![]() ![]() Once you have a square structure, you'll be able to split logs in half to create planks for a roof. If you're making a roof, it's just the same as laying the flooring. When you're ready to put them down, the log will be split into two to create flooring. You can right-click to change the direction that these lay. With a log, go up to the square you've created with the support beams, and two arrows will appear. Repeat this process to make your foundation as big as you like, building each section into a square at a time to give it the proper support it needs. Continue doing this until you have a square. You'll need to repeat the process of chopping it down at the bottom, then you'll be able to lay a log down on top of the two supports. You'll see a white line and circle appear when it's in the correct position. Take another log, and line this up with the first support you placed. When you've placed a log down, aim at the bottom of it, and then you can chop away at it to create raised supports. You can choose to place logs either horizontally or vertically, but to create a raised floor, it has to be vertical. The first thing we'd recommend you do is build a raised floor rather than going straight for laying your foundations on the ground. This will dismantle structures piece by piece. ![]() If you're making your base and there's something you don't like, you made a mistake, or you just want to remove support beams that are no longer needed, press C. There are multiple of these around the island, and this will allow you to craft arrows, get tech armor, and even get hold of a sled. This means you can set traps and get hold of meat quickly.Īlso, consider placing your base close to facilities like a 3D printing station - or at least in a way where you can zipline to them quickly. Not only will this give you logs and sticks as you begin to expand your base, but these dense forest sections are home to lots of creatures. Having resources that are close by will save you a lot of time and effort, which is why we recommend being surrounded by trees. Resources to Consider When Building a Base ![]() Craft a drying rack and get those fish hung up before winter arrives, so you've got plenty to snack on. This means one place can be used to keep your hunger and thirst levels sorted while you get your base established. Get a log storage rack built straight away and ask Kelvin to fill it up for you.įinally, water is obviously essential, but even if you're using a 3D Printed Flask to hold on to some, being by a body of water also allows you to fish. Surround yourself with trees to give you enough resources to build your base - you're going to need lots of logs and sticks to make everything, so being close by saves time and effort. Avoid building a base too close to paths, so you have less chance of cannibals just wandering by. Besides the vantage point, which allows you to overlook cannibal camps or nearby resources, you can also use the Zipline Rope Gun and make traveling across the island much faster. You'll also want to find somewhere that's on higher ground. Once you've got to grips with the crafting elements, or you're familiar with The Forest, you may want to make your base elsewhere and much bigger than we've advised here. It's worth noting this guidance is aimed at beginners and those making their first base. Winter arrives by day 10, so you'll want to have stocked up plenty of food and resources by this point. Start with a small house that's got enough room to fit a bed in (to rest and save your game), and focus on getting storage crafted first. It allows us to zipline down to a fishing spot, and be close to underground caves and points of interest. We've marked a point on the map below where we established a base that worked well for us. It's best to start small with your base, then gradually expand it as the days rack up. ![]() When you've scouted a bit of the island, you'll then want to think about setting up your main camp. But once you hit the day 4 mark, you can be sure that the cannibals will start to sniff you out and visit you more often. This allows you enough time to explore the island and find some essential tools. Cannibals and mutants will tend to leave you alone during this period as long as you don't engage with them. In all honesty, this isn't so important in the first few days - you can get away with a tarp and sticks, tents, or small log cabins. If it's flat is going to be easier to build on, and space allows you to expand. When it comes to choosing a location for your main base, we'd recommend finding a flat surface in the forest with plenty of space around you.
