The Forest is a harrowing experience and wrought with difficult obstacles for you to overcome. Survival is no easy feat and if you are in need of some help with your journey through it, then you may want to look into some console commands for the game.
These commands can allow you to do basic stuff like spawning specific items, all the way to entering God mode. You can find the perfect commands for you to give yourself a easier of a time and still experiencing the game how you want to.
How to enter commands
First, make sure that cheats are enabled in the game’s settings or else the commands won’t work.
Once they are, type out “developermodeon” on the main menu screen. There will not be a notification if this has worked to hit F1 to see if it did. F1 is what you will press to turn the console on and off, as you please.
