Sons of the Forest’s default NPC companion, Kelvin, is nothing in need of a survival sport revelation. As a devoted helper, Kelvin could be commanded to finish menial duties like gathering sticks, chopping down timber, or snatching fish out of the river along with his naked fingers. As soon as he places his thoughts to one thing, he won’t cease till requested in any other case. One Kelvin is an unstoppable pressure. So think about, then, what one may accomplish with a small military of Kelvins?
You possibly can thank modder CallMeSlinky (opens in new tab) for making it attainable with a mod that permits the debug console in Sons of the Forest (you will additionally want this Unity framework mod (opens in new tab) first). Reddit consumer jrm850 (opens in new tab) then rapidly found that, with some fast javascript modifying, you may spawn in as many Kelvins as you need. As soon as the debug console is in place, you need to use the “addcharacter Robby 1” command to conjure a Kelvin (we’re pondering Robby is an outdated identify for Kelvin utilized by the devs). Although, jrm850 notes to not get carried away within the cloning course of.
“I can put as many as I would like in principle, however for those who put too many it might probably begin to trigger FPS points.

The additional Kelvins will hearken to your in-game notepad instructions and even appear to work harmoniously collectively on constructing tasks. Options producer Chris Livingston spawned in a squad of Kelvins and enlisted them to construct a log cabin. They work fairly properly as a unit, virtually as if a number of NPC helpers was a deliberate characteristic sooner or later. Chris says his solely hiccup to this point got here when considered one of his Kelvins toppled a tree (by chance, he hopes) onto one other Kelvin, however no person was completely injured.
Kelvin and all of his clones stay staunch pacifists, so do not count on further assist combating cannibals, however the identical duplication course of is feasible for Virginia, too: the command is “addcharacter virginia 1”. Virginia will battle with you and may even use weapons, so spawning in a bunch will in all probability make you unstoppable.
