wall building like the original game?

[Neil]

Im trying to figure out how to build a wall around my camp. In the Forest you could 'pre make it' then find the wood. in sons of the forest I cant seem to do that other than put one log in at a time. am i missing something?

I believe that is how it is in this one. Not 100% sure but that's how I've been building too...

No you're not missing anything. For some reason the devs decided that "free form" building was the way they wanted to go now. The old system is no longer in the game for walls and such, which why? I don't really know.

Having both systems would allow you to blueprint walls that Kelvin (and maybe others if they get added) could help you build. It also tests the limitations to see what can go where, I spent my time building a wall just to find out I couldn't fill a large opening

From the Q+A of developers, it sounds something like this may be added in future.

I just can't trust them anymore. As much as I want them to be honest. They've completely shafted us.

If you spend more time building, you won't notice how empty the map is despite being massive.

Found houses in my time exploring, a set of two houses and they were empty, as if incomplete lol. They have shafted us real good this time around.

As much as I would love to build, the cannibal spawns just completely ruined it for me. They spawn in your base and there's nothing to do about it

exactly this. Blueprint your structures so others can see what your planning. Much better system. really annoyed they have taken this out. one log at a time really is not fun

[KALEM]

So making walls is useless

[Ravenmount]

Yes, you must place one log at a time. Using the "snap" point when placing makes it go a little faster and keeps them in a straight line or at a right angle to a line of logs. Tell Kelvin to sharpen the ones you've already placed to save more time. Sometimes, crouching helps to see the white, dashed placement circle. Placing logs on snow is maddening since the placement circle can be invisible. Wish they had an option for changing the color of the dashed placement lines as they did in The Forest.
