Sons Of The Forest Item ID list: How to spawn items
If you simply want to spawn every item in the game, you can do so with the addallitems command. However, if you want to spawn a specific item into your inventory, you'll need to specify the item that you want. This is written as:
additem [item name]
Note that you'll need to remove the square brackets, and type the item name as one word, without any spaces.
You can also add items to your game through item IDs. Each Sons Of The Forest item has a unique ID code. With this, you can add the item to your inventory by adjusting the game's source code and inputting the exact amount of the item you want. To do so:
- Enter your
SonsOfTheForest\Saves\folder. - Open the folder with 17 digits.
- Open either the Single Player or Multiplayer folder, whichever you are playing.
- Click on the folder containing your most recent save file. (We suggest making a copy of your save before tampering with cheats).
- Look for the PlayerInventorySaveData file and open it in Notepad.
- Input the following sequence:
{\"ItemId\":XXX,\"TotalCount\":X,\"UniqueItems\":[]}, - Make sure you replace the 'XXX' with the item ID of the item you wish to spawn into your inventory. Likewise, replace the 'X' with the quantity of the item you want.
Below we've included an item ID list of all Sons Of The Forest items. With these, you should be able to spawn weapons and armor like the Pistol and Golden Armor without needing to traipse through cannibal-infested caves. You'll also be able to spawn tools like the Rope Gun or Shovel with ultimate ease.
