One crafty Lego Fortnite player has built an aesthetically pleasing castle on an island. Lego Fortnite is a new mode within the popular battle royale, which blends survival and crafting elements in a brick-based world. As with many survival games, it requires players to gather resources, craft tools, and take on a formidable roster of enemies to make some progress.

From huge pick-ups to pirate ships, there is no dearth of customizable contraptions in Lego Fortnite. The survival-crafting mode gives players free rein to make all sorts of things, including vehicles that provide an efficient way to get across the map. With a selection of recipes, Lego Fortnite players can manually build cars and zip from one biome to another. Moreover, they can use construction blocks, such as walls, foundations, and entryways, to establish functional bases that protect them from enemies.

One Lego Fortnite player known on Reddit as lespauljames has built a castle on a small island using a large amount of granite. This castle consists of various sections, including a dungeon, a courtyard, a bridge, and staircases. The player seems to have equipped their functional base with furniture and decorative items. Besides, they built a small balcony on the east wing of the second floor.

Fellow Lego Fortnite players on Reddit were impressed by the appearance of this castle, with one drawing attention to symmetrical staircases. Some also felt like they were taken to the castle in Martin Baynton's Jane and the Dragon animated series.

How Necessary is Base Building in Lego Fortnite

Building bases is among the best things to do first in Lego Fortnite. However, players must first find a suitable spot on the map, gather natural resources, and unlock recipes to establish houses. These structures serve as a central hub for different activities, allowing them to settle down crafting benches and store items.

Now that Lego Fortnite has been out for a while, players have learned how to build bases and other contraptions. Recently, one utilized pre-existing recipes to craft a semi-truck, while another combined different types of blocks to make a functional jet with impressive flight capabilities. Besides that, some Lego Fortnite players have built huge bases using a large amount of resources.

Speaking of custom-builds, Lego Fortnite recently introduced new vehicle recipes into the game, which players can unlock by adding specific items to their inventory. These vehicles are perfect for traveling between biomes and carrying heavy loads. Aside from recipes, the game's Mechanical Mayhem update added the ability to customize builds with a selection of parts. By using wheels, power centers, and seats, players can now change their vehicle to their liking.
