For everyone scared about the "Some Suspicious Files":
The Virus scans also check for outgoing connections. The tool needs to communicate with the Mega upload server for the automatic updater. Somehow 2 of the like 50 security scanners, marks this as malicious and sometime the moderators dont have the time to release this claim. Its good that you are suspicious, but you shouldnt be that paranoid and check the scans yourself to see that its only two of many scanners that reject the file.
To give everyone a calm mind, here is the github repo with the source code, so you can check yourself:
lol YOU fu*** up your save bro. The tool was working till the last patch. You do not know how mods works, so let me explain a bit, before u get mad.
This tool changes the saves file. As u can see, here at nexusmods: Last updated 08 March 202311:13AM Original upload 08 March 202311:13AM Created by TheSkimek Uploaded by TheSkimek Virus scan Safe to use
Last updated: 08 March. It is the last time the author updated his mod. Okay, now u learned how check last time the mod/tool was updated.
The next step is go to steam's game's store page and click the button: See all updates (Latest: Mar 10)
As you can see, the latest game update was Mar 10. So the game updated AFTER the last mod update. Open the update notes on steam, and you can see the 9 Mar update:
For our first patch we have added a new mini-boss battle, new binoculars pickup, hang gliders, defensive wall gates and door locks as well as lots more, for the full list check below:
Features
Added Binoculars
Added Hang Glider
Added Defensive Wall gate
As it added new itens, its high the probality the saves changed. So, as this tool manage saves, and it is older than the game updates, you can figure out that it may cause bugs or errors. May, not for sure.
In this cases, just make a bkp of your save BEFORE open it on this tool. After u made a bkp, try using the tool. If it works with no problem, OKAY, the tool does not need be updated cause it stills works great. If u noticed that it breaks your save or bugs anything, just restore your backup save and wait the author's update the mod/tool.
Well, it is just the basics about modding. If u do not want risk get any bug, just play the game with no mods.
Sometimes the moders need some time to learn what changed in the game to update your mods. Its unecessary this type of comments. Of course the authors know they need update their mod. So instead done bad comment, wait for the update.
Mirror link works, tool works just fine, maybe its because there is an .exe file that flags it on Nexus? Haven't found anything suspicious in the files itsself but I am no code wizard.

Also, shotgun shells are missing
i updated the ItemIDs with some missing items and new items that were added with the last update.
I will add a function to open the SaveFile folder, so you dont have to search for it by yourself.
But if you cant wait it would be here:
C:\Users\*YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME*\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves\
Replace "*YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME*" accordingly

The author's alerted about the risk:
" There is also a function to backup your SaveGame before you edit anything (highly suggested!) and to reset all the trees you have cut. "
If u read all the description, you would not broke your save :P
