How to Get Soil in LEGO Fortnite

You’ll need to start digging to get your hands on plenty of Soil. To do this, you’ll need to get your hands on a shovel, which is a rather easy item to craft as long as you have all of the necessary materials to make it happen. The first thing we’ll need to do is make a Crafting Bench, and once we’ve completed that, we can start making a shovel.

How to Craft a Shovel in LEGO Fortnite

To create a Shovel, you’ll need to get your hands on a few Wooden Rods and some Planks. To make this happen, you’ll need to create a Lumber Mill and pass through some additional wood to create this particular item. Once you have claimed all the pieces you need, return to the Crafting Bench and make your shovel.

You’ll need the following items to create a Shovel:

  • 3 Wooden Rods
  • 1 Plank

Once you have finally obtained a Shovel, you’ll just need to find a patch of Earth that you’d like to excavate and press the Fire button to start digging into the ground. After a few strikes to the ground, you’ll exhume some soil and be ready to use it for all of your building and crafting needs.

What is Soil Used For in LEGO Fortnite?

If you’re hoping to live a more peaceful life and stay away from the terrifying monsters, you can use the Soil to create a Garden Plot. This particularly useful piece of equipment will allow you to grow different plants and vegetables so you can keep yourself fed when things get rough and have some extra healing items on hand at all times.
