Sons of the Foresttakes survival to a whole new level. There are hundreds of different items scattered across the island which you need to find tocraft even more items; such as weapons, ammunition, tools, clothes, food, and other survival gear. There are also cannibals and mutants on the island that will be trying their best to stop you from scavenging.
Thankfully, there is an easier way to boost your survival chances. It has to do with enabling the developer console to enter any one of numerous commands and codes. you’re able to use item IDs to spawn any item as many times as you want inSons of the Foresttobuild your defenses before the night, regenerate your health, or arm yourself to the teeth.
How to Enable Cheats in Sons of the Forest
The only way to cheat inSons of the Forestis by using console commands. For that, you need to first enable the developer console menu. While in the game, type “cheatstick” on your keyboard without quotation marks and press “F1” to bring up the console screen.
You will now see hundreds of console commands on your screen as shown in the image above. Ignore them for now, because you do not need to learn them by heart.
The console menu auto-fills as you type, allowing you to discover what kind of cheat can be activated. For example, you do not need to know the exact console command to become invulnerable. Just type “god” to see it get auto-filled to “godmode”.
Enter the complete console command or cheat you want to activate and then close the menu by pressing “F1” again. That is all there is to it.
Using console commands does not disable achievements inSons of the Forest.
How to Spawn/Add All Items in Sons of the Forest
There are several ways to add or spawn items inSons of the Forest. It all comes down to what item you want, its quantity, and for what purpose. The latter is important because not everything can fit in your inventory. It is far more convenient to fill your backpack when running low or dump a ton of materials in front of you when building or crafting.
addallitems
additem item-name
additem item-id
Adds the item to your backpack based on its ID.
spawnitem item-id x
Spawns the item “x” times in front of you. For example, 50 logs.
There is also another way to add items using their IDs inSons of the Forest, but it requires you to manually edit your save files. This can be a bit time-consuming compared to simply entering the aforementioned console commands.
There are two things to be mindful of here. Firstly, make sure to create a back-up save file in case you end up corrupting your original data. Secondly, do not add more items than the game can support. You only need oneChainsaw to cut down treesand dismember cannibals. Trying to force-spawn two of them in your inventory will end up crashing the game.
The “PlayerInventorySaveData” file is also helpful to discover the item ID of any item in your inventory. This is for any items that get added in future updates.
All Item IDs in Sons of the Forest
Below is a comprehensive list of all items and IDs, split between their respective types and categories. Confirm the ID of the item you want to spawn in the game, and then use the aforementioned “additem” console command after enabling cheats.
Do note that some items have been removed fromSons of the Forestsince themajor 1.0 update. So, if you are returning from the early access period and cannot find a specific item, it is either because the item was removed or shifted to a different category.
Weapons
The good news is that there are plenty of weapons to find inSons of the Forest. The bad news is that they are eitherlocated in far-off bunkersor need to be crafted.

Weapon Ammunition
There is no point in having weapons if they are empty. Make sure to always haveenough ammunition to beat every Mutantyou come across inSons of the Forest. There should be no shame here in using a console command to spawn ammo. These mutants deserve every bullet possible.

Tools
Tools are easily the most important items to have here. Consider them as your trusted companions, since the more (and better) tools you have, the easier it becomes to survive. You can gauge this from theGPS Locator you get at the start ofSons of the Forest. You would be lost without it.

Printed Objects
Some items can only be crafted byusing a 3D Printer inSons of the Forest. It looks like a normal laptop in the game but can be used to 3D-print several useful items as long as you have enough Printer Resin. This is another important resource that requires a lot of grinding, or just spawn it by entering its item ID. Check the resources section below.

There are numerous pieces of clothing on the island that not only beat running around naked but also provide resistance against the elements. For example,the Sons of the ForestWinter Jacket has excellent stats for surviving the winter.

Resources and Other Items
Building bases and sheltersis a major part of theSons of the Forestexperience. This requires a lot of resources depending on what type of base you want. This is also one of the main reasons players will want to spawn materials like logs and stones to reduce the time it normally takes to build a shelter.
