How to Unlock the Autobuild Ability in TotK
The best part about Autobuild in TotK is that you can unlock it right after starting the game without having to progress any quests.
Head south from Lookout Landing, just below the Exchange Ruins location, there is a Launch Tower there. Fly south and aim for the Great Plateau North Chasm location.
There will be a giant hole in the floor and you’ll need to fall through to reach The Depths. Make sure to have Brightbloom Seeds to light up the area around you.
Attach the wheels to the cart platform, and then also add the steering wheel to create a quick vehicle.
Head straight towards a lit-up building, which is the Great Abandoned Central Mine. Interact with the Steward Construct that’s near the entrance and you’ll unlock autobuild in TotK.
How to Save Builds & Autobuild in TotK
To save builds in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, access the autobuild feature from the quick menu and start experimenting.
Once you build something you like, you can find it in the History menu. There, you can favorite and save the build, so that it can be used later.
