Sons of the Forest: Set day length and spawn point?

How many spawn points are there in Sons of the Forest? Can you set where you want to spawn on the island and what about a day length setting? After familiarizing yourself with the basic features of the new survival game from Endnight Games, one or the other player may notice that you often start at a different spawn point when restarting. In this context, we asked ourselves how many starting points are there in the game and can you influence the spawn?

Change and set spawn point?

There are currently three spawn points in Sons of the Forest and these include a spawn at the very top of the beach, west of the island in the forest and in the middle of the island on the snow covered mountain.

  • beach spawn
  • forest spawn
  • mountain spawn

In the current version, the starting point is chosen randomly by the game and there is currently no way to influence this. If you are not satisfied with your spawn, you can either build your base somewhere else during the game or start a new game.

Set day length

When you have spawned and done some work, the day is usually over and there are some dangers lurking for the player at night. If you want to get more done in a day, you can change and extend the length of the day in Sons of the Forest. To do this, you have to select the “Individual” level of difficulty when you start the game and then, under the “Environment” section, you can set the start time of year, the length of the season, and the length of the day, among other things.

The setting can also be changed later in the “GameSetupSaveData.json” file. The file for the savegame can be found under the path “C:/Users/%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Endnight/SonsOfTheForest/Saves/Singleplayer-Multiplayer/%ID%”.
