20+ Building Tips Tricks And Glitches | Sons of The Forest 1.0

[@hurmzz]

You can also use different size planks on the rope bridge for a more varied look (also different sizes on the same bridge). And what still not many people know; you can build a higher fence. When having placed the first row of fence, instead of looking to the top of the sticks to place a stick on top (this will create an effigy) look for the base of the stick and place the stick “inside” the bottom one. The stick will be placed on top but it will be a normal/fence stick instead of an effigy.

[@RIPDIESEL]

Good points, I wish I thought to add these!

Near here “im sure something can come out of it” 11:14 thank you! I was trying to find a way to increase my electric fence height and this is just that!

With the new platform building, you can build them over water allowing for water based without needing ice

[@RIPDIESEL]

That's a good point, I didn't think of that when I was recording this.

Am im the only one that has problem woth building over water? I tried to make platform over the lake, but as soon as i come near to it, my fps drops to 5-6?

[@RIPDIESEL]

My favorite defensive wall isn't to use palisades but to put a log down on the ground and put 2-3 levels of quarter logs with logs across. The enemy ai can't climb over the wall and you can shoot and spear through the gaps in the walls. It costs a lot less logs and the walls are actually stronger hp wise.

[@RIPDIESEL]

Yeah same here, good stuff

[@kreozello]

You can not only build atop of the digsite bunkers, but if you'll get a rope gun you could throw a rope inside to the hacth and the floor and if you'll do it correctly, you could transport logs in! Have to get friends to load collision inside or build the log storage tho as otherwise the logs will fall through the bunker. By having a friend inside you could also get into the bunker by bugs or cheats without triggering the bunker load itself thus you could not only stand there bur also build in it as you also have avoided custom building block! P.s. some bunkers as Maintenance A does not have collision for the ceiling thus you could shoot the rope out and get back to the bunker when someone is inside. Beware of falling through to the void tho 😂

[@RIPDIESEL]

Haha I thought about adding this in, but I didn't want to get yelled at in the comments for falling through the map.

[@mrsnekk5297]

1.0 has a lot of nice new features, but they also removed many. I dislike how loot doesnt respawn, the massive nerf on guns, sickness system, and many more annoying changes. The worst of all, I cant say I like the new ending cutscenes. They feel rushed and low effort. Many things simply dont make sense.

[@RIPDIESEL]

I completely agree.

[@MateoSolis96]

For the loot respawn you have to play a custom game and change that unfortunately. You could change the sickness system off, but it’s a custom game.

[@mrsnekk5297]

@@MateoSolis96 Thanks for this I actually didnt know

[@explodingcows54]

The loot respawn was way too op, and loot still does respawn, just not the boxes

[@mrsnekk5297]

@@explodingcows54 Some people just wanna build and have fun while others enjoy the challenge. Loot respawn should be a toggleable option like construction animations in gameplay.

I like the glitch when you build a wall at the mountain and throw a rope into the inside of the mountain, so you can climb there.

The first tip is foiled by Kelvin when you set him to maintain the base. He'll chop the tops into spikes when you place any walls. I think the AI is working together on this one!

[@levelord]

I tried to replicate your method to leave the 90° grid and got it working. Any way to have it aligned with the grid(as it used to be), so that it is not completely free but possible to make like 12.5° angles and such? Otherwise nothing will join up with preexisting grid.

[@RIPDIESEL]

around 30 seconds into this video shows you how to connect circles to grids. kzbin.info/www/bejne/omqZcqWpgbCcp8k

How you get infinit logs? Great video.

Thanks! There's a few ways. The first is when you complete the storyline you'll unlock creative mode. The second is using console commands (when loaded into a save, type cheatstick and then press f1 to bring up commands. when the commands come up type loghack on.)

[@svenvansteelandt7353]

Maybe its in the video or widely know, but in multiplayer you can throw logs through caves (i've only did this in the 3d printer cave) It seems you cannot build in caves but you can place shelves.

you can build most book items, as well with sticks and rocks in caves, but not with logs stone etc
