The nature guide is a chapter of the survival guide in which the player automatically notes what plants and animals they have found so far. It also gives an overview of what plants and animals can be found in The Forest.

The chapter is divided into two sections, the first containing two pages of plants and the second containing three pages of animals. Each kind of animals and plants has a box next to it, that is checked when the player encountered that animal or plant. An encounter is defined as picking or eating a plant or spotting an animal respectively.

Known Bugs[]

  • "Twinberry" also appears on the last page of the animal life section (confirmed in v0.60b).
  • Even though all animals are listed in alphabetical order, the carp and cod appear on page 3, between animals whose names start with "y".
  • Currently the oyster is not listed in the nature guide (confirmed in v0.60b).
  • In the nature guide there are inconsistencies in the names of animals and their images. Maybe fix it.

Trivia[]

  • Currently, the nature guide lists "Twinberry" and "Snowberry" in singular, whereas "Blueberries" and "Blackberries" appear in plural (confirmed in v0.60b).
  • The nature guide does not list animals passive to the player, as for instance spiders or starfish. This might be due to the developers not wanting to cause confusion where to find these creatures as the player would not have a well defined action when to mark them in their guide.
