In this video of The Forest, I provide you with my top 10 tips on choosing a place to build in The Forest. There are many things to consider, but these are the top things in my opinion.
The List:
1. Sticks
2. Patrol routes
3. Natural defences
4. Trees and logs
5. Is it visually appealing?
6. Water source
7. Do not build on stick trees
8. Sea Level
9. Rabbits
10. Other Important Items
The Forest Map: theforestmap.com/
Patrol Map: theforest.gamepedia.com/File:...
Stick Map: theforest.gamepedia.com/File:... make videos, guides, tutorials, and let's plays primarily for The Forest. My focus is giving the information you need as quick as possible so you can get back to playing. Make sure you like and subscribe, cheers.

Water collectors are no longer invulnerable against mutants, though they are invulnerable against cannibals. Stick trees can sometimes be cleared when you build over though, though you have to build low on them for them to be cleared, the collision on them stops about half way up, meaning the wont clear and they’ll poke through your floor boards if your floors are too high on them, best to avoid them.

For easy gaming, build near the yacht. Lots of trees, lots of sticks, lots of anything and you can sleep in the yacht. For beginners it is the best place to be. That is what I did in my first playthrough. If you want to have a save spot, build near the ocean. You can always jump in the water if it is getting to crowded. But watch out for sharks.

DoXy DoXy I built on the beach near the yacht and I'm getting attacked with like 15-20 cannibals per day., and was getting like 5-8 per day on day 4. Also if you look at the patrol route map there is the green line that goes right over the beach, depending on where you build on said beach really matters. In my game they are coming from two main directions, from the path to the beach from the tree with the gun part and from the direction of the patrol route that heads towards the main village.

When first learning the game, places that were not busy and preferably had no spawns. Last game we built all over the map. We started in a place we hadn't built before and did a tree house near a pond. Then we took over various villages and turned them into resort campsites. We named each one based on what type of camper it was set up for (business retreat, family, romance, scout training). We were going to do every village and interesting view site, but our server updated and deleted the game. High traffic villages kept us in bone armor. We all learned that soloing those places was a skill we had neglected. I don't know if you've tested multiplayer cannibal attacks. In our game the cannibals didn't attack me and went after the players that hit them. I would get jump scares but it was very rare to be hit. I did my best not to fight them for as long as possible. Eventually I'd have to start killing them as it was the only way to keep the other players alive.

5:10 I build my first base here without looking any tutorials and soon I realized that it's middle of a cannibal highway. Though later, I can't think of a better place to build because of the great amount of action, bones, sticks, birds, logs, effigies and rope. There is also a great cave ( entrance seen in the video) which supplied beer and watches.

I just started playing The Forest about 3 days ago, and my spot actually lists everything to me on the list. I'm on the beach next to the yacht. Someone else said it in the comments but I indeed slept in the yacht until my defenses were up. And if enemies appear I just jump into the water. It also only has 3 entrances and I noticed that the cannibals never enter through the left side of the beach. And the other 2 I simply blocked off and it has worked out great so far for me. Only a skinny cannibal will rarely get through but once I jump into the water they lose sight of me and walk straight out of my base, and thus straight into my traps, killing them :p

I build on the island at 3:04, just because I don't want my base getting messed up. It's great because I use a zipline to get logs to it from the cliffs across the water, and there's 2 deer and a lot of lizards in the little bay area from your latest season where you made the elevator and giant roof-ramp, and four turtles every morning. It does get boring though not actually fighting much.

Build off or near cannibal rotes but not on them, away from the things they set down as they'll just respawn when you log back in. Build near the sea within the green area for sticks and with trees nearby. Then finally a place that calls out to you. Perhaps southeast? I don't have a PC, I just enjoy watching people play. But when I had a PC before it broke I played the alpha, tiny island but the cannibals still scary af.

