## Description

### RedEffect[#](#md-redeffect)

Various advanced post processing effects and environment settings.
 Edit the whole unity post processing stack that Sons of the Forest has applied and tweak additional settings like grass density/distance, sun options, billboard materials and ocean fog.

**Currently the settings will only apply to daylight, night and caves will be handled in an update.**

 None of the settings can corrupt your save or the game files so you can go wild with them. If you messed up something click the revert all button or delete the config file at `Sons Of The Forest/UserData/RedEffect.cfg`.
