Thanks for the shout!! My channel felt it in a big way this morning! 🎉🎉 This patch IS good, especially the optimizations, but personally, its not what I am hoping for.
1:05 They need to make this part of the options, have twp sliders that will control how many enemies will be in a raid and one that controls frequency.
@hypn0298
11 ай бұрын
I agree fully, it would be great if we had a raid frequency option for the people who like fighting and defending their base more. As well as an option to allow up to 10-15 maybe even 20 or more enemies in one large group after a certain interval. To be honest it may start to get boring if you make a good defence after some time and then you barely get attacked because you killed the last raid so easily. Then the next raid will come and probably get smoked etc. So we need an option to have larger/smaller numbers of enemies attacking, especially in multiplayer.

i will find the "followers can now swim" useful as one day i turned around and kelvin was standing in water deeper then him, they had no animation or anything for being in that water but now we gotta worry about mutants swimming

I had kelvin and virginia walking around underwater because my base was built on ice and floating on the water. They don't drown or anything, they just walk around as if there's no water.
Quite dissapointed that they aren’t utilising all of the mutants more. For instance why are armsy only able to spawn after you’ve done everything in the game? Or why is the sluggy still only a background asset.

@bliczb8772

I think the reason why Armsy spawn after you end the game and choose to stay on the island is means to not turn the game into "Forests best hits" or something like that. This way, Armsy won't interfere with normal gameplay, giving new mutants the spotlight instead, but also giving something to older players, should you choose to stay.

Makes sense for armsy to be an end game mutant since it's much bigger than other mutants with a lot more health and can mow down ur early game hut really fast
@hypn0298

It’s meant to a bonus enemy from the original you unlock after the endgame not a normal enemy. It would just feel like the forest 1.5 if it was around early on since it’s mostly a copy-paste from the forest.
I want the old defensive wall idea so we can draw it out and fully instead of placing one by one

I'm still waiting for a big storyline update. Single/Multiplayer additions for bases and whatnot are all fine and dandy, but there are still a lot of gaps in the storyline that need filled. Like more about Jianyu Zhang. Where was Virginia during the last Cube activation to only get a minor mutation, as compared to others? What did the Cube do to Timmy if it didn't cure him, as evident by the new boss fight at the helicopter pad at the end?

This is a gamemakers game, if they never give us the ending we want they can pump out consistently mindless updates for several years before they just decide to try again with a new one.
The Hokey Pokey is also the name of a dance in the US that's taught to kids.
Love the almost random trap names, from happy birthday to Hokey Poky

Hello Farket!!! Thank you for making these update videos.
enjoy the holiday man! good on you for still uploading on holiday! 💪
Thanks for the update Farket as always. Enjoy your travels!
Farket, congrats on the vacation, Norway sounds fantastic. Have fun and be safe!
Hello from Norway! Awesome u wanted to visit and still publish this interesting videos! ;)
Great to hear you are on a holiday mate, enjoy some well earned rest and relaxation
What if you put the electric fence on top off a stone or log wall, since enemies want to climb that wall the'll climb right into the fence
It makes my day when I see you’ve uploaded!
Thanks for all the good videos, and enjoy your vacation in the land of the midnight sun.
Love these tests and experiments, shows us what's possible.
Glad to se armsies back. Returning mutants have great potential lore wise and gameplay wise
OMG I've been waiting for your upload thanks!!!!
Great update and great Video!
yess norway. Watching from there every time you post :)
Love your chanel bro keep up the great work, the content is amazing ❤
Can confirm that shaking animal heads scares the cannibals
I thought they named the Hokey Pokey after a kids song "the hokey pokey", in the Dutch version at the chores of song u have a part where you swing back and forth. hehe
I tried setting up a line of Hokey Pokey traps along my wall, worked great. Fucked up a wave of demons and puffies, I really think it has potential
Now I'm waiting for the 3d printed speakers that you place and wire to the radio and a solar panel. Would be kinda hilarious if you could hear it from a good distance.

