Imagine if they build one giant cannibal town. Imagine if that town got invaded by a horde of the mutants, would be a crazy sight. Being in the middle of the town surrounded by hordes of em would probably feel like RE4 as well..
I can already see the small ones hurrying around with one of the big ones angrily pointing at stuff... that would be amazing. Although if the cannibals started to chop down trees, they'd have to be REALLY careful with that, that would shift the balance quite a bit, especially if it didn't require the player to be nearby.
one thing that's been mentioned a lot is the "filling out" of the map and small immersion things. i really think Endnight should do way more of these things.
Definitely really important. The Forrest felt more depressing because you kept seeing stuff everywhere. It felt more relatable as you saw suitcases from your flight around too. Also the game needs a lot more cutscenes I feel. For every early virginia appearance the cutscenes should be Resident Evil esque. Cutscenes right now are pretty static and goofy
@itizwhatitiz9560 i disagree. I heavily dislike the amount of cutscenes and forced animations for every little thing. It just makes the game take so long for no reason. If anything, give an option to turn the animating and cutscenes off to offer more replayability
@@roberturlaub8526 If you get to the point where you're finding and building the traps, your gear is likely at the point where the game has become easy.
What would be nice is if they would occasionally "spawn" a small village in random places based on the amount of overtaken villages. It would create the illusion of cannibals migrating and building. It'd be very immersive and somewhat combat the lack of villages in late game.
great to get your POV on this update, cheers. I have some catching up to do, have been waiting for enough extra content to make it worth while jumping in again. nice one mate!
Speaking as a game dev, I can guarantee you that if the feature seems cool and seems feasible, but is not implemented or on the roadmap, it's because there's a prioritized backlog. In the case of having the cannibals build stuff and attack your base, it's not enough having the mechanics tech (which they do, as you pointed out in Kevin's behaviours). That would be a very GD-heavy feature, probably require lots of testing (though they are being permissive with bugs in this early access). Having said that, that would be a killer feature!
I misheard the arrow types and thought it was "Shark" arrow. Thank you for covering the updates as always. I enjoy your knowledge of the game and seeing it. It helps me be better at the game.
Hey farket, watched your update videos from time to time. Love the content! I played extensively at launch, did pretty much anything you can think of, but would love to see an update video about the most impactful changes since launch summarized. Think it would make a pretty good vid too. Thanks for the content and hope you're doing well!
Endnight should put out a key or glossary of sorts for the building mechanics, explaining what each specific word that they use means (what is a beam? what is a pillar? etc.) would be great for understanding updates, and also give the community specific words to use when explaining building techniques. Great update video Farket, thanks for sharing!
Hopefully youre viewership begins to grow again when the game is complete i hate that im the one of many who only watch youre updates i genuinely wish you the best farket youre one of my favourite human beings on this site and have been there for so much of my life i hope you lead a prosperous and healthy life youve earned it
I love the double bed man, i would love to see more added to the shudders and some baskets for arrows and stuff, not to mention some end tables and table lamps would be cool. I do use furs as curtains though hehe. I usually play on peaceful mode realistic season. 😁😁 I always love you detailed updates and you're thoughts on the game farket.
These Update has me really excited. These features really expand some of the game play elements. But by far the most trilling part to me is how they're adding more to map. The since of atmosphere and reward for exploration drew me to play the first game, and it's great seeing more of that added to the sons of the forest. I'm not typically a horror or gore fan, but the, their games are just so great.
I love this update. Especially the arrows and traps. I wonder if we will eventually be able to add poison and shock to other weapons, at least spears maybe. I hope they change shock to 1 battery. Loved all of your ideas too.
you're the only youtuber i watch about sons of the forest, and i have no regrets waiting 24 hours for you to upload this video, which i will watch in delight while sipping my morning coffe, cheers !
