About: Sons Of The Forest
Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator.
#TotalXclipse #SonsOfTheForest #SonsOfTheForestBuildguide - Hry
I built a small house surrounded by a wall with one gate. Felt like home until a bunch of babies spawned inside the walled area. Haven't played it since, just totally defeated the purpose of building a defensive place. And it was a tiny little place so can't blame it on the walls not rendering
sounds like a glitch/bug to me. Or maybe you didnt light it out (if that even matters in that game) but i had never troubles
No you just need to git gud
They've pretty recently fixed this glitch. Enemies will now no longer spawn inside your base or past your defensive walls. It's pretty forgiving with what it considers "inside your base" as well.
I build on the cave and nothing invade my base
Good reason to have traps… swatter trap is excellent
For your base corners you can stack 3 pieces of firewood side by side to get a similar appearance of the 45 degree wood angle and place sticks on em
Awesome! Makes me want to build a similar fort. I would have cleared out the cannibal tents and set up a bunch of tarp tents instead but I understand wanting to incorporate the unique features of the terrain.
Bro I use a mod system to go into builder mode and I haven't made anything as big as these structures. You spending so much time and effort is amazing and I truly hope you are rewarded for the hard work. So much time put into these builds.
What is the builder mode?
@@TotalXclipse I use the log hack as well but builder mode instantly builds ghosts when you place them.
@@MmaMadman85 the name bro whats the name
@@blakesiemer3518 the app is called "WeMod"
@@blakesiemer3518 apparently its a secret 😆
Nice build, my current plan is putting up ziplines all around the island about 3/4 done, putting ziplines all across the top of the ice mountain was painful but worth it
Love watching the building vids, would absolutely love to see somebody build an entire village with different structures for storage equipment and materials and structures to hold a greenhouse and housing the whole thing.
I know it would be a massive thing with multiple episodes, but would really look forward to that .🎉
As a community we need to push for more uses for the shovel like digging a moat or traps. If they can pull it off this would be the greatest survival game of all time
Very nice work! I just started playing after 1.0 and my first game I got killed over and over and so started a new game by the ocean and built a much smaller version of what you made with a log cabin inside as its an enormous help to have a safe base so when 4 or 5 guys show up you can pick them off with arrows and stay safe, and also helps as need an indoor stick bed to get fully rested when sleep
you make the best base idea videos on youtube, love them :D
Great build thanks for sharing!
Beautiful build my man. That's just easy on the eyes
I've experienced the same bug at 12:30 and for me restarting the game seemed to fix it.
Awesome build btw :)
Great build TX!
Great build my guy
I think utilizing 3/4 logs for the rampart supports would lower them behind the defensive walls enough to give it the protected appearance you were looking for.
I actually watched the whole vid amazing content potential
Nice! I like the way you did the walls. I personally would have made an overhang over the front of the walls so that I could add machicolations!
Saving that for my castle build when they give us stone!
@@TotalXclipse Fair enough!
@@TotalXclipse How could i have forgotten about stone being a building material, lmao that will be great, can't wait for it! Fingers crossed! :)
This is amazing!
0:55 OMG!!! I have never seen this Roman style fort before... But that is exactly my standard build in SOTF. Well the perimeter wall and towers in the corners anyway.
Amazing build 600th like btw :)
thats the thing i wanted to see. looks good
at 9:24 it seems you can add vertical logs to the corners where you have the posts going overtop the wall. You could add quarter posts to the top and then connect them with full posts horizontally to make a barrier so people don't fall over the top.
I thought about that, but then theres no point in spiking the walls because the cannibals can jump up
I'd really like to have some chimneys and fire places as an option for building, it'd just look so cool in the middle of the forrest with smoke coming out.
Imagine being able to smoke meats not just dry.
Totally! I tried too make one out of wood and a hole in the roof. Worked fine until rain or snow put it out lol
I really hope we get stone building pieces and they let us cut the stone in interesting shapes.
this aged pretty well
man i freakin love this game so much
these structure are so impressive, hope I have the ability to design and make them
impressive build 👌
Use a stick fence on top of the walkway along the wall
History nerd, here. This is freakin brilliant.
