QUESTS
Forest Ranger always has his hands full. The number and variety of quests will not let anyone get bored. Some tasks you can complete without hurry, in others you will have to do a little jogging. Some will require the use of a car. We do not want to reveal too much. See for yourself.
CRAFTING
What is crafting in Forest Ranger Simulator? It's creating useful things from literally whatever you can find. Sometimes you'll definitely feel like MacGyver.
GATHERING
In order to create something you first have to tear it down. Specifically, we need to acquire materials for building and crafting. To build a table we will need wood. In addition, in the forest we can find many other valuable things like mushrooms.
LEARNING
Forest Ranger Simulator is a game, however, we wanted to include as much valuable information from real life as possible in the game. Thanks to the notebook you will learn a lot about the work of a Forest Ranger, you will also find many interesting facts about forests, such as information about mushrooms. Learn by playing. The name simulator obliges.
WORKSHOP
Workbench. There's nothing like having everything at hand. Saw, pliers, hammer, paintbrush.... and many more tools ready to go. Why not build a bird feeder?
DAY & NIGHT
The profession of Forest Ranger is not a job from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Here you have to be on guard day and night. Remember that the night is dark, and the only light is the glow of the moon and your flashlight. Watching the sunset or the beauty of the moon.... priceless.
CLEANING
Forests, it's not just trees, leaves and animals, it's a ton of trash left by people. You will find more than 150 different trash here. Sometimes you will be surprised what you can find in the forest. Remember that everything has to be sorted. You have special trash garbage cans for this. Some skills as well as large garbage bags will be helpful in cleaning up.
EMERGENCIES
A Forest Ranger has to be alert at all times. You need to observe what's going on in your forest and quickly intervene with a threat. Maybe it's a smoldering fire, or maybe poachers have set up snares again.
Despite the fact that we were not able to raise enough money on Kickstarter, we worked hard so that nevertheless the mechanics and features presented even on the higher tiers could be included in the game. You will find them all already on the Early Access release of the game. They will, of course, be further developed.
Sandbox and Story Modes
It’s up to you to choose how you will contribute to saving the forests. Complete tasks, learn about the next stages of the game and learn many interesting facts about the life of the Forest Ranger and nature itself in quest/story mode. In sandbox mode, you are free like a bird. Do whatever you want. You can create a Statue of Liberty from trash if you are skillful and patient enough!
You’re not a Captain Planet
Don’t Look Up! The problem is closer than you think. The valley you live in is entirely covered with trash. Hunker down, grab a bin liner, and let your area challenge. Look for them, find them, grab them, sort them, and get rid of them once and for all. Pay attention to the constraints of your body - if you collect too much, you may have a hard time carrying it back home. So, firstly plan it wisely, and then, maybe a new set of wheels can help you out.
Learn to Go Green
There are over 150 different trash in the game. Learn how to sort them. Sometimes you can find a real treasure in the rubbish - a really rare and valuable object. What to do with them? One option is to sell it on the market and instead buy new tools, chic furniture for your place, or even, buy your own car to scale up your business! No worries, if you really like something you found, simply keep it and use it to decorate your house. It’s all up to you!
Do or do not, there is no trying!
As a forest ranger, your job will be to take care of the forest. The plague of today's times is garbage. Forests are flooded with rubbish! Firstly you will need to look for them and recognize what type of trash is it. As in real life nowadays you can’t throw them all into one bin. Accurate sorting can be profitable as some of the trash is not really trash as you can sell it online for some bucks. Good forest ranger needs to take care of animals living in the woods. Give some food to hungry birds, build a bird feeder, and remove the traps left by poachers.
Build bee yards in the forest, buy and build birdhouses, and repair hives. Don’t forget to take care of animals and remove animal traps, make sure you prevent fire and do more, so much more.

View on SteamOfficial WebsiteTop Sellers Ranking
What this shows: Steam's top sellers ranking is updated hourly based on revenue, not unit sales. A game consistently in the top 20 demonstrates strong commercial performance. Look for sustained periods in high positions (green zones) which indicate stable revenue generation. Sharp drops often correlate with the end of promotional sales or the launch of competing titles. Investors should note that top 10 placements typically have significant impact on quarterly earnings, especially for mid-sized publishers.
Reviews History
What this shows: Review accumulation over time reveals player sentiment and community reception. The line tracks total review count growth—steep increases indicate viral moments or major updates. The colored bars show daily review breakdown: green (positive) vs. red (negative). Watch for sudden red spikes, which often signal controversies, technical issues, or unpopular changes. Sustained green dominance (70%+ positive) correlates with long-term sales success. For investors, review velocity matters—games maintaining 1,000+ reviews per month show healthy engagement. Compare review ratios to Metacritic scores to spot discrepancies between critic and player reception.
Followers History
Compare in GDI BenchmarkWhat this shows: Follower count tracks ongoing community engagement over time. Unlike wishlists (which reflect purchase intent), followers indicate sustained interest and active monitoring. Rapid growth spikes often correlate with viral moments, major updates, or positive press coverage. For released games, continued follower growth suggests healthy long-term engagement, which supports DLC sales and live-service revenue. For unreleased games, steady upward trajectory indicates building hype. Compare the slope of this line to similar titles—steeper growth rates predict stronger commercial performance. Use the comparison feature to benchmark against up to 4 genre competitors simultaneously for comprehensive competitive analysis.
Compare with other games: Select up to 4 games to overlay their follower growth patterns around release date (±90 days). This helps identify similar launch trajectories and benchmark performance.
What this shows: Recent follower momentum across different time periods. Positive growth indicates increasing community interest and can signal upcoming catalysts like announcements, updates, or viral moments. Compare short-term (24h, 3D) vs long-term (14D, 30D) trends to identify acceleration or deceleration in community growth. Sudden spikes often precede or follow major news events.
Player Statistics
What this shows: Concurrent player counts (CCU) and daily active users reveal real-time engagement with the game. High sustained CCU indicates healthy player retention, which drives ongoing revenue through in-game purchases, DLC, and premium subscriptions. Look for the 24-hour peak—multiplayer games should show clear patterns (evening spikes in major regions). Single-player titles typically see declining CCU over weeks unless major updates or discounts occur. For investors, sustained player counts months after launch signal successful live-service implementation. Sharp drops may indicate server issues, negative publicity, or loss of interest. This data complements revenue estimates—games with 100,000+ daily players usually generate significant recurring income.
Top Wishlist Ranking
What this shows: Wishlist rankings indicate pre-launch demand and commercial potential. Games climbing this chart (lower numbers = better) demonstrate growing anticipation. A top 20 wishlist position typically predicts strong launch-day sales. Watch for acceleration in the final 4-8 weeks before release—games maintaining momentum often exceed revenue expectations. For investors, wishlist trends can signal which upcoming titles will drive next quarter's performance. Sudden ranking improvements often follow major announcements, gameplay reveals, or beta access periods.
Search Interest
What this shows: Google Search trends reveal public awareness and interest over time, independent of Steam metrics. Spikes indicate moments when the game captured mainstream attention—typically around announcements, trailers, beta releases, or launch day. Compare search interest to follower growth to gauge whether marketing efforts are reaching beyond the existing gaming community. For unreleased games, rising search volume suggests effective promotional campaigns. For released games, sustained search interest months after launch indicates lasting cultural relevance. Investors should note: viral search moments don't always translate to sales, but they do indicate brand awareness that could drive future DLC or sequel success. This data helps answer "Is anyone talking about this game outside of core gaming circles?"
