The only reason I played The Forest and Sons of The Forest is because I love building a safe place in a world full of dangers. My peak sweet spot is when I manage to build a very safe house and I just hang out there, cooking, building small stuff, chilling. That's where my real life anxiety and depression find true relief. Can't wait to do the same in real life, I'm working on it so hard
@@Adrian-tz8kz yes its rlly hard at first as its heavily focused on the survival part , if u like that then its a good game for u fs, also got a cool story
The trick to melee is circling around them while attacking with a fast weapon. Katana is the best in the game and once you get used to it you rarely lose armor. (machete works too it just takes more hits) If you really like the slow hard hitting weapons (I know you do) then you just have to get the timing down, but is still doable while circling around them. I have repeated this tactic in comments a few times since your 1st season on here when "skinnies" were driving you crazy, not to annoy, but because I want you to enjoy the combat and game more...
12:15 fun fact there are 2 usual differences/aspects of a food that dictate it as either soup or stew. stews more often than not use some sort of roux to thicken the liquids and you never call a substance that has a thickener in it a "soup". soups usually have the liquid mixture as its main part of the dish, not meats or anything chunky in it. so a rule of thumb can be, its a stew if its thick and has little actual liquidyness and a soup if its almost mainly 1-3 liquid ingredients
so i guess most of the stuff in sons would be stews since it has a lot of heartyness due to the full bits of meat, fish, and mushrooms but they really do look like just soups with how much liquid there is.
so I've watched a few of your sons of the forest vids and now subscribed idk if it's the way you speak or the videos being so well done. but you speak so calmly it's relaxing 😂 great vids
The melee fighting in this game is just bad tbh. If some stupid shit starts swinging at you, you'll receive heavy dmg and often cannot leave or interrupt their strikes after the first. And the hitboxes are so wonky and far too large.
Farket, in case you didnt know if you place the stick down and can look towards the top and place a 2nd stick, then afterwards place the 3 rocks to stabilize the structure, then if you so choose you can place custom sticks (like how you attack limbs) at custom angles. Hope this helps.
I've used rivers as a way to transport logs in a lot of my bases. You can use stragglers and weird logs (3/4s or 1/4s) to make a dam and have them flow down. I haven't really used it much since we got the log sled because as you say they can jam up on occasion and require manual agitation to keep flowing, but it's a cool method of transport.
I’ve been watching your vids since the Forest came out on console. Finished the story for sons of the forest and seeing your name in the credits was awesome.
I tried making an island of just Kelvin spawns .....for experimental purposes..........and my PC said NOPE! I vote for a silly mod upload. Your builds are way better than I could ever do and your PC is probably stronger to handle it. Initially, I tried building on a random island to put them on - I think this location would be perfect. XD
13:40 that’s probably one of the logs he kicked through the map earlier. This makes building on beaches much better with all the stuff falling through the map. Kelvin can just pick up the logs floating on the water underneath.
1:50 I think it’s placement makes sense. It felt as this is someone was bringing supply’s to the bunker and 3D printer, as with most resin printers you need to wash the final print in isopropyl alcohol to rinse off the extra resin as it is a extreme irritant to our skin.
Definitely always put my log holders next to a wall or a tree, so the logs have to hit something, stop, and drop. If I'm going not doing a wall or tree, I put the line -through- the holder. Had the most success using those methods, not "shooting" logs towards a holder further back.
12:30 If you are out of render range the log holding up the zipline doesn't exist. Thus the logs you send over reach the end of said zipline with no obstruction.
Hey Farky, if you double tap block you do a wierd wave with your weapon, its actually a parry, if you do it right as an enemy hits you, you deflect the attack and sometimes stum them, it takes practice, but you can parry as quickly as you can block, and its very effective
I found a few low forest areas just above the snow line that bases are out of enemy movement and attack zones, but they are always cold. Also built bases on top of the higher rmountsin ridges for cross map zipline points and cold meet storage. Not accessable by enemies Kalvin or Virginia.
