FullAuto

Hold the fire button to shoot guns full-auto in Sons of the Forest.

Works with the pistol, revolver, shotgun and rifle. The fire rate is adjustable and your settings are saved between sessions.

Multiplayer

Client side only. Nothing gets installed on a dedicated server, and other players do not need the mod.

Installation

Step 1: Install RedLoader

RedLoader is the mod loader for Sons of the Forest. The game cannot load any mod without it, so install it first. You only have to do this once.

Download RedLoader.zip from the latest RedLoader release
Extract it into your Sons of the Forest folder, the one containing SonsOfTheForest.exe, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sons Of The Forest
Launch the game once and wait until you reach the main menu. The first launch takes a few minutes while RedLoader processes the game files
Check that MODS appears on the main menu, then quit

Step 2: Install FullAuto

Download FullAuto.zip from the latest release
Extract it into the Mods folder inside your game folder
You should end up with:

Mods\FullAuto.dll
Mods\FullAuto\manifest.json

Usage

Equip a gun and hold the fire button.

With a gun equipped, click the middle mouse button to cycle fire modes:

Mode	Behavior
Full-automatic	Fires while the button is held
Semi-automatic	Normal game behavior, one shot per click
3-Round Burst	Fires 3 shots, then release and press again for the next 3

The mod starts in full-automatic every time the game loads.

Press F1 to open the console, then use these commands:

Command	Action
`fullauto`	Show current settings
`fullauto on`	Enable
`fullauto off`	Disable until the game restarts
`fullauto toggle`	Switch between on and off
`fullauto rpm 1200`	Set the fire rate, 60 to 3000 rounds per minute
`fullauto debug`	Log every shot to `_RedLoader\Latest.log`

The default is 900 rpm. The rpm also sets how fast burst shots fire.

The rpm is saved to UserData\FullAuto.txt in your game folder.

Supported weapons

Only the pistol, revolver, shotgun and rifle are affected. Bows, the crossbow, slingshot, flare gun, stun gun, rope gun and thrown items keep their normal behavior.

Building from source

Requires the .NET 8 SDK and RedLoader installed with its game assemblies generated.

.\build.ps1 -Install

Use -Package to build FullAuto.zip for a release. Pass -GameDir "path" if the game is not found automatically.

Troubleshooting

Check _RedLoader\Latest.log in your game folder. FullAuto logs a line when it
