Here comes a brand new update on the game Sons of the Forest, which we have all been eagerly waiting for. After a small delay of one day, it's finally here, and we can look forward to a big update. In this article, you will learn all about the exciting new features, including the new hard survival mode, rocky building parts, and some custom effigies. So, let's dive straight into the details!
New Hard Survival Mode
The highlight of this update is undoubtedly the new hard survival mode. As this is a first version, we can expect further adjustments to be made in the future. The mode changes the gameplay by reducing food spawns from crates and also reducing animal and fish spawns. In addition, there are harsher penalties for eating raw or spoiled meat, and health and stamina regeneration is slowed down.
Rocky building components for more variety in building
With the update, new stones to collect have been added, which give your building options in the game a whole new dimension. These include, among others, the stone fireplace, stone walls, beams, and columns. This provides more variety in building and allows you to make your base even more individual.
Custom effigies: Spread fear and terror
Also new to the game are custom effigies. The more body parts you add to your effigy, the more fear you spread among the cannibals. This way, you can better protect your base from unwanted intruders.
Further improvements and bug fixes
In addition to the main new features mentioned above, there are also some improvements and bug fixes in the update to Sons of the Forest. These include, for example, a display for bonuses when cooking meals and a change in the fish traps to in-game time instead of real-time. Furthermore, adjustments have been made, such as less recovery when sleeping outdoors compared to sleeping indoors and a change in the recovery rate based on the current comfort value, which is influenced by food and clothing. Finally, some bugs have also been fixed, such as the GPS locators on sticks and the display of the correct amount of sticks in the book.
Conclusion: A successful update for Sons of the Forest fans

Especially the new heavy survival mode offers an exciting challenge for those who want to experience the game even more intensively.
