Buildings

Players can access the building survival guide by pressing B. Long pressing X allows the player to switch between guide modes to access more blueprints. When the desired blueprint is selected, players can place the object in an appropriate area, which shows as a white, translucent version of the final item. If it appears red, there is either not enough room, or the area is not appropriate for the object.

Shelter

The additional height can also help when creating a zipline.

Tree Shelter 2

• Craft Requirement: 96 Logs

A prefab Tree Shelter measuring 2x2 logs, but the L shaped design renders the porch almost unusable. The additional space and security that comes with a treehouse makes this an ok first permanent shelter. The additional cost may be worth it if you want a completely enclosed structure off the ground. There is still room for a bed, a few shelves, and a fire.

Small Treehouse Platform

• Craft Requirement: 7 Logs, 1 Rope

This basic platform provides an expedient, safe location off the ground. A bed and fire can be placed for a quick campsite. The height and ease of resources make this structure a good option for zipline stops.

Wall Planter

Traps

Small Animal Trap

• Crafting requirements: 14 sticks

These traps are used to catch small animals like rabbits, squirrels, and any other small animal unfortunate enough to trigger the mechanism. It’s a fairly simple trap, with a Stick propping up the cage that will allow the trap to drop on the animal. This will cause it to fall on the target, trapping them until the player resets the trap.

Fish Trap

• Crafting requirements: 25 sticks

The Fish Trap is similar to the Small Animal Trap in its simple construction and the type of meat that it brings in, providing a consistent source of meat for those who are willing to keep checking the traps. It can hold five fish at a time.

Bird Trap

While not technically a trap in the same way the others are, this small craftable structure works great in two different ways. It will spook any Cannibals that come near your base, and it will also work to attract birds who will land on the skull. This will provide the player with a great source of Feathers for Arrows and meat to keep you fed.

This structure is as simple to build as it appears, with a description of it being shown in the building book. Players will need to place a Stick on the ground vertically, with a Skull on the top. The three Rocks at the bottom are optional, but they will provide stability to the stick and keep it from being knocked over.

Bonemaker Trap

• Crafting requirements: 2 sticks, 3 leaves, 3 rocks, 1 vodka bottle, 1 rope

This is one of the blueprint traps that’s meant to fight against the larger prey on the island by doing exactly what the name says. When triggered, this trap will spring up and erupt fire from a port in the center, setting whatever runs through it on fire. After killing a Cannibal, this trap can continue to burn them until they’re reduced to a pile of Bones.

The Bonemaker requires a variety of basic ingredients like Sticks, Leaves, Rope, and Rocks. One of the harder-to-get crafting ingredients is Vodka Bottles, and you may or may not have spawned with some when you begin the game. You’ll find some throughout the rest of the game, but it’s not an actively available resource, so make sure you like where the trap is placed. Thankfully, you don’t need to refill the vodka with each use.

This is the only trap that poses a danger to the player who makes it as well, setting them on fire for a considerable period.

Fly Swatter Trap

• Crafting requirements: 10 sticks, 3 rocks, 1 rope

These traps fling upward, damaging enemies and knocking them back when they walk into them. If you place them around the main entry position of the Cannibals, it’s likely that you can stand behind them and unleash arrows on your enemies. They’ll need to be reset after each use like all the other traps, so make sure you’re planning your defenses carefully.

This is a simple big trap that can be used against the different cannibals or Mutants that might find their way to your base. This is a much more affordable trap compared to the Bonemaker, which will be much more strenuous on resources.

Spring Trap

• Crafting requirements: 7 sticks, 1 turtle shell, 2 wire

The spring trap is similar to the glider launcher, however much smaller and less powerful. It can launch enemies and players in the air, applying damage only to enemies and possibly even killing them.

Hokey Pokey Trap

• Crafting requirements: 6 logs, 3 rope, 10 sticks, 15 rocks

The hokey pokey trap is a large trap with a spiked ball swinging down at enemies. Like all other traps, it must be reset after use. It seems that cannibals may be able to use them as leverage to get over defensive walls, so they shouldn't be placed directly next to them.

Silent Alarm

• Crafting requirements: 13 sticks, 8 bones, 1 rock, 1 skull, 1 wire, 1 radio

The silent alarm is a trap that activates a radio once triggered, giving the player a heads-up when enemies are nearby.

Leaf Trap

• Crafting requirements: 20 leaves

The leaf trap can be manually set on fire with molotovs or fire arrows. The trap does not do anything on its own.

Explosive Tripwire

• Crafting requirements: 1 stick, 1 wire, 1 frag grenade

The explosive tripwire will detonate a frag grenade when the trap is triggered. The trap will disappear on use.

Molotov Tripwire

• Crafting requirements: 1 stick, 1 rope, 1 rock, 1 vodka bottle, 4 leaves

The molotov tripwire will cause the molotov cocktail to set off when triggered. The trap will disappear on use.
