Marigold is a harvestable plant, herb, material item that was added in update v0.01 of The Forest.

Gameplay[]

Marigold can be easily recognized by its bright and round orange flowers. Marigold can be found all around the peninsula, with the exception of snow areas. (Side tip: a very big spawn of marigold is at the tree of life/ sacred tree near the yacht.) It can be used to craft herbal medicine and herbal medicine+. Marigold can be eaten alone to replenish a small amount of hunger.

The player can only carry 10 marigold in his inventory at a time.

Trivia[]

  • Marigold appears to be based off the real life flower, from the Tagetes species.
  • It use to be used in crafting orange paint, however orange paint, as well as blue paint was removed in v1.0.

Known Bugs[]

  • In multiplayer, there is a chance that the same herb plant will appear differently for different players. For example, what appears as chicory or coneflower for one player may appear to be marigold for another.

It is now possible to cook a stew with the cooking pot !
