How to build in Sons of the Forest

Building in Sons of the Forest has two modes available, one close to the same as the previous game and one more freeform. The first one is simpler and more straightforward. All you need to do is open the Guide Book by pressing B and holding X to change modes. After you have selected the desired building piece, you can rotate it with Q and R, cancel with R, or place it with a left click. Some buildings may appear that logs would need to be cut in half, but it isn’t needed.

How to free build in Sons of the Forest

The second mode available in Sons of the Forest allows players to build without blueprints. The building is done by placing items from your hands in the correct place; a diagram will appear on the ground. On the Guide Book, by pressing B, you will have a step-by-step guide for all the recipes available in the game. An example of this form of building:

Place one log on the ground. Place a second log at the end of the first one at a 90-degree angle. Repeat until you have an empty square. Cut logs in half length-wise to obtain wooden planks. Place the wooden planks in the empty space.
