What SOTFEdit is
SOTFEdit is a Windows savegame editor for Sons of the Forest. It can adjust player stats, game setup, playtime, weather, and other game-state data, as well as add or remove inventory items, change quantities, and edit storage. Its NPC and follower tools can change Kelvin’s and Virginia’s stats, outfits, equipment, and locations, and can revive them. The map can show points of interest and savegame information, teleport the player and followers to locations with known coordinates, and spawn NPCs. Changed files can be backed up automatically. The maker describes the project as a non-commercial fan effort that is unaffiliated with the game’s developers. It requires Windows 8 or later and the .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime; the releases page lists v0.13.0 as the latest release. Some storage items are unsupported, and map teleportation is limited to locations with known coordinates. The maker warns that spawning many NPCs may severely affect performance, crash the game, or corrupt savegames. The application is self-developed and unsigned, with its code hosted on GitHub.