One thing I don't like is once you get a bow and arrows it almost completely invalidates most of the enemies in the game. It's way to easy to headshot enemies and they just stand in front of you not doing anything waiting to die by headshot. It would be cool if they at least put their hands in front of them or something. Also stealth needs a rework because is doesn't look like it is working properly. When opening an inventory while crouched you should stay crouched that way you can safely retreat and craft in a bush while being stealthy if you don't play with inventory pause, also freelook from your inventory would be cool to check if enemies are close.
Well, cannibals have armor which can negate shotgun headshot. It would be nice if Big cannibals or Fat cannibals could wear armor too. Or if there were cannibals with shields just to make guns less OP.
Quick disclaimer for those struggling to find the gore couch. The devs moved the findable blueprint for it in this patch. It is now found in a fishing cabin in the mountains. If you start at the cave where you find the gore clock and go upstream, you'll get to the big frozen lake. Go along the right edge of the lake and you'll find the cabin. Inside of that cabin is the blueprint.
Could you imagine if they could build. Like they start building a village in an area you dont really go to. One day you end up there and there is this gigantic town that is ridiculously defended.
the new traps are so cool, a baby specific trap would be a god send, the babies are not phased by spikes unless they jump and the spring trap idk if they work because i dont travel to the beach to get the shells. the the addition of all these new traps makes me wanna redo my entire base lol
5:06 this gives me an idea about how they could utilize the golf carts as a trap as well. Perhaps using the logs to create a blueprint structure like a tunnel, to guide the vehicle through it upon the triggered event of an enemy crossing some rope or wire. Essentially ramming into said enemy crossing the rope / wire.
The shadow problem with the large bed is probably something to do with LOD shadows and i dont really think that endnight broke the spotlight i think they just have the light strength lower and have 2 lights inside of it to make an area and spotlight
In the U.S. there are a great many springs in the mountains that people go to to skinny dip. There are whole buildings built around springs like this. There are irrigation ditches that don't freeze from the hit springs near my home.
Send these note for devs : 1) add a blueprint for combining spot light & spear thrower. Which then can be mounted on towers or ledges/walls 2) make the lights spread atleast twice as far. Probably will affect performance a fair bit. 3) make the spear thrower free in 2 axis, updown & left-right, like how one would aim a bow 4) 2-to-3 levels of blueprint for special slots for enhanced arrows, so you can always have more normal arrows. like 30 normal ones & 20 special ones. The devs probably won't like it, but the crafting system in far cry 3-4 gradually expands capacity of carry items. Wish Endnight does something similar to that. 5) Extra vegetation on terrain is really good addition. Add more, & biome specific ones, like different ferns in snowy areas & different wines on edges of the lakes. 6) To make cannibal villages more creepy, make them a lot taller & slanted etc. I get that the scattered body parts around the villages add to the horror around it. That is more passive way of doing it. --- Player needs to have a little more fear when exploring the villages. - make the structures made by cannibals Dark, tall & creepy, more intimidating, like the nun from conjuring movies - have a scout cannibal/cannibles climb on those tall huts & use the height advantage for patrolling & alerting tribe members when they see you or mutants etc. ...In general, the cannibals should use/climb their own structures & player built ones to their advantage when fighting, rather than just charging. It was always a scary thought that a cannibal would randomly jump on you from the trees back in the forest. An attack from different height makes it scary rather than all attacks from ground level. - have cannibals set traps around their villages for players. 7) add a new cannibal/mutant that silently glides like a huge dark bat/vampire, attacking from above & flying in huge circles. Since it should be out of player's melee range for the most part, the damage should be low & repeated. Imagine if babies could fly. Not instantly deadly but scary & annoying over time... All the different types of traps really add to the passive gameplay mechanics. Wish Kevin can aim at different enemies when you are fighting in front of spear cannons. Awesome update❤
7:20 A good fix for the search lamps would be to (obviously) brighten them, but also include a tap in the recepie, since the tarps seem to be made out of a reflective material. Lightsource + cone/tube shape + reflective materiel inside = searchlight
I'm gonna have to replay this game after all the updates! Side note, I hope they buff the spear launcher and provide more stun animations for when enemies get hit. We saw in this video that some cannibals get skewered but they walk around for a bit not reacting to anything. I would imagine if you got hit with anything you'd flinch a bit especially with multiple spears right??
