Sons of the Forest Blueprints: All 16 Locations & Uses

Game files, client build 539518 min read

The game has 16 blueprints, and each one unlocks exactly one build. 4 lie on the surface, one is in a bunker 87 m down. Take the surface ones first, then the Teleporter and the two shrines.

Five steps, shallowest first. Every blueprint has a pin on the blueprint map; the links below open that exact pin.

The 5 steps at a glance

A blueprint is a pickup. In the game files every one of these recipes starts locked, and each is tied to its own blueprint item.

Step 1: Take the four surface blueprints

Four blueprints lie at the ground or less than 7 m under it. They need no cave trip, so collect them whenever you cross that part of the island.

  • Gore Chair lies at the surface. It unlocks the Gore Chair: 6× Arm, 9× Stick, 2× Creepy Armor, 2× Leg, 1× Head, 1× Light Bulb, 1× Wire.
  • Gore Couch lies at the surface. It unlocks the Gore Couch: 40× Stick, 2× Leg, 4× Arm, 14× Creepy Armor.

Where Creepy Armor comes from

Creepy Armor drops from creepy mutants, not from crafting; the armor page has the details.

Step 2: Teleporter, both shrines, Multi-Trap and the glider launcher

These five lie between 14 m and 23 m down, shallower than the cave blueprints of the next step. The Teleporter and both shrines cost only stone, bone and skulls: no wire, no battery.

  • Teleporter lies 14 m below the surface. It unlocks the Teleporter: 33× Stone, 50× Bone, 8× Skull.
  • Repel Shrine lies 14 m below the surface. It unlocks the Repel Shrine: 7× Stone, 6× Skull, 49× Bone.

  • Attract Shrine lies 22 m below the surface. It unlocks the Attract Shrine: 10× Stone, 24× Bone, 11× Skull.
  • Multi-Trap lies 23 m below the surface. It unlocks the Multi-Trap: 3× Leaves, 6× Rock, 14× Stick, 1× Golf Cart Battery, 4× Wire, 2× Vodka Bottle, 2× Rope, 15× Bone, 2× Skull.

Shrine settings in the files

Both shrines read the same setting in the files: 180 minutes of attract time and a Solafite use interval of 60 minutes. These are the game's settings; the files do not say how a shrine plays out in a real session.

Step 3: Item Plating Machine, Grind Trap and Powered Cross

Each of these three sits inside a cave the map already names. Use the caves map for the entrance and the cave order for the route.

  • Item Plating Machine lies in the Pickaxe Cave, 35 m below the surface. It unlocks the Item Plating Machine: 7× Stone, 11× Stick, 3× Turtle Shell, 4× Golf Cart Battery, 2× Wire.
  • Grind Trap lies in the Artifact Cave, 51 m below the surface. It unlocks the Grind Trap: 65× Stick, 2× Stone, 2× Plank, 1× Knight V, 3× Wire, 1× Golf Cart Battery, 1× Skull.
  • Powered Cross lies in the Rebreather Cave, 67 m below the surface. It unlocks the Powered Cross: 1× Plank, 1× Half Plank, 2× Wire, 9× Light Bulb.

Check the pin first

Each pin sits where the game's scene file puts the pickup. Open it and look at its screenshot before you walk in.

Step 4: Spear Thrower, Clock and Spotlight

The last three are the deepest outside the bunker: 21 m to 54 m. The Spear Thrower and the Clock are in the two named grottos; the Spotlight is in the open-world scene 52 m down, so follow its pin.

  • Spear Thrower lies in the Mountainside Grotto, 21 m below the surface. It unlocks the Spear Thrower: 2× Half Log, 3× Half Plank, 8× Bone, 1× Golf Cart Battery, 3× C4 Brick, 2× Stick, 3× Wire, 5× Crafted Spear.
  • Clock lies in the Mountaintop Lake Grotto, 54 m below the surface. It unlocks the Clock: 22× Stick, 1× Golf Cart Battery, 1× Wire, 1× Quarter Log, 1× Bone, 2× Arm, 1× Watch.
  • Spotlight lies 52 m below the surface. It unlocks the Spotlight: 36× Stick, 1× Rope, 1× Tarp, 2× Light Bulb, 2× Wire.

Step 5: The Gold Armor Plater, last

The Gold Armor Plater is in the Luxury Bunker, 87 m below the surface and the deepest pickup of the sixteen. Its recipe takes 24× Stone, 33× Bone, 1× Skull, 4× Golf Cart Battery, 4× Wire. In the files the plater accepts one item only, the Ancient Armor, and lists 12 Solafite Ore. The blueprint's own drawing lists 25 stone; the recipe asset says 24, and 24 is what I print.

The whole route, with the keycards, is in the golden door guide, and the armor itself is on the armor page.

  • Gold Armor Plater lies in the Luxury Bunker, 87 m below the surface. It unlocks the Gold Armor Plater: 24× Stone, 33× Bone, 1× Skull, 4× Golf Cart Battery, 4× Wire.

Common mistakes

  • Treating blueprints as one filter. Each is a separate pickup with its own pin; the map page lists all 16.
  • Building the Gore Couch early. It takes 14 Creepy Armor.
  • Expecting a recipe to appear before the pickup. The files lock every one of these recipes until its blueprint is collected.
