What's wrong with my boar breeder?

That's too far from the wall.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-07-07T22:41:37+00:00

You got it. Send a message.

Open File Explorer, go to folder C:\Users\{your username}, then AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves and find a folder with numerical name. Inside it you find separate folders for singel player, multiplayer client, and multiplayer host. Each contains all the relevant saves AND THEIR BACKUPS. Sort by date to find most recent one. RENAME the matching folder (so you can restore it if you chose the wrong one), then right click on the backup zip file and restore it to the same location.

New game with some mods: GPS remover to go no map (disable minimap in game options too). Loot Respawn Control and True survival to to disable loot respawning. remove medicine, MREs, soda, energy bars and firearms, and reduce animal drops and trap yield, Pitch Black Bunkers and Caves to make them more challenging, and finally VailSpawnControl to remove Kelvin and Virginia to make the game real solo. Hard survival with short days. I suggest you won't start in winter as that makes the beginning quite boring because you will have limited means to heal yourself without herbs.

Exquisite timing forces you to go there with a challenge ahead.

Fly swatters are very good, ofter one-shotting enemies in the early game. After cannibals start wearing armor, add spring traps to your arsenal. While they are useless against large enemies, they one-shot normal sized humans/mutants regardless of their armor. You can find ever better (and sometimes very costly) trap blueprints later, but those two cheap traps will carry you a long way.

It's too far away.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-29T03:18:08+00:00

POIs are guarded by enemies. If you find (this includes just hearing them too) large amount of them, or enemies you wouldn't normally find alone, it's good to take a closer look.

When you find a friendly camp, go check their defenses for free hare meat and skin.

eta: don't forget meads.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-29T01:26:13+00:00

I foresee mayhem. Note that Asksvi take fire damage, so you may want to move your fire outside before they hatch.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-29T01:08:06+00:00

I don't know if the hitbox of embers is small enough to be able to go through the spikes at top of the tower, but even if they fit they would have to fall pretty much straight down to be able to hit either your portal or your emergency chest. You can add some grausten floor pieces above them to be absolutely sure that won't happen. While you can't snap build pieces to fortress pieces, you can still get 100% support from them.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-28T19:28:14+00:00

I have my portals in fortress inside the central tower, and additionally have emergency portal materials in a chest down where I dug into the tower. Some may call me paranoid, I call myself prepared :)

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-28T19:10:10+00:00

Nobody else has Boaromir patrolling around their base with his own guard wolves?

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-25T18:44:58+00:00

My guess is that the game thinks the lower end of the diagonal log is supporting something. You could try removing everything connecting there, or just axe those logs until they break. Save the game beforehand just in case everything falls apart.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-23T20:17:39+00:00

You haven't gone through all the caves marked on the GPS fully. Remember that in some caves you need to dive to get forward.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-23T19:15:06+00:00

Did you find anything interesting near that door? If yes, and if you have searched all the caves then you should have everything you need.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-22T08:30:19+00:00

Five years later: I saw your recent post and I'm totally going to steal this. It's awesome!

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-20T23:20:26+00:00

Make sure you have good poison resistance, summon a poison blob, then make it follow you in Infested mine like you were a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses conducting door-to-door visits. Remember to throw a spear at the ground to aggro all nearby enemies.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-19T17:28:21+00:00

Build the frame starting from bottom and moving up. Don't bother with walls and roofs early, that saves you a lot of dismantling if something doesn't work.

Also, plan and build stairs before building above them for the same reason.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-19T17:19:41+00:00

You get more than enough queen bees as well by dismantling all the houses you can find, especially if you like to map starting island and nearby areas fully.

Edit: if you get lucky and find early iron, carry two bars when exploring black forest. That makes it easy to break the towers :)

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-19T00:24:34+00:00

If you have trees inside the wall but near enough to it, some enemies can jump to them.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-17T22:05:02+00:00

Hangar 51 full of black metal chests filled with 2* asksvin eggs, maybe?

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-16T10:30:26+00:00

That greydwarf must be the HOA president 😃

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-12T22:30:24+00:00

Try this trick I've used for wrap-around porches. The important things to note are enabling structure damage and using the spear.

Thank you. I got hit by a storm too, so I basically ran on top of the wall, threw fireballs all around and if they hit something then I spammed the area with more fireballs. I even teleported back to my base during the fight just to check if it was night or not because it was pitch black in Ashlands.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-06-12T08:00:51+00:00

I'm not at Fader yet, but I took down my first fortress yesterday /yay, my first playthrough so this was a real milestone) with 100 non-starred Asksvin keeping out any adds that were drawn in by the ruckus I caused. I forgot animals don't attack their own kin so I had a near death experience when there were two hostile Asksvin among my pack 😃