Also, try the build underwater mod. Just push the " button to turn on and off. You can build on the ocean floor, bridges, jumping points, zip line points, and even bases. Same with deep lakes. .Great for making long-distance water crossing without zip lines needed. You can also walk and hunt shark's, which is cool in itself.
i really enjoy having the guns in the sons of the forest, the melee in both games was kinda lack luster and is way more fun shooting the canibals and mutants with the guns rather then melee then down like zombies
The old "side step and swing" as they rush in too attack seems to do me quite well in melee combat, sometimes you can get a second hit into their back. Parry a lot and I've found preemptively starting a power attack as you move into range helps the chances of it landing.
Melee being worse than ranged is the same reason that melee is worse than ranged in real life. People don't use swords anymore because it's worse than using guns
Melee is alot slower and more tactical. Keep your block up and learn the move sets of the enemies. If an enemy attacks two times, pauses, and then attacks three times, keep you block up while moving backwards to avoid most strikes. If you attack after the first two attacks, you will get hit. If you wait for the three attacks to end, you can then power attack and do substantial damage or one shot them. Rinse and repeat. Almost all enemies have an opening like this that can be exploited with patience. Most of my group gets hurt when they rush combat or try and attack aggressively looking for a frenetic battle. Slow and methodical and you can kill everything without taking a single hit.
That's a nice little spot. Building around water is always annoying though. I really hope we get boats soon. Maybe the ability to make a fishing rod too. And of course, a still or something for ocean water.
Whatever it's worth there is a large shallow body of water that I think is supposed to be a swamp in the SE corner of the map. Ai does not seem to go into it(yet).
Mobs won't wade in salt water. So sea island bases are safest. You might have to swim one way or another if the tribes are waiting for you on the beaches, though…
this game literally has nothing to offer after 1 playthrough and that itself isn't much.. i applaud you for being able to play this game even if it's only for your channel.
In respect to melee and ranged - and whether you need melee when ranged is so OP. I like to have the ranged option as general use when attacked whilst building, but when I want a challenge or against babies etc I will switch to melee. Thank you for making a concerted effort to reduce the amount of moaning and complaining. Much more enjoyable.
Just build in ice, as long as you made platforms (4 logs and fillers), you can still walk in them when the ice melts, and the cannibals caint reach you.
Is there a bug with unpacking leather wallets falling from savages? When opening several wallets, there is a display of several pieces of meat or soda, but then when calculating it turns out that only one was added to the backpack. It's not normal.
I built 4 lean-to manually and had the same issues. The blueprint can include straight forward common building but the player has to tinker to get it right and that's in desperate need for a fix
Verry interesting Video! Thx for that. I love it to build large Structures in this game, also at interesting locations, so now i found a new one on sea. But i have 2 questions about what i saw here: First, from where do you got soooo much Zipline-Ropes. Every time I need some, it takes a lot of time to find just 2 of them... Second, you got an add-on on the Zipline-Tool (sry, doesn't know the real word^^), which shows the distance for the roples. I donen't know, that this exist. Can me smb tell, where i can find it? It makes it sooo much easier to build this lines! Thx a lot! Have a great time!
I built my house on stilts in the shallow sea near the life raft gun spawn and nearest to the fresh water river as virginia needs it. Perfectly safe from attacks they just beat up kelvin on the beach so I gadda save my buddy. Withe the recent update the spear guy kept sending me extra spears so I returned to sender. For melee I just run circles around enemies, cannibals miss me and I hit them in the back. The stagger from the forest is soo badly missing here.
Have you ever considered maybe 1440p videos with higher graphics presents since your gpu doesn't run 4k max settings well. Since there's really not much people fully utilising 4k in your videos but a lot more people would enjoy higher graphics settings. Noticed at the start with the weird shadows

