Finding the best Sons of the Forest base locations is essential to your survival, and should encompass both your ability to defend from attack, and your access to sustenance. After your first day or two in the cannibal-infested hellscape, you want to consider building a sturdy, permanent place of residence, and its location can make or break its practicality.

As we discuss in our Sons of the Forest review, the longer you survive in Endnight’s horror game, the worse the horrors become, and more dangerous Sons of the Forests mutants will start appearing around you. As such, you can’t stay in a tarp tent forever and will need to utilise Sons of the Forest building mechanics to put some stronger wooden walls around you. Here are some things to consider when looking for the best base locations in Sons of the Forest.
