How to craft a Standing Torch in Sons of the Forest
Sons of the Forest Crafting Book can help you make almost everything. From shelters to Lookout Towers, it features recipes for many structures. There are two ways how it works. It will either provide a complete outline for a structure, and you just have to place the items into it. Or, it will tell you the items required to make something, and you must figure out how to place them together yourself. As for the Standing Torch, it belongs to the latter group.
If you open your Crafting Book and look at the recipe for Standing Fire, you’ll notice that it says you need a stick, cloth, and Lighter for it. Many players can get confused with this as they don’t know how to put them together. However, the process is pretty simple.
