The first thing you have to learn in Sons Of The Forest is how to build a tent. The tent allows you to save your progress. And in a survival game, you can easily lose all the weapons or items you have collected. Thus, playing without regular saves is a big no, unless you set yourself some kind of task. So here is a quick guide on how to make a tent in Sons of the Forest and how to use it.
How to make a tent in Sons of the Forest
You just need a tarp and a stick to make a tent in Sons of the Forest. While they may not seem very useful just because of their appearance, they are actually one of the most important structures in the game. Through them, you not only save your progress in the game. But they are also used to sleep. It will come in handy when you are tired and need a rest. The process of creating it is very simple:
- Press I on your keyboard to open inventory.
- In the upper right corner you will find a tarp.
- Left click and equip it.
- Now just place it anywhere on earth.
- Then take out the stick and use it on any corner of the tarp.
- This will make your main tent.
Depending on the amount of canvas or sticks you use, the shape of your tent will change. You can also refer to your instruction manual if you don’t know how to do it.
How to use the tent
As mentioned earlier, there are only two uses for a tent. To sleep and save the game. Standing next to him will give you two buttons to interact with. The one with the floppy disk icon is for saving the game, so press E. And the one with the moon icon, when you want to sleep, press Z for that.
