The Metal Tin Tray is a multiplayer exclusive item, and was added in update v0.30 of The Forest

Gameplay[]

When combining the metal tin tray with up to 6 inventory items, players in Multiplayer mode can share items or materials. This is especially useful for items that cannot be dropped on the ground once looted, such as snacks, crafting materials, and meds.

Known Bugs[]

  • It is possible to duplicate some stackable inventory items with metal tin tray. This is achievable by placing metal tin tray and, for example, more than 31 leaves on the crafting mat and pressing G. This will add 30 leaves to inventory. This bug is working with Leaves, Old Gun Ammo, Teeth, Sap, Coins, Feathers, Cloth, and Batteries. Arrows can be duplicated by using the same method with 6 or more arrows; only normal arrows will be acquired.
  • It is also possible to duplicate any item that can be put in the tray, simply by saving, putting the desired item in the tray, giving it to a friend (or trusted person), leaving without saving, rejoining, and you will have the item (in the amount you started with) and your friend will also have the item.
  • The Metal Tin Tray may be lost on death and become unrecoverable.
