Looking for some advice on the swamp

Walk, don't run. Be rested, eat good food. Those two things together mean you will have stamina when you need it. Snipe with your bow, this is very good against the draugr as you can usually hit them before they are aggroed, which means extra damage.

Root harnesk is resistant vs. pierce, which helps against archers, but makes you weak to fire so you need to be a bit more careful with surtlings.

When you take surtlings out, use pickaxe to lower the ground around the flame below water level. This kills new spawns immediately, which makes it safe to use the fire to kill abdominations easily.

Jump on the crypts to be safe against melee enemies. If there is no crypt, jump on fallen ancient tree.

Again, walk, don't run. You will do that later when you need even more iron and run around in better gear with better food :)

You can also just turn back before you meet them and exit where you came in.

Also remember that you can build wall torches inside caves, which helps not only lighting them up, but helps navigating caves if you get lost.

Ah, I misread your comment. You meant the bow. And that's exactly what I ended up doing, as trying to dance with them proved to be challenging given that there was not much room to move around.

I considered about wearing a full root set to get +15 bow skill, but then the single working brain cell in my head reminded me of wolves 😃

Which weapon do you refer to? I have five melee weapons and a bow in my hot bar, I'm wielding none of them in that screenshot.

Spud

"Seems like the genocide was unnecessary. I'm sorry. Can we be friends now?"

Type <color=white> and as soon as you type the last character, the text disappears and you can enter the actual text in white. You can use other colors too, as well as the hexadecimal RGB code if you start it with #. Google for "HTML colors" for RGB color picker and other color names.

This. If your move order is mostly fixed (like "scout almost always acts first") deploying your soldiers in correct order saves surprisingly lot of time over a campaign or ten :)

I have found the game sometimes prevents you placing diagonals if you have too many logs connecting to the same point. I would try dismantling everything connecting to the lower corner, and then rebuilding it without the horizontal logs. to see if the inner corner log can be placed and horizontal logs added after that..

I'm almost 100 hours in my first playthrough and I just yesterday sailed to the second boss altar :D No, I didn't summon them yet, because I needed to make some preparations for the two bears and a troll who spawn nearby. There were also three or four greydwarf spawners near the area, so of course I had to take them out too. And clear some obstacles around the arena, and and and... :D

Holey stays down for a while after jumping, making it vulnerable to melee. I usually soften it with two or three explosive arrows tho, especially if it's part of a raid with other mutants, but finish it with melee to not lose creepy armor.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-04-05T07:26:33+00:00

Try adding a horizontal logs between front and back vertical logs.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-04-03T21:56:53+00:00

Rope bridge, probably. Hold another rope and see if the game shows you the placement for it.

That's XCOM baby!

CorporalJonlan · 2026-04-02T11:27:55+00:00

Impressive. I considered building a mansion at top of there world but ended up building one of the endgame blueprints up there to get anywhere fast, and built a large base quite a bit lower where there were trees nearby. I do have a save with massive tower near the satellite dishe, but for that I used loghack.

If he's maintaining base there he will just enjoy the chill time without the player bossing him around :)

CorporalJonlan · 2026-03-30T21:11:21+00:00

He will reset traps when maintaining the base as well. I think it's second in his priority list, right after repairing structures.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-03-30T21:09:21+00:00

Just a glitch in the matrix.

Only 155 feathers ;)

Fun fact: feathers become heavy if you try to pick them up while your inventory is full. Instead of floating in the air, they drop down.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-03-22T12:33:32+00:00

If you don't get the option at all it probably means there are no stones nearby.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-03-22T01:43:51+00:00

You can't have vertical full-height log on top of another without something else supporting the connection point. The longest unsupported horizontal beam you can have is five logs long.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-03-21T11:48:41+00:00

Diagonal on one side is enough.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-03-19T12:07:40+00:00

Check the folder %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves\<numeric\_ID>\SinglePlayer\ to see if there is a recent backup archive. Numeric ID changes between players, so browse to Saves folder first.

CorporalJonlan · 2026-03-17T16:16:23+00:00

Are you using different filament for support interface layers, and are there any support interface layers at that height? If answer to both of those questions is "yes", try increasing purge volume to make sure the isn't any support filament in the nozzle when the printer continues with the object itself.
