Fade to Silence

After the first follower joins you you can assign them to build a hut. You can start the building process by opening the menu and clicking the compass symbol. This will take you to an overview of the refuge, you can use the right stick to scroll through the list of available buildings. Choose hut, and place it somewhere on the refuge map. building it will require pristine wood and some firewood.

After placing the building on the map walk over to it and press A. Then chose your follower and they will begin construction. Construction takes some time, and your follower may end up resting before the building is complete. If you get notifications that your follower is doing another activity before the hut is completed go back to the refuge and re-assign the follower to the construction project.
