Forest Ranger Simulator

Forest Ranger Simulator is about caring for a forest and its surrounding valley. You build and repair structures, gather materials, craft useful items, feed animals, sort rubbish and respond to hazards such as fires and poachers’ traps. You can play through quests in Story mode or choose Sandbox mode and work freely.

Care for the forest

Explore the forest on foot or by car, by day and night. Find and sort more than 150 types of rubbish, remove traps, help prevent fires and feed hungry birds and ducks. You can build bee yards, birdhouses and feeders, and repair hives. Carrying capacity matters: collecting too much rubbish can make it difficult to bring back, so you may need to plan your trips or use a vehicle.

Gather and create

Collect mushrooms, brushwood, timber, honey and other materials for building and crafting. You can turn found objects into useful items at the workbench, which has tools such as a saw, pliers, a hammer and a paintbrush. Build and repair seating, benches, feeders and bridges, among other structures.

Quests and sandbox

Story mode gives you tasks to complete and introduces the next stages of the game, alongside information about forest ranger work and nature. Some tasks can be done at your own pace; others involve running or using a car. In Sandbox mode, you can choose what to do, including making creations from rubbish.

Learn and manage

A notebook provides information about forest ranger work, forests, mushrooms, plants, herbs and other aspects of nature. You can observe animals and discover items while exploring. An online store lets you sell valuable finds and buy tools, furniture and a car; you can also keep finds to decorate your home. Progress unlocks items and badges.
