Fuel is a material item that is used to power the chainsaw, it was added alongside it in update v0.60 to The Forest.

Gameplay[]

Aside from powering the Chainsaw, Fuel currently has no other uses.

Notes[]

  • the chainsaw running at full throttle (attack button held down) will consume one Fuel Can every 80 seconds.
  • the chainsaw does not consume fuel whilst idling.
  • fuel cans on the surface do not respawn, while most of the fuel cans in caves respawn both on single-player and multi-player.
