It's not in v43.00's UEFN patch notes but you can make SCENE GRAPH WILDLIFE now if you enable the experimental setting!
Make them real big, change materials, attach VFX or sounds. It's all the scene graph features. You spawn them in by either placing them or spawning them as you would an normal scene graph entity through verse.

Got to spend time with Chuck Gordon's middle school class guiding them through the Unreal Engine Rube Goldberg Learning Kit so they can participate in the 2027 competition! Fun fact: I did my student teaching at this school 30 years ago!!

📱Incredibly cool to see Droid Tycoon searchable on the App Store, and featured by Fortnite. We worked hard to optimize the experience for mobile, and hope new players can discover the fun of crafting droids from the comfort and convenience of their phone. 🤳🏻