Happy to see optimizations. My computer couldn't run the game after the first few patches. Hopefully I can again
This makes me so happy!
Love that theyre working on optimisation, never had a game which couldnt run 60 fps smoothly on my pc, exept for thr forest, which ran on 40-43 fps no matter which graphics settings i was on
Welcome to Norway Farket😊 I hope my country treats you well while you're here!
Hope you're enjoying the holiday farket you definitely deserve it bud. Glad that this update addresses these issues coz some of these were making the game a pain in the A....lol. But I believe that they're going to make quality of life improvements later on
Finally, I'm waiting your content
Super happy to hear that you're visiting Norway, my home country!!
I like the manual building but I don't like that it meant less blueprint options. I really wish we could place a blueprint of our defensive walls and build free standing stairs like the first game.
I recognized the Armsy silhouette in the thumbnail right away. Great addition
It's Farket here....been listening to the intro long ago and used to it, cant believe there come a time we never get to hear it again.
SO GLAD they've touched on this first one. My group and i played the Forest for many years, and well bailed on SotF after about the 3rd or 4th update due to this reason. The game just simply was not fun. We'll be keeping an eye on the progress of this one though, hoping to get back I to it before the year's end and actually Enjoy it Again!
Enjoy the holiday, mate. Well deserved.
hope you doin well miss the vids man hopefully some greatness is to come
You know, as much as I'm happy about Armsy returning, I gotta say... It has some weird lore implications. I mean, so far, on both islands, two different mutants showed up - Armsy, Virginia and Cowmen were on one island, and were result of Sahara experimenting with the artifact. But on this island, we have different mutants, such as John 2, Fingers and Twins, as well as Puffies. This clearly resulted from the mutation caused by the resonance. Ok, so far, makes sense, different artifacts cause different mutations. So... Why is Armsy on both islands? I mean, I understand out of the universe reasoning - him spawning after endgame is to reward returning players (at least that's what I think... If the reasoning is different entirely, I'd love to know). But lorewise, it makes no sense.

probably is exactly because it doesnt make sense lorewise that it only spawns on the endgame

yeah but the color of his things(idk waht they are check the other well liked comments) is different in this game so it could be a different subspecies of armsys. There's birds that look similar but aren't the same species on different islands, my man christopher columbus told us that

because endnight had no concept for SOTF in the first place. it was never nearly finished, that excuse to go into early access was nothing but a straight lie. they have no concept and lack of creativity, that is why they listen to the dumbest requests in the community discussions. fuck the utterly retarded monowheel.
so cool that you came to norway
Add another stick on top of the electric fence ;)
First holiday in 10 years, enjoy it mate
Came home from my morning shift, ready to watch some Farket Update News. Time to get my Daily dose of Chill 😎
I hope you have a great time in my home country!
Hope you enjoy your stay in Norway!
On the swimming companions. It does indeed work, sort of. My kelvin started swimming, glitched through a wall, and then continued to swim on the ground up a hill. He also did it stationary and it looked like he was doing a little dance.
Enjoy your vacation farket, I hope it and the new update put you in a better mood 😂
Cant wait for the full release
Hello Farket. Welcome to Norway!
Pro tip with the Hokey Pokey trap. Put it along the side of you defensive wall. This way enemy’s will get hit while trying to destroy your wall. This trap seems to be meant for defending your defensive walls. I feel like all the other smaller traps we got so far are meant to be placed infront of fences. The smaller traps seem to work the best when they are mixed with spikes
virginia swam right away for me ! was running to a bunker and crossed a deep river and had to swim , she was following me and i stood there on the other side . sure enough she swam following my path lol , was cool to see !
enemies will knock kalvin into the water sometimes so the swim features great. during one of the first few patches kalvin got knocked into a lake, and it took him soo long to run across the bottom of the lake, that winter hit and the friggin lake froze with him down in there lol. i had to wait til spring to get him back lmfao.
Enjoy your holiday! You deserve it :-)
VR , that is all im waiting for. This game isn't the same on a flat screen.
i was messing around with that trap and they work the best when placed horizontally next to the defensive wall. that way it never misses and hit the target multiple times
Can confirm that at least Virginia will swim. It just so happened a day or so before the patch she had gotten stuck in the water near a dock in my current build. I believe this happens when you have a planter on the edge of your structure. I never saw it happen but she would end up under the doc and just walk around like she was not in water. With the patch she still ended up in the water but she swims now (squid like) and will occasionally attempt to get out of the water.
Great video

Hi Farket! Love your work and videos and I love seeing that notification saying you posted. Just a quick question, do you know if this game will come to console? I understand they are still working on the PC version but do you know if they have future plans to expand to console?
I’m glad they fixed the rate of raids and I’m glad they also added armsies and the spike trap
Hi farket! my son and I love all your videos, and on the forest and sons of the forest, we cannont wait for the outer middle show and farket to play together really looking forward to that episode! I kinda miss the forest... a new season on the forest would be amazing! maybe I'm weird lol anyways... fans from Australia here thanks for ALL your content xxxxxx
By the way, the barbs on two of the armsy's arms are actually in the original forest, they are just the same color as the rest of him so its hard to miss. But they are there! They look much better and more pronounced because of the new shading they did on the new armsy.

