In The Forest, difficulty settings on a server determine the overall challenge level of the game world. Server hosts can adjust difficulty parameters, affecting factors like the strength and aggression of hostile creatures, resource availability, and the complexity of survival mechanics. These settings provide a flexible way for players to tailor their multiplayer experience, from a more relaxed and cooperative gameplay style on lower difficulties to a highly challenging and intense survival experience on higher settings.
