Though it's looking a little sparse right now, this Sons of the Forest blueprints list will eventually include every available crafting recipe you'll come across in the game. As a multiplayer sandbox survivor horror experience, you'll need to learn to craft structures, items, and supplies to make it through.
Down below, we'll make an effort to list out the blueprints you'll find in your time with the game. You can see a lot in-game from the start, but with plenty of the best crafts being hidden throughout the world, we'll list out where to find the crafting recipes you don't start with, too.
For more, check out our Sons of the Forest guides hub. We've already included things like how to get the rebreather and how to farm bones. They're speculative right now, but if the first game is anything to go by, you'll need both.
