Getting Started in Forest Market
Your first hour in Pasar Hutan — from empty plots to a living shop floor.
Forest Market (Indonesian: Pasar Hutan; formerly Pasar Setan / Devil’s Market) is a free-to-play Roblox simulation tycoon by Project Dukun. You grow crops, care for animals, cook meals, stock shelves, and serve customers — optionally with up to 11 other players on the same server. This beginner guide gets you through day one without drowning in side systems.
Launch from the official Roblox game page and confirm the place ID so you do not join a lookalike. For group shouts, use the verified Project Dukun community. More destinations sit on Official Links.
What you are building
Memorize the core loop before anything else:
- Plant seeds in your plots
- Water crops on time
- Harvest when ready
- Collect animal products (eggs, milk) when you unlock animals
- Cook meals at the cooking station
- Stock shop shelves
- Let customers buy
- Upgrade facilities and repeat
Extras — Tuyul pets, mining, forge, foraging, Spirit Chest, Magic Shop, Guild Hall, Lapak ride — are spice. They are not your first-hour job.
First-session checklist (30–60 minutes)
- Finish the tutorial prompts. Click through every highlighter; they unlock HUD buttons you will need later.
- Claim a starter plot area and plant the cheapest seeds. Fast staples beat fancy packets (crops tier list).
- Water immediately, then set a mental timer to return before crops dry out.
- Harvest and try a raw shelf stock if cooking is not open yet.
- Unlock or use the cooking station as soon as possible — even one simple meal teaches the UI (cooking guide).
- Stock shelves before you explore (stocking guide). Empty shops earn nothing.
- Make a first customer sale — progress toward badges like First Sale (Players Hub).
- Ride the Lapak once when plots are stable so you can tick Ride the Lapak without neglecting water.
- Ignore codes for now — there are no confirmed promo codes as of November 2026.
- Skip scripts until you understand the loop; see Scripts Hub only with full risk awareness.

Controls and camera habits
Forest Market uses standard Roblox movement. On keyboard: WASD move, space jump, standard camera orbit. On mobile: thumbstick + jump. Practical beginner habits matter more than keybinds:
- After planting a row, turn the camera to see wilt indicators quickly
- Keep the shop entrance in a favorite camera angle so you notice empty shelves
- When co-op partners talk in chat, answer with short role calls: “watering,” “cooking,” “stocking”
Early money priorities
Spend your first profits in this order unless a tutorial forces otherwise:
- Seeds you can actually finish watering
- Cooking access / basic recipes
- Shelf capacity or quality-of-life that shortens restocks
- Animal unlocks for eggs/milk
- Cosmetic or ride flex
Do not dump everything into mining picks or forge vanity before the shop prints passive sales. Side systems shine after the pasar breathes on its own.
Learning path after the tutorial
| Next guide | Why you need it |
|---|---|
| Farming loop | Master plant/water/harvest timing |
| Cooking meals | Multiply crop value |
| Stocking the shop | Convert stock into coins |
| Animals & Tuyul | Passive inputs and helpers |
| Tier List Hub | Stop guessing what to grow/cook |
| Updates / Guild Hall | When events are live |
Co-op beginners
If you join with friends on a 12-player server:
- Assign one watering owner so plots are not double-worked or ignored
- Let the most patient player cook
- Put your chatty friend on shop restocks and customer watching
- Explore mining together only after shelves are full
Public servers can be chaotic. Private friend servers are kinder classrooms.
Common day-one mistakes
- Wandering to Guild Hall or Lapak while crops thirst
- Selling all raw forever and wondering why upgrades feel slow
- Buying expensive seeds ranked for late game (crops)
- Trusting random “code” lists (Codes Hub)
- Installing an executor because a thumbnail promised millions (auto-farm risks)
- Leaving the server the moment shelves empty — restock first, then AFK
How to know you “graduated” beginner status
You can:
- Complete a full plant→cook→stock cycle without a guide open
- Explain why a meal out-earns its raw parts (meals tier list)
- Keep shelves non-empty for an entire water rotation
- Name two animal products and what you cook with them
- Find the official group without Googling phishing Discords
When that list feels easy, skim Updates for current events and start optimizing with tier lists instead of vibes.
Mindset
Forest Market rewards calm operators. The fantasy is running a warm forest pasar, not speedrunning a PvP ladder. Take the first hour slow, bookmark this wiki’s Guides Hub, and build habits you can repeat on season resets and event weeks alike.
Welcome to the woods — open for business.

Why do some videos say Pasar Setan?
That was an earlier name (also Devil's Market) before Forest Market / Pasar Hutan. Gameplay ideas overlap, but use current UI and prices.
