How to get soil in LEGO Fortnite?

To find soil in LEGO Fortnite, you must craft a shovel. Here’s what you will need to craft a shovel in the game.

  • Lumber Mill
  • Wooden rods
  • Planks

Until and unless you’ve crafted a lumber mill, you won’t be able to craft wooden rods or planks in the game. To craft a lumber mill, you will require eight pieces of wood and 15 pieces of stone. Once you’ve done that, you can craft the planks, wooden rods, and the shovel. You will need two wooden rods and one plank to craft a shovel. Once you’re done crafting the shovel, you only need to pick it up and dig anywhere.

This should yield one stack of soil in LEGO Fortnite for you to use. Currently, there aren’t many uses for the item in the game, but more should be available later. The only way to use soil in the game is to build a farm. You’ll need two soil stacks and one fertilizer stack. This will result in one farmland plot. Plant seeds in these areas to grow crops you can eat or harvest for more resources.

The process is lengthy, but it has long-term benefits. A large enough farmland provides not only a steady supply of resources but also a steady supply of food. Given that you can play on the same map with your friends, you can trade these for other items that will aid you in crafting higher-level items.
