Helping someone start on Blockland; Recommendations?

[comr4de]

I've got a couple of freshmen at my school who saw me playing blockland and were pretty interested by it. I've been giving them tips to start up on BL, but I feel that I don't have enough. Here's what I've got so far.


• Tier+tactical are probably the only weapons you'll ever need.
• Do not post on the forums until you've got a good understanding of what the community is like.
• ALWAYS start your build on a baseplate.
• IF you have two bricks and you can replace them with one larger brick, do it.
• Respect server rules.
• Dotn tal liec dis
• If someone comes in and says your build is terrible, ignore it. You'll become a greater builder over time.
• A datablock is not a brick with events on it, they're for Add-Ons.


Suggestions?

Run.

No.
I suggest you let them build something like a house first. Then critisize on what they did wrong , et cetera.
Help them progress.

Not gonna add those, they seem like common sense, at least to me.

Add the grammar one. You don't want them ending up like total internet idiots.

• Dont use props because they spam
the console.

• Dont download too many addons, just keep
some that you like and are useful to you.

Don't visit free admin servers

try showing them events :D

[Cheemo]

Tier + Tactical isn't needed. Please, no.

Practice building for a while in single player and lurk the forums. Show them some coolbro members that could be a "role model" for them.

[phflack]

i can show them eventing :D

Okay, added what I found useful.


Tier+tactical is in there because it has probably EVERY weapon you'll ever actually use. I'm not saying you need to have it enabled at all times.
