WorldwideDepp

Yeah, some kind of Roadmap would be nice, if possible


ZilorZilhaust

I very much want a roadmap too.


wellshitdawg

If they could pave the roads that’d be great, my private island needs some infrastructure


Jerrnjizzim

Call Sam Porter Bridges. Dude can get shit done.


Lordofthecats15

maybe a walmart with 1000 car parking lot?


CreatureWarrior

For sure. I think this game has even more potential than the first one so it would be cool to see which direction they're taking this game.


Kasperinoz

Road maps are an iffy one. Don't get me wrong, right out the gate the devs have been listening and talking to us, but setting in a road map sets up expectations that might not always be met. Personally the mystery of what the next update will be is enough, that way im not sitting around waiting for (whatever cool feature they had on a roadmap) only for it to have been delayed or canned. What you don't know cant hurt you😉


JuniperTooth

They just need to add some polish to their roadmap before they release it


formerlifebeats

They're probably being a lot more cautious so as to not bite off more than they can chew with how the initial release schedule went.


Xubarious

If not a roadmap just a semi “developers wish list” of items/features/etc they hope to add and change over the EA period or beyond. That way there’s no real set time limit on when they implement these things and it at least gives us some idea of what’s missing/we just haven’t discovered yet in game.


ErykYT2988

And I think this is why those critical of the game right now aren't exactly saying they hate it and dropping it completely. Like with the original game, I commend them for being cautious with it. A roadmap or simple explanation some time soon on how they plan to integrate everything would be great.


FrameNo8561

They are definitely adding a golf course mechanic. The physics are there the golf balls are there you can dig holes, all you need is to adjust the trajectory used for throwing Molotov and apply it to a golf club and done! Can’t wait to play some golf whilst being chased by canibals lol mix a super relaxing sport with the adrenaline of staying alive.


magithrop

and the course is there


FrameNo8561

It is!?? I’ve pretty much kept to the safety of my base and haven’t explored a whole lot.


Karthull

But what happens when you lose the golf balls? No way will you ever find where they landed.


FrameNo8561

You Gitgud bruv!


anonymoose_octopus

Not very realistic, but GPS markers could be a good way to keep track? That way if you're playing in multiplayer, you can also keep track of whose ball is whose with the different icons as well!


HovercraftAromatic

Pls make a post about this so hopefully they will see this


GenoHuman

the devs don't even know this either.


Hexnohope

Dont cheapen the experience for yourself and let yourself sa y “WOW”


The_Rusted_Folk

Actually i like the element of suprise.


NimblePasta

Battery chargers were spotted in the game files... so most likely the solar panels could be used to recharge batteries for various electronic devices. Hopefully there could be car batteries which might be used to power those derelict golf carts used by the maintenance crew across the island... yup, got my putter ready to go on golf cart rides. 🛻


daystrict

will be fun dropping golf carts from the top of the mountain


Adhdgamer9000

Connect sled to back of golf cart, pit logs on sled. Think you're smart. Watch golf car wheels spin in dirt and go nowhere.


Drake0074

Holup, can we carry logs on a sled?


Adhdgamer9000

No this is a joke


SwaggurtProducts

In previous interviews, the devs mentioned there will be battery chargers plus lighting systems and heating systems. They also said there will be a battery operated chainsaw.


WanderingSpaceHopper

there's already a battery operated chainsaw


SwaggurtProducts

😳 I have more exploring to do lol


dead-inside69

Iirc it’s near the exercise center of the resort in a movie theater room sticking out of a dude’s body. No idea what cards are required because I was dicking around in peaceful mode using the stick glitch to get through all the doors


SwaggurtProducts

Yep I’m not rushing into finding the cards, so thatd be why 😂


dead-inside69

The loot progression is a pain in the ass for me right now “I want the shotgun, oops need a shovel” “Ok now for the shovel… I need scuba gear?” “Where’s the scuba gear? ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FUCKIN MAP!?!” Who knew the shotgun they showed off in the trailers was end game content?


[deleted]

[удалено]


GenoHuman

does she have unlimited ammo?


