This is just a few things which I think would really help improve the game and not break it or help players skip massive parts of the game.

These aren’t in any particular order

Bolding things does not seem to work so I am gonna make them capitals, sorry if it looks weird.

  1. More uses for the shovel.

Probably like over half the players haven’t really used a shovel. It doesn’t really give any use apart from giving you seeds which you get anyway from chests as you explore and soil. I’m not saying to be able to dig the ground to change the landscape, since I’m assuming that would be exceptionally hard to code and to not make it break the game. Just to give it a HIGHER LOOT POOL which can increase as the shovel rarity increases. It could give wood, granite, string, wool, feathers and even a small chance of giving knotroot and granite.

  1. Steering wheel

This wouldn’t fix all the issues with the toys but I think if you could sort of “SET” a wheel to the steering wheel, then it would greatly improve the Dynamic Island.

Also by “SETTING” or “linking” a thruster with an activation switch would also improve the Dynamic Islands as it would get rid of all the clunky parts of changing direction.

  1. Increasing village range

I think that every time you upgrade your village level, that it should INCREASE THE DISTANCE just a bit. Or maybe even every other level, just to further incentivise levelling up your village. This would also lead to more people building more than just to level up their village as they would have more room to build their large mansions.

  1. Map Zoom

For me personally, I always try to zoom in when I pull up the map. I just think we should be able to zoom in further and zoom out to see a lot more of the map. Not too deep

There’s a word count so I’m gonna add the rest below

#
  1. Increased use for bones

Since skeletons are like the main mini enemies you fight throughout the game, the loot they drop should, in my opinion, have a greater use than the second rarity of items. I think bones could potentially be used for some future mythic weapons or tools. However, I think a good use of bones could be an upgraded version of an arrow, which would deal more damage and would give a use to bones and an upgrade to arrows.

  1. More tools

While I don’t think there should be too many rarities of items, nor do I think there will be a brand new rarity that hasn’t even been introduced to battle royale, I think there should be other side weapons and tools. A good example of this is the new hunting dagger. While you probably will not pick it over a sword, it is a great example of what a “side”weapon could be. Another one could be a battle axe and even a compound bow. But, I think these should be unlockable in late game, once you get obsidian and then later, iron, so that you get to use the other weapons and get the opportunity to try a brand new one.

  1. The ability to grow trees

While going to different biomes to get different resources is vital to the game. I think that once you unlock the wood from the plains and from the frostlands, you should be able to “craft” a sapling or be able to find it in the shovel’s hopefully upgraded loot pool. This would allow players to have the option to try to GROW THEIR OWN TREES through trying to find the sapling through shovelling, rather than possibly travelling a large distance to the closest known biome. The plot would not be a garden plot or farm plot, like for berries, it would take around 4x the amount of fertiliser and soil for the craft and could even have bones in the craft, to make players a small reason to keep them. This addition would help shovels, bones and planted trees could help players decorate their villages even further.

#

Ok so I know that I wrote a bunch of things. You guys might not even be bothered to read all of it, but I think these additions would help the game.

Tbh I was only thinking for frostpine and normal wood as to me flex wood seems a bit different than them

#

and that it’s quite an important material for toys

#

but yeah no I agree w u tbh

lethal snow
#

Well, in my opinion each biome should have a climate which enables certain plant growth. I.e it needs to cold for frostpine to grow, and warm for flexwood to grow

novel tusk
#

yeah

lethal snow
#

A higher loot pool for shovels is a fantastic idea. What’s the point in the lucky charm for digging when all you get is seeds and dirt?

novel tusk
#

aw thanks, im pretty sure its original as i havent seen it anywhere on here. I have definitely seen steering wheel oml, and i defo agree

lethal snow
#

Love the idea about the village, but then again having villages as close as possible is also something I wouldn’t want to change, the range is nice as of now and the expansion of the village field might interfere with the range and make it so villages have to be even further away

#

There should also not be a cap of 15 NPCs in a single world. That’s already capping you to 3 villages maximum.

novel tusk
#

yeah i see what u mean, just yknow to give incentive and to be able to visually see village upgrade iyk mean

#

oh no ye defo

lethal snow
novel tusk
#

yeah. what about the extra bone usage like for arrow upgrades?

lethal snow
#

More tools definitely, you made a great comparison regarding the daggers. Not a first choice but it’s the variety and different perks which make the tools more interesting and necessary for different tasks, then again you wouldn’t want TOO many or it would be silly, if you want to farm all kinds of materials and you have to take out a whole inventory of different tools 😹

lethal snow
#

Map zoom definitely, I’d rather have the option to zoom in than to zoom out

novel tusk
#

Yeah and while i do like the new update which meant that you dont auto pick up pickaxes and stuff, but bones are really prominent throughout the entire game

lethal snow
#

I don’t have a problem with the bones, they’re just useless

novel tusk
#

yeah they need something better than to make a better sword or axe

#

or pickaxe idk i forgot which one you need to make first tbh but its in the knotroot and marble bit

lethal snow
#

But then again, they are bones, so they’re commonality can’t really provide much

novel tusk
#

not anything AMAZING, just something to give a better use in late game possibly

lethal snow
#

We need a more effective way of incinerating things too

#

And definitely some mechanics like Lego Fortnite’s own redstone stuff like Minecraft or electrical stuff like rust

#

With Lego, the different LEGO TECHNIC pieces they have to utilise, they have the opportunity to be very creative with what they can bring to the game

novel tusk
#

yeah but it couldnt be lava as when you mine in the desert caves above lava the ores fall in and just float so it wouldnt make complete sense. Maybe a machine possibly with a similar design to a stone crusher but u would input items

#

aw lets go two upvotes that isnt me. w

lethal snow
#

Great suggestions though Echo 👍🏻

novel tusk
#

tysm and for all the feedback

lethal snow
#

Absolutely 😊

novel tusk
#

i rlly hope more people see this, so maybe the developers do cause i think at least half of these definitely could be introduced in the future.

lethal snow
#

That’s why I try to get involved with a lot of these suggestions I think are very good, more ideas and talking through suggestions is going to increase the chance of it being recognised

#

I think you’ve listed some of the greatest ideas so far and I had to share my viewpoint also.

#

Your ideas were top notch and how you’ve crafted and explained it is fantastic. Kudos to you.

novel tusk
#

aw thanks yeah. viewpoint VERY welcome. tysm!

lethal snow
#

I would suggest renaming the title of your thread, much like you would address the subject to an email.

#

Something you think that will grab the developers’ attention.

novel tusk
#

what should i change it to? I agree that I have to change it, but what to? Any ideas?

lethal snow
#

Amuse me. What can you come up with

#

I’ll inform you whether it’s eye catching ..

novel tusk
#

Ideas For Mechanic Enhancement

#

no clue

#

sounds kinda engineer-y

lethal snow
#

Bold statement, I know if I was a developer I’d want to have a little read of this

novel tusk
#

alright then so we keep it?

lethal snow
#

But then again, simple is not my forte, so hopefully most of the Fortnite developers are inquisitive and have a thirst for complexities so they’ll check this thread out

#

I’d say keep it

novel tusk
#

alright. Hopefully they do check some of these out. thx
