!
I have not seen fish in the water but if you are close to a stream that is deep water you can tell Kelvin to get fish for you.
The game looks so good
If you need food, you can have Kelvin fish for you.
the mutants can knock kelvin out lol and you have to give him emergeny aid lol
Absolutely love the building Mach’s 💯💯👍👍👍ps ya can find C4) 😁😁😁😁great episode 💯👍
This is how you do it Scott (Mist), watch Kelvin!
Sorry man but with that log drop I would be calling him Kevin as he’s definitely a Kevin!

Kevin fishes. He is your food source.
There was a dead body surrounded by rocks on the shore near the river that facing the sea and right at the sea you will see a raft and on that raft you can find a gun.
You can find the raft on the map because on that raft you can find a waypoint
You can be in the middle of the forest without any water near you, yet you'll hear a splash of water when you drop something on the ground
Water is under the map everywhere like many open worlds, drop it in the steam bug discussion and it should be fixed soon
Is there a log cart in this one? I loved it in The Forest
Yeah his name is Kelvin.. No cart yet...
@@blankanonymous5214 😆. Thanks. I hope they add a cart eventually.
This game and No one survives are the new survival meta now
If you build a log holder you can have Kelvin place them directly into it
How do you drop the logs you are holding, what key?
Now that this is out, I wonder if No One Survived will take a backseat since it didn't even rank in Kage's higher survival games
I think my Kelvin is broken. I told him to follow me but he won't leave my wall. I may have to remove some more of the logs to get him to come out... Plus I haven't seen the other companion in a while..
Does being tired affect your strength and stamina while awake?
It's easier to fish with an axe. You swing left and right, you get fish.
Cant w8 to see your base in this
The windows are not fine! It's driving me nuts! The building is truly setting a new bat, though. I loved it.
Kelvin can get fish for you
Not if you build your cabin too far from the river like Kage has. Building closer to water is probably better for drinking too, although you can 3D print a water bottle.
why not build near a watter source or lake for fish...?
Send Kelvin to get you food
I been throwing my spear at birds on the beach as well as turtles.
you should set your camp up at te3h mouth of a river and have kevin chop wood upstream and throw them in the water.
Looks like a realistic valheim with no magic yet.
I gotta get me a brain damaged servant in real life.
I really hope this comes to console
I got scared a made a base close the the ocean I seen a raft I went to it there was a gun and a suit after I seen 4 sharks around it somehow survived but the worst part I went to chop down trees then all of a sudden there was a cannibal boss I walked away and found out their base was basically right up there
The raft has a gun in it but watch the Great White
The building in this game is interesting, but weird. 😂
I built a 3 story mansion. lol!
door is 5 logs high
lol
Kelvin keeps chopping down my tree houses. He's such a jerk LOL
Have Kelvin get fish
Can tell Kelvin to fish
you have gernades lol not tnt turtles only give you armour and meat no water collecter,
So you can tell him the fish she would go he can fish for you
Next game is daughters of the forest followed by grandsons of the forest.
Daughters of the forests sounds very breed worthy or very girly in a horrible way... Chicks can't carry logs...
