The Rugged Cross is a crude wooden cross made from sticks and bindings. The in-game tooltip calls it a wooden cross to mark a grave.

It sits in the Miscellaneous part of the Building menu and comes in a single version. It gives a little Carpentry XP and is open to any builder. It is the simplest grave marker in the game. Survivors use it to mark where a friend or a fallen companion lies. It can also mark a spot worth finding again. The Wood Cross is the plank and nail version, and the Stone Cairn uses stones.

How to Build Rugged Cross


The recipe is known from the start. Any builder can make it at any skill level. It gives 1 Carpentry XP.

It takes one Tree Branch or Wooden Rod and one Long Stick or Sapling. One length of binding ties them together. Rag, Twine, Rope or Sheet Rope all work as binding.

Branches and sticks are easy to gather in the woods. The whole cross is made from those and a binding.

The Crude Wooden Cross recipe builds the Rugged Cross. It needs Carpentry level 0. Building it gives 1 Carpentry XP.

How to Use Rugged Cross


The cross stands where it is built. It marks a grave or any other place worth remembering.

Place it at the head of a dug grave. A row of crosses makes a small cemetery near a base.

Notes
