The Forest Starter Route Hub

Section Notes

A starter hub for The Forest early routes, first goals, mission order, and common blockers. This section starts as the structural hub for the new site. Future articles should attach here so readers can move from beginner questions to cleanup pages without restarting their search.

Current Priorities

Cover the routes, systems, and choices players are most likely to search.
Keep each article tied to one clear question instead of generic overview text.
Link new pages back to relevant quests, gear, maps, or update notes.