I wouldn't mind having the ability to route rope for trap triggers instead of the all-in-one packages. In addition, you could trigger multiple traps/spear throwers at once! Lot's of possibilities!
I feel like we’ll be able to mount a gun onto a rig of sticks or stones, power it, and make our own turrets eventually. And maybe the Artifact will be a power source, and not just the AI controller it was in the first game
something i hope they ad is the ability to dig trenches in areas with lots of open space, as well as adding a Draw Bridge, as that could lead to some REALLY cool builds becoming possible. for example, the trenches can be filled with spike traps and such, which leads to normal Canibals being either unable to cross it or die trying, but the special mutants like the double-ender one (dont remember the name atm) can go over the trench to the other side by adding an animation where it does so, but ad a balancing system where it CAN fail this animation check, leading to it falling into the trench and geting killed by traps, and hurting it before it reaches the trench increases the chance of it failing. the potential with this game is HUGE. and the way they are adding new locations and padding out the empty areas is incredibly cool!
games getting updated so much, made me decide to take a break after finishing my first playthrough on launch just to be amazed at how different it is a year or so from launch
Maybe the reason why nighttime passes faster is because they might have taken the day system, turned off the lights, and sped up time by a multiplier instead of making an entirely new system. I don’t really know for sure though
I would be great if End Night added a thing where canibals cut trees, and other stuff and start building and expanding their lil camp into a bigger camp then we could find or track a base camp down and we can raid it then maybe break sum stuff and when its completly raided their is a hidden stash around the camp somewhere that would be nice fr it gives the player a sense to go out and do sum or find resources
We actually do have a number of thermal springs, there's even one near me here in Victoria. I've never actually bathed in a thermal spring while in Australia still but people do. I have done it overseas though. It's pretty nice.
legit watching this and had a hot fix update and they upped the spotlight brightness and fixed the spear storage holding more than it was meant to lol.
Those traps look like so much lol, can't wait to jump back in after a few more updates, luckily Kelvin sleeps on the floor most of the time so Virginia can now share with me, i mean let's be real here after a while she's basically in love with the player, seriously though the fact that they added a double bed is amazing.
The thing with the spotlight is intentional small it's to lure enemies to specific area to ur base where maybe ur best trap may be. So the spotlight is awesome and good as it is not decoration
I do think cannibal camps should have more defences. Not only to make it more difficult since players can just rush in and grab the items and leave. But also make it feel like you the player are intruding on their land. Here are some ideas to spice their camps up: - ( Walls ) Walls would be used to protect the cannibals either from mutants or the player. But it would also be used as a way for players to sneak around the camp without being spotted directly. Making stealth a viable option for raids. Either you could throw a C4 to blow a hole, or maybe use a zipline rope to sneak in from above. - ( Traps ) Around the camp there would be spike pits with leafs covering the top intended for mutants to fall in or the player. Maybe even a snare trap that immobilzes the player and we need to cut the rope in order to escape before they kill us. - ( Terrain / locations ) I think this is a important factor in order to make the locations more memorable. Either camps set up at cliffs or maybe on an island. Maybe even inside a cave? I think the mountain region is also very barron in terms of cannibal camps. Would be cool to have nothern tribes that are covered in animal skins to keep warm. - ( Roles inside the camp ) I think certain cannibals should have various amounts of tasks or activities inside the camp. For example: Sleepers, scouters, eaters, guards.
A cool addition would be seasonal items, such as during December there could be a Christmas tree and other festive decorations. Or pumpkins that grow during autumn in October that you can carve out with the utility knife and light the inside. It'd also be nice if they saved and weren't destroyed after the period. (I'm not really sure if they should be or not, I'm conflicted on the matter.)
