Lego Fortniteis the newest addition to the growing list of gamesFortniteadds to its already impressive roster. By combining the familiar building blocks with survival craft gameplay, this game has created a fresh take on the genre with a familiar and inviting atmosphere.
Although many aspects of gameplay are familiar to fans of survival games, many gameplay mechanics have hidden nuances that make it fun to test and discover. Although there is an incredible amount of exploration, it’s important to make sure your home base is ready for the adventure.
1Place It Near Multiple Biomes
As part of the progression for upgrading building materials and tools, you must venture into more dangerous biomes to hack away at various trees, rocks, and monsters. This can be frustrating when they are spread few and far between, requiring you to make quite a hike to reach one.
Even if it is just between two biomes, you should place your hub right on the border to quickly reach more diverse resources more efficiently. This can also give you unique terrain to build from rather than just a flat patch of ground.
2Protect Your Base
Especially early on, your low-level bases can be the target for monsters during the night, which can spawn alarmingly close to your hub. If you aren’t careful, they can swarm your base and do some damage and even knock out a villager or even you.
The simplest way to avoid this is to surround your base with one of the many walls and gates in the auto builder or make it even safer with creative building. By raising your base on tall foundations or by making it only accessible via balloon, you won’t have to worry about constantly defending yourself at night.
3Customize Your Auto Build Blueprints
One of the most convenient ways to upgrade your village hub and provide space for followers and stations is byusing building blueprints. Although it might require additional resources, it will save you from frustratingly nudging every block into the right place.
However, you aren’t restricted to the final build after you complete all the steps. you may upgrade builds like shacks and log cabins by removing walls and floors or creating additional doors and windows. You can also combine multiple blueprints into megastructures with enough tweaking.
4Plan Your Building Layouts
Especially if you plan to surround your base with walls and don’t want to keep breaking them down and expanding, you should organize where each of your buildings will go and in what direction you will expand. This is especially important for storage and stations, as they will continuously grow.
To save on materials and time, you should also consider how to use the area surrounding your hub efficiently and how you may maneuver it without bouncing into every structure on your way to the workbench.
5Trap Animals In Your Base
Unlike most survival craft games, Lego Fortnite does not have an efficient way for you totame and trap friendly creaturessuch as cows and chickens. These mobs are important if you want a steady source of fertilizer, eggs, and milk.
All animals can eat either raspberries or pumpkins when taming.
To do so successfully, leave a breadcrumb trail of food on the ground leading into a fenced-off area, where you may place the final piece and trap it. While this can be a frustrating process, it will save you time in the long run instead of chasing them across the map.
6Focus On Upgrading Your Village Hub
While you might be eager to get your base looking as grand as you envision, the largest hurdle you’ll need to cross isthe village hub. Until you get it to the final level, you won’t get access to the best building plans and decorative pieces.
The village hub also allows you to recruit more villagers who you may set to work harvesting rare resources or managing farm plots, which saves you from having to do everything yourself and allows you to focus on more important jobs.
7Make Multiple Camps
Although you can technically stay in one camp for your entire playthrough, making multiple camps can allow you to recruit more villagers than normal and harvest twice as many resources. You can also use these as waypoints to restock near points of interest that are far away from the main base.
You cannot place village squares too close to each other or near landmarks.
You also don’t have to commit to these other camps nearly as much as your main base, so they only have enough to allow you to make new tools at a workbench or hire a villager to follow you. There is no penalty for making as many village hubs as you need.
8Enlist A Follower
One of the best jobs to give to a villager, especially if you are playing on a solo server, is to recruit one as a follower. While this is extremely useful as a combat tool, it will make everything you do much easier as long as they are following close by.
Given that they have the right tools, they will help you harvest materials and greatly reduce the time it takes to finish buildings. They will also attack enemies for you and won’t make you stop chopping to kill the fifth skeleton that sees you from a mile away.
