Blueprint Locations - Sons of the Forest Guide - IGN (2024)

Blueprints are available in Sons of the Forest to expand your crafting abilities, including making items that are essential for the main story. This guide covers all available blueprints in the game, with maps to help you identify where they are, and overviews of how to find them in each cave. The information on this page includes all blueprint locations up to and including the 1.0 release.

All Blueprint Locations

There are 16 blueprints in total to collect. Obtaining them all will reward you with theInterior Designer achievement.

We've marked the locations for all the blueprints on the map above, but don't forget to check out our interactive map to pinpoint their exact positions. Click on the names of each blueprint below to jump to their section in this guide. You'll find an overview of how to find each blueprint, as well as their crafting recipes, and what they look like when built.

Item Plating Blueprint

The Item Plating Blueprint can be found on the northeast of the island, in the same cave as the Pickaxe. It sits north of a small circular lake and just northeast of the snowy part of the mountain. The entrance is, unlike some other caves, trickier to find, as it's just a hole in the ground in the center of some rocks.

After a short swim at the start of the cave, you'll need to climb some rocks and then crouch to get underneath them. There will be boards here that need to be destroyed, allowing you to enter the next room with skeletons and a blueprint by one of them

Powered Cross Blueprint

The Powered Cross Blueprint can be found in Cave A or the Rebreather Cave. When you come to the first fork in this cave, go right. You'll then come to a second fork, where you should go left. You'll find a small alcove that you'll need to crouch under, with crosses hanging from the top of it. Go through here, past the body parts and skeletons. Once again the cave seems to split, but right is another dead end, so go left.

Check by the skeletons to find a Blueprint of a cross just underneath them, before you continue onwards. You'll come to another breakable box on the right, and more boards blocking an entrance. Smash these to be able to continue.

Gore Chair Blueprint

The Gore Chair Blueprint can be found on the southeast of the island. Head along the shore in the east, and go up a slope toward the greenery (heading west) to find another abandoned village when you're directly east of the large body of water on the southeast side of the island. Go inside the cabin with the two chairs outside, to find the blueprint on the floor.

Gore Couch Blueprint

Head for the snowy mountains in the center of the map, where you'll find a body of water. Stay on the western side of the lake and follow it until you reach an abandoned cabin with a cross hanging down by the door. Inside, you'll find the blueprint by the frozen skeleton on the floor.

Multi Trap Blueprint

Head to the southwest of the island, and about halfway between the blue question mark and orange marker. Zoom into your map and look for the little circles that appear. In the middle of these, there is a field and a rock formation that leads to a cave, as shown in the picture above. Head inside the cave and climb down the rope. You'll be in a flooded cave. Head through the central door that's already open -- you'll be able to spot some rope on the table from outside. Next to that rope, you can find the blueprint.

Spin Trap Blueprint

You'll find an abandoned village about halfway between Cave G and Cave F. It's on the eastern side of the island, and you'll find the blueprint on a table inside one of the cabins.

Grind Trap Blueprint

This is located in Cave G, near the abandoned fishing villages. Go through the building and head down to the bottom of the cave. You'll find an Artifact piece in the hands of the golden skeletons to the right and over to the left, there's a waterfall. Behind it, you can find the blueprint.

Spear Thrower Blueprint

Head for the southern part of the snowy mountain to find another ice cave tucked away. Head to the back and the bottom of the cave to find a skeleton pierced by a spear and the blueprint next to it.

Spotlight Blueprint

The Spotlight Blueprint can be found on the southeast of the island. The place you want to go to will appear as a blue question mark on the map when you get close to it. You'll find a soldier waving a bright red flare signaling for help as you get close. Enter the cave to the left, behind the soldier, and then use the rope to climb down.

At the bottom, there are two doors barricaded by boards. Break the ones on the left, then turn left again and break through these. Follow the path to the bottom of the cave, climbing down ropes to reach the very bottom. You'll find the blueprint at the bottom, on a blueish crate.

Clock Blueprint

Head for the snowy mountains in the center of the map, but stay on the eastern side of the mountain. You'll find a body of water, and to the northeast, there's an ice cave you can go into. Go inside the cave and to what looks like a dead end, to find a skeleton with a note and a rope that will take you further down. Climb down two ropes to reach the bottom, where the blueprint is next to a skeleton.

Leg Lamp Blueprint

On the eastern side of the island, follow the lake that flows from the mountain into the ocean. Along the way, a blue question mark will appear on the map. As you go here, you should see a bright red flare from a soldier signaling for help. Nearby, there's an abandoned shack. Break the boards on the floor inside here to reveal a path down to a mine. Head down to the bottom, then turn right to find the blueprint on a table with a skeleton sitting at it.

Teleporter Blueprint

Head to the southwest of the island and southwest of the snowy mountain. You'll come to an abandoned camp, with a hole down in the middle down into a cave. Drop down and then take the path on the right to find a skeleton with the blueprint. This is also the same camp where you can collect the Night Vision Goggles.

Solafite Generator Blueprint

Head to the western side of the map and along the beach to find a cave with large rocks and fencing around it. Go inside the cave and to the back to pick up the blueprint from an altar at the back with multiple skulls.

Bone Tower Repeller Blueprint

The Bone Tower Repeller Blueprint can be found on the southeast of the island and directly east of the large body of water in this area. You'll be able to find the spot by looking for the orange marker as you get closer. You'll find two worker's bodies outside, with a GPS Locator. Beak through the boards, then head to the back of the cave to find the blueprint on a blue drum with a skull on top.

Armor Upgrade Blueprint

You'll get this from the Luxury Bunker at the end of the game, when you approach the gold door to the Hell Cave. It's essential to use this to upgrade the Ancient Armor to Golden Armor to unlock the door to the Hell Cave.

Glider Launcher Blueprint

The Glider Launcher can be found in a small cave, that's shown on the map as an orange marker. You'll find two dead workers with a GPS tracker outside of it. Head to the back of the cave and you'll find the blueprint by some skeletons.
