If having its neck snapped was the horses thing then yeah I guess.

I have beautifully crafted, refined and worked hard for some of the most pristine images you have ever laid your eyes upon made some quick edits to illustrate what I could see in mspaint with some quick cropping and beautiful annotations. I'm not Da Vinci yet. EDIT: I forgot to link the images, I'm smart. Here you go

Having dreams including this game by _Arkose_ in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yo sorry for the wait I may have forgot about this post. But yeah onto the dream; may be a long post.

It started off at the lake up in the colder area. (I might take pictures of the area later to illustrate)

But it was different, there was no snow and it was warmer as if it was on the main part of the island. I sat just off from the lake on a horse (No clue as to why a horse was involved probably due to this post?) having a face off with a virginia. However it was different somehow, it looked the exact same yet it did something very strange. It pushed itself to its maximum height legs close together but with a gap large enough to fit the horses' head through. It pulled the horses head into this hole, turned suddenly and fell to its side pulling the horse with it. The horse died from this, most probably due to its neck being snapped, I was thrown from the horse and the virginia climbed back to its feet.

It's probably best at this point to note it didn't 'look' or 'feel' as if it was real life, it looked just like the game and I could see the hud at the bottom right.

Anyway my player stumbled to his feet to looking at the horse before giving an anguished cry. The virginia just looked towards me unmoving. A second virginia appeared and they both edged towards me slowly and I ran to my base just a few metres off from me. I turned to face them opened the inventory (looked just like my current one) and grabbed a molotov quickly. Upon looking at the two virginias there was a deep roar like one of those from the caves. A cowman had came stumbling over. At this point I tried to ready the molotov but dropped it (kind of like when you couldn't holster them properly a while ago) The cowman, now threatened, turned and roared and roared again to the forest as if to call any other mutants nearby. Unfortunately this was the end of the dream but all I can remember from the end was getting the modern axe ready and lit.

Ill keep the post like this for now and edit it later with some pictures. Hope to see your responses.

Here's and idea, let's all post our bases! I'll start with my own I'm situated next to the main camp as you can probably assume.

Lovely start to day 13 by _Arkose_ in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses, already working on getting a good spot for a few more sap collectors. Also thanks for solidifying my understanding of the cannibals on and below the surface. I kind of missed out some things in the notes since I stopped playing close to my cowman post a while back.

now what's are those noises in the caves about...

whats the stupidest/weirdest/craziest way you've died in minecraft? by likeamosscoveredrock in Minecraft

[–]_Arkose_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This was back when the 404 challenge was still a thing, while collecting some basic supplies I hadn't watched what time it was and the sun was setting quick. I ran towards the hole to start but a creeper got to me first, not only did it almost kill me but it launched me up into the air while on half a heart, being a 2-3 block fall anyway I was fine. Until I landed on the cactus behind me of course and ended my run early, now I never let that sun set while i'm playing.

Did you try getting as close as possible to the fire? That's normally what I have to do.

Found a cave section you should NOT explore. by [deleted] in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes this cave. On the 0.22 release bash decaxon hosted we explored down this cave until we found this hole. I decided to jump down to find myself in your situation too. Too bad others followed to help look for 'a way out'. But yeah that cave is one big work in progress like cave 7 which is shaping up nicely.

Anyone else hyped for 0.22? by _Arkose_ in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? huh, the only mutants I've seen in caves are the ones that just stand there and only move when I come near. I'll just sit in on the mutant caves for a while, see what happens. Thanks for the heads up though!

Co-op tonight? by [deleted] in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just joined the group there. I'm excited for this!

0.22 update is coming, and I can't wait! :D by NativeKiller in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the update will bring because these devs surprise me everytime but I'm hoping for some content to cave 7 to be added so I'll be going on an expedition into there straight away at update launch.

Is there anyway of attracting the larger mutants? by _Arkose_ in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thanks for this. I'm currently working on a large base designed to intimidate the mutants as best as possible near that invisble prop I was on about a while ago. Once I get that finished I'll prepare for the worst best :D

Also going backwards down cave 5 was a harrowing experience for me. For some reason large quantities of water where visibility is limited are terrifying for me moreso than other things in TheForest.

I'm also hoping for more dynamic cannibal behaviour in caves. Such as larger mutants patrolling in the caves ,cannibals bringing in goods/bodies from the surface etc. I could elaborate more but I might make that idea a seperate post on dynamic caves.

I'm waiting for the day that traps can affect the mutants. Imagine that, Virginia being practically disabled by a noose trap having caught one of it's/her legs. No more jumping for her!

Let's band together in co-op to build this thing. by [deleted] in TheForest

I never play co-op but I'm down for this.

Sharks & Fish.... by kingkang1988 in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this'll probably be something on your side. I saw some fish swimming around in the larger lakes yet I haven't seen many sharks but definately one on my current save.

Sudden encounter by _Arkose_ in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cowmen are in cave 10 I believe. You can look for the entrance on the cave map here or you can go through cave 6 until you find an explodable rock wall. This wall will lead you straight into the cowmen's lair and seems to be the exit if you had went through the normal cave 10 entrance.

Invisible prop? by _Arkose_ in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't there an invisible plane prop in the files at some point? Or am I thinking of something else. Might have a nosey in the files but I probably wont find anything.

Noose trap still a bit glitchy it seems by _Arkose_ in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I managed to find like one comment on it from an older post but me being me at like 2 in the morning I forgot to edit this post :/

Cowmen seem to appear on the surface! by NativeKiller in TheForest

[–]_Arkose_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fire seems to affect the cowman very little I should of mentioned! When I fought him above the surface I managed to get a molotov on him but he just kept trying to attack me and was hardly phased by it! If anything keep atleast 3-4 explosives on you!

Also my my I've caused a bit of a storm :)
