No not really. The player's avatar would have to get onto the ground (go prone). The animation for this, both first and third person view would take time. Time to get down and get back up.
Second. The player view and movement would be restrictive. You see a lot less and move a lot slower. Plus the avatar would tire out very quickly.
In short, the player would likely spend most of there time in an upright position.

Same here... have nothing with PVP
Got about 2300 hours in the game but like to try out the different kinda mods a.t.m.
Apimods? Like what?
What keeps u interested in the Vanilla version? I feel kind bored after the survivalissues of the first days and then slowly building up ur base, get the concrete u need and survive every 7th night without any pain. What keeps u occupied besides building/repairing?
Perhaps I come by on ur server, dutch rule

The Blunderbuss
One thing that I would like to see is players able to find a blunderbuss by a random find or at the trader.
You could use it at the start or early in the game.
By the time you can make one, you don't needed because by then the player would have found other weapons that are better.

From what I understood is being able to crawl through a 1x1 hole was taken out because if zombies can't do it we shouldn't be able to do it either. From what I have read from time to time now is that zombies will be able to do it but we won't. If so, I don't understand why.

would you imagine making a 1x1 hole to be "safe" from zombies, and then you find crawlers or zombies with their legs missing coming in too? lol
I was constantly seeing legless zombies from cacti, XD
I know people who would make tunnels 1.5 x 1 so theyd have to crouch through it, but zombies would get stuck.

I don't recall using the 1x1 crawlthrough that often but it seems like something you should be able to do. I also don't recall if zombies could get stuck going through 1x1 spaces. I seem to recall having to dig through an area when zombies have swisscheesed (yes I used it as a verb) to get to them to take them out.
All the above is dependent on a failing memory.

@Roland, I have been checking this forum almost daily going onto 5 months now. As frustrating as that is, at least I could go through things organically. Now I have to jump back and forth between threads to try and piece together context of a post. I really dislike this new setup. If you use the latest post as an example, it doesn't even work. I read your quote of madmole saying:
"Here is a first look at new attributes strength, intellect and perception and their perk trees. We hope there are many interesting builds possible with over 250 perk choices and 5 governing attributes."
So I click on it for context and the actual post....
It brings me back to the main page, I click on the link for "Madmole shows new perks". It brings me back to your post. This is such a poor way to organize information. I get that you likely wanted to make dev posts more visible, but this is not the way. This is confusing, frustrating, and a waste of peoples time. A forum is designed around people reading information organically, if you want to do a Dev roundup, I would suggest something along the lines of a summary post, essentially what already exists in the first 2 posts of this thread.

I believe The Forest is full release though, it's gone gold somewhat recently so.. I think it's more available. I myself am playing it right now.. since it's finished to experience all the new things in it. Though it'll only last 200 hours or so..

Roland,
I’d like to co-sign with Mr. Lorax. I appreciate the Herculean effort you spent creating the dev thread and understand why you did it. But I now find both threads unsatisfying since they are both missing necessary context. I typically check in every week or two and like to see the entire discussion For the next dev diary, it would be great if rather than cutting the dev posts from the diary/discussion thread you could simply copy them. I know your hands are tied by the forum software but there may be a better solution after starting fresh with a new diary.
