Build, Copy, and Relocate Structures: A Comprehensive Guide for Nightingale

Move Function

How to Relocate Structures

Let's kick things off by discussing the Move function, which is the least 'destructive' option for shifting already-built structures from point A to point B. To initiate this, simply walk up to any structure you've constructed and press X. This action reveals three new options on the bottom left-hand side of the screen: Move, Copy, and Remove. To utilize the Move function, ensure your cursor is positioned over the item you wish to relocate, then press the associated key (typically set to the R key by default). Walk over to the desired destination and place the item down, as if you were initially constructing it. Once done, the object should be seamlessly relocated without the need to gather materials again. This feature facilitates the hassle-free moving of chests, workbenches, and various other items around your base, eliminating the need to dismantle everything or rely on an NPC Companion as a pack mule.

Copy Function

How to Duplicate Structures

Moving on to the Copy function (typically bound to the Q key by default), there are two methods to achieve this:

1. When placing objects to build, and the game presents a blue 'hollow' version of the object, hold the 'Interact' input on this hollow blue object. A radial menu will appear, offering the option to 'copy.' By selecting this option, players can effortlessly replicate an unbuilt structure for their blueprint without navigating the build menu repeatedly.

2. Alternatively, after fully constructing a structure, press 'X' and approach the object you wish to copy, akin to when moving it. Activate the copy input, and a hollow blue version of the structure/object will follow your cursor. Position this hollow variant as desired and place it down. Unlike the Move function, using the Copy function necessitates providing the required materials again for the 'real' version of the object/structure to be constructed.

Remove Function

How To Destroy Structures

Lastly, let's delve into the 'Remove' function in Nightingale. This process mirrors the previous two functions (press 'X' and position your cursor over the object/structure). However, instead of simply pressing the Remove input (typically bound to the V key by default), you must hold it to confirm the destruction of the object. Once confirmed, the targeted object and any dependent structures will vanish, with materials used in their construction dropping to the ground. This method streamlines adjustments to buildings/structures, sparing you the labor of manually dismantling misplaced components. Moreover, it facilitates the swift dismantling of structures at one location to relocate materials for constructing a new base elsewhere, such as when joining a friend's Realm.
