I honestly think that strength is something they either intend on giving more weight to (carry capacity, increased damage, whatever), or something they intended to implement further but decided not to and just left it in for now. Just having it boost your max health doesn't make much sense.
@@eliasergaibi5317 Or add like a fitbit item? So u can check vitals(ur stats) when u press the utility key? I saw something that looked like a pedometer in the early screenshots of the game, I wonder if that's what that does
I think they could add a 2% on damage output every level. By level 50, which let's be honest, not many will achieve, you will not only double your health, but your damage as well. It's really flexible, they can do so much with it, like not being able to carry 2 logs, only after level 10, maybe carry even 3 after lvl 25 etc.
they should add back all the animal furs that you had to aquire to be able to craft pouches so you can carry more stuff it made the ga me more challenging and grindable
@@Zdendakrup not really necessary since you already have a huge backpack(since they mostly going for some realism) but it would be different if you could find some like attachments do the backpack which spawns randomly at some locations
They could add in the ability to tether logs into a pile with ropes, and drag them back, but your movement speed is dropped since the logs are heavy, by 10% per log. This means you can 'drag' 6 logs at 40% move speed, but at lv50 strength you can drag them at 100% move speed. It's like a log sled but instead of pushing you pull, but how well you do it depends on strength. They could also make use of strength when lifting logs by reducing your movespeed when carrying them, and have strength nullify that debuff back to 100% move speed. You could only lift up to 2 at a time, but maybe make it so your movement speed is reduced by 20% for each log you lift.
This is a perfect example of why early access is (potentially) so useful for dev teams. Hopefully they get plenty of feedback that strength in its current state is essentially useless and make some changes in the in future to influence more than just max health without making it OP. I say "potentially" because it's really up to the dev team at this point to take that feedback and do something with it.
early access is cool and all, but it's a double edged weapon, too... on one hand, it's pretty cool to watch a game being done, on the other, you'd have played the game through and through multiple times, and there's not much new to find when it hits the 1.0 full release version (it gets really boring)
@@ArinJager1 True, but the best part of this tactic is the target community. For one, early access are mostly for players that are hardcore fans towards this genre and is willing to sit and play this game hours and hours despite the repetitive of the game core, just to find out all the minute detail of the games has to offer, with devs implementing more options to the game, players will get to know the lore of the game and how the mechanics works. On the other hand, full release version is for the players that liked the game but do not have the time to go through every single update nor had the strength to do so, even then that does not stop them from liking game. And because of that the full released version is much more accessible for these kind of players. I kinda like this tactic of releasing a game. Hope more game does this as well.
It should increase your melee damage, reduce the stamina consumption of that, increase your health, your carrying capacity and make you more resistant to being knocked down.
Could also affect power attack animation speed. To be honest, it doesn't seem unreasonable if the below system is implemented: Per Level: +0.5% Thrown object distance & speed (Max 25%) +0.2% Melee dmg / Strength Level (Max +10%) +0.3% Power Atk Dmg (Max +15%, total +25% more dmg including melee dmg bonus) -0.3% Power Attack Animation (Max -15% animation time) +0.2% Running/Swim Speed (max +10%) +0.4% Stamina (Max +20% stamina) +0.2% jump height At level 25: Carry 3 logs, 4 stones Level 35: Blunt Weapon power attacks have a high chance of knocking enemies over +10% Level 45: Bladed attacks have additional dismemberment chance +10%

to be fair, the tooltip in-game does say that raising your strength gives you more health. I think the confusion just comes from the word "strength" implying a lot more than just a health boost. That, and misinformation being spread about "it actually does this and this". But I do agree, they could make it a bit clearer so that people don't feel the need to spend hours doing tests on it

Thats useful. I do hope they make strength do more as they keep updating the game tho. Being able to carry more and do some more melee damage seem no brainers.
