Developer Oversight: The Console

Difficulty

Beginner

Time

5 Minutes
Unlike the traditional console systems in most survival games, Sons of the Forest uses a hidden “Cheatstick” menu to access administrative powers. This menu allows hosts to spawn items, fly (debugcamera), and instantly build massive structures for community events.

​
Activation Process

To open the console, you must first bypass the game’s developer lock:
  1. Enter the “Cheat”: While in-game (not in a menu), type the word cheatstick using your keyboard. You do not need to open a text box; simply type it blindly while in the world.
  2. Access Menu: Press the F1 key.
  3. Verification: A text prompt should appear in the top-left corner of the screen. If it does not appear, ensure you typed the word correctly without any pauses.
