Getting Planks in LEGO Fortnite: A Comprehensive Guide
LEGO Fortnite is a surprise hit in the world of survival crafting games. It drops players right into the action, requiring them to build and maintain a thriving village. But one essential resource that's crucial for progress - Planks - can be difficult to obtain. In this article, we'll walk you through how to get Planks in LEGO Fortnite.
Why Are Planks So Important in LEGO Fortnite?
Planks are the foundation of every village and structure upgrade in LEGO Fortnite. They're essential for making progress in the game, but unfortunately, the game doesn't make it clear how to get them, even with the guided building tutorial.
How Do You Get Planks in LEGO Fortnite?
To get Planks, you'll need to build a Lumber Mill using 8 Wood and 15 Granite. Once the mill is built, you can deposit Wood, which will be refined into Planks over time. The process takes around 5 seconds to refine one Wood into one Plank.
The good news is that the Lumber Mill is unlocked early on in the game, and it's not too expensive to build. You can find the necessary resources scattered around your world without having to cut down trees or mine rocks.
A Personal Experience: The Struggle to Get Planks
We'll admit it - it took us a while to figure out how to get Planks. We'd met all the requirements to upgrade our village, but couldn't progress without them. After some trial and error, we finally discovered the secret to getting Planks.
How to Farm Planks in LEGO Fortnite
To farm Planks, you'll need to assign the Lumber Mill as a job to one of your villagers. Once you've recruited a villager, you can speak to them again and discuss Resource Jobs. With a Lumber Mill in place, you can assign a villager to produce Planks every day. To collect the Planks, simply speak to the villager and ask about their job.
Optimizing Your Plank Farming
To maximize your Plank production, you can:
- Build more Lumber Mills to increase your production capacity
- Recruit more villagers to run the mills
- Plan ahead and build your Lumber Mills in a way that doesn't impact future structures
- Position the mills in a convenient location for your villagers, but not necessarily for you
By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to becoming a master Plank farmer in LEGO Fortnite.