@@wolkenspalter4428 No i mean it should give you more carry capacity for all the item types inside your backpack. One thing these sorta games should do is remove early game frustration/time sinks by late game when you've been doing it for ages and wanna get on with stuff.. Part of that process is normally more carry capacity. Also things like your food and water and stamina bars last longer.

Just gotta say.... immediately when I clicked on your video I started head banging I love your intro its not like other cringe intros where it slowly builds up and then plays a dubstep, yours just instantly starts playing this sick beat.
Things that increased strength *could* do: -Allow more carrying capacity (balance by decreasing initial capacity) -Increase melee damage to enemies and trees -Decrease stamina usage -Allow character to carry more logs (balance by starting with 1, increase to 2 at strength 10, max out at 3 logs at strength 20) -Allow character to pickup larger enemy corpses (red dudes, etc) at a certain level
I admire your determination because after like 5 or 10 minutes of swinging a weapon or picking up a log over and over again I would lose interest but I hope in the future they make strength do a little more because I think in the first game I'd made you do a little more damage
Things that can be added for levels imoroved attack damage ( strength ) carry more logs could be 4 on level 50 Improved muscle memory (easier to cut trees) stamina , from running and maybe they could do something about the thirst and hunger too
I have noticed exactly the same info for my experience with strength. The game is still buggy at times with inventory so sometimes it seems you have more than you can hold but upon researching it, when you get rid of the extra, you still can't pick them back up. Thanks for testing!
Thanks for the fantastic video! You didn't put any false info or try to feed us a hypothesis as 'fact'. You did so much research and we appreciate it! Also, bless you @9:39 lol
Wonderfully work, I noticed the change and was going to make myself a video myself but im already been in the production of a video and had streams covering this but didnt have the exact sample data to say anything fully conclusively Thank you, we appreciate you and your service
I would challenge the transport capacity claim in some degrees: My friends and I could only craft and carry a maximum 2 spears while starting the game, it increased steadily through time and we can carry up to 5 now. Strength is the only displayed variable I can think of to justify the change.
nope, stamina is tied to vitality. vitality is not tied to health as far as i can tell. things that affect vitality are: cold, wet, hunger, thirst, and energy.
Thanks brother. I just finished my first "playthrough". It was my Test character just to see how the game works. I like the uncertainty and the horror it brings to game like this, but with hud based game mechanics, I think the ins and outs(basic) should be provided easily in game. Also I'm with you, I want strength to mean something this time. In the first game it only increases the dmg you do to enemies, not animals, just hostile humanoids. I'd like to be able to carry three logs, hold 2x the current inventory, reduce dmg taken(muscle = padding), and increase my stamina.
Thank you sir, on behalf of everyone. Thank you for putting yourself through this to figure out strength. I hope this video makes allot of money for you
I’ve also had the random bug where I suddenly have 39 stones in my inventory. But when you use them your max carry is still the usual 10. I think they will make strength more useful in the future. They did that in the Forest 1 - where your strength let you deal more damage and carry more logs etc.
The way to be sure that the curve is exponential is to divide the previous value in to the next value for swings because each iteration is one power greater then the previous one. (P*A^(x+1))/(P*A^x) will always equal A which is the factor of change. The factor of change is constant in exponential growth. The only reason I mentioned it was cause there are other curves that look exponential especially in the first couple positive integer steps.
I don't know if they changed this for the final game, they changed a lot of things and details. NPC enemies are smarter enough so that the camp fights are more challenging (at least for me) until you get OP weapons like the shotgun and the crossbow. They also reduced the inventory number for some items and you can open plastic boxed and briefcases only once, those will not respawn after exiting and entering the game. Only some items will respawn. The strength meter is now showing the level number inside the icon. Some items are moved to different locations, such as winter jacket. In one sentence, the final game is much better than I hoped it would be, the variety of enemies is great, the map is huge and there are a lot of things to do and I enjoyed every minute of it so far.
