Before you start a world in Lego Fortnite, consult our beginners guide, full of tips and tricks for getting started.<\/b>
\nFortnite now has its very own survival crafting game mode, Lego Fortnite. There\u2019s tons to do in the game, but knowing where to start can be hard.
Whether you\u2019re just trying to build a neat village or you want to take on big baddies, loading into the world for the first time can be massively overwhelming. A fresh new survival game can be hard to dip your toes into, but we got you covered.
Below, we list out a bunch of tips and tricks we wish we knew before starting Lego Fortnite and sprucing up our villages.Trees grow back, but big rocks don\u2019t
Lumber will be plentiful, but your methods of grabbing granite from bigger rocks will be limited. In our playthroughs, the large granite deposits never respawned, even though the trees around them did. With that in mind, plan accordingly!Adventure around with NPCs for more protection
As you add NPCs to your village, you can assign them to adventure alongside you. When given tools and weapons, the NPC will fight baddies for you and help you collect materials. The latter is helpful, especially when you\u2019re spelunking in caves.Plan your buildings carefully, because you can\u2019t move them
Unfortunately, you can\u2019t pick up and move buildings, machinery, furniture, or anything else you build. If you want to move stuff, you\u2019ll have to break it down and rebuild it. Not all hope is lost, as you do recoup the costs of the material when you break stuff down, but it is a pain in the butt.Placing foundations well is the key to creating cool structures
You\u2019ll learn this as you create building from blueprints, but the secret to building good structures is to be flexible with your foundations. Don\u2019t just place the biggest square foundation down and start building off of that. You need to add smaller slices of foundation around those bigger squares to fit walls, corners, and pillars in correctly to your builds.Always grab more than you need
As you build around, you\u2019ll need to constantly farm materials: wood, granite, marble, etc. It is annoying to go back and forth between caves and your village, so make sure to grab all that you can before you head back for your own ease.Don\u2019t process all of your materials
After your farm up tons of wood and the like, don\u2019t shove it all into processing machines (like a lumber mill or stone cutter). You will need the processed version of these materials, like the planks you get from wood, but you\u2019ll often still need the raw stuff, too, so don\u2019t get overzealous.Keep building more stuff
To level up your village, you\u2019ll need to keep building stuff. Improve upon the original shacks you placed down, build a nicely furnished house for your villagers, or just test your design skills by putting together a log mansion. By doing this, you\u2019ll level up your village in no time.Keep wood on you for impromptu stairs
You never know when you\u2019ll need to build a set of stairs to reach stuff in a pinch. There is nothing more horrific than going into a cave to farm some marble only to realize you can\u2019t reach it and you don\u2019t have anything to build stairs with. Oops! You only need two wood to build one set of stairs.<\/p>\n
