Summary
Sons of the Forest adds many innovative features, including a fully custom building system that allows players to build their own structures. This massive improvement over the first game's prebuilt structures means the building has more potential than ever. Some players may want to continue creating from their dedicated server save locally. However, it's worth noting that mainly structure data will be retained when transferring saves.
