Hello, and welcome to my Fortress Craft Tutorials.

In this thread I will attempt to get a lot of TuTs for the game.

I will not add "How to Get FC for Free" in here. This game should be bought. It's piracy, and it's only 240MSP.

If you need a TuT for FC and it's not here, Post and I'll add one. If you have a TuT and it's not here, PM me.

24: How to Update the game when you can't *Fix*:

Well, some people here cannot update the game, right? Well if you cannot do that, here's a question.

Did you License Transfer to get Fortress Craft?

Well if you did, then that's why you cannot update the game (Most likely). To Update it, you will need the Account that you had License Transferred from to get Fortress Craft in the first place. When you have that Account on your console, go to Fortress Craft: Chapter 1, and it should prompt you to Update, click "X" to Update the game.

This should solve your problem. If not, then I don't know what is up. You should take it up with the Developers of FortressCraft.

25: How to find and use the Workshop (V1.09F):

To find the Workshop: you will need to look beneath your spawn. It's located under the spawn - 30 Blocks beneath it. So, count 30 Blocks down, and you may see an opening. If not, delete the blocks around the spawn. When you see and opening go inside there and you should be able to build in a little area. Congratulations, you have found the Workshop.

To use what you have created in the Workshop: you will need to exit the Workshop (Move away from the spawn) and look in you Block Inventory. When you have activated your Block Inventory, scroll to the right by pressing "RT" until you find little blue blocks that cannot be selected. One of them can be selected, and that is your own block that you have created. Congratulations, you now have made a block in the Workshop and can place the blocks you made anywhere. You can also make up to 64 Blocks.

26. How to play Spleef and other Mini-games (Hunter and Freeze-Tag):

How to Activate them: Start > Relics > Right at the bottom.

Spleef - To play spleef you will need to build an arena made of Canvas blocks. When you have, have no exits, but if you do, make sure it's not made of Canvas blocks. When you have done all that, Activate spleef mode. When it's activated, you will no longer be able to delete any blocks other than the Canvas ones. The objective of this game is too delete the blocks below the opposing player's feet. When you have have, and they fall to the ground - they will be labelled as defeated, and you will win. You have to stay on the Canvas blocks to win!

Hunter - The Hunter game mode is like tag, and you must go after the players in your server. When your close enough, press RT, and they should re-spawn at the top (Only if you attacked them with the claws). That means that they are on it and must come after you or the other players. You can have fun with this if you have a good world!

Freeze-Tag - To play this, it's like hunter, but you have a gun, and must shoot people. The person you shoot is on it and must shoot all the other players.

*All Relics are disabled if you Activate these Mini Games!*

27. Making your Workshop Blocks move!: Credits: SickShotzz

Load a block you have made into your Workshop and open the CMD and type 'setname (And one of the following in brown below).'

*THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE QUOTES OR THE BRACKETS. e.g: 'Setname Rotatecw' > That is a command, and will make your block rotate.

Rotatecw -- continually rotates the block clockwise
Rotateccw -- continually rotates the block counter-clockwise
Fountain -- displays fountain particles in the center (think water block without water)
Fire -- small pillar of fire from center of block.
Smoke -- small pillar of smoke similar to the smoke from torches
Greensmoke -- small pillar of green smoke (teleporter "smoke")
Orbit -- block orbits center of placement with one side always facing in.
Planetary -- same as orbit but block spins opposite of orbit.
Piston -- block moves up and down like a piston. From placement block to 1 block above.
Squish -- block floats .5 block above placement and repeatedly does a "squishing" animation
Dervish -- block spins wildly and erratically, think block in a dervish (whirlwind)
Randomisefacing -- like it sounds, randomizes the facing of the block when placed.
Dangle -- block "dangles" as if hung from the ceiling in wind. Think hanging lamp or windchimes
Wind -- same as dangle, except from the bottom face, think wind in grass.
Jiggle -- blocks jiggle side to side with some rotation from the center of block
Big -- makes blocks 2 times bigger. Drawback is that it covers 1/2 of every block adjacent, it doesn't cover the full.
Small -- makes block 2 times smaller and centers in center of placement block.
Growshrink -- repeating animation of going between big and small sizes (big and small reference above).
Twizzle -- Blocks rotate almost 90 degrees from left to right of placement, pivoting on center of placement.
