Boards in settlements and much more. Being a product of wood processing, boards cannot be found in the open world of the game, you can only create them yourself. They play a role not only in creating equipment and leveling up the settlement, but are also needed for the construction of a huge number of decorative items. With them, the player will make the village not only functionally developed, but also cozy. In the guide we will tell you how to craft boards in LEGO Fortnite, and for which specific important buildings they are needed.
How to make boards in LEGO Fortnite
You can get boards in LEGO Fortnite in 2 ways - using a sawmill and chests open world. The last option is clearly not suitable as a source of continuous replenishment of the settlement’s storage facilities with a sufficient amount of material, so we will dwell on the 1st in more detail.
How to make a sawmill
The sawmill opens at level 1 settlements. Go to the construction menu and select it for a location in the open world from the list of available working tools in the tab "Useful Items". Build the sawmill under a roof - in a building or under a canopy - because... it doesn't work in the rain. The materials needed to create the device are laid out under the player's feet:
- Wood - 8;
- Granite - 15.
After building a sawmill, approach it, press the “E” key (on a PC) to interact, select the board recipe from the list, which is loaded by default, and set the amount of resource using +/-. Crafting 1 plank requires 1 unit of wood. It takes about 1 seconds to cut 10 board. During production, it is not necessary to be in the sawmill menu; you can do other things.
Invite settlement NPCs to work at the sawmill to slightly automate the process of producing planks. Do it like this:
- In a dialogue with a resident, select the line “Let’s talk about work”;
- Next, tell him “Help the settlement”;
- Then select a specialization: “Work with resources” and “Process wood.”
After giving instructions, approach the settler from time to time and ask him about the results of his work: he will randomly give various preparations in small quantities, but only those whose recipes have been loaded into the sawmill. Naturally, boards will often be found among the results of his work.