u should play green hell my man
@@SpoiledMilk321 damn its my first time hearing green hell is it good?
@@Adrian-tz8kz yes its rlly hard at first as its heavily focused on the survival part , if u like that then its a good game for u fs, also got a cool story
Hell yea, it's always a good day when our man farket uploads!
hell yeah it is!
Now he just needs to learn the glory of the crafted torch.
Absolutely!

actually now that i think about it theyre all more like stocks than anything else since you arent preparing ANY of the ingredients lol
so I've watched a few of your sons of the forest vids and now subscribed idk if it's the way you speak or the videos being so well done. but you speak so calmly it's relaxing 😂 great vids
LOD shadows... always there to pull you out of the immersion.
Or when you find a weird camera angle at which the shadow disappears
If you still are having problems with the melee remember to use the katana and the parry option

1:56 at the camp where you get the modern axe theres a pvc/3d printed gun rack that i think would be cool to be implemented as weapon holders
I'm pretty sure it's in the files

I’m really excited to start my second playthrough when full release comes out but for now these videos will hold me over!
I like the custom sound effects of chopping and dropping logs 18:23
revisiting your season videos because of this positive energy you've breathed back into your content. Welcome back man
I’ve been watching your vids since the Forest came out on console. Finished the story for sons of the forest and seeing your name in the credits was awesome.
It always makes my day when farket uploads. even if it isnt sotf or the forest!
Ive found that my favorite way to fight melee is too charge up an attack and run in and rush them while evading, always staying moving

4:24 famous last words. Now it's on Endnight's chopping block.
Farket is number one sons of the forest news

Dear Farket i love you and thank you for all the hard work you put into making content for us, sincerely a really huge fan jayoh

Glad to watch another episode
you are my favorite sons of the forest youtuber :) (top 10 favorite youtubers)
Hey Farky, if you double tap block you do a wierd wave with your weapon, its actually a parry, if you do it right as an enemy hits you, you deflect the attack and sometimes stum them, it takes practice, but you can parry as quickly as you can block, and its very effective
You just need to tap once
Hey man I love seeing you do zipline stuff also hope you feel better soon!

13:38 Kelvin actually took the log from the zip line, you can see its disappearing from the line at the same time he collects it. :D
"where kelvin gets those logs, unless he is taking them out of zipline I was laughing a lot haha"

People don't use swords anymore because it's worse than using guns
We love the Zip lines!!!!!!
how did you get that when you place logs it doesn't do the animations?
If you tap right click one time, you parry. Seems to be a pretty efficient way to kill things with just melee, if you can get the timing down.
If you're still having trouble with the log catchers try placing the zip line a little lower on the receiving end.
Still a long way from consoles but I definitely plan on using this. Thanks for the tips!
You doing great, love your videos from the forest ;>>

Honestly that zipline trick is insane itll save hours upon hours defo going to use myself no more towers
That's a nice little spot. Building around water is always annoying though. I really hope we get boats soon. Maybe the ability to make a fishing rod too. And of course, a still or something for ocean water.
That's awesome being able to zipline everywhere lol
1:30 you actually can get another circuit board from the TV
The water depth thing you had issue with. I can usually get my feet replanted if I jump. It's consistent enough for me to break out of swim
Farket for the win!!!!
Whatever it's worth there is a large shallow body of water that I think is supposed to be a swamp in the SE corner of the map. Ai does not seem to go into it(yet).

