How to Make Seeds in LEGO Fortnite

Crafting your seeds in LEGO Fortnite is important for several reasons. It allows you to be self-sufficient and not have to rely on finding seeds in the wild.

Foraging for seeds can be time-consuming and unpredictable. By crafting them yourself, you have a reliable source.

Crafting seeds allows you to choose which crops you want to grow. Different seeds yield different crops that provide unique resources. By tailoring your seed production, you can focus on growing the crops that best aid your goals and needs in the game.

Producing seeds yourself allows you to scale up production. As your village and farming plots expand, you will need an increasing number of seeds.

Materials Needed to Craft the Grain Mill

Unlocking the recipe by building the Lumber Mill and stone Breaker

Before you can craft a Grain Mill in LEGO Fortnite, you first need to unlock the recipe by constructing two other buildings – the Lumber Mill and Stone Breaker.

The Lumber Mill provides wood resources by converting logs into planks. It serves as an essential early-game structure for gathering crafting materials. Building one unlocks new recipe options.

After erecting a Lumber Mill, you need to build a Stone Breaker which turns stone into brick resources. Constructing both of these resource buildings is required for the Grain Mill recipe to become available.

Required materials for crafting the Grain Mill

Once you unlock the Grain Mill recipe, these are the required ingredients you need to craft it:

20 Knotroot Rods
20 Granite Slabs
3 Shells

Knotroot Rods are harvested from Knotroot plants which have twisted, rope-like stems. The plants grow mainly in jungle biomes.

Granite slabs can be acquired by destroying large granite rocks found in mountains and cliff areas. Use a pickaxe to mine the granite.

Shells can be collected from beaches along the ocean shoreline. Keep an eye out for small white shells partially buried in the sand.

Once you have the necessary crafting ingredients, take them to the Build Menu and select the Grain Mill recipe to construct the building.

Building the Grain Mill in your village

Now that you understand the importance of seed production and have gathered the required materials, you are ready to establish your Grain Mill:

Travel to a suitable building site in your village that is flat and open. The Grain Mill structure takes up a 3×3 footprint.
Open the Build Menu by pressing B and select the Grain Mill recipe you unlocked.
With the ghost structure preview visible, use the required bricks, rods, and shells to build the Grain Mill.
Exit build mode and your new Grain Mill should now stand ready to convert ingredients into seeds.

Transforming resources into seeds

Once built, interacting with your Grain Mill will display seed recipes it can produce. Different seed types require you to provide the Grain Mill with specific ingredients.

For example, handing over 2 wheat grains yields 1 wheat seed. Or giving the mill 2 corn kernels returns 1 corn seed. Each seed recipe will detail what items you need to sacrifice to create seeds.

Here are some common resources and the seeds they can be transformed into via the Grain Mill:

Wheat Grains -> Wheat Seeds
Corn Kernels -> Corn Seeds
Berries -> Berry Seeds
Flowers -> Flower Seeds

Experiment with different items to discover all the possible seeds your Grain Mill can produce. And be sure to keep it stocked with ingredients to mass-produce seeds for your farm plots.

Planting seeds on garden plots for farming

After converting resources into an assortment of seeds, you can take them to your farm plots to begin planting crops:

Till empty soil using a hoe to prepare the land.
Stand over the tilled dirt and open your inventory.
Select the seeds you want to sow and click the “Plant” button.
Wait several in-game days for your planted crops to fully grow.
Return to harvest your mature plants for their bounty of fruits, vegetables, grain, or resources.

Having an efficient seed production and farming system established will provide your settlement with a wealth of valuable crops. And you can always expand production by erecting more Grain Mills and garden plots.

Conclusion

The ability to craft your seeds in LEGO Fortnite provides self-sufficiency and sustainability. Relying on foraged seeds or trying to plant crops from destroyed grass and plants is tedious. By constructing a Grain Mill, you take control of your farm’s future.

Choosing which seeds to produce lets you tailor harvests to your needs. Being able to mass produce seeds helps scale up crop output without fear of shortages. Just be sure to stock up on enough conversion ingredients to avoid interrupting seed output.
