The Log Cabin is the largest non custom shelter. It allows the player to save and sleep. It was added in update v0.01 of The Forest.

 Gameplay

Sleeping in the Log Cabin will restore fatigue and allow you to save the game inside. After finishing the building, the player can see a home icon from anywhere on the island.

Since there are two open windows on walls, lighting a fire inside will most likely attract unwanted attention from cannibals and mutants.

• To have a place to sleep (pressing and holding 'Z' button if available)
• To regain energy and restore fatigue by sleep
• To save your progress (pressing and holding 'C' button)
• You can build a fire inside during the rain, and it won't be extinguished
• All shelters come with a house overlay icon which marks its location, it can be seen anywhere in the game world. This is advantageous to the player when adventuring, so they can always find their way home. The player can press R on this icon to change its color, or change it to ‘grey’ to switch the icon off.

Building

1	=	82+
Log Cabin		Log

The final amount of logs needed for construction is determined whether the cabin needs additional foundations and how high are you placing it. 82 is the very minimum.

The maximum amount of logs needed for a Log Cabin is 136.

Known Bugs

• Sometimes, the construction might go wrong and one log will be missing, making the construction impossible to finish and leaving the Log Cabin unfinished. Reloading the game does not fix it.
• The player can jump into a cabin from any direction by walking at the walls and repeatedly pressing jump, the player will jump over the wall and since the player has no collision with the Log Cabin's roof, can use this as a functional entrance/exit.
