Ponder Forest Moonshine Cabin

🌲 Explore the mysterious Pound Forest

I discovered a forest full of ponderosa pine in an area just outside the border north of Calumet Ravine and named it **Pound Forest**. This forest makes me wish Rockstar would make it an official part of the game - a pristine forest area far away from the world, with no roads through it.

🏡 Moonshiner’s Hideout

Using the Rampage tool, I added more trees to the forest to cover up the empty edges and repeating ground textures, and built a moonshiner's cabin and camp with surrounding cover locations that NPCs could use.

🎯 How to start your adventure

  • **Load map**: Select "PONDER_WOODS" in Rampage > Spawner > Objects > Load/Save
  • **Explore the Forest**: Walk in the forest until you find the hut
  • **Generate Enemies**: Use Rampage to generate enemies, set up hostility and bodyguards to start the battle
  • **Select a bunker**: It is recommended to use an outdoor toilet as a bunker (other bunker locations may have strange bugs)

⚔️Cowboy Shootout Experience

The camp has tents and beds, which can accommodate up to about 7 enemies. I recommend spawning Inbred or Langston gang members for combat as they better fit the vibe of this scene.

🔄 Reset scene

After the battle, if there are bullet holes everywhere, just press "delete all" to delete all objects from the database and reload the map to restore it.

🎨 Carefully arranged details

Although there are no items to pick up in the camp, I spent a lot of time carefully arranging various props to make the whole scene more realistic and vivid.

**Warm reminder**: This is the first module I uploaded. I hope you all like this new battle scene!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
