The Forest is a popular survival game that\u2019s been in Early Access for years now and finally got it\u2019s full release earlier this year. It\u2019s a first-person survival game in the vein of Rust or DayZ, where players must survive after waking from a crashed plane in an ominous and mysterious forest. The game features an extensive multiplayer mode, where you can survive with others, or choose to hunt down others if you so wish.<\/p>\n

The Forest mods can be a bit difficult since these games modding hasn\u2019t been around for as long as those of other titles. The open-world survival game officially launched a little over a year ago so people have yet to come up with a ton of modifications for it just yet. Despite its relatively young age, however, there are already a handful of mods out there that are definitely worth picking up if you want to spice up your game a little bit.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we rounded up some of The Forest Mods from BOC you can grab right now and place them all into a neat little list for you to enjoy. We also added download links for each of them to make things even easier for you. If you\u2019ve never played the game before it\u2019s probably a good idea to try out the vanilla version first before installing any mods. But if you\u2019re already a seasoned veteran, the mods below will give you something new to look forward to the next time you boot up the game.<\/p>\n

Best The Forest Mods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like my grandfather used to always say, there\u2019s nothing worse than getting lost in the deep dark woods, especially when it\u2019s teeming with cannibals. Arming yourself with this handy dandy map will have all of those suckers marked right there, so you\u2019ll never be caught flatfooted again.<\/p>\n

You will also be able to see the location of all players on your server. You can hover over their icon to view their name, should you be so inclined.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to know the identity of your allies in the quest for survival, even if it\u2019s something as unfortunate as FartsOfFury.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re noticing some visual inconsistencies here, please note that the included picture isn\u2019t from the mod, but rather from the interactive map painstakingly created by a community member.<\/p>\n

This is also very helpful, but not mod-related, so we shan\u2019t extrapolate further. Let\u2019s just tip our hats to the cartographers who make our lives easier.<\/p>\n

In-Game Crosshairs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like me, you may have a little trouble with aiming your gun or bow. I always rely on crosshairs for shooting quickly so this Mod is fantastic for anyone who needs a little help when aiming!<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, this Mod enables crosshairs, so you have a better aim when you need to take down Mutants or cannibals. We all know cannibals and Mutants hate fire, so this will help when you next need to get your first throw correct!<\/p>\n

SERVERMOD<\/strong><\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t a lot of mods that affect the server in The Forest and Mods for Sims 3. However, this one does. ServerMod adds a few new settings, such as regrowing 2-5% of trees every night. Post in chat when a player is dying, as well as posting when a player connects and disconnects. These are more just quality of life changes.<\/p>\n

TREE RESPAWN<\/strong><\/p>\n

By default, around 10% of trees regrow every night in The Forest. Sometimes, this might not be enough, depending on how many you\u2019re cutting down each night. When you install the Tree Re-spawn mod, you can instantly re-spawn 10% of all missing trees by holding SHIFT & pressing R.<\/p>\n

EASY BUILDING<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Easy Building mod for The Forest is a balancing mod. It aims to reduce the building cost of every structure and building in the game by half. This is definitely a welcomed mod if you\u2019re struggling to build a base with defenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
