Summary
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.
