Simply collecting items or, rather, materials in Sons of the Forest will not be of much use, they should also be combined. This will allow you to get weapons, armor or other useful items that will help you survive many more nights. So, without further ado, here is a quick guide on how to craft items in Sons of the Forest and where to find materials for them.
How to create by combining items in Sons of the Forest
In order to create or combine items in this game, you need to use your inventory. The process is very simple, but you also need to unlock the recipe for the item you want to get before you can combine different materials. Here’s what you need to do:
- Gather the various materials you plan to combine.
- Press the I key to open inventory.
- Add elements to the gray mat in the center by right-clicking them. For example, to make tech armor you will need:
- Tech Mesh x1
- PCB x1
- Batteries x1
- Wire x1
- Adhesive tape x1
- Finally, click on the gear icon in the top right corner to merge.
- Once the process is complete, you will receive a new item, in this case tech armor.
- Equip it by left-clicking on it to start using your newly crafted weapon or armor.
The above process also works if you plan on making items or weapons like spears, bows, or other things.
Where can I find materials to combine?
Depending on the item you want to craft, you will need to travel to different locations. Materials such as ink or batteries can be found in the 3D printer room. Some materials you will need for printing such as Tech Mesh. Materials such as logs or sticks can be found in different parts of the world. And for most of the other items, you’ll either need to explore caves or open any loot boxes you come across.
