Sons of the Forest allows players to embrace creativity by building impressive custom structures. While traditional building blueprints are still an option, users are able to place logs anywhere on the map and combine them into anything they'd like. This enables all kinds of interesting creations, such as large communities of homes or tall towers, to Hang Glide from. Players must learn how to properly cut logs and use them in the correct places to create things like ramps, stairs, or spiked walls.
1. To start building, press Right-click while holding a log to enter placement mode.
2. Switch between Placement Modes by pressing Right-click again, using Q and R to rotate.
3. After placing, logs can be connected by placing them next to each other.
4. More building pieces are available by Cutting Logs with the Axe.
5. The Cut Direction changes the type of log that will be produced.
6. Verticle Logs can also be sharpened with the Axe, creating a spike.
7. Using Diagonal Logs allows structures like Ramps or Stairs to be created with cut logs.
8. Buildings will need lots of Structural Support, which can be increased by building Struts out of half-logs.
9. Combine all of the above methods to create impressive custom structures.
