In Sons of the Forest, you will be required to build all kinds of structures for your base. Enemies will come and attack at any time so your base needs to be reinforced.
Fortunately, the game tells you the materials needed and the steps required to build structures. It comes in your guide book.
Here’s a list of building recipes provided in the guide book in Sons of the Forest.
