How to Acquire Knotroot Rods in LEGO Fortnite

Knotroot Rods can be a challenging item to come by in the early stages of LEGO Fortnite, but they are crucial for creating tools to advance in the game. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of obtaining Knotroot Rods, including finding Knotroot and constructing the Lumber Mill.

How to Obtain Knotroot

Caves serve as the main source of Knotroot in LEGO Fortnite. Explore rocky and mountainous regions or use a Compass to locate them on the map. Before entering a cave, make sure you have food and Charms as it can be challenging for new players.

When exploring caves, keep an eye out for roots that are twisted into knots – this is Knotroot. While hitting it with a Common Forest Axe will only yield regular wood, breaking it with an Uncommon Forest Axe or higher rarity is necessary to obtain Knotroot Rods. You may also need to build or activate “Player Fly Mode” to reach Knotroot on the ceiling.

The Lumber Mill can be built with 8 Wood and 15 Granite and is located in the Utility section of the Build menu. Once established, it can be used to craft various items like Planks and Rods from different types of wood. You can also assign Villagers to work at the Lumber Mill and generate wooden goods.

After placing the Lumber Mill, interact with it and select the Knotroot Rod recipe. Insert your Knotroot, wait for it to transform into Knotroot Rods, and you’re good to go!

Knotroot Rods are versatile items that can be used to create Fishing Rods, Shovels, and the Uncommon Pickaxe required for mining Marble. Looking for a way to use your fish? Consider trying your hand at making Simple Sushi!
