To create Knotroot Rods for your tools and other assemblies, LEGO Fortnite players must first travel around the world in search of raw Knotroot Wood. There are only a few places where you can find this key resource as you traverse through the various biomes in your procedurally generated space, and we’ve gathered them up below.

To find Knotroot Wood, players must head to the nearest cave system, which can be seen on the map as a small cave icon. Once inside, you’ll see these mangled-looking roots that protrude from the walls and floor. They are relatively light in color.

These are Knotroot Wood deposits and require an uncommon axe to cut. After you cut down these roots, you can finally head over to your base to convert this wood into the Knotroot Rods that you require.

To make Knotroot Rods, players must first build a Lumber Mill from the Utility section in their personal build menu. Once the Lumber Mill is crafted and placed, you’ll be able to convert your raw Knotroot wood in Knotroot Rods.

One Knotroot Wood will create one rod and will be used in countless recipes for upgraded weapons and other tools and builds.

Since Knotroot Rods are one of the most useful resources in the game, players are recommended to farm as much as possible while exploring the caves. Gather a few stacks of Knotroot and you wont have to keep making trips to those dangerous caverns.

Now that you know how to make Knotroot Rods in LEGO Fortnite, it’s time to get out there and find a cave!