perfect timing
Just build in ice, as long as you made platforms (4 logs and fillers), you can still walk in them when the ice melts, and the cannibals caint reach you.
How about making a whole village on the golfcourse? I'd love to see what you can come up with
@farket did you know that you can store cannibal heads in top of the sticks! For special meals.
Get well bro!
Poisonous mushrooms are all the rage in Australia at the moment
much improvement
You can sort of use a log sled as a boat to carry things in water.
4:29 How did you get the range to show up on the zipline gun? Super useful
13:38 he teleported that log off the line 😅
I think isopropanol is isopropyl alc aka acetone. ppl use acetone more often. clean stuff i guess
"One woman Vs 2 fingers, what could go wrong?"
- Farket 2023
They should make it to where you can take the cannibals armor after you kill them that would be a cool feature for the game
Can’t wait this to come to console gonna be crazy, or hopefully I will have a pc soon to play this magnificent game
14:18 had the same problem when trying to make a loft area for the new bed. Ruined my whole house.
Great video. Do you think they'll ever add fire arrows and rafts back to the game? I loved having a raft base in The Forest.
I've had the same "equipped state" glitch. Have to get knocked down or "stay underwater too long" to fix it without console commands.
If I were to play this game I'd definitely make a bridge for Virginia and Kelvin. I wouldn't want them near the cannibals.
You use the poisonous mushrooms for poison arrows they work sooooo good
Your videos have de-evolved into zipline simulator lol, I see em so much here, I've retired them in my games haha
the trick to melee is harness your inner dark souls dodge roll timing and parry them
very good video
A 👍 and a comment for the algorithm
Had the same bug with Virginia burning 😱 had to go back to the last save.
Is there a bug with unpacking leather wallets falling from savages? When opening several wallets, there is a display of several pieces of meat or soda, but then when calculating it turns out that only one was added to the backpack. It's not normal.
Maybe increase the armour reward if you use melee weapons? Or reduce it for ranged?
He's *still* using the wood tool for combat despite having the katana! 😹
I built 4 lean-to manually and had the same issues. The blueprint can include straight forward common building but the player has to tinker to get it right and that's in desperate need for a fix
We need another tree less video with all these updates friend! please and thank you
Verry interesting Video! Thx for that. I love it to build large Structures in this game, also at interesting locations, so now i found a new one on sea.
But i have 2 questions about what i saw here:
First, from where do you got soooo much Zipline-Ropes. Every time I need some, it takes a lot of time to find just 2 of them...
Second, you got an add-on on the Zipline-Tool (sry, doesn't know the real word^^), which shows the distance for the roples. I donen't know, that this exist. Can me smb tell, where i can find it? It makes it sooo much easier to build this lines!
Thx a lot!
Have a great time!
There are TV's in the bunkers that can be hit for circuit boards.
Farket, the trick to melee is to use the katana
A nerf to range would be cool. It doesn’t even have to be a nerf. It could be a rework to how range items work. Add a flashlight to bow, etc
13:38 That's most likely one of the logs that fell underneath the map
no he pulled it off the zipline lol
@@Mrcatguyy Oh I didn't see that lmao
I built my house on stilts in the shallow sea near the life raft gun spawn and nearest to the fresh water river as virginia needs it.
Perfectly safe from attacks they just beat up kelvin on the beach so I gadda save my buddy.
Withe the recent update the spear guy kept sending me extra spears so I returned to sender.
For melee I just run circles around enemies, cannibals miss me and I hit them in the back. The stagger from the forest is soo badly missing here.
That wasn't an invisible log, Calvin can still teleport logs from your base if he can't reach it and pulls them off your ziplines as well
I think melee works like the Forest where the more you use it the better you get
We need those boats to rock this island bases (and a bigger river to navigate inland)
Making my way downtown, zip lining fast cannibals past and im home bound.
Love you❤
How did you get this clear water that you can see the sharks?
Have you ever considered maybe 1440p videos with higher graphics presents since your gpu doesn't run 4k max settings well. Since there's really not much people fully utilising 4k in your videos but a lot more people would enjoy higher graphics settings. Noticed at the start with the weird shadows
You should be able to toggle between building places
Should I buy this game? Because I have the forest but not sure I will like it after watching your stuff.
I think you should use the katana more. When i was playing this game it was very good
is there any word if they plan to add houseboats to the game? that was my fav part of the first game
