Sons of the Forest is a survival horror game developed by Endnight Games where you crash-land on a remote island while searching for a missing billionaire. The island is filled with mutants, cannibals, and environmental hazards as you gather resources, build shelters, craft weapons, and try to uncover the story behind what happened. As the sequel to The Forest, it features improved building, AI companions like Kelvin, seasonal weather changes, and a narrative-driven experience alongside open-ended survival gameplay.
A dedicated server lets your group explore the island together without requiring the host to be online. This is particularly useful for Sons of the Forest because survival progress, base building, and story progression carry over between sessions. A dedicated server also provides better performance than player-hosted co-op, especially with larger groups, and gives you control over difficulty, save management, and admin permissions.
Game Host Bros runs Sons of the Forest servers on AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and EPYC processors with NVMe storage across 8 global locations. Our panel includes difficulty presets for normal, hard, hardsurvival, peaceful, and custom modes. The custom gamemode lets you individually tune settings like enemy spawn rates, enemy health and damage, animal spawn rates, season length, day length, tree regrowth, and survival penalties through the dedicatedserver.cfg file. Admins are added via ownerswhitelist.txt and can use commands like godmode, item spawning, and speedyrun through the developer console. You can upload existing saves from singleplayer or co-op by converting them to multiplayer format and uploading via SFTP, and we offer free save transfers.
Sons of the Forest is available on Steam. The game supports dedicated server admin commands through the cheatstick developer console, with features including item spawning, stat buffing, and player management. Save slots are managed through our panel, and creating a new world is as simple as changing the save slot number. There is no official mod support at this time, but full file access is available through the file manager and SFTP.