I think an increase in damage and carry capacity would be a very logical side effect of a strength increase ,maybe that will be added .I would prob put time into swinging my axe for a good bit but not sure I'll bother atm
I can confirm I've temporarily had bugged inventory items. For me, it was bones. I had 60+ one time I looked; it went back to the standard amount the next time I opened my inventory
OMG i never knew that there were levels to strength. I knew it increased from actions (I had no idea what actions), but I thought it slowly goes down or resets as time goes on. I've never seen the level numbers before. It should display that somewhere.
Hopefully they make it so we can carry more because Sons of The Forest is almost at the top of my list of The Most Grindy Survival Games, ever. Building a base on games like Rust, Ark and Conan Exiles is way easier from the get-go.
I gotta reel myself back when I get annoyed at this game. It's so pretty that I forget it's a brand new early access title lmao like it's so dumb that swinging tools boosts strength, but swinging a tool into a tree, actually USING THE TOOL, does nothing. But then I remember they probably just haven't gotten around to it yet
Hell if you play the game you figure it out pretty quick. It works with the golden armor so its hand for farming creepy armor or just being out and about.
thank you for your research and explanation of this. i truly hope they take into consideration of tweaking this to effect at least some of the suggestions/assumptions you had for how strength would benefit the character.
thank you so much for this test. i bet it took hrs to do and then to edit and u gave it to us in 10mins so i appreciate u. this is great to know but kinda bummed we dont do extra damage considering days get harder
I started a new game today and realized I could only carry 4 spears in the very beginning, with my other save (~day 15) I can carry 5. This has to be related to strength I think and might have been a change from one of the updates :)
They should make strength diminish over time and allow players to create dumbbells or some sort of work-out station to get your strength up instead of swinging a weapon over and over again.

The Devs should make it to where you can swing heavier weapons faster with higher strength
Hell if you play the game you figure it out pretty quick.
It works with the golden armor so its hand for farming creepy armor or just being out and about.
Another pointer towards SoTF being more eye-candy than substance at the moment - it's kinda hollow.
Holy cow man, I don't know anyone that does such deep dives as you do. Freaking amazing dude!
I figured it was just health. Nice to see confirmation
this is really cool to know for real, my guess is they will add more stuff to do with strenght i really dont think so they will leave it like that
Amazing level of commitment! 👏👏👏
Because of the lengths he went to figure this stuff out. I subbed.
Thanks!
Would love it if a higher strength made it where you could swing heavy things using less stamina.
thank you for your research and explanation of this. i truly hope they take into consideration of tweaking this to effect at least some of the suggestions/assumptions you had for how strength would benefit the character.
7:40 You just had to Judy Chop Kelvin huh bro. lmfao
thank you so much for this test. i bet it took hrs to do and then to edit and u gave it to us in 10mins so i appreciate u. this is great to know but kinda bummed we dont do extra damage considering days get harder
Nice I wish the game had done literally anything to tell me this when I played it
Awesome job on this! I bet this took forever to compile.
yeah when you randomly end up with 30 large rocks in your inventory, thats a bug. i got that at like level 5
What an insanely good video! Amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The game literally says strength increases max HP in the tooltips during loading screens, but at least now we know for sure it does what it says 😅
I started a new game today and realized I could only carry 4 spears in the very beginning, with my other save (~day 15) I can carry 5. This has to be related to strength I think and might have been a change from one of the updates :)
Bro i just realised you built your base in the exact same spot as i did 1:1 same spot
This was amazing work, thank you for the detailed experiment!!
Love the sneeze outro
They should make strength diminish over time and allow players to create dumbbells or some sort of work-out station to get your strength up instead of swinging a weapon over and over again.
The amount of scientific testing in this video really impressed me, kudos!
The extra stick in your inventory bug I think may be kelvin using you as a stick holder. Had this happen to me, empty holder but 74 sticks ☠️
Interesting observation there
I hope they add faster running while holding stuff, or more damage & blocking power
7:40 RIP Kelvin 🤣
Great video Tem!!! Thanks for all the hard work here, and the amazing videos you release!!!
