Defences

The defences group holds the HP-per-piece winners. The files carry 2 prefabs named Wall Defensive, storing 1,000 and 400 HP, so the prefab code is shown in the table.

Most HP for the materials

HP per piece is stored HP divided by the ingredient amounts added together. These are the ten best, among structures whose files store an amount.

How many structures share each HP value

HP in The Forest is a handful of steps, not a continuum. Most pieces sit on one of a few values, which is why the ranking has long ties.

What this ranking cannot tell you

26 structures have no stored HP (for example Raft Oar, Custom Foundation, Platform) and the custom Foundation stores chunk-tier numbers instead of one HP. No enemy damage is compared to these values, because the files do not say what an enemy hit takes off a structure.

FAQ

What is the strongest structure in The Forest?

By stored HP, the Log Cabin (1,600). For a defence, the Defensive Spikes stores 1,500.

Which structure gives the most HP for the materials?

Defensive Spikes and Wall Defensive store 166.7 HP per piece, the best ratio among pieces whose cost the files store.

Can I trust these HP numbers?

They are the values stored in the pre-1.10 client's files. The game's code may rescale them at run time and that code was not decoded.
