Companion Management: Kelvin & Virginia

Kelvin and Virginia are vital assets for any Sons of the Forest world, providing automated labor and defensive fire support. However, on a dedicated server, their deaths are permanent by default. If a companion is accidentally killed by a player or a cannibal raid, they will not respawn naturally unless the world is reset or the save file is manually edited.

Resurrecting Fallen Allies

If Kelvin (Robby) or Virginia die, you must modify the world’s save state to bring them back.
  1. Stop Server: Shut down the server via the FREAKHOSTING panel.
  2. Download Save: Navigate to /userdata/Saves/DedicatedServer/Multiplayer/{Slot}/ and download the GameStateSaveData.json file.
  3. Edit Registry: Open the file in a text editor and search for:
    • "IsRobbyDead": true -> Change to false
    • "IsVirginiaDead": true -> Change to false
  4. Health Check: Ensure their health values in SaveData.json are reset to 100.0 or they may instantly die again upon loading.
  5. Re-upload: Replace the files on the server and restart.

​
Console Spawning (Alternative)

If you prefer not to edit files, you can attempt to force-spawn a new instance of the companion using the F1 Console.
  • Spawn Kelvin: addcharacter Robby
  • Spawn Virginia: addcharacter Virginia