I really like that you take into account that some people want their land and base to look good. That's the first thing I tried and I can't seem to find a good looking enough area to build so it kind of helps to know that pros like yourself still see that people are gonna want to build on land that looks visually pleasing. Makes me feel less like a picky asshole and more of a visionary lol

We've just started the game with my friend and I gotta say we hit jackpot with our base, judging by this video(if it's still relatable). At 2:04 below the sinkhole on the right, there's a pond and a small waterfall, we've secured that place. Easy to cut the passages with walls, we have water, a lot of trees and stick bushes, deers, rabbits, it's not a in a patrol route, but close to them, so we can engage if we wanted to, there are villages and caves nearby. Plus the scenerey is amazing aswell. :)

my favorite place to build is usually the western beach, just a bit south of the shipping containers. I reason it's near the cloth cave and the arrow camp (looking it up, it's Submerged Cave and the Film Crew Camp), a steady supply of turtles for water collectors if they're needed, and the beach provides a good amount of space to build. It just takes a bit of a walk to get into the forest for trees and sticks.

I set up my home on the small little strip of land you can swim out to in the southwest corner, the one not too far off the shore. I set up a very makeshift dock to transport logs across (still beginner, didn't realize the boat thing) and basically things are going pretty well!! it's just annoying getting the logs over there. I'm not directly on a patrol path but rather I'm close to one so if I wanna go hunt some cannibals down, I sure as heck can. I'm pretty proud of it.

Best location I have found so far is taking over Cave 3(Modern Axe Cave) and the outside area. It covers every single criteria listed here and it is easily defensible with liberal use of deadfall traps and building a cover for the area outside of Cave 3. Once set up it is easy mode and you can even farm mutants for creepy armor by luring them down into a kill zone from the main cannibal village.

There's a large tree to the south between the yacht and cargo container is where I built my first base. Some annoyances with patrols so you'll probably need to get a wall up, but with the ocean and cliffs, you'll probably only need to build 3 sides. Lots of marigold in the area. As I've explored, I've built numerous bases through the map. I'm nearly 200 days and I haven't even progressed at all of trying to see my son. Just finding areas to wall off just to build more bases. Use terrain to your advantage, try building walls where your base is uphilil, makes it harder for cannibals to jump over them (Although that's pretty rare). Seal off all avenues they can enter, you'd be surprised how much land you can have for yourself to build just by sealing off a few accessible areas, although get the chainsaw before you do this as it can get pricy with logs. Finally, once you get some experience, start building more custom housing, its pretty fun!

Whenever I play this game, I always build in this one spot of beach that cannibals are unable to reach naturally (except if you're playing on the hardest mode that has the flying mutant). Only way cannibals can reach it is if they fall down when they lunge at you while chasing you there. The spot I'm talking about is on the lower end of the map, right below the spot where the gun part is buried next to a boulder, trees and a cliff.

a bit late but there is an area in the fertile lands in the southeast corner of the map that personally meets all these criteria. its right next to a green stick area which also has a bunch of trees, sits on a patrol route, has a cliff you could build up against, is pretty in my opinion because there's the river and you can see the mountains, has two nearby ponds, is just above sea level, and its right next to the main cannibal camp too so cloth, arrows, paint, meds, bones, and so on are easily farmable. Also because it's the fertile lands, rabbits and one of every plant type spawns there.

There is a cliff with a decent sized area at the bottom of it near the largest cannibal village, you don't have to build anything to get up or down and there are loads of trees and sticks at the top, there is also a destroyed boat that will spawn rope on every world load, it's in my opinion one of the best locations in the game (although a decent amount of enemies spawn at the top, i didn't get anything other than Base cannibals until about day 15) The area also spawns lots of deer and the building space at the bottom spawns lots of turtles

I built my main base around the plane and my spawn point was pretty great, next to geese lake so within my walls I have the camp with all the arrows and every time I go into the save everything respawns. I haven't had much problem with cannibals yet and I haven't seen a single mutant weirdly enough. TONS of sticks and it's pretty heavily forested surrounding - well not anymore, I have contributed to deforestation. I built a perimeter all the way down to the lake and a decent way around the plane too so I have a ton of space. A lot of blueberries within my walls too

Safe beach on the far east coast or geese lake for beginners. Ample resources, relative safety and ease of access to most caves. For more advanced players, the sheer cliffs of the snow biome or isolation island for a fortress build. Arctic lake is also always good for more experienced people.

The place infront of the cliff on the opposite side of the katanga cave is the best area. No cannibals spawn there, its near a village so lots of effigies pop up for easy cloth, and the katanga cave is stocked full of soda, bomb parts, food and bataries. Plus it's near a lil pond for water, near the ocean for turtle shells, and by the waterfall is a dense forest packed full of sticks and trees. Just need to build a Dock to get across.

