Introduction

Before starting the building process, it pays off to know a few things:

1. To build a tree shelter, select the appropriate blueprint from the Book by clicking the left button on its icon, then place it on the chosen tree. For more on building using blueprints, see the page Building and Planning.
2. Although mutants can't climb ropes, some enemies can knock down a tree on which your hideout is. This means the tree shelter doesn't provide 100% protection against mutated enemies.
3. Like in the case of other constructions built using blueprints, you don't have to cut the logs manually. The game will do it for you automatically after adding the materials in the right place.