I want to see some of these builds in action with cannibals attacking the lake builds seem like an obvious benefit. I'm hoping Endnight at some point allows for terrain editing with the shovel, especially if you could draw blueprints for trenches and get Kelvin to start digging 😅
@@shawnofdadead1805 I mean they might have that in store, they have a shovel and already to allow us to dig. And sometimes when you place a log on a slope the terrain matches with it
@@shawnofdadead1805 I do agree it is one of the more unlikely things, but I gotta say I didn't expect an EUC either lmao
I built a Fort Very similar to this!! Its massive and took forever.
Nice work on the build
I would play this game if my game was playable
Awesome!
i love this build, makes my castle look cheap lol
"Hey, Maximus, nice Golf Cart you got from Ceasar there! 🙂
This Looks! good.
Hopefully Sons of the Forest will add more options and buildables....
this is insane my friend, wish I had a group to rebuild this with in game. Been solo lol
Same , wana be friends hahah
Love it❤
Had to sub
just WOW
thank you for the ideas
expecially the below spikes for defence ^^
me and my friend are noobs
so much to experiment and learn ^^
great game, maybe the best for 2023-2024-2025
and
CIAO PER ORA ^^
The building is so addictive haha. Unfortunately the bases will feel ultimately empty because there is nothing to done once the building is complete but yeah, I can go on and on and on forever haha
HOLY CRAP DUDE!
Wish he did a step by step guid. Video is awesome
Nice work, but how did you solve the problem with the outer corners? With sloping stacks of firewood?
WOW, i didnt know u can build a gate ... How did u do it? Just put the 2 split logs onto the defensive wall, and it will open and close? Or how?
Wouldn't stick fences work for the top walkway? Simple and easy to make and I think they would snap to the path.
Your building a Roman fort, but have you given any idea towards the Colonial-Era for Fortifications in the Canadian Interior? As wooden log forts were prevelent there as well and The Forest did feature a flintlock pistol.
I might've played with you. I recognize that first base. :)
i would love to see a time-lapse of you doing you're builds
That's the plan when I get back to the UK and can use both pcs
Stairs are a PITA. Sometimes they need to be built in a specific order. The horizontal logs don't like the diagonal log at all. One of the tricks before the last update was to only place a couple of stairs then work on laying in the horizontal logs before placing in the rest of the steps. I gave up on them. I've started using rope bridges with half length logs for ramp stairs basically.
I did something very similar for my build. Mine looks like a child built it compared to your build 😂
if you had done the towers in a 4x4 space. you'd have been able to make stairs to each floor. would also add more space for stick holders, bookshelf for materials for small rocks and feathers (decoration wise )( etc.
I think you mean 3x3?
RLY COOL!!!!
how did you build the wall with the grid on the ground? when i try that its never working proberly and the directions are off
It’s amazing I don’t have the game yet I have the first one though
Very cool defensive wall! I will have to try and make one of these. I would like to see how well it works against a horde of cannables & mutants.
We tried it in my defensive build guide, out of 200 cannibals who stress tested it, only one got over the wall, so pretty effective
@@TotalXclipseThanks for the reply. That is very good protection actually!
I was walling off my first real house in SotF and thought the gate was a reinforced wall. I turned an entire side of my compound into gates before discovering the error.
Man I can hardly build a cabin by myself without the help of that book or something.
Nice video, in prision i woould protect you in prision
Thanks, I'll try my best to stay out of prison though
sorry i am kinda new, are you able to show on the gps tracker where you build this?? i want to use that same piece of land
I had that same weird bug, with trees in the distance vanishing. I just reloaded a save and it fixed it. I haven't had that happen again and wasn't sure what even triggered it. I also though couldn't interact with anything either, so maybe my issue was a variation or something.
I've had that happen, or my girlfriend has, she was interacting with objects and clicking a bunch while being attacked, then next thing you know she couldn't interact with anything lol. Hasn't happened since release though so hopefully it's fixed mostly
Epic🤩
I have to admit, I thought the talk of a bug with the missing trees was the setup to a deforestation joke at first!
