Candy Construction Capers

Similar to your experience on the previous worlds you visited, as you land on this new world, your landing will shortly be followed by a meteorite fall. And as your character will automatically gaze on the falling meteor, quickly proceed to its location to earn your new toy. If by any chance you can’t help yourself but to roam around at first, you may easily locate the meteorite fall site by following the green dot on your minimap. To confirm that this is the fall site, gaze on the direction fronting the dot on your minimap, and check for the streak of light visible on the sky.

When you get there, you’ll earn the Copy Tool. As always, a short introductory video will play out to inform you about the tool you just earned. Copy tool does exactly what it is called. With this tool, you may easily copy buildings and any standing structure, and duplicate it anytime, anywhere. As long as it stays in your “My Build” library, you have to power to build the same structure anywhere you want.

Try your best to discover stuff with your discovery tool whenever you encounter new stuff in new worlds. Doing this will open up new categories in your inventory tab that will give you a hint of the extent of what is to be expected in the game. You can earn different Creatures, discover outfits/look, find different Vehicles, building, etc.

Before you go collecting gold bricks in this world, you’ll first have to claim another tool to be used in one of the Quests. To earn it, find the small black treasure chest like indicator in the minimap. Go towards its direction to earn the Paint tool. This tool does exactly what it’s called. With this, you now have the opportunity to personalize your creations even further by painting over the bricks. What’s more interesting is that the bricks sometimes change their properties or characteristics as you paint over them. For example, you may paint bricks to be animated and become lava – which has a burn effect on live characters in the game.

Beside the black treasure chest site, sits your first gold brick quest in this world. Find the person standing in front of a half-painted house. And if it isn’t obvious enough what this entails, ask the character to get you started with the quest. Her request would be to paint over the house in exchange for her gold brick. – which of course you are interested in.

Simply paint over every white spot of the house and call her out when you are finished. If you confirm this with her, she’ll hand you the gold brick. It doesn’t even have to look nice or anything special, but nonetheless, you take this chance to play with your new tool and get accustomed how it is used. By now you should have 5 out of 7 gold bricks required to advance your builder skill level.

Next stop, run around the opposite side of the island to reveal two more sites sitting near each other in the minimap with gold bricks. One of these sites will have a ginger bread like house with a giant mixer sitting right next to it. Find the person with a callout box showing the need of a copy tool. What this person needs is an exact replica of the ginger bread house. Simply copy the standing structure with your copy tool, figure out its mechanics, and then summon the blueprint from your build library to build it next to the house as the person requested. Viola! The sixth gold brick is ripe for the taking.

Once you copy a structure with your copy tool, before saving its blueprint on your build library, you have the opportunity to customize and somewhat fine tune the blueprint by adding or removing bricks from the copied structure. Try this out before saving the blueprint.

Once you’re done with the sixth gold brick, proceed on the gold brick location as seen on your minimap. Here, you’ll find what seems to look like an uncompleted house. The person will tell you that somebody/something ate the wall of the house and asks you to help him build it. He then throws at you another tool the “Build Tool” to lay down the needed bricks -- one brick at a time, just like how you’d build any LEGO structure in the real world. And as you check the sub-menu of this tool, you’ll figure out that not every type of brick is unlocked the first time you use it except for the basic few ones – which means you’ll still have to unlock them later on in the game.

Nonetheless, try the tool out to build the wall of the house. It is probably the hardest and one of the more intricately controlled tools in the game so getting a hang of how to use it can take quite some time. Before laying down any brick or tile, you’d see a transparent brick silhouette which may confuse you for a while, but then, you’d figure out that this registers the exact location of the brick once you laid it out. Give this tool a try for it gives you the utmost flexibility in design.

Upon completely sealing the wall of the house (well not exactly, for it actually checks how much bricks you have used), the guy will give you the last brick you need in order to level up. Now you are Rank 3 and officially an “Explorer Builder”. You also might have noticed that you've gained pretty much all of the master builder's tools by now so you may head back to your ship and feed it the gold bricks you’ve just earned, and get ready to start you very own LEGO adventure!
