Sons of the Forest Patch 08: what's inside

More features and functions

Thanks to the new patch 08 for Sons of the Forest, Virginia and Kelvin can now swim when they enter water that is deep enough - crossing smaller rivers so that Kelvin can bring you logs from the neighboring island, for example, still does not work, though.

Not only can up to 4 players ride in the golf carts at the same time, but also lights are now part of the equipment, so that you can see in the dark where you are going with the golf cart and do not constantly drive in front of trees or get stuck somewhere else.

Also new are electric fences wrapped in wire that can keep your opponents from charging right into your base, as the electric shocks provide sublime respect for you, but make sure you do not run into the fences yourself. For the electric fence, build a very simple fence out of sticks and then wrap the wire around it in the direction of the arrow. From now on you can also place the wires flexibly, this is indicated by a white circle.

To match the electric fences, there is also a brand new trap called the Hokey-Pokey trap for defense, and it takes no joke at all. The spike ball is similar to a morning star, and the trap behaves just as stunningly: if an enemy (or yourself, beware!) runs past the trap, it triggers and slowly swings the spike ball towards the enemy, potentially severing limbs or killing with one punch. The spike ball swings out slowly, hitting any creatures that come near it - sounds like fun? It's fun to watch, too.

GPS trackers could previously only be found in certain locations, but since patch 08 you have the option to print the parts for them in the 3D printer and then make them yourself in the inventory. Of course, this is especially handy because you can not only track Virginia with the GPS trackers, but you can also mark interesting places this way.
