Basic Structure

**Basic structures** are the most earliest forms of building in ***The Forest***

# Gameplay

Walls can be snapped together on top of one another to create tiers or stories. Cannibals cannot jump two tiered walls. Wall snapping can be avoided by placing a blueprint and finishing it before placing another, rather than making all of the blueprints first and then building them.

They have very limited use since the introduction of Custom Building. It is most likely these structures will be removed in future updates due to their limitations.
