Just an FYI, you can place the sticks in the ground and then place rocks around it, and THEN chop it down. It makes it good for building and not knocking over the sticks while building. Also, I typically put spikes behind my wall and knock them thru so when enemies attack the wall they get hurt.

@steampunknord Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip that they work when placed behind.

@thomascook7146 Жыл бұрын

Just be cautious when putting the sticks behind the wall and making the spikes; sometimes a cannibal could clip through your wall because the spike is behind your wall, therefore the enemy is technically getting attacked behind the wall, thus they can maybe clip through the barrier

Hello everyone, it is a nice defense but if you don't want to spend too many hours with it and want 100% defense just find a bay and after the stream mouth where the open water begins but the water is still low build your base on piles. That's it. All enemies are considering it as the sea so they are unable to attack it. They will stop on the shore and watch your base. Water and food is also provided by the stream one short zipline is enough to jump there. 🙂

Hi, Brilliant video on Defence for Sons of the Forest…..I like what you said when you said you are waiting for Cannibals to attack which they don’t seem to like it…..Hmm I wonder why, I think they sneakily did a recon wondering how they can get into your well defended base!😂 Thanks for sharing 😊

@tearharvester Жыл бұрын

I built my base in a super hostile area and so far the best thing iv come up with is to have a opening in the wall with alternating spike traps . so say that cool porque pine thing you built , then a gap then another spike block , then next layer alternate the gaps , do at least 3 layers , 5 preferably . mix traps in the "open" gaps . if the whole base is walled off ( in my case is have a box wall around my base ) with a missing section for the traps , as soon as anything trigers on me it trys to path through the traps insted of busting down the wall , this kills it 98 % of the time . I only use zip lines to get in and out of the base Also this is by far the best system iv found for dealing with the long string rolling blob thing . That bugger cheats and glitches right through walls and wall spike miss him offten for some reason , so if you just run around your traps opeining he rolls around and kills himself .

@shamrock3957 Жыл бұрын

Nothing says fear me like a bloody head on a spike. I use a multi-tiered defense around my base. Got a defensive wall around my base, then a line of stick fences with spikes, then a line of traps, another line of stick fences and spikes and finally about a hundred severed heads at the edge of the forest. Haven't had much of an issue in a while, other than having to build a ton of bone holders lol.

@__-tp4tm 6 ай бұрын

That's a lot. In my friend group, I'm the main defensive builder. I assure you, we can put camp up absolutely everywhere. Simple approach, ball off in however big a wall you need to be fully inclosed in, leave a hole in said wall, extend the entrance in length and place all kinds of traps in there. 2 rows of bonemaker and stoneclap, 2-4 spin traps and no amount of enemies on hard difficulty ever touch us. Most the time we look over and realize another group got demolished. And yup, 3-4 spin traps will make even Double's unable to rush through. I love this game lul

You could also just walk knee-deep in the ocean and just build there. No need for defensive walls or spikes because you are the only one that can go into the salt water. Virginia and Kelvin will NOT go in the saltwater either so they are not as safe. I have a nice base in the bay with the radio on the south shore and no zombie has ever tried to get to it.

Have real trouble placing sticks for a defensive wall. My problem is the 'fence' markers, I just want the circle to place the stick not the dotted line forcing you to place a stick where you don't want it. Is there a way to switch off the 'fence' option? Thanks

Or you can just skip the wall bit and only have ramps with hedgehogs on them. I've done this in my base and it regularly murders everything that tries to attack it. I sometimes come out after hearing a bunch of noises to find that 8-10 mutants have killed themselves against my wall of spikes.

Why no love for the stick fence. You can build it higher than the logs by stacking the sticks. You can then layer the spikes at each stick level. So mine has 3 layers of spikes. Bottom middle and top. You can reinforce it with stones, at each level. So for example your top stick layer also has stones. And finally, the number one best part. You can shoot through it. Nobody ever gets through it.

Do the Cannibals attack you when you build on these 2 islands at the south-eastern side of the map? The place looks pretty isolated by huge cliffs and the ocean but the enemies usually spawn on your location. But its weird they do not go or “spawn” on you when you are high in the mountains. I wonder if the same thing goes for this island you are building on.

Oh? You built /there/ on the island? I uh... kinda fortified the entire island by bottlenecking the land bridge haha. Turns out, they don't spawn behind you on the island, they only come from the beach in front of the land bridge. Made a sweet defensive wall with a rampart and two towers with an overhang, machicolations, and a zipline that goes up the mountain on the other side for an easy hangglider location to bring you anywhere on the island. And now, since cannibals dont spawn on the island itself, I'm gonna populate it with a little town of cabins!

@Xhaleon Жыл бұрын

A multi layered wall of spikes placed on ramps IS usually overkill for most playthroughs and difficulty settings. Simply placing a single row of stick spikes behind a log stake wall is not perfect coverage but is good enough most of the time (cannibals and mutants really have no sense of self-preservation against spikes) and you can repair them from your side of the wall.

@@TotalXclipse It's one of the best looking defenses I've seen so far. I'm not sure the palisades are working as intended at this point. The spikes are the player's best deterrent at this time for sure. Some tweaking to the building function will go a long way in helping people create some nice builds. And maintain them. Stairs need to be one of the first things they address. They can be an unnecessary PITA.
