Pick Axe & 1st ??? object location Sons of the Forest What Mystery Awaits
2Patch 12 - New cave, Pick axe, solafite mining, new buildables and more
Hey everyone,
This patch adds a new cave that contains a pick axe. The pick axe can be used to mine the Solafite mineral found in caves. This material can be used with one of the new buildable structures we’ve added.
We also added the second ??? item, implemented some more A.I. improvements including allowing cannibals to call out for help, and added more reactions and emotes to Virginia and Kelvin. Along with this there are a bunch of other fixes and improvements for the full list check below.
As always, please continue to post your bug reports and feedback in the Discussions area of the Community Hub.