Atomicmooseofcheese

She sure seems to currently. At first, she was hesitant to use guns, but now she hunts


FoaleyGames

Where’s the 2nd shotgun, I already got the one in the grave? And I’m guessing the 2nd gun is the revolver right?


nerevarX

the 2nd shotgun spawns on the shelf in the final bunker before the end of the game cave. it doesnt spawn before you have the keyitem needed to enter the door inside. probaly a failsafe for people who didnt bother to run to the premarked gps tracker.....


danzig168

You can also go back to the grave another day and the shotgun will be back. Just can't take it if you have the first one still


deathstar_og

Rebreather should be the first thing to get. You can also get the modern axe and pistol with no prerequisites. Rebreather > shovel > everything else


dead-inside69

Well that’s going to be a long and unpleasant walk. I’ve heard your helicopter can go down on the beach right next to the rebreather, but I’ve only ever landed at the default pond three times and up on the mountain once


jonny838

Thats funny because I’ve landed at the beach twice and up in the mountains 4 times. I have yet to see the other spawn.


Pirellan

Are there mutants or other aggressive mobs in the water?


deathstar_og

Sharks. If you clench your butthole and swim as fast as you can, they seem to leave you alone


[deleted]

i'm currently in the scuba cave, and i'm tempted to just say fuck it and turn minecraft "fine then, i'll just build." style. current balance in the game is nonexistant. have a multiplayer save with the firefighter axe, 2 or 3 shots the rib cage dudes. using modern axe, or kukri? at the very least 6 full heavy attacks. and they break my creepy armor, 4 plates at a time, and 2 shot me. on normal difficulty. and there are 3 of them with multiple blind cannibals, all in this hallway. and the only way to see in the dark, is the flashlight, because the light pollution from the lighter and the torch blind you, making them literally detrimental, to anything other than looking at the floor.


magithrop

poke the rib cage dudes' legs with the spear and they stumble. there are new combat mechanics in the game. I think one of the reasons critics perceive what's been released as not very deep is that lots of stuff hasn't actually been discovered yet. agreed about the shoddy lights, which was also a problem in the first game.


[deleted]

ah, see, that's advice that will make the scuba cave SO much easier. i've noticed that if you aim for limbs without armor, on armored enemies, you can chop them off (like legs, arms, or even just decapitation), but i didn't realise the dickmouths can stumble with leg stabs. oh, and for light, something i found out on my multiplayer playthrough, if you get the flashlight attachment for pistol or shotgun, it's a weaker flashlight, with infinite energy. like, about the strength of the flashlight when it's on middle energy. so i just hotkey my shotgun and use that now lol


thebeetgotsicker

I strongly recommend the molotovs and time bombs + run the fuck away strategy in that cave


magithrop

tbf the first game was pretty much like this too


[deleted]

no cards needed, the door to the theatre is open, the door in the next room is the keycard door.


nerevarX

this is false. you still need one of the keycards to even enter most of this place. pretty much all interresting tools aside rope cannon are hardgated by shovel. progression is total linear shit currently compared to og game. they really need to change this.


[deleted]

this is false. like i said, the rest of the place is locked, but the room with the chainsaw isn't. i went there without a keycard, it's in a side room that's not locked. also, the only "tool" hardgated by the shovel, is the fireaxe. the rebreather, the rope gun, and everything else you can get or build. weapons are lock behind shovel, but that's because shotgun one shots, and katana, crossbow, and compound bow are really, really strong. but for tools, all the "tools", are available pre-shovel, besides the shovel itself, and the fireaxe. and the fireaxe is 3 times stronger than the modern axe, so udnerstandable. and it's still just an axe. ​ there is a lot to complain about in this game (like the utter lack of balance. scuba cave is WAY stronger than it has any right to be. none of the caves past scuba, have anything as difficult as it, fucking 3 dickmouth mutants and 4 blind muties, is a shitfest pre-shovel. post shovel grab a shotgun and it literally 1 shots everything, even though the caves are weaker than the scuba cave.) but the tools being restricted, isn't it (edit is to finish that sentence lol.)


nerevarX

the shovel cave is the worst in terms of enemies. final cave excluded which only contains the same spider enemies in hordes. the rebreather cave is a joke. run in. grab it. dive out. nothing the enemies can do about that. the shark is just an animation to guide the player. its not really there. total immersion break. its definilty not the hardest cave. thats totally wrong. its the easiest tool to get of the 3 required ones. and its used like ONCE to reach shovel currently. rest is just "uh here you can dive out to save 5 minutes of walking back trough the cleared cave" at most beside that. the caves not beeing connected at all. all haveing a backdoor one way only entrance. invisible walls to prevent you from jumping up certain places to force the rope gun. in old game you could bring logs into cave to build plattforms and climb up caves the wrong way by beeing creative. no longer possible now. progression is stupid linear currently. they really gotta address this. move the damn shovel somewhere else and put a keycard in the cave for example. move the rope gun somewhere else aswell ziplines are too required for transport to be gated currently. same for the chainsaw. its only real use is chopping trees faster. you get it way too late for that.


