The Crane is a utility structure building that was added in update v0.63 to The Forest.

Gameplay

When placing it you have to first choose its bottom position then its height up to 4 stories high, it then cuts floors and removes structures in its way when placed. Takes small storage structures and can be used to transport logs and other items higher up.

• You cannot take log sleds onto the crane. To move supplies up and down, you will need to build storage structures on it such as the log holder, stick holder and rock holder. There are many more structures that can be built on it.
• There is a rope on one corner that allows you to pull the crane up and down without being on the crane platform itself.
• The crane is highly destructive, be careful where you place it as it will destroy anything in its way when placed.
• The crane only has about 5 stories of crane operation, it can be built higher with the Ultimate Cheat Menu mod, but the crane won't go all the way down.
• Be careful building other structures off the crane. It can become jammed.
• You can no longer build off the crane. This change was most likely made during full release v1.0.
