What the numbers say
- The cheapest build is the Deer Hide Rug at 1 item; the most expensive is the Medium Log Cabin at 185 items.
- Together the 96 builds ask for 37 different materials. Stick appears in 62 of them, Plank in 23.
- Planks, half logs and quarter logs are separate items in the game's recipes, so they are listed as their own rows and not folded back into logs.

Where the costs come from
- Every cost is read from the game's own build recipes (the 99 StructureRecipe assets of the Sons of the Forest client, build 53951). Nothing is estimated.
- 1 relocation recipe and 2 no-snow copies of a recipe with the same cost are left out, which is why the list has 96 rows. Two walls and two glider launchers share a name but not a cost; they stay, marked with the word that tells them apart.
- A few recipes have no English name in the game's text tables; they carry their internal name in words and say so in the list.
- Log-wall houses you build piece by piece are not recipes and are not here: see the hand builds on the crafting page. Blueprint structures only appear in the Guide Book once found: blueprint locations.
