How to Build a Fire in Sons of the Forest

Starting a fire in Sons of the Forest is actually surprisingly simple.

First off, find a lighter. You should find a lighter pretty early on, on the beach where you start the game, so you should have it from the start

When you have a lighter, all you need to find is 1 stick. Hold the stick in one of your hands, look at the floor, and press Left Click. This will make your character snap the stick and leave it on the floor.

You can now start the fire right away by pressing the prompt when looking at the sticks. By default, this is the E key.

However, you might want to improve your fire. To do so, find some rocks.

While holding the rocks and looking at the sticks, you’ll see a circular highlight. Press Left Click to place the rock. Complete the circle around the sticks to make a reinforced bonfire.

Light up the sticks and you’re done! You can now cozy around the bonfire and cook meals.
