The gate in Sons Of The Forest is a necessary building that will make it easier to use the defensive wall. The lodging for the night will be protected from the natives by a fence, and the companions Kelvin and Virginia will be able to pass through the wooden gate without any problems.
Below is a detailed guide to improving the defensive wall: how to build a gate in the fence in Sons Of The Forest, close the passage to the natives and open it to companions.
How to build a gate in Sons Of The Forest
To make a gate, first create a protective wall – place 5 logs vertically. You need to install them smooth, with which the dotted line will help. It arises from the circle when you bring the log to the next one.
Next, take the sixth log and aim at the wall – the game will offer two options for strengthening diagonally, which can be changed by clicking the right mouse button. The lower part of the installed log is adjacent to the “loops”, on which it depends where the future gates will open – to the right or to the left. They always open “from themselves”, the final log is fixed on the inside of the fence.
After you strengthen the structure diagonally, you can make a palisade. To do this, point the ax at the top of the fence, a red dotted line will appear in the shape of a triangle – hit it. This completes the construction of the gate.
The last stage is optional – a gate with a palisade looks more spectacular, but functions perfectly without it.
How to close the gate from the natives
It is impossible to close the gate with a padlock – such a function is not yet provided in the game. The natives still can’t interact with them, so they won’t open them. However, they solve the problem with their own methods – they climb over, ram or break with batons. This can happen not only with the gate, but also with any defensive fence.
In order to avoid unauthorized entry, we recommend installing a small palisade around the perimeter. If the natives try to pass through it, they will lose limbs and even life. The only disadvantage of the building is that it will have to be periodically restored, because the palisade is not eternal and breaks.
To make a shallow picket fence, pick up a stick and place it vertically anywhere in front of the fence. Do this several times, stick the sticks next to each other and in several rows.
Then pick up the stones and overlay them with sticks. In this way, secure the structure so that the protection does not fall after the first collision with the natives.
Next, arm yourself with an ax and aim it at a stick – a dotted arrow should appear indicating the direction of the palisade. Hit it to bend the stick at 45 degrees and carve a spear out of it.
Repeat the steps several times to make the design strong and inspiring – you can’t escape from the natives with a couple of spears in the ground, you need at least 20-30 pieces.
How to open the gates for Kelvin and Virginia
Kelvin and Virginia are currently unable to interact with the gate. If they are closed, and there is a solid fence around the base, then the companions will not get inside and have every chance of getting stuck, running away, or even dying from attacking enemies.
You can open the gates for everyone, but then the natives will also pass. It is better to make a small hole in the fence. Install a platform in it, and a small palisade on top. Then the companions will jump over the fence and get inside, and the natives will still crash into the spears and die.
