How to Activate the Cheat Console

Activating the cheat console in Sons of the Forest is simple. You do not need to modify game files or install third-party software for the core commands. The developers have included a direct activation method. Follow these steps to enable cheats in your game.

Start the game and load into a save file, either single-player or multiplayer.
Once in the game world, type the word cheatstick on your keyboard. Do not type it into a chat box or menu; simply type it while playing.
After typing “cheatstick,” press the F1 key. This action will bring up the developer console, overlaying a list of commands on your screen. Note: a US keyboard layout is required for the console key to work.
A text cursor will appear in the top-left corner. Here, you can type any command and press Enter to execute it.

Remember to back up your save files before experimenting extensively with commands. Some effects can significantly alter your game world.

Best Practices and Common Mistakes

Cheats can enhance your fun but can also disrupt the intended experience. Use them wisely to get the most out of your game.

A common mistake is forgetting to back up saves. While most commands are safe, experimenting with world-altering codes can lead to unintended consequences. Furthermore, spawning too many NPCs or items at once may cause performance issues or game instability. Another frequent error is incorrect command syntax. Always ensure you are using the exact spelling and format, like adding on/off where required.

For a balanced approach, consider using cheats to reduce grind, not challenge. For instance, use additem a key tool you lost, rather than godmode for the entire playthrough. This maintains the game’s tension while removing frustration. In multiplayer, administrators should use commands judiciously to ensure all players have a fair and enjoyable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn a specific enemy or animal?

You can spawn almost any creature using the addcharacter command followed by its internal name. For example, use addcharacter armsy for the Armsy mutant, addcharacter deer for a deer, or addcharacter shark for a shark. You can add a number at the end to spawn multiple.

Do these cheats disable achievements?

No. Using the built-in console commands via the “cheatstick” method does not disable achievements. You can earn achievements normally while using console cheats in your own world. Only extensive third-party trainer mods with more radical game alterations might affect them.

Can I use these commands in multiplayer?

Yes, the console commands can be used in multiplayer sessions. The host or server administrator typically has the ability to activate the console and use commands that affect the entire world. Note that in co-op, the console stays locked for clients until the host enters setgamesetupsetting GameSetting.Multiplayer.Cheats true.

What is the command to change the weather?

Use the forcerain command to change weather conditions. Typing forcerain heavy will start a rainstorm, while forcerain sunny it will clear the skies.

My Kelvin or Virginia died. Can I get them back?

Absolutely. Use the command addcharacter robby 1 to spawn a new Kelvin, or addcharacter virginia 1 for a new Virginia. Be aware that newly spawned companions may start with neutral or zero affinity and will need to be befriended again.
