How to use The Forest cheats on PS4 and PC

These are more game mode modifiers than full on cheats, but can make life easier (as well as harder). To activate these on PC, just type in the command on the main menu and you're done, no need to hit enter or anything. You can do the same on PS4 as well if you plug in a USB keyboard but it seems more like a legacy PC thing than actual feature - so don't be surprised if they're patched out at any time without warning.

When you input the codes, you won’t get any notifications or confirmations, they’ll just work. You also might not be able to change some of these after you’ve typed in the code without starting a new game.

Here are the codes you can enter:

  • ironforest - Buildings are indestructible, type code again to disable.
  • meatmode - Disables all cheats.
  • rawmeatmode - Permadeath. If you die, wave goodbye to your save file.
  • regrowmode - 10% of fallen trees regrow while you sleep (provided the stump is still there).
  • veganmode - Enemies only appear in caves.
  • vegetarianmode - Enemies only appear at night.
  • woodpaste - Undoes all holes made by the hole cutter and crane.

How to use The Forest console commands on PC

The following commands only work on PC and can change a lot more of the game. To start with, type in developermodeon at the main menu screen. There won’t be any notification or anything but you can press F1 to see if it’s working as it should bring up a box in the left corner where you can type in the codes.

I would err on the side of caution from this point on. Some of these console commands could heavily affect your save file. So if you don’t want anything too bonkers to happen or run your run, steer clear. If you feel comfortable heading onward, here’s how to activate console commands.

  • Press Z to toggle the console, F1 to turn it on or off.
  • Press X or ~ to display the console log and status, F2 or ~ to turn it on or off.
  • Precc C to display stats, F3 to turn it on or off.
  • Use the up and down arrow keys after pressing Z to cycle through previous commands.
  • Use the left and right arrow keys to make changes to commands.


After you’ve typed a command from the list below, press enter to activate it.
