Once you have a log in your hands, look at the ground for a circular outline with a couple of prompts. Press the LMB prompt to place a log on the ground successfully.

In addition to building vertical walls, you can construct horizontal walls in the Sons of the Forest. To do this, right-click to create a horizontal outline instead of placing a log on the ground. You can then use the Q or R buttons to rotate the outline. It is only after rotating the outline that you left-click to place the log.

To build a horizontal wall, place two more logs vertically at the edge of the horizontal log and stack the logs on top of it. You can also cut an opening in the wall to create a doorway.

Combining vertical and horizontal walls can help create a sturdy base to protect you from the man-eating mutants that roam freely. Experimenting with different wall configurations is important to find the best one for you.
