Item IDs And How To Use Them In Sons Of The Forest

Aug 16, 2023

A treasure trove of tools at your fingertips here's how to spawn every item in Sons Of The Forest.

It's a tough time in Sons Of The Forest for any outdoorsman. The island is large, full of horrible mutants that want to tear you limb from limb, and it doesn't take much for things to spectacularly go wrong pretty quickly. Especially when the local cannibals start taking an interest in their new neighbor.

Whilst purists will say debug codes take the fun out of things, sometimes it's much easier to just spawn in the items you need to get things rolling a bit quicker. Unfortunately, you can't just drop into a new game and start manifesting the best gear right at your feet as it requires a few extra steps and the precise code to get exactly what you want. To make the whole process a little easier, here's a handy guide to item IDs in Sons Of The Forest.

The debug command list is an absolute lifesaver when you have access to it. It allows you to spawn in a range of items from the game as well as toggle on a few fun options like god mod. It does require a few extra steps to unlock but there are a couple of different methods depending on how much digging around in game files you want to do.

For example, there's WeMod, or the Thunderstore Mod Manager to make the process a bit more streamlined. Once it's up and running you just need to launch the game, press F1 to toggle the Debug menu then pop in any item ID code and whatever object the code corresponds to will appear in front of you. It's that simple.

Messing around with the game files can lead to a corrupted save. So keep that in mind if you're trying this as it's recommended you back these files up.

First up we have the most important spawnable items, weapons. There's quite a unique and eclectic collection of objects to use to defend yourself on the island ranging from the very lethal to more violent free options.

Whilst most of them are easy to find in the game as you play through, a few of them are hard to find and pretty missable if you don't know they exist or where they're found. So if you're short on weaponry, or are gearing up for a cave raid, then here are the ID's for every weapon in Sons Of The Forest.

There are a lot of horrible mutants prowling around the island, so what better way to give yourself a fighting chance than by piling on some extra layers. These beasts bite hard, so give them something to chew on.

No survivor is complete without a bag full of tools and gizmos to keep you alive when exploring the great outdoors. There's an interesting group of items to use that range from the high-tech and fancy to the low-tech, bashing two bits of wood together end.

Some of them you'll be a bit more reliant on than others, like a sleeping bag and flashlight. Whilst objects like the Night Vision Goggles and GPS Tracker may be more situational, they do make the whole outdoor experience a little more tolerable and easier. So if you're short on tools, use these item ID's for every tool in Sons Of The Forest.

When it comes to strutting your stuff on the moss-covered hand-built catwalk, Sons Of The Forest closet is a little sparse. But it does feature some interesting choices that you can either kit out yourself or your followers with.

There's some basic stuff like a tracksuit and T-shirt, but there's also fun and fancy things like silk pajamas and a tuxedo. Plus, there's proper survival gear should you head into the colder mountains or sun-baked beaches. To fill out your wardrobe, here's the item ID for all the clothes in Sons Of The Forest.

Next up we have logs and printable items. Logs are arguably more useful as a lot of the building instructions can require a lot of logs or planks. Especially if you're building a multi-layered or many-walled settlement.

The printables are also pretty useful, but they do require knowing where the 3D Printes are and they're found in only a handful of the Bunkers that are scattered around the island. So schlepping back and forth from your base to these machines can be a bit of a pain. To streamline your crafting needs, here is the item ID's you'll need for spawning in these super useful items.

It wouldn't be an open-world survival game unless there were hunger and thirst meters to manage. Thankfully it's not too difficult to keep your character and their crew fed and watered, but a few codes for easy spawns can always help.

There's everything from alcohol and oysters for those high rollers, or cereal and canned food for those keeping things a little rustic. To drop an MRE to feed your friends then just use any of these item ID codes for consumables.

Whilst you could snack on everything you find left behind on the island, sometimes it's nicer to have something homegrown. Thankfully there is an option for farming in Sons Of The Forest and you can get quite a good bunch of crops going with your green fingers.

Even though it's mostly berries, they're a reliable food source and the animation for scarfing them down is pretty quick. Ideal for combat encounters. To get your farm going quickly, here are the item ID's for farmable plants and their fruits.
