How to build a shelter and save progress in Sons of the Forest?

Saving your game progress takes place in shelters, regardless of whether it is a house, tent or tower. In any location in the game, you can save your progress, at least at every turn. When you first start the game, you need to inspect all the boxes and containers on the shore, near which you fell. If the game is started on Easy or Normal mode, you will immediately have an ax, a guide ( Sons of the forest map ) and immediately a tarp.

If you started the game in hardcore mode (maximum difficulty), then your task will also be to find a tarp in the open world. Most often, it is located on a hilltop, which is not far from the coast, near the Aboriginal camp. Also found in tents with a 35% drop chance. Thanks to the tarp, you can craft a primitive tent, which serves to save the process. You need a tarp and one stick (they are everywhere, since we are in the forest).

To make your first shelter (shelter) in Sons of the Forest, you need to open inventory (I) and select the tarp, it is in the upper right corner and put it on the ground anywhere, as long as it can spread.

After we approach the edge of the tent from any side and press LMB, then the stick will be installed in the tarpaulin automatically. Just like that, in a couple of clicks, you have created your first primitive shelter to save the game.

Now you can sleep here and save the game at any time. Just go to the tent and press “E”. A couple of tips: you can put up tents everywhere – the coast, the ground, in the building, etc. After saving and sleeping, try to take it apart (C) to take the tarp and sticks with you. You can save with other players in different places, it’s just important that you press at the same time as you press sleep (Z).

Click to open the guide (B), select the “furniture” section and select the drawing of the bed and assemble it, it is made from 16 sticks (you are a little less than yourself, but in multiplayer you will have enough), but you will also need electrical tape. After that, you can most often find it in plastic containers that are lying on the coast.
