Thus, we have made the effort to write a guide on this subject, so that you can make your life more efficient in the game.
How do you obtain soil and fertilizer in Lego Fortnite?
Soil is an essential element as crops grow on it. To plant a crop for farming in Lego Fortnite, you have to prepare a Graden Plot. To make that you will need Soil and Fertilizer, as they are the backbone requirements for it. Here are the steps to gather these materials:
