The Freestanding Zipline is a utility structure that was added in update v0.63 of The Forest.
Gameplay
It has 2 gates, place either one high up and the other below and at distance, it will create a procedural rope in between that players can travel down. A player holding logs can press C
to send one at a time down the zipline, but sending logs too quickly will cause them to drop to the floor.
- Ziplines are the fastest way to travel in the game.
- Pressing
E
orSpace
will let go of the zipline. - Letting go of the zipline and falling into water is safe, falling onto land is not so safe.
- Regardless of which was placed first, the gate at the highest altitude will be the start of the zipline. You cannot ride it backwards.
- Cannibals and Mutants will attack zip lines if the player is close enough to them.
- Ziplines have a max length of 30 ropes. Mods can make the ziplines an unlimited length.
- Can be used to get to the bottom of the sinkhole by running it directly across the middle of it. Let go after approximately 6 seconds to land in the water at the center of the sinkhole.
- Even holding a cannibal corpse you're able to slide down the zipline without dropping it. This doesn't work for held animal heads.
