Talking about crashes, the last thing you want is for your game to crash if you haven’t saved your game. There’s nothing worse than losing hours of progress.
In this guide, we will show you how to save your game and where you can find your saves on your computer. Let’s jump in.
How To Save Game In Sons Of The Forest
When it comes to saving your game in Sons of the Forest, you will first have to reach a certain point in the game. You will have to build some form of shelter to unlock the save feature. Let’s take a look at how to build a simple shelter so you can unlock the save feature.
The easiest shelter to build is using a Stick and A Tarp to create a primitive tent. To create the tent you will need two items, a large tarp and a stick.
- Find the large tarp in the luggage which has washed ashore
- Get a stick by chopping down a thin tree using your axe
- To construct your tent start by equipping the tarp and laying it on the ground where you want your tent to be
- Next, equip a stick from your inventory and go up to a corner of the tarp. You will see a red arrow allowing you to interact with the tarp
- Your character will lift one of the corners up and construct the shelter. You can also use two sticks to lift up both corners of the tent.
- Once you have constructed the tent walk up to it and you will see a save icon. Interact with it to save your game. You will have to come here to save every so often.
When you build new and bigger shelters you will also be able to save your game there.
