Feathers are material items that were added in v0.05 of The Forest.

Gameplay[]

Feathers are located in one of the front pockets of your backpack in your inventory. You can also carry an unlimited supply of feathers.

Feathers are dropped from birds as they fly and can also be obtained by killing a bird, which will yield 3 - 5 feathers, depending on the bird. They will float in the air and can quickly become out of reach if not collected.

Types of birds and how much they drop:
BlueBirdFarket 3-4
RedBirdFarket 3-4
BrownBirdFarket 3-4
CrowFarket 4-5
SeagullFarket 4-5
GooseFarket 4-5

Feathers can also be obtained by building a birdhouse. It will passively collect feathers even while you're away from it. It can hold a max of 30. It works in a similar way to Sap Collectors. Birds will also land on it, so it can add a nice feature to your base.

As of v0.16, dead birds had a chance of spawning feathers when hit, but this feature only works with Geese in v1.12.

Update History[]

Version Change
v0.64 Machete can now be upgraded with teeth, booze or feathers!
v0.63 New building: Bird house! Once built will attract birds, who will likely drop feathers.
v0.62 Fixed item inventory tooltip issues with broken toy, feathers, flintlock, Gun parts, blueberry and coneflower seeds, deer skin, and leaves.
v0.55 New arrow type: Bone arrows! Combine 1 stick + 5 Feathers + 5 bones to create 5 bone arrows.
v0.53 Tennis racket can now receive tooth, glass and feather upgrades!
v0.46 (Multiplayer) Cloth, tooth, feather and booze weapon upgrades are now visibly synced to other players!
v0.44 It is now possible to remove fixed upgrades from weapons (tooth/feather/glass): Place an upgraded weapon alone on the crafting mat and press the “Craft” button. Upgrades will visibly fall off the weapon and about 40% of the tooth/feather/booze will be returned to the inventory if there is room for it.
v0.36 Feathers are now detached from bird ragdolls thus remaining active even after small meat has been picked up.
v0.26 Crafting mat feather/tooth/tree sap piles are now a bit smaller and teeth are more centered to prevent it from being inaccessible under bottles.
v0.24 Reduced maximum amount of feathers you can get from hitting dead birds with rocks.
v0.23 New shader – toon outline for alpha textures – selecting feathers or other items with an alpha map will now have correct outline.
v0.19 Fixed missing Tooth & Feather upgrade recipes for stick & stick upgraded.
v0.16 Dead birds now have a chance of spawning feathers when hit.
v0.15 There is now a limit to the total amount of upgrades per item (currently set to 30 for all weapons. You can choose to have either 30 teeth or 10 teeth + 20 Feathers, or 10 teeth + 10 Feathers + 10 booze etc).
v0.08d Fixed feathers being hit away by weapon when killing birds making it hard to collect them.
v0.08 First pass at infinite weapon upgrading! use collected items to upgrade your weapons. Use teeth, feathers and glass shards to improve weapon speed and damage.
v0.08 Improved look of alpha selected items in inventory (feather, herbs).
v0.06 Crafting: Fixed issue where you could remove feathers before crafting arrows and still craft the arrows. Fixed issue where you could sometimes not craft items depending on order of items placed. Adding an item to a craft that isn’t needed will stop you from crafting until it’s removed again. Fixed bug where you could lose medicine by crafting the same item multiple times.
v0.05 Feathers added to the game.

New craftable item added: Arrows (Stick plus 5 feathers).

Made feathers brighter, made batteries brighter (easier to see in inventory).

Birds now spawn feathers when killed.