@cestarianinhabitant5898 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah sticks, that stick map is nice. Just yesterday I was looking for a place to build and I looked at some maps which pointed at good places to build, the most appealing location to me was on a cliff close to the sink hole (marked on this map as orange) and there were no stick trees in the area... And to make matters worse on myfirst night there I saw a mutant patrol with 2 virginias and an armsy like right next to it (but below the cliff) so running over to the green areas to gather sticks is not going to be very fun... or safe... I do know of one really good spot to build however that has both natural defenses and easy access to resources. On the top right edge of the green zone on that stick map (where there's a little V shape where it meets the ocean) there's a an area where you can build in various fun ways, and it's also a pretty beautiful place. There is I think one mutant spawn somewhere in that general area though. But if you're feeling ambitious it can be turned into quite a pretty fortress.

That was until I built a zipline to cross the southern river. I often import sticks from there, 78 at a time.

I'm so glad they changed it all now and you don't need no where near as many sticks

I built my base on the cliff east of the bay the yacht is in. It's a horrible base spot, as patrols are very frequent there and it's quite far from water. The good news is that its reasonably close to cave 2 (very useful for dynamite, sodas, meds and circuit boards), the main village (for gasoline, flares, arrows, dynamite and sodas), and the yacht (for snacks, ropes and air canisters)

I built my massive base right next to the main cannibal village on the cliff near the edge of the village. Resources are plentiful there and since we are directly on a few patrol routes, creepy armor is plentiful (provided you have the weaponry, i would reccomend molotovs as they are the best weapon against mutants) and there is water nearby. I would highly advise you to base there.

Now everything makes sence. I made a base next to the big lake in the woods and I turned it to normal. But I didn‘t realize untill now that there is a patroll point for the monster and the other guys. And I was wondering how they always spawned and were destroying my house with the high ground.

For my first playthrough, my plane crashed right outside the main cannibal village. I set up camp there, then wondered why I always seemed to get swarmed. Seeing the patrol routes, I now understand why.

In my first play through I'm currently on, my plane crashed literally 20 feet from the main village. Ended up currently building on the peninsula with the big tree you showed a few times. However gathering logs can be a chore- and dodging the constant mutants now that I'm near day 30 is a massive turn off. Cowboys and virginias almost daily.

I am going to try to build on the land bridge next playthrough. I actually like fighting and trapping enemies. By the way I have been using the Wiki lately for different things. It is very comprehensive, and well done.

Its actually a lot of fun there, there is A LOT of fighting. Can get a bit relentless at times though. Cheers, the wiki is going well aye

My current base is near the main village and my plane crash. It's down below the cliffs near the water and it requires some finesse to climb the rocks but I've got 2 zip lines to get logs down and I've built a house boat there and walled it off. I have only been attacked once and it was just one cannibal. It's also a 5 minute boat ride from the yacht

i built my base near that one plane spawn where you spawn right next to the sea and near the yacht i think that was one patrol route you showed and yes it’s hard on day 13 i came across a grey armsy with a grey virginia and a chungy guy (i forgot the name) all three in a group but i chose it cause i like that spot and i’m pretty experienced i’m rn trying to get the 100 day achievement and i’m on day 49 rn so i’m making progress

I'm actually installed in the middle of the geese lake, and after 60 days, I still had no problem at all with the mobs. And it's on hard mode. There's no direct connection to my house, so, cannibals can't reach it. And mutants usually drown before they reach the foundations of my house. Of course, it means either swimming or ziplines to reach and leave my house. The only real issue is that I spent so much time building my house that now, leaving it to find some ropes is super hard. The house is a safe zone (until the worm spawns), but the moment I go a bit further, there are patrols everywhere, since it's late game. And mutants appear regularly, too.

I saw a video where a guy build a house on geese lake. The entrance was nice and simple. I plan to do that when i play when i get home. Fish is also good. But i do wanna be close to the enemies base for the eefigies.

Goose lake. on the water. EZ mode and can have ziplines in and out of the base, and access to soooo many areas nearby. patrols can be lured into the water using the rocks to instantly kill them