I been wanting to play my Sons of The Forest but it’s having bad freezing and studding issues, I played it for 14 hours straight yesterday and with no problems. I don’t know if it’s my pc or it’s the game??
They need to add we’re u can build your on underground bases and dig holes around your base for base defense
You forgot to finish the spikes and test it against enemies.
That spot is west! The sun sets on that side of the island ;)
I'm just going off of the map positioning online 😅
@@TotalXclipse They screwed the pooch on that! hahaha I've made a vid about it to try and spread awareness, but I'm just a little guy. hahah
Can't you make a stick barrier for the walkways
Next, across the map build?
I really hope they think about allowing us to dig into the ground maybe like 3 feet deep isn’t to bad
thats pretty amazing for sure.
i just wish that this game would actually give you a reason to actually build and maintain these amazing bases.
unlike any other survival game i know, theres little encouragement or reason to do this here.
all you need is 3 sticks and your trusty tarp and you are good.
you may sleep that way anywhere, you can make fires and you find food and water along the way.
your actual objective is to find out the truth and then escape (or to stay and forget your old life for no apparent reason..).
not dissing the game here but the story versus what you can do feels very disconnected.
they should make sleeping a process where theres like a 15% chance you get ambushed by a few or a horde of cannibals or mutants and you dont know until you wake up and hear the sounds. if you're in a tent you just get hit awake and take massive damage and now you're in the dark surrounded. if you had a base you'll wake up and have a lot of time to fight back or flee or something. you could also add in factors like you cannot sleep within 10 minutes of saving. this would make using a tent a very unwise decision and a pain in the butt to use conveniently and would make the awesome building aspect actually matter, where you have to establish maybe 2-5 bases around the island to make sure you have something close enough when that sun starts going down.
Nice
can yout tell me the best plain`s to build?? tkx
its cool i will say the legs extending past the spike walls will get destroyed rather easily
Its fucking awesome
Do cannibals spawn inside of your camp when reloading into the game?
Can you create round base in this game?
Love it. But the trees hate you for chopping them down thats why they disappear 😁
I want to build a similar base when update 1.0 is released.
Красиво построил!
But the cannibals will spawn inside your camp since there is a cannibal camp inside your camp? Anyways great looking fortress!
I'd just use a zip-line up those corner towers.
Me and my friends tried multiplayers and Hard Difficulty for the first time, and we decided to build right on the ocean crash site.
Worst choice ever, but still managed to build a decent house.
Even though Red Cannibal will come here and destroy 15% of it every milisecond, and we barely had any food or water
We're just too lazy to move our home lol
12:20 so much wood was chopped for this build you scared the forest away.
can someone tell me the location of this camp pls ? :/
I wouldst live there, do to that location being indefensible. However i will use those defences
is the save downloadable?
Since your comment is from 11 months ago when game was early in early access I’d bet that wouldn’t happen now that game is full release 1.0. You’re missing out on a great game if liked the first one
its maybe not 100 accurate but it is still accurate in the sense of what little information we know of Roman fortresses. keep in mind theres no physical evidence of how a roman fortress would have looked like considered they werent built for the purpose to stay around. all th evidence we have are tools and descriptions. most are actually based of what we assume and not of what we have.
where is it
Could someone tell me what command to use to hover and look down on your build please. Thank-you
I don't know if there's a command for it, I use a mod to fly
@@TotalXclipse ok thanks for answering.
Won't the mutants respawn back in the camp inside the fortress?
where its this spot ??
how much logs you are used? :D this is only possible in a creative mode to build this damn building ;D with cannibal mode you created one side of a wall and then you got some enemies much more
where building at?
could someone tell me the exact locationof this build? i found one but it didnt look quite the same so im not sure wether it was that one.
nvm i was on the exact location but the tents were missing. maybe a restart will spawn them
I mention it in the video, it's the south GPS location near the plane runway
@@TotalXclipse yeah but there were no tents in my game save. just a basic camp. probably the camps are also seed related
0:30 - why this looks like Oblivion
song?
bro do u share ur save files ????
Valheim would be perfect for the moat around
I'd ve never thought of building on a cannibal base lol.Don't they spawn inside your base ?That could be awkward.
