How to Make a Repair Tool in Sons of the Forest

To make a Repair Tool in Sons of the Forest, you’ll need three things: a Stick, a Rock, and some Rope. Thankfully, all of these resources are easily procurable in the early game.

For instance, cutting down Small Trees or Saplings with your weapon will yield Sticks, while Rocks can be found by poking the ground with a Stick or by walking along the shorelines of beaches. Rope, on the other hand, can be found mostly in caves or cannibal camps or on boats.

Once you have all of these ingredients, you can craft a Repair Tool by following these steps:

  • Press the I key to bring up your Inventory.
  • Hover your cursor over the Stick, Rock, and Rope and right-click on them. This will place them in the center of the mat.
  • Press the Cog icon on the top-right and combine them.
  • After a short animation, the Repair Tool will be crafted for you to use.
