How Big Is the Map? Explained

The map in Sons of the Forest is four times larger than its predecessor, The Forest, and features a diverse range of buildings, items, and spawn points. It is set on a different landmass and offers a greater variety of environments, including forests, snowy mountains, hills, and coastal areas.

By comparison to other games, Sons of the Forest isn’t quite as big. Here’s how it stacks up:

• Avatar Frontiers of Pandora – 255km²
• ARK: Survival Ascended – 48km²
• Palworld – 16km²
• Kingdom Come: Deliverance 15.8km²
• Sons of the Forest – 9km²

That said, it’s packed full of content. The 1.0 version of Sons of the Forest introduces new mutants and creatures, an overhauled building system, dynamic weather, and more intelligent enemies. The map has five times as many tree types and more diverse vegetation as its predecessor, with detailed subterranean areas including caverns and bunkers. Changing seasons affect resource availability and enemy behavior, adding to the game’s complexity. A GPS feature on a mobile device improves navigation compared to the previous game.

Best Base Location

If you’re just starting out in the game and wondering where is best to build your first base, we’ve got the perfect spot for you.

The mini island located in a lake toward the northwest of the island stands out as our favorite base location in Sons of the Forest. Initially covered in vegetation and containing a few lootable coffins, the site offers lots of space for a large base once cleared.

This location’s primary advantage is its natural defense against attacks. Mutants, unable to swim or survive in water, pose no threat to an island base—except during winter when the lake freezes, necessitating fortifications.

Transporting materials for construction might seem challenging, but the game provides ingenious solutions. Logs thrown into water will float toward their target, and the process is significantly simplified with the Rope Gun. This tool not only facilitates quick player transport but can also be used to zip logs directly to the base, especially useful when combined with a log stash for collection.

For efficient base construction, the best option is to use Kelvin for continuous material and tree gathering on the mainland, allowing for a focus on building in the safety of the island. This location’s strategic proximity to various resources, points of interest, and abundant food sources, including fish, deer, and squirrels, makes it an ideal choice for base setup.
