Repeat this for all the elements.

Wall

Take a log and place it horizontally on the ground.

The optimal wall height is 7 logs.

PC

Window

First, build a wall using the instructions above.

Equip an axe and aim the camera at the center of the wall.

The game will show you where to chop with red dashed lines.

PC

Start chopping with left-click.

Repeat the process until you get the desired window size.

Cut logs into half logs.

PC

The game will mark how to place them with avertical arrow pointing upwards.

After filling the space, you could now use the door.

It will open and close automatically when you go through it.

PC

Single Step

you might only build a step after crafting a floor.

Cut the log lengthwise to get a plank.

You’ll now set the log vertically.

PC

Lean the second log against the first.

The arrow will point you in the right direction.

Place the third log under the opposite end of the second one.

Sons of the Forest

This will lift the entire structure and create a beam.

you’ve got the option to also use an axe to shorten the logs supporting the structure.

This lets you adjust the beam height to your needs.

First build some basic beams.

you could follow the pattern found in the Book.

The game signals this with an animated white arrow.

Roof

To create a roof, you must first build at least two perpendicular walls.

Then rest a log against the end of one of the walls.

It works on the same principle as crafting basic beams.

Place the second log to raise the beam.

Place the third log between the wall and the beam you just placed.

The last step is to cut the logs into boards.

Keep placing them until they cover the area of your choice.White horizontal arrows indicate where to place the planks.

Stairs

Place a log vertically.

Accept the action with a left-click.

Place the log on the pieces you’ve just set up, just like when creating beams.

The game will automatically cut the materials and place the planks.

Repeat until you’ve completed the entire staircase.

Ramp

it’s possible for you to build the ramp nearly indentically to the stairs.

Confirm with left-click and repeat the process until filling the entire desired space.

Defensive Wall

Place the first log vertically.

Point the camera down andplace another log when a circle symbol with a short line appears.

Repeat this process until you extend the wall to its desired length.

To sharpen the logs, equip an axe andpoint the camera at the top of the log.

When red dashed lines appear, lefti-click.

Repeat this with remaining parts of the wall.

Approach the wall and, when you see a long vertical dashed line, left-click to attach it.

Rope Bridge

Build two walls, spaced apart from each other and facing the same direction.

It’s critical for them to be facing each other.

Do this twice to make room for the plank floor.

Grab a log and point the camera at the logs.

After left-clicking,the game should automatically cut the material into planks and place it down.

Repeat this until filling the bridge with planks.

Firewood

Cut the log lengthwise.

Then cut the board into 4 pieces.
