The sky's the limit for ambitious designers, as creations come to life block by block through the intuitive building system, featuring over seventy building blocks. Over the years, fans of the game have created transforming dinosaurs, walker mechs, and more; what will come off the drawing board next as players embark along The Splintered Sea?