Don't know if you know about this. But if you have last arrow shoot it into the floor. Pick it up. Go to the shelf put 1 arrow down. but you still have 1 arrow in the bow. So shoot again, pick it up. put 1 down. Infinite ammo glitch. I think you must have only 1 arrow left. Probably works with crossbow too.
So glad the armsy is in the game it’s probably the most iconic thing of the first game and I think we all remember our first armsy in counter

Hey farket, I've been your s2 series, and I've been enjoying the series so far, and I actually didn't know they updated sons so I'll be glad to play with these new features. Though I'm not looking forward to the armseys, I always had the worst luck with them. I'm surprised you don't have a problem with those buggers lol. I'm curious: What are some features or items that you would want to see them add to the game personally for me, more animals would be nice, like maybe horses, so you have better transportation. Keep up the good work and enjoy Norway and if you see any vikings run! Lol

Welcome to Norway mate! Let me know when you're coming to my place, I'll put on a pot of coffe for you!
for Virginia you can show her swimming by showing the cross near water and she will sometimes back up into it enough to swim
you can push the log sled by running into it and it will pick up logs and rocks on the ground
About 10:42 I played in a server that my Kelvin ended up underwater and couldn't get him out. He's alive but he's deep underwater. This probably happened when I was building a little island fortress in the middle of the lake during winter. When the water got unfrozen, I guess he just sank there. I could not test this again as the server went offline after this patch. I was joining random public dedicated servers.
You can put the electric fences in defencive walls so they electrecute them in the wall, and i think at the end in the cube You can see symbols
Hi i love you and your content ❤️
I think the swimming thing is probably for others who had the same issue I did, Kelvin was out on the pond when winter ended, so the ice melted and he fell in, dying with no way for me to save him...
Ah perfect time upload I ran out of content time to watch the legend himself farket. Don't mind if I leave the likes and all
Not sure if you are still in Norway, but i hope you enjoy your vacation
Excited to fire it up and hopefully avoid anymore crashes. Couldn’t play more then 5 minutes without crashing. I tried everything to correct it including investing in an m.2 drive (besides the crashing it ran really smooth once on the m.2 drive). I suspect it was/is a memory leak issue. Hopefully it’s been corrected with this patch.
Skål/Cheers from Norway mate :D

Why does people always say skål when refering to norway. I know that in english it's meant to be translated to cheers but we only really use skål when we're at the dinner table and want to clink your glasses together to i guess cheer the dinner. We don't use it in the same way that English people use cheers. I'm not meaning to be pessimistic but i just find it a bit odd. But none the less. Skål! 🥂
Raids getting easier the more enemies you kill is so rare thing in games! And yet, at the same time it is incredebly realistic in context of The Forest or any other game that has similar plot. You're stranded on the island, but so are enemies. You're surviving, fighting for your life, and so are they. And so, when they see that you alone kill half of them without breaking a sweat - they'll obviously will go full "nope" mode. That shows they aren't just mindless robots, but people, thinking, emotionful people that can feel fear.
The fence can be built higher so I'm assuming the electrical fence can be built higher as well.
Much love from norway❤ where in Norway are you?
Thank you. P.
Norway!! Been there 3 times. Super-beautiful country. How long do you plan to stay and what you plan to visit?
Have a great holiday!
I have a build on a little island and I have a bridge over the water (build it on ice with logs). When winter passed and the ice melted I saw virginia swimming to shore so that must be what they meant by the AI swimming. Probably it's not meant for them to follow you by swimming after you unfortunately
It would be nice if you could store the glider in your backpack or maybe add a one that you can craft to store it, the one in the forest was so much fun you litterally could double jump of a tree with it into the space, with this new one you can’t the only problem was that you couldn’t store it so hopefully they will add this
