In Lego mode the only cave I can find has no knotwood trees and causes my character to freeze to death. I’ve tried eating snow berries and snow berry shakes but still get cold and die.

What do I do to survive in the cold? Is there more than one cave per map? I just want to harvest the underground trees to upgrade my village.

ive just been building firepits all over the caves and using that as my lighting/heat sources.

there's a lot of caves in my world. I just spent a day unlocking a bunch of the map so id have new places to go and marking when I've cleared out a cave or setup little campsites in there for resource grinding.

I havent had the opportunity to, but I believe they have knotwood trees in the desert area of the map. I just found it last night and kept getting killed by the heat/enemies.

I saw that fortnite devs posted (can't link it at the moment, sorry) that was a mistake and will be corrected later. Getting to gold 2 was not intended for the quest, and let me tell you, not advised to try at this point. Tons of trolls and you can lose significant progress when you place low.

Yeah IDK what the deal is but all the "get x rank" quests are like that - you need to get to the rank, and then start another race or it doesn't count.

Anyway there's me at gold 1 without the gold 1 quest completed because I didn't start another race.

The grind from Gold1 to Gold2 is a total loving slog. I think it's like 15% for a 1st place, but anything lower is single-digit to zero.


E: Oh, and the physics for all of the tubes in the later maps is absolute garbage. It's too easy for the camera to flip and you to hairpin into a 180 where you shoot backwards for several seconds trying to stop.

In Lego Fortnite, you can repair items by putting them into a chest and then punching said chest 3 times, breaking it. The items drop fully repaired. Enjoy it while it lasts!

we solved all these problems years ago.

i desperately need a way to expand personal storage in Lego mode. having to schlep a body full of knotwood back and forth after spending time clearing out a cave is crazy.

It's particularly frustrating that you can't use items out of your backpack. I've been playing Conan Exiles again and it's great being able to right click anything to eat it or use it if it's in your bag but it sucks in this having to slot food to eat it to put it away again and get the tools out I need.

Yep. Lot of small annoyances in this mode that should have been ironed out with more time and playtesting. Still quite enjoying it though.

Yeah it's a great platform to improve upon; the game already feels better than most indie survival games out there. I'm probably done with it for now but am really interested to see how they improve it over time.

Wait until we get the Cluster Collector augment that grants two clingers and then grants additional clingers on eliminations. Going to be pure madness.

The augments are showing up in the main lobby under Quest > Collections > Augments, hopefully they get added soon.

There's definitely some weird client/server input desync happening with it. You can mash jump and dodge at the start of rounds, which does nothing on your screen but other players will see and be hit by the collision of it. I've had a few races start with other players just far out in front of the starting line, too.

Occasionally when I finish a race I'll get a result for say, 2nd, and then the desync seems to correct itself before the results screen and actually place me in 3rd. It's weird.

The collision is all hosed up. I can PIT maneuver people and it does jack poo poo and then a couple mins later a mild side-grazing between two cars causes one of us to grind to a halt and the other to jet off into the horizon. Either turn car collision off or do the Mario Kart 8 thing where jostling gives both players a little boost imo

I occasionally see cars just disappear when there's a poo poo ton all bunched up in a turn. Figured it was desync.

You can build buildings brick by brick. It's under the other category.

You don't have access to all the bricks. Seems like something of a performance thing in any case, since if you have too many pieces in a given range it won't let you build any more because it's too complex.

Dog controls your destiny.

drat it really fucks with my head that Triangle isn’t the middle lane button in the Rock Band mode (expert difficulty w 5 buttons). I think the control scheme is too unintuitive to not have clearer indicators of which button does which lane. Like some colors or some DDR type symbols or something.

the buttons from left to right correspond with the lanes from left to right..? triangle being the middle sounds way more unintuitive

Seymour Buttz
Apr 26, 2006

Dog controls your destiny.

Depends on your brain. My brain feels weird about the “RIGHT” button being the second-most LEFT lane and the top MIDDLE face button (triangle) being the second-most RIGHT lane and SQUARE (the LEFT face button) being the MIDDLE lane. If the buttons were all in a straight line and not on a D-pad and a diamond formation then sure it would make perfect sense to me but it doesn’t feel quite right.

Edit; honestly if there was just a small gap between the two d-pad lanes and the face button lanes I’d be good to go I think. Then I’d be able to wrap my head around what’s controlling what. Or if the d-pad lane notes were arrows instead of identical lines. It’s absolutely something I’ll just get used to it just doesn’t feel as intuitive as Guitar Hero or Rock Band where the lanes matches the buttons perfectly.

Pick axes specifically do massive damage to structures
