Forest: The best base locations
The Forest is an amazing survival horror game that has a lot of options to build a great base, but it's important to choose the right location.
By focusing on essential items related to shelter, food, water, and defense, a player can greatly improve their chances of surviving the early days of the game and progressing further. Some early game items are absolutely essential, especially those that help the player store food and water. A solid house is also something the player should build as soon as possible, although it can be delayed until then production base was covered.

Weak Spear
For protection and hunting
Starting at Forest follows a fairly common survival game template. The first thing a player needs to do is to secure a source of water and food, as well as create a basic shelter. To achieve these goals, they will need to create something to hunt and protect. The Weak Spear this is the easiest option.

Les: 10 best weapons, ranking
To stay safe and destroy monsters, players need the right weapons. Here are the best tools to stay alive in The Forest.
The weak spear is, well, weak, but it's good enough in the early game to kill birds and small animals for food, as well as being used as a defensive weapon, as it has a good range, meaning cannibals can be kept at bay. Since it only takes two sticks to build, it's a no-brainer.

Basic fire
To warm and cook
After the player has crafted the Weak Spear, he can hunt small game and birds, and can fish in ponds. However, it is not advisable to eat raw meat. In addition, raw meat in the player's inventory spoils very quickly.
Creation Basic fire gives the player the ability to cook any meat obtained while hunting. This makes the meat more edible and also increases the time it takes for the meat to spoil. Also, Basic Fire is all that is needed to keep the player warm at night.

As mentioned, a basic fire is all a player needs to keep warm in the cold of night, but it still makes sense to build a hunting shelter early on. Having a shelter provides two benefits. First, it can be used to sleep at night, which moves the hands of the clock forward to the morning. Second, it can be used to trigger a save game.
A hunting shelter is quick and easy to build and can be placed near a fire. The player will need to use their ax (which is a spawn item) to chop down some trees to get the necessary logs, but it's fairly quick to do.

Water skin
Expanding the range of research
Food and drinks take center stage Forest. Food is fairly easy to obtain, but fresh water is only available from pools that the player can drink from. This means that the player needs to find a source of water regularly while exploring.

Hunting with a Basic Spear is fine for small game, but a ranged weapon is better for larger animals. The Made bow it is the easiest ranged weapon to craft Forest. However, it must be said that it may take some time to master its use.
Ordinary arrows are quite easy to make. They only need 1 stick and 5 quills to make a stack of 5 arrows. Another advantage of the crafted bow is that it is fairly stealthy and can be used (carefully) to take out cannibals without causing a larger attack.

Water reservoir
Local water source

Even if the player made a water skin Forestthey will still need to travel frequently to a source of clean water to replenish it. This can become a bit of a chore, especially if the player has built a base some distance from such a water source.
Building a Water reservoir makes sense and is something every player will want to create. It collects rainwater, which the players can then drink. Turtle shells are very easy to come by as there are many turtles along the shoreline of every beach.

A small office
To store resources
Player's inventory in Forest quite small, and after only one or two hours of play, it already requires more storage space. The easiest storage container to make is this A small officeand it only takes a few magazines.

Forest: the best sources of light
Among the available light sources in The Forest, some may surpass the rest in terms of practicality and affordability.
However, players should consider where they want to place their main base before starting to craft storage containers, as emptying them and moving them later will be a bit of a challenge. There are also special containers for storing weapons and other specific resources such as logs.

A safe base
Consider a houseboat

The only way to completely protect yourself from cannibal attacks is Forestis to build a base that they cannot reach. There are several options for this. The player can build a tree house or a specially designed structure on the ground. However, this will still mean that the cannibals can lay siege to the player's base.
A good option is a house-boat. It can be built on the shoreline and moved so far out to sea that the cannibals can't reach it. Also, it can be easily moved if the player decides to move to another area.