This game has the most amazing dev in term of update. The countdown until next update is one of the best thing in gaming i've ever seen in term of update. Even Bethesda take too long to update Starfield.
13:06 this enemy type would be fine in a game with a block, parry, or dodge but Sotf doesnt have either. Also im a little confused why they didnt just offer a list for notes that you can choose rather than going through each one slowly one by one when there is 40 pages in the game P.S That AI building idea is absolutely genius Farket!
@@thenose7254 Strafing is not dodging what are you smoking? Yes parrying and blocking exists but are barely even needed to be utliizedd because the game is so easy once you obtain guns or ranged weapons, the AI pose no threat.
@@nathanmitchell7961 When you strafe you are moving out of the way of attacks that would hit you. That's literally what dodging is. You are evading incoming damage. Just because it's not a Dark Souls s-based roll mechanic doesn't mean it's not dodging. I agree though, ranged weapons are really overpowered and enemies can barely counter them at all.
No, dodging is moving an instant succession in a specific direction, you're moving the goalposts because you just want to disagree.@@thenose7254 Defintion says: "avoid (someone or something) by a sudden quick movement." You dont have sudden movements by strafing slowly in one direction or the other, by this definition every game would need to only consist of strafing and no dodging mechanics. Wow such a mindblowing, intriguing gameplay mechanic for avoiding enemy attacks........just run in a circle, the whole combat system is incredibly basic.
the new traps are damn well made. they give me an tower defense game vibe. kinda like in night of the dead. they look kinda bs and perfect at the same time xD.
my biggest worry with the sons of the forest releasing in early access was that it wasnt going to have much at release and that they wouldnt put out much content after that. but god damn am i glad they proved me wrong. i just really hope the content doesnt stop.
the spotlights def have a more atmospheric feeling to them than being an actual light source. like that shot of your spotlight outside the door pointing out into the woods looks rly cool, but yeah it's kinda dim
The spear throwing trap would be nice to align along the fence where they keep attacking it. So when they go hit the fence the trap will spring and shoot along the fence line. 🤷🏼♂️
If the enemy's try to raid my base even by invading and building there, I would buy the game. The one thing I am missing in the game is a reason to build a base
what would be really cool and should absolutely be added is a rare kind of baby variant that spawns later game that looks slightly larger and has grey wrinkly skin, when you kill it a cloud of dry skin flies off and the baby grows into a mutant after it sheds its skin, or maybe a child mutant
I love your update videos so much. These videos are completely different to the most other content creators. Keep it up, I really appreciate your work ^^
It would be amazing if the enemies did gather resources and build new villages like you're talking about. Huge potential there.
Imagine if they build one giant cannibal town. Imagine if that town got invaded by a horde of the mutants, would be a crazy sight. Being in the middle of the town surrounded by hordes of em would probably feel like RE4 as well..
I can already see the small ones hurrying around with one of the big ones angrily pointing at stuff... that would be amazing. Although if the cannibals started to chop down trees, they'd have to be REALLY careful with that, that would shift the balance quite a bit, especially if it didn't require the player to be nearby.
@@leshape192 no thanks, ill just sit outside the village on a cliff and watch the chaos unfold lmfaoo
Come across a MASSIVE camp! That’d be sooooooooo coool
Imagine they can expand their own villages and and build traps and buildings
I love how the skull spinning trap is basically just a demonetization device
idk why they didnt add bones arrow...i loved that
@@archdelic how close is the game until the estimated time of release? There might still be time for them to add them
@@camerickoo4333 2 months now, fully releasing february. They're still going to update it afterwards too though.
@@camerickoo4333 release is planned for February
one thing that's been mentioned a lot is the "filling out" of the map and small immersion things. i really think Endnight should do way more of these things.
Yes I agree, this is something they need to do especially since the map is so big, it needs more content in certain areas.
