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.

Most used materials

  • Stick62 builds
  • Plank23 builds
  • Log16 builds
  • Rope16 builds
  • Wire16 builds
  • Bone11 builds
  • Half Plank11 builds
  • Skull11 builds

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.
