Survival in a dark forest is sometimes exhausting: you want to grab an ax and go cut down cannibals left and right. Sons Of The Forest will quickly punish the player for such behavior, but cheats come to the rescue.
Update
The guide was updated after the release of Sons Of The Forest from early access and the appearance of version 1.0.
All cheats in Sons Of The Forest
The Forest, the first survival game from the Endnight Games studio, had a long list of cheats and console commands – especially for players who were tired of honestly fighting off cannibals. Unfortunately, that's not quite the case with Sons Of The Forest.
Console and cheat codes: how to enable
At first, after the release of Sons Of The Forest in Early Access, you had to activate the console using a special modification. Then there was another way to open the console and use cheats; it also works in the release version of Sons Of The Forest.
How to unlock cheats in Sons Of The Forest
Launch Sons Of The Forest, start a new game or start a save. Type the word “cheatstick” on your keyboard without quotes. Press the F1 key. If the console does not appear on the screen, then change the keyboard layout and type the word “cheatstick” again.
How to open the console and use cheats?
If you did everything correctly, then after completing the steps from the previous paragraph and pressing the F1 key, the developer console will open with a list of valid cheat codes. Enter the required code, press Enter and you're done.
The most useful cheat codes and console commands
The developer console provides access to several hundred cheats and commands. To make it easier to navigate this gigantic list, we have compiled a list of the most useful cheats.

Where can I download the cheat menu for Sons Of The Forest and how to use it?
Using cheats is not very convenient to do some things – for example, control the time of day or change the speed of a character's movement. To do this, we recommend using one of the cheat menu options created by modders.
Sons Of The Forest came out of early access quite recently and such menus have not yet been adapted to the release version of the game. Some functions may not work, others may behave incorrectly.
Judging by our experiments, SOTF Menu is now working more or less normally. It cannot be used to make a character immortal (cheats will help here), but most of the other functions work.
To install SOTF Menu you need to do the following:
Download the cheat menu here. Unzip it into any folder. Run the SOTF Copy Folder.exe file to copy the necessary files. Run the Edit Menu Config.exe file, and in the editor that opens, enter the path to the Sons Of The Forest executable file. If you have a licensed version, the path will be entered automatically. Run the Launch SOTF Mod Menu.exe file. There is no need to enable the game via Steam.
After starting the game and loading the save, press the P key. If you did everything correctly, a menu will open that allows you to teleport around the map, add items to your inventory and change various settings.
Where can I download the trainer for Sons Of The Forest and how to use it?
If you don’t want to bother with unlocking cheats, you can use trainers. For example, the WeMod application has support for Sons Of The Forest, which combines trainers for a fairly long list of games. You can download the trainer here.
Using WeMod, you can make a character immortal, give him endless stamina, reset the fatigue counter, add endless ammo and some resources – the list of possibilities is quite long.
How to enter cheats into WeMod?
First, open the application itself, then launch Sons Of The Forest from it – the necessary button will be in the upper right corner of the screen. When the game starts and loads, activate cheats either from the application itself or using hotkeys.
Immortality: 1 on Numpad. Infinite Stamina: 2 on Numpad. Infinite Strength: 6 on Numpad. Infinite Lung Capacity: 7 on Numpad. Invisibility: 0 on Numpad. Chop down a tree in one hit: F5. Increase walking speed : F9.Increase running speed: F10.
Unfortunately, most of the features are only offered in the full, paid version of the application. However, the free version is enough to make a character immortal or, for example, increase his movement speed.
