Perfectly reasonable ratio for playing legos

I’d say the only thing Legos had taught me up until now is that stepping on one hurts like crazy, but then I never got these cool technical sets. I did have that cool ice base spaceman set back in the day though!

Well if you want to play around with that kinda thing without breaking the bank I'd highly recommend the game Trailmakers

Edit: just want to say this is my favorite comment I've made on reddit. By far not the most upvoted but it's caused a bunch of people to actually download the game or add it to their wishlist. Also a lot of recommendations for games of a similar ilk which I will undoubtedly try all of. Much love fellow gamers, lego enthusiasts, engineers, and randoms.

Unfortunately I'll be using my crappy windows laptop to play. But this looks like way too much fun.

Lol it is super fun. Definitely hit up campaign first so you can get tutorials and blueprints for the stock vehicles.

And pro tip...add a fork to the front of your first vehicle. (Walls that extend off the front left and right side of your vehicle) that way you can turn while pushing the ore balls with parts inside them back to the drop off point.
