The building in this game feels very free, so it can definitely be a bit difficult to master, although you do get little building instructions in the game. It feels rewarding once you’re successful.
- Create a wall by stacking six logs horizontally
- Equip your ax and chop a center piece out of the bottom five logs (hold left button)
- You now have a frame to place a door inside so equip the two extra logs
- Bring the two logs to the door frame and you will notice a vertical line indication
- A prompt will allow you to left-click the records to split them
- Place the split logs in the driveway
You can also split the logs with your ax before placing them in the frame if you wish.

Can you close a door in Sons Of The Forest?
So if you have the door set right, you should be happy right? Well, that’s not the end of the story for many of us. A door without a lock may invite some unwanted guests. So it’s probably a good idea to rig a padlock to keep those cannibals off your property. Unfortunately, as of now, there is no way to close doors in Sons Of The Forest. We hope to see a feature like this in-game during early access.
A solution to this problem right now is to simply place something like a log or stick in front of the door to block everything out. Alternatively, some users in the Steam Community discussions have reported that a paper target can also do the job.
