Sons of the Forest: How to Build a Defensive Wall

There are quite a few dangers in-game that you’ll have to make sure you can protect yourself against. Whether it’s a scout, a group of cannibals you attracted with a fire burning at night, or even a mutant monster, you will be in danger more than once in the game. In the beginning, an easy way to keep yourself a bit safer is to build a defensive wall around your base.

Building a defensive wall isn’t too difficult. But it does take a lot of resources and time. That being said, getting a pretty early start on it wouldn’t be a bad idea.

The first thing you will need to do to build a defensive wall around your base is to gather as many logs as possible. This will take a while, so it might be a good idea to task Kelvin to collect logs and bring them to you. This can speed up the process quite a bit.

Once you’ve collected a decent amount of logs, it’s time to start placing them. When you have one in your hands, scroll through the placement options until you see a circle on the ground, showing that you can place it straight up and down. Next, continue to place them in a row until you have your defensive wall placed.

Now, using your axe, show the top of them when the option to chop them into a spike appears, and you will have yourself a full defensive wall around your base.

Jordan is an experienced fantasy writer who spends hours behind her laptop, and lost in the pages of a book. She strives to be a successful gaming blogger, and has no complaint about the hours of game time she used to increase her knowledge of all things “geek”. She primarily writes gaming articles and fantasy novels. Ark: Survival Evolved is a favorite, along with Diablo 3, Warframe and Minecraft lately, though you can’t forget the good old Magic the Gathering card game! Writing about games truly gives her joy as it gives her another perspective to look at games from, a reason to really look into the mechanics of the game.