Definitely really important. The Forrest felt more depressing because you kept seeing stuff everywhere. It felt more relatable as you saw suitcases from your flight around too.
Also the game needs a lot more cutscenes I feel. For every early virginia appearance the cutscenes should be Resident Evil esque. Cutscenes right now are pretty static and goofy
@itizwhatitiz9560 i disagree. I heavily dislike the amount of cutscenes and forced animations for every little thing. It just makes the game take so long for no reason. If anything, give an option to turn the animating and cutscenes off to offer more replayability
I got SO excited when i saw the spear shooter, they have to add a full blown ballista that would be really cool
aah im not sure about that. if the traps get to powerfull the game gets way to easy.
@@roberturlaub8526 If you get to the point where you're finding and building the traps, your gear is likely at the point where the game has become easy.
@@roberturlaub8526if they just made the difficulty super hard towards end game big traps would make sense
Thanks for the informative and consistent update reviews farket!!!!
What would be nice is if they would occasionally "spawn" a small village in random places based on the amount of overtaken villages. It would create the illusion of cannibals migrating and building. It'd be very immersive and somewhat combat the lack of villages in late game.
Yeah and maybe boost the spawn of the canabals late into the game bc eventually the only enemies left are creepys and mutants
You can tell how much effort farket puts into his videos. They're just so easy and relaxing to watch.
great to get your POV on this update, cheers. I have some catching up to do, have been waiting for enough extra content to make it worth while jumping in again. nice one mate!
Speaking as a game dev, I can guarantee you that if the feature seems cool and seems feasible, but is not implemented or on the roadmap, it's because there's a prioritized backlog. In the case of having the cannibals build stuff and attack your base, it's not enough having the mechanics tech (which they do, as you pointed out in Kevin's behaviours). That would be a very GD-heavy feature, probably require lots of testing (though they are being permissive with bugs in this early access).
Having said that, that would be a killer feature!
You keep it up man. Ur videos are what keeps me going through my engineering studies! Love it!
I believe the camp fires around the cannibal villages got cleaned up. They are definitely more noticeable.
I misheard the arrow types and thought it was "Shark" arrow. Thank you for covering the updates as always. I enjoy your knowledge of the game and seeing it. It helps me be better at the game.
Seeing this game come together and watching you cover the updates and play it is so exciting.
Hey farket, watched your update videos from time to time. Love the content! I played extensively at launch, did pretty much anything you can think of, but would love to see an update video about the most impactful changes since launch summarized. Think it would make a pretty good vid too. Thanks for the content and hope you're doing well!
Endnight should put out a key or glossary of sorts for the building mechanics, explaining what each specific word that they use means (what is a beam? what is a pillar? etc.) would be great for understanding updates, and also give the community specific words to use when explaining building techniques.
Great update video Farket, thanks for sharing!
YES! Thank you for adding those coords for the blueprints! Thats so awesome.
Wow, I love the way you edited these clips together with the progress bar at the top. Kudos to finding a way to make your content even better!

I do use furs as curtains though hehe. I usually play on peaceful mode realistic season. 😁😁 I always love you detailed updates and you're thoughts on the game farket.
Arrows can be stored on shelves, so no need to wait for baskets!
Noice! I like your idea of cannibal base defense. It would make good use of all the traps
Man! Perfect timing! I was about to play and saw the update, came here and you'd uploaded the video 6 minutes ago!
Whoever came up with that spin trap definitely was a Half Life fan! Respect! This was a fun update

They could add a mushroom garden like the previous game to grow mushroom.

Dear lord, a full inventory is an intimidating amount of crafting resources at your fingertips
I love the fire arrow crafting animation you throw the bottle at the arrows
Quick disclaimer for those struggling to find the gore couch.
The devs moved the findable blueprint for it in this patch. It is now found in a fishing cabin in the mountains.