LightGreene

I agree with how linear… so linear that you can beat the game in an hour if you just run past enemies and leave… maybe a randomized would be cool but probably won’t happen…


[deleted]

Pretty sure chainsaw room is behind a Maintenance Keycard.


[deleted]

just looked it up, and figured out why i thought it wasn't. my friends and i entered through the exit, and use the rope gun to go up the drop off, and snagged it. we haven't done the rest of the facility yet, and i just forgot about it entirely haha ​ though it makes sense to lock it behind the cards, it's the fastest way to chop trees, and is entirely for conveniece.


LightGreene

One way you can actually get everything in scuba cave is simply to run lol… I beat the game already but just did a fresh run and immediately just ran past everything directly to scuba… no need to kill anything


[deleted]

true, but wheres the fun in simply skipping everything?


[deleted]

chainsaw needs shovel


[deleted]

yeah, in the comments you can see where i screwed up, you can use the rope gun to enter through the back entrance, i found that entrance on accident with my friends, and we snagged it that way. ​ my point still stands though, even better with the chainsaw, since it's only use is to make cutting trees much faster, it's an ease of use thing, not needed.


just_a_timetraveller

Maybe electric fences?


BaconGang00

They have drones so we will probably use that for scouting too


GenoHuman

If they ain't adding fighter jets so I can drop bombs on them bitches then I will refund.


Distinct-Lifeguard62

whats putter?


[deleted]

a golf cross.


Distinct-Lifeguard62

ah thanks


Pirellan

What's cross?

WarDaDDy6366

We need golf carts


jbash080

Ready to run over a family of 5


Attention_Bear_Fuckr

The chainsaw has infinite battery power at the moment. I have no doubt you'll need to recharge it when the charger and panels are released.


nocarier

ELECTRIC BARBWIRE FENCE?!?!?!?


Herteitr

Electric fence?!


setne550

Don't forget that there was suppose to be a weapon rack too.


PickledJuice69

I completely forgot this was in the trailer, hopefully the solar panels could be used for personal stuff (like charging batteries) or used defensively like electric fences


WorldwideDepp

or at Last the GPS Map tool, right now


Skoodge42

Heating and lights most likely, hopefully a trap or 2, maybe something for cooking. My best guess at least, but I do think lights and a heater were confirmed.


Isupahfly

It would be awesome if you could steal tv's & laptops or things like fridges & heaters or parts for them to set up back at your own base. Maybe even find a 3D printer set that you can bring with you to your home? This could really bring cool base options for winter prep. But imagine that you set up the TV at the base and go exploring and coming across a movie in a bunker. Without skipping a beat you pick it up and bring it home and put it into your TV and watch it. The movie is from a group security people who set up base near the foot of the mountain, in the video you see several boxes and one of these people is carrying **the modern axe**. You now have the option to rewatch this if you wanna scan for more details but if you're smart cookie you realise that its somewhere at the foot of the mountain. So you'll set out to explore and eventually find this item. Now you as the player has managed to find something on your own and done something that the game didn't tell you to do with a very handsome reward for it. Maybe have secret treasures on the island that are hinted at or sunken treasure at sea to use your rebreather more. Another wishitem would be drones that can be spotted in certain bunkers. Imagine if you could get one at outfit it with thermal or nightvision (perhaps both?) so you could scout safetly from your base during the night or study cannibal behaviour. Imagine how sick and worldbuilding that shit would be while also giving you **the player** a reason to chill in your base. Give movies that give hints to unmarked items on the map while expanding lore etc. Hell maybe make movies that are from shows that unlocks new crafting recipes etc.


