The Forest: All Cheats & Console Commands

The Forest is absolutely packed to the brim with cheat codes and console commands that can mess with practically everything in the game’s code. You can activate anything from a god mode to an iron man-type mode that deletes your save data when you die.

The Forest Cheats List for PC & PS4

There are some codes that you can use in The Forest that will require the game to be put into developer mode before they can work. This is the case for most of the codes. However, there are some that can be used without the game being in developer mode. For these codes, simply type the code at the game’s title screen:

Ironforest: Buildings are indestructible.
Meatmode: Disables all cheats.
Rawmeatmode: Permanent death. Your save file will be erased upon dying.
Regrowmode: 10% of fallen trees will regrow while you sleep (as long as the stump is still there).
Veganmode: Enemies will only appear in caves.
Vegetarianmode: Enemies will only appear at nighttime.
Woodpaste: Resets holes created by hole cutter and crane.

These cheats can also be used on PS4 if you plug in a USB keyboard into your console and enter them at the main menu.

How to Enable Developer Mode to Enter Console Commands on PC

The majority of the codes in The Forest will require the game to be put into developer mode. In order to do this, simply type developermodeon at the title screen, and then press F1. You should see a small text box in the top-left corner. You can then start the game. The following commands can be entered by pressing F1, typing the code into the text box, and then pressing enter.