If you start at the cave where you find the gore clock and go upstream, you'll get to the big frozen lake. Go along the right edge of the lake and you'll find the cabin.
Inside of that cabin is the blueprint.
I agree so much with the fact that cannibals should be able to build
Literally was looking for when you were going to make your vid for this! Love you hope your sickness goes away soon! :3

Sound good when talking, glad you happier .😊😊
17:30 Canible villages don't update well. You might want to try looking at it with a new save.

All the different types of traps really add to the passive gameplay mechanics.

Fantastic update, and equally fantastic coverage! Thank you so much Farket for all of the diligence🫶
I wouldn't mind having the ability to route rope for trap triggers instead of the all-in-one packages. In addition, you could trigger multiple traps/spear throwers at once! Lot's of possibilities!
The return of the sacred fire arrows
I feel like we’ll be able to mount a gun onto a rig of sticks or stones, power it, and make our own turrets eventually. And maybe the Artifact will be a power source, and not just the AI controller it was in the first game
Definitely gonna try living out of that cave in the fishing village, seems like an amazing bunker to keep storage/a secure bed in
something i hope they ad is the ability to dig trenches in areas with lots of open space, as well as adding a Draw Bridge, as that could lead to some REALLY cool builds becoming possible.
for example, the trenches can be filled with spike traps and such, which leads to normal Canibals being either unable to cross it or die trying, but the special mutants like the double-ender one (dont remember the name atm) can go over the trench to the other side by adding an animation where it does so, but ad a balancing system where it CAN fail this animation check, leading to it falling into the trench and geting killed by traps, and hurting it before it reaches the trench increases the chance of it failing.
the potential with this game is HUGE. and the way they are adding new locations and padding out the empty areas is incredibly cool!
games getting updated so much, made me decide to take a break after finishing my first playthrough on launch just to be amazed at how different it is a year or so from launch
They released a hotfix that makes the spotlight brighter and more. Maybe you could make another vid on it!
I like how one of the hands on the clock has a watch on it :)
Perfect example of a dedicated, informed, exemplar youtuber. I hope your real persona is as true as your youtube one, best regards mr. Farket
Maybe the reason why nighttime passes faster is because they might have taken the day system, turned off the lights, and sped up time by a multiplier instead of making an entirely new system. I don’t really know for sure though

i love ur videos mate almost at 500 thousand subs that's amazing
I would love to forget completely everything about this game, came back after 3 years and enjoy it exactly how i enjoyed the first Forest...
Awesome! Thanks for doing these 🙂
i think they should also add new achievements to give the game abit more of a challange
Awesome review!! Thank you!

The thing with the spotlight is intentional small it's to lure enemies to specific area to ur base where maybe ur best trap may be. So the spotlight is awesome and good as it is not decoration
I do think cannibal camps should have more defences.
Not only to make it more difficult since players can just rush in and grab the items and leave.
But also make it feel like you the player are intruding on their land.
Here are some ideas to spice their camps up:
- ( Walls )
Walls would be used to protect the cannibals either from mutants or the player.
But it would also be used as a way for players to sneak around the camp without being spotted
directly.
Making stealth a viable option for raids.
Either you could throw a C4 to blow a hole, or maybe use a zipline rope to sneak in from above.
- ( Traps )
Around the camp there would be spike pits with leafs
covering the top intended for mutants to fall in or the player.
Maybe even a snare trap that immobilzes the player and we need to cut the rope in order
to escape before they kill us.
- ( Terrain / locations )
I think this is a important factor in order to make the locations more memorable.
Either camps set up at cliffs or maybe on an island.
Maybe even inside a cave?
I think the mountain region is also very barron in terms of cannibal camps.
Would be cool to have nothern tribes that are covered in animal skins to keep warm.
- ( Roles inside the camp )
I think certain cannibals should have various amounts of tasks or activities inside the camp.
For example:
Sleepers, scouters, eaters, guards.
