How to get Fertilizer in LEGO Fortnite

Fertilizer is one of the most readily available and abundant resources in LEGO Fortnite, if you know where to look. Domesticated animals like chickens, cows, and sheep are always roaming nearby, and they will be your natural source of Fertilizer in the game.

Look for Fertilizer on the ground in areas with sheep, chickens or cows, and chances are you’ll immediately find some. If you don’t see any, you can just wait a bit - in a matter of seconds, one of the animals will produce a piece.

Fertilizer looks exactly as you’d expect it to - it’s just a small brown LEGO poop piece. To pick it up, you just need to get closer and press a button when the prompt to collect it appears. Naturally, no special tools or equipment are required to grab poop.

Feed animals to boost Fertilizer production in LEGO Fortnite

Feeding animals vines, pumpkins, berries or corn, will speed up their bowel movements, producing more Fertilizer for you to pick up. Just open your inventory and drop plant-based food items next to the animals, and they'll quickly eat them.

Some players claim that scaring animals by chopping nearby trees or attacking them with or without a weapon equipped speeds up Fertilizer production, but we can’t confirm this to be the case, and do not recommend it, as it could accidentally kill your trusty sources of poop.
