After a year of rumor and innuendo, Lego Fortnite has arrived and injected a major dose of survival-crafting into Fortnite. As is the case with all games like this, there's a meaningful learning curve involved in getting started. Yes, there's a tutorial, but it's also an open-world sandbox game in which it's very easy to get distracted by some new thing and lose track of what you were supposed to be doing.
While questions like «where do I get wooden planks?» and other specific questions about where to find resources will come up after you've been playing for a while, the struggle in the really early goings is just in understanding Lego Fortnite's fundamental logic. In other words: How does this thing work? Every game has its own unique answers to that question, and it usually requires spending time with it to figure them out.
To help myself find the many answers to that question, I've been making some observations over the course of starting about a half-dozen different worlds with lots of different settings configurations. And now I'll share these sort of low-level observations with the rest of you. Use what I've discovered as your own Lego Fortnite tips as you embark on your adventures with bricks and minifigs.
When you create a world, it defaults to survival mode with all options turned on. And, well, that's actually kinda hardcore if you're not playing with a group. If you've been playing this kind of game for a long time already you'll probably be just fine because all that stuff is probably part of the reason you're here.
That said, there's no penalty whatsoever to making it easier when you're setting up your world. Skipping out on the temperature or hunger aspects, for example, can streamline the experience in a big way, or if you're just in if for the vibes you can make it so players are unable to die. The game will not penalize you in any way for doing this, and there are no bonuses for doing things the hard way. You are free to tailor the experience however is most comfortable to you.
Just keep in mind that if you turn creatures off it could mess with your progression since you'll be missing crafting ingredients, and you can't change your world settings after you've created it. Honestly, though, that's just another reason to err on the side of less potential frustration.
Lego Fortnite supplies you with about 30k in battle pass XP for every 15 minutes you spend playing it, and while there's a daily cap on how much you can earn, that passive XP makes Lego Fortnite the premiere destination for AFK battle pass progression because it doesn't require any prep work at all, and you don't have to click on items all over the place like folks love making you do on Creative maps.
