The crafting feature is at the heart of Sons of the Forest, sandbox-style Endnight. Learning to craft is remarkably second nature in the survival game. Thanks to the wide variety of crafting recipes offered by the guide, you can prevent enemies from entering your cabin or fort. Just build a defensive wall, maybe even a spike wall, and they just won’t be able to get in. If you’re worried about being trapped inside your own building, there’s no need: Sons of the Forest lets you add a defensive wall gate to allow you and your allies to come and go as you please.

Building a defensive wall gate can be crucial in strengthening your base against potential threats. Here are the steps to build a defensive wall gate:
- Build a defensive wall with 5-7 logs.
- Keep adding logs until you have a solid wall that covers the area you want to protect.
- Hold a log in your hand and face the wall. You should see a diagonal white outline indicating where the door will be placed. The outline will be on the opposite side of the wall from where you are standing.
- Look at the white diagonal outline and click to build the door. You will see the log begin to form the door frame.
- Once you’ve built the door, you can open and close it to keep enemies at bay.
In short, the defensive wall gate will show up in your build book. If you are facing a log wall, you can place a log on the side of the defensive walls. Just approach this defensive wall and the log should appear as a diagonal location.
