Several months ago, we tested out the beginnings of a block-building mode. Thanks to the community and overwhelming demand, Monke Blocks will make a grand return to the game on Friday, November 15.
Here’s everything to know about the return of Monke Blocks:
Players physically grab the Monke Blocks and snap them into place. Monke Blocks prioritizes supporting massive numbers of blocks to allow maximum creativity.
While some players are busy constructing the miniature worlds with the blocks, other players can simultaneously shrink down and play on what is being built.
The Monke Blocks Zone will be surrounded by repopulating shelves and conveyors full of pieces that will allow players the freedom to get more blocks of the type they want to use. Players can recycle pieces they don’t need.
Players will be able to save the state of their Monke Blocks builds using the Scanning Station in the Monke Blocks Zone. Players can scan the current state of the blocks into 1 of 3 scan slots. They can then continue building from where they left off by selecting which scan they want and creating a new private room.
Special themed sets of blocks will be purchasable with Shiny Rocks. The first set, with medieval castle-themed pieces, will be available for 6,000 Shiny Rocks on Friday, November 15 alongside the update.
When one player in a room owns a purchasable set, the blocks in that set will be available to every player in that room as long as an owner of that set remains in the room. When that player leaves the room, other players can no longer get more pieces from the premium set. If a player saves a build with pieces from a set they don’t own, that saved build will fall back to pieces from the basic set where needed.
The Monke Blocks area will have a large Shared Building Area surrounded by smaller Private Plots. Any player in the room can build in the Shared Building Area. Players in public rooms can claim a Private Plot and what they build there cannot be torn down by other players.
When in the Monke Blocks area players will have a small snappable shelf equipped to each arm. Players can snap stacks of pieces onto their forearm shelves and carry them all at once to where they are currently building.
