If you opened this article, it means only one thing - you are a fan of one of the newest indie games "The Forest". It is worth noting immediately that if you encounter any problems, then there is nothing to be surprised. This game, like many indie applications, was created not by professionals, but by amateurs, so the presence of bugs in it is the norm. It is because of this that it is important to know how to save in "The Forest", because if it freezes at the most inopportune moment, it will be a pity to lose all progress.
Place selection
The main condition for saving the game will be security. Agree, it makes no sense to record progress, if at this moment a crowd of natives around you? Therefore, we need to find a safe place before saving ourselves in "The Forest".
The map in the game is fairly standardized. Of course, there are some variations, but in most cases you will play in a familiar area. Remember, it is better to equip several camps and tents so that you can always wait the night if you have gone far from the main one, or in order to escape to a new place when the natives find you. Rumor has it that the local population can be completely exterminated, but this is not so. Often, right before the eyes of the amazed players, the natives appeared directly from the air. Thus, there is no one hundred percent safe place to save. If you meet maps on the Internet with marked good places, do not believe them. The local population is happy to explore all the nooks of the island, and sooner or later they will find you.
Save
How to save in "The Forest"? To do this, we need to build a house. Only the trouble is, it’s not possible to survive in any building. For example, if you create a treehouse, you can only hide there, watching the natives eat up your supplies below. So what do we need?
- Hut. A good thing if you need to quickly settle in, for example, far from the main camp, or if it starts to get dark.
- Hunting shelter. Inconvenient and cluttered building. You can get into it only by crouching, and if you try to get up, then fall into the texture.
Other buildings do not allow sleeping inside. And this means that you can’t survive, because this process occurs during sleep. True, from version 0.06, the game provides the ability to save without sleep.
Mistakes
In some cases, it doesn’t matter if you know how to persist in The Forest or not. Due to the specific device of the game's file system, bugs are possible, as a result of which you will not be able to save the process.
- First update the game. You could initially download the old version, in which saving was not even provided.
- Check where the "The Forest" saves are located. They should be located on the system drive in the directory C: \ Users \ UserName \ AppData \ LocalLow \ SKS \ TheForest. If suddenly there are Russian letters in it, then you need to change the "username". Most importantly, do not consider this a whim of developers. Many games "swear" at the Cyrillic alphabet. So it will come in handy for you anyway.
- It is also worth checking the installation path of "The Forest". Saving, of course, is important, but the path to the game itself should also not contain Cyrillic.
That's all. Now you know how to save in "The Forest". Remember that developers are constantly fixing bugs and shortcomings in the game, so just stay tuned and you should have no more problems.
