In The Forest, the maximum player count on a server determines how many survivors can explore, build, and battle the wilderness together in real time. This setting, customizable by the server host, shapes the dynamic of the game—whether it's a tight-knit expedition or a sprawling survival community. Whether you're planning cozy campfire chats with friends or adrenaline-fueled skirmishes against mutated threats in the dark, setting the right player limit ensures your server runs smoothly and matches your group's vibe.