I put the spotlight high up and it was actually very potent
I tested out the new arrows and I think they could be good for the forge thing over all I think good update
A cool addition would be seasonal items, such as during December there could be a Christmas tree and other festive decorations. Or pumpkins that grow during autumn in October that you can carve out with the utility knife and light the inside. It'd also be nice if they saved and weren't destroyed after the period. (I'm not really sure if they should be or not, I'm conflicted on the matter.)
This game has the most amazing dev in term of update. The countdown until next update is one of the best thing in gaming i've ever seen in term of update. Even Bethesda take too long to update Starfield.
13:06 this enemy type would be fine in a game with a block, parry, or dodge but Sotf doesnt have either. Also im a little confused why they didnt just offer a list for notes that you can choose rather than going through each one slowly one by one when there is 40 pages in the game
P.S That AI building idea is absolutely genius Farket!
SOTF has literally all 3 of those, lol. You can block, you can tap the block button to parry and you can dodge by strafing.
@@thenose7254 Strafing is not dodging what are you smoking? Yes parrying and blocking exists but are barely even needed to be utliizedd because the game is so easy once you obtain guns or ranged weapons, the AI pose no threat.
@@nathanmitchell7961 When you strafe you are moving out of the way of attacks that would hit you. That's literally what dodging is. You are evading incoming damage. Just because it's not a Dark Souls s-based roll mechanic doesn't mean it's not dodging.
I agree though, ranged weapons are really overpowered and enemies can barely counter them at all.
No, dodging is moving an instant succession in a specific direction, you're moving the goalposts because you just want to disagree.@@thenose7254
Defintion says: "avoid (someone or something) by a sudden quick movement."
You dont have sudden movements by strafing slowly in one direction or the other, by this definition every game would need to only consist of strafing and no dodging mechanics.
Wow such a mindblowing, intriguing gameplay mechanic for avoiding enemy attacks........just run in a circle, the whole combat system is incredibly basic.
I love the skull on that grind trap!
the new traps are damn well made. they give me an tower defense game vibe. kinda like in night of the dead. they look kinda bs and perfect at the same time xD.
my biggest worry with the sons of the forest releasing in early access was that it wasnt going to have much at release and that they wouldnt put out much content after that. but god damn am i glad they proved me wrong. i just really hope the content doesnt stop.
It would be cool to see you make a kill box or kill tunnels/structures with your building skills 🔥
the spotlights def have a more atmospheric feeling to them than being an actual light source. like that shot of your spotlight outside the door pointing out into the woods looks rly cool, but yeah it's kinda dim
they just released a hotfix in which they increased the range and brightness of the spotlight
The spear throwing trap would be nice to align along the fence where they keep attacking it. So when they go hit the fence the trap will spring and shoot along the fence line. 🤷🏼♂️
Grino Trap is now my favorite trap. 👍 It's hilarious.
Wow, this game is evolving into the ultimate survival simulator
Clearly very (very) far from it...
@@nawack2774 don’t understand
thanks for showing us the new updates :D
🚴
The turtleshell trap works on babies.
and the flyswatter traps as well
If the enemy's try to raid my base even by invading and building there, I would buy the game. The one thing I am missing in the game is a reason to build a base
was waiting for this! thanks farket
what would be really cool and should absolutely be added is a rare kind of baby variant that spawns later game that looks slightly larger and has grey wrinkly skin, when you kill it a cloud of dry skin flies off and the baby grows into a mutant after it sheds its skin, or maybe a child mutant
Finally different arrows!
I love your update videos so much. These videos are completely different to the most other content creators. Keep it up, I really appreciate your work ^^
Man i love this game.
That grind trap seems awesome!
2:53 Shoutout to this good zipline idea!
I was waiting for this, played on update day
I love how the character just breaks the liquor bottle on the tip
You got that funky groove :)
Feels like sons of the forest is still early access, everyone and their mama is still playing the first forest
Thank You Game for a Proper bed tired of sleeping on sticks👍