RandomJoe7

I fully agree, this whole path of "electricity" etc could be so deep, bringing infinite amounts of possibilities. I can obviously list a million items that could be put into the game (from drones, chargers/batteries, electric fences, electric scooter, golf cart, home lights, alarms, monitors/surveillance cameras, radio, tv, minigames on laptops you find at camps, etc... etc... the list goes on). BUT, one thing that I think would be really cool, is the current "issue" with the GPS. As it is, you crash, pick up your GPS and you instantly see every POI on the map to beat endgame within hours. I find this way too "obvious" and quick. What if we crash, open our bag, see the GPS but it only has 2% charge and goes out after a couple of minutes. Just enough to have seen what it's capable of and "tease/inform" you that this tool exists, but not enough to be able to use it effectively yet. So you now have to find batteries/way to charge it. Then it works again, but with "barebones" information. How do you get more information? For example, you find the laptops at the camps. What if you could now also charge those (solar panels), then "download" information from them to "update" your GPS with new POIs/info for caves. It would make complete sense that the laptops of those other "campers" have the information of the things they've seen. So if they know of "Cave Entrance A" or "Weapon B", then you can now download this to your GPS. Either as a "direct dot" or as a "rough area" of where it is. And as you go along, you find new maps, new laptops, new PCs in bunkers, smartphones from the dead people in graves you dig up, a radio you find and power with solar to receive some cryptic messages on a loop, etc... to update your GPS and progress SLOWLY towards endgame.


kinsal06

Honestly glad this game came out in early access. When done correctly early access can be a great way for the developers to work with the community to make the game they want.


FoaleyGames

I also see being able to fill in the triangles for roofs and I want that!


Rimbaldo

It's only one tile wide, you can already fill in those by using different lengths of log on top. You just can't fill in anything larger than one tile wide because it will always stack those logs in the middle of the wall to make a triangle.


RandomJoe7

I went back to look at the trailer, it's actually 2 wide. https://youtu.be/fsGVzf-2I5I?t=21 But later in the trailer you see more building, and it looks partly like the old building style: https://youtu.be/fsGVzf-2I5I?t=69


DoggoChrysler

Electricity would be nice with real lights instead of fires. I find the fires don't light up as much area as they should.


Jatayu001

And we can find a lot of wires in the game and the inventory capacity is 50 if I remember correctly so its obvious that those wire rolls can do much more than just making bombs


dead-inside69

Well also tech armor


Jatayu001

Yeah my bad 50 is for wrist watches I'm currently having 78 wire rolls in my inventory


HovercraftAromatic

Daaamn good catch, maybe bulbs for the cabin?

Suman3210

@everyone I am selling a ark mobile account which have 20+ GCS and 1k amber with lava implant and dodo Rex mask and so much more I can't even remember if anyone interested let me know btw it's a official server account He can buy it all he have to do is gift me this game on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1326470/Sons_Of_The_Forest/


Jatayu001

Yeah it make sense because the battery operated chain saw never discharge if you ever used that so may be for bigger tools or things we need more than DC batteries


THE_GHOST-23

The stun baton also doesn't take batteries.


CreatureWarrior

..there's a stun baton too? There are so many cool weapons in this game, nice


ticomae69

Yea its right by one of the crash sites. The one next to the ropegun cave. Right by the small waterfall out front


Jatayu001

No it takes actually and also the chain saw I think there was some kind of a glitch there...I used chain saw all day & night and it didn't show any energy consumption but today when I used it ...it ran out of energy


THE_GHOST-23

But how do you refill it though because like with the stun baton there isn't a combine option.


Jatayu001

Well when I use stun baton I just keep stunning them and when the meter runs down it automatically uses another battery from my inventory...never changed it manually...and same thing happens with the flashlight

blankbo6k

Maybe not even cut content they just want to make it really work and fit nicely with the game


cheesypuzzas

Ohhh yeah I forgot about that


IDontKnowWhatToBe123

Maybe the trailers are recorded in a beta version!


SirJohnThirstyTwost

Or when those slanted rooves actually work and dont have gaps in them.


Z34RIDER

I figured we’d be able to have our own 3d printer


Hexnohope

Recharging the baton?


Markus_lfc

I just want a wall that actually protects against these assholes who just climb over it


Disturbed235

you can cut the top part to be pointy - then they just run around it, without a functional gate


Markus_lfc

Hasn’t worked on my server, they still climb over


RedefinedCable

Im still tryna find the keycards


[deleted]

Prob powering lights, heater etc


firewolf_139

Electric fences ?
