Minimum and Maximum Values of User/Device Options: Creator Suggestions

General Feedback & Requests

Hey folks,

the changes we announced (37.00 Fortnite Ecosystem Updates and Release Notes | Fortnite Documentation | Epic Developer Community) to the minimum and maximum values for user/device options won’t arrive until v38.00 at the earliest.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • We’re doing this because some islands that exceed intended limits are crashing or causing performance issues, which isn’t a great experience for players.
  • We will expand the min and max values for many user/device options based on data and your feedback before locking the values.
  • We’ll give you a heads up in advance when we have a final date so you can make any necessary adjustments.

If you have suggestions on which options should have their values changed, please share them below.

This table is better for visuals credit to @Velocity_Zero

I have put what max i need for my islands but i feel it should be the max Epix feels is acceptable in any regard. Ie i put 50 layers but if Epic think 100 is ok then its 100 ect

Or better yet can you just limit the things that effect performance ? wouldn’t that be easier ?

Adding to this, I switched most of my UI from verse to HUD message devices (with pasted in layers) and noticed better performance with animations, especially on mobile.

I think the things that affect me most often are the limits on HUD Message devices and Explosive devices. It is really helpful to have 20+ layers for hud messages, and a lot more would be great but I don’t know at what point it becomes unreasonable. For explosives, at least a 100 tile distance would be helpful but again the higher the limit on that the better and I would imagine having multiple barrels works against performance in it’s own way.

Damage Multiplier has no reason to not be unlimited tbh

I’d like to suggest these, mainly the incease max limit of the Damage amplifier essential for dungeon/roguelike type maps

  • Damage Amplifier: Max value from 4 → 100–200
  • HUD Layer: Max layers from 5 → 50
  • Explosion Radius: Max value from current → 250–500
  • Barrier Size: Max size from 100 → 200
  • NPC Spawn Count: Max size from 20 → 50

Max Spawn count should be 90, to abide with the global AI spawn cap (currently its 20).

Epic should create a reset builds device thats uber performance steady to eliminate the need to bodge the explosive device which probs causes some issue.

MINIMAP DEVICE

Property Min Expected Min Max Expected Max Affects You Directly Priority
Map Capture Box Size 5 5 500 1000 YES Critical

Use cases:
For very large maps with the maximum value not all of the area is occupied, so the value must be increased in order to view the entire area on the minimap.

TRACKER DEVICE

Property Min Expected Min Max Expected Max Affects You Directly Priority
Target Value 1 1 10K Unlimited YES Critical

USE CASES:
Possibility to create a persistent scoring system (rank, arena, etc.) [and easily resettable] without using Verse persistence or save point device (just duplicate the tracker to reset the value). The problem is that the maximum value is 10K, which is very limiting.

EXPLOSIVE DEVICE

Property Min Expected Min Max Expected Max Affects You Directly Priority
Blast Radius 1 1 10 100 YES Critical

USE CASES:
Reset entire zone with only one explosive instead put multiple barrel that explode at the same time

Please raise the max health of the objective device to 100 million, as 25k is too low
