Beautiful building is not only in Anno. This is also possible in Sons of the Forest. Even if the construction mode is not quite as pompous as compared to the construction game from Ubisoft. In the last few days we have been able to marvel at countless impressive bases and cozy huts, especially on Reddit and YouTube, where we have asked ourselves the question more than once how is that possible?
?
To get to the bottom of the question, we spoke to one of the construction experts and asked him for specific tips. We present them to you here.
Who did we talk to?
Introverse has been in Hogwarts Legacy from the room of desires or the Vivarien made true works of art. Now he has let off steam in Sons of the Forest’s build mode and built this magnificent hut:

For the entire building, Introverse needed about four to five hours of pure construction time. That’s probably a little more than most of you are sitting at your bases. When we asked what was probably the most difficult thing about this construction, he said:
This new building system is very interesting and rewarding, but still very tedious. The hardest part was probably getting everything snapped in correctly without missing a pillar or beam anywhere, because in that case you might have to tear down half the structure just to place it.

4 tips from the experts
So that you don’t have to tear down your laboriously built construction, we asked for specific tips and tricks on how to build your own dream hut. Introverse recommends a few framework conditions for your game:
He recommends playing on a separate save and that Turn off enemy spawning. This way you won’t be disturbed while building by annoying cannibals who will maraud through your unfinished house. In addition, you can do more Enable cheatsto further improve conditions.
But cannibals are not the only source of danger for you and your sweet home. Kelvin the Destroyer can also throw a spanner in the works if he once again mistakes the supporting beams of your construct for free-roaming game. There is a solution for this as well.
I know it sounds bad, but… i just killed him. He didn’t want to follow orders and just stay in the thick of things and slow me down, so I did what I had to do!

After following all these steps, there is one last basic tip for building itself:
With this new building system, it’s very easy to miss a step and not be able to change it. So I suggest starting with a framework of your work first and then filling it in when you are happy.

You should therefore have an approximate plan in place before you actually start building, so that you don’t have to tear everything down and start over again and again. As soon as the outer shell is in place, you slowly work your way inwards so that the decoration and the inner workings form the crowning glory.
