No two survival games have the same base-building systems, honestly most of them are entirely different with only one or two passing similarities. Because of this, it can be difficult or even tedious to figure out how the actual building system works in a new survival game such asNightingale. For example, how many of you playing this game are even aware that you may deconstruct already-built structures without having to actually break them using your own tools?
WhileNightingale’stutorial is relatively short and goes over a lot of the most crucial information new players will need to know, there’s a lot of little stuff it doesn’t go over. There are things like the intricacies of the Minor and Major Cards in-game, the way dungeons work, different damage types and how they effect enemies, and much more. But in particular, the Copy, Move, and Remove options avaliable to players when they press ‘X’ in-game to open the expanded build menu is one system you’re going to want to learn about.
Move Function
How to Relocate Structures
First off, let’s go over the least ‘destructive’ option for getting an already-built structure from point A to point B,the Move function (set to the R key by default). To do this, simple walk up to any structure you’ve built and press X to see 3 new options appear in the bottom left-hand side of the screen, Move, Copy, and Remove.
To use the Move function, simply make sure your cursor is over the item in question you want to move, press the associated key, walk over to where you want to move the item to, and place it down again as if you were placing it from the build menu for the first time.After doing this, the object or structure in question should automatically be placed down without needing to supply the materials again, allowing you to move chests, workbenches, and all sorts of other items around your base without having to break it down and rebuilt it from square oneor using an NPC Companion as a packmule.
Copy Function
How to Duplicate Structures
For the next function, the Copy function (Q key by default)there are actually two ways to use this:
Unlike the Move function, the Copy function will require you to put the required materials into the hollow version again in order for the ‘real’ version of the object/structure to be built, so keep that in mind.
How To Destroy Structures
And finally, let’s go over how to use the ‘Remove’ function inNightingale.This follows the same process as the previous two (press ‘X’, put your cursor over the object/structure in question) but instead of simply pressing the Remove input (V by default), you’ll need to hold it as a way of confirming you really want to destroy said object.
After doing this, the object you’re looking at as well as any objects/structures that depended on the structure you destroyed to function (such as a wall on top of a wall you remove) will dissapear and materials that went into making them will fall onto the ground.
By doing things this way, you may easily make adjustments to a building/structure without having to manually break every single misplaced wall or roof. Additionally, this allows you to quickly break down a structure at one location to then bring those materials to a new location you want to build a base at,such as after joining a friends Realm.
