Epic Games has released the latest batch of Lego Fortnite patch notes ahead of tomorrow’s update with a farming focus.
Animals have always existed in Lego Fortnite since it launched back in December, but the next update coming to the mode will let you become even closer with them, with Epic Games confirming farming for the mode.
Players will be able to build Animal Houses, befriend the various animals across the land – including the brand new pigs (by bribing them with food, of course), and keeping them happy to harvest some brand new materials such as Wool, Milk, Feathers, and… Fertilizer (don’t think too hard about that one).
We’ve got the full list of Lego Fortnite Patch Notes below, so you can get a sneak peek at what’s arriving in tomorrow’s update.
The animals are ready to moooooooooooooove in
It’s never lonely at the farm! The Farm Friends update increases the Village recruitment cap to ten per Village. Three Village slots are available to Villagers, three slots are available to animals, and four slots are available to Villagers OR animals.
Animals you can recruit to your Village include cows, sheep, chickens, and a new animal arriving with this update: pigs!
How to Tame and Recruit Animals
Build an Animal House
You’ll need to gain the trust of wild animals before you can lead them back to your Village. But before they’re ready to follow you, you’re gonna need to build them a new home: an Animal House.
The Animal House is a new Station, made for feeding your animals and farming resources. You’ll unlock the Animal House recipe once your Village reaches Level 2!
A Friend with Feed is a Friend Indeed
The way to an animal’s heart is through its stomach. Build the trust of wild animals by petting them, then gain their friendship by giving them an Animal Treat! Unlock the recipe for Animal Treats by building an Animal House.
Be the Shepard
If the animal accepts your delicious treat, you’ve got a limited amount of time to get them back to your Village. Make sure their journey back is a peaceful one — any unpleasant encounters could upset them so much that they give you the hoof! Get creative with how you lead an animal back to your Village. Lure them into a vehicle for a quick journey, use a Fishing Rod to pull them across tight spots, or cross barriers by building bridges! If the animal gets hurt on the journey, make sure to heal them by giving them another Animal Treat.
Assign Animals to Animal Houses and Keep Them Happy!
When you’ve braved the journey back, it’s time to put a roof over your new companion’s head! Interact with an Animal House to assign your animal its new home, and to name it from a selection of names. (Only one animal can be assigned per Animal House.) Once they’re settled in, it’s your job to ensure they enjoy life on the farm. Keep your animals happy by feeding them, petting them, or having a boogie next to them! You can also build objects for them to interact with. If your animals feel ignored, they won’t stick around for long. We recommend assigning a Villager to take good care of them when you’re not around!
Resources Galore
We reap what we sow. Take good care of your animals and you’ll be rewarded with new resources to help you out:
* Chickens produce Feathers and Fertilizer over time.
* Cows produce Milk and Fertilizer over time.
* Sheep produce Wool and Fertilizer over time.
* Pigs produce Mushrooms and Fertilizer over time.
New Villagers
Five new Villagers are ready to lend a helping hand and separate the wheat from the chaff! Cadence is a master woodworker, Ash is wild about plants, and Brooks is all about channeling nature’s beat! As for the bright and cheerful engineer Lana Llane, she can’t wait to settle in a Village and find some new projects to work on. And then there’s Guernsey. Guernsey is… one of a kind.
Beware The Bear!
Farm Friends is all about making new friends, whether they’re animals or Villagers. That said, not all of the animals like to play nice… Bear = bad. Don’t let Bears follow you back to your Village because you’ll never hear the end of it. Thankfully, they’re quite sleepy and can be easily avoided… as long as you’re quiet.
New Animal Variants
Farming has never looked so fantastic. Farm Friends adds new variants for animals:
* Brown and tan chickens spawn in the Dry Valley.
* Yellow chickens spawn in the Grasslands.
* Cows now have different spot patterns and colors. Try to find every variant of animal in the wild!
Anarchy Acres Bundle
Organized chaos, organically farmed. The Anarchy Acres Bundle is available from the Shop for 800 V-Bucks and includes:
* Fully Furnished Farm – LEGO Kit with 3 Builds, the Homestead Interiors Decor Bundle, and Rural Hospitality Decor Bundle (This Kit is 600 V-Bucks individually.)
* Farmer’s Favorites – LEGO Decor Bundle with 9 Decor items (This Bundle is 400 V-Bucks individually.)
Major improvements, adjustments, and bug fixes
Village Square improvements
The Village Square UI has been revamped to help you keep a close eye on your Villages:
* Monitor who lives in your Village, the backstories of your Villagers, and the happiness of your animals.
* You can also view the jobs of Villagers and even ask them to leave.
* You can see who’s visiting your Village, which jobs are assigned, the biome you’re in, and your Village’s upgrade requirements.
* You can also edit your Village banner and rename your Village from a selection of names. (Another Village improvement: you can now choose from a selection of names when first setting up your Village.)
Graze upon these bug fixes
* Fixed an issue where stamina would sometimes become enabled in worlds where stamina was turned off.
* Fixed an issue where saplings couldn’t be destroyed if they were growing near other objects.
* Fixed an issue where swords would sometimes stop doing damage.
* Fixed an issue where the first attack from swords would sometimes miss.
* Fixed an issue that caused some Pickaxes to stop doing damage to certain objects.
* Villagers no longer pester players when players are regenerating Health.
* Starting a sneak while sprinting no longer makes players stuck in sprinting.

And that’s everything included in the Lego Fortnite patch notes for Update 29.30. Lego Fortnite seems to get the most updates out of the three side-modes, so we can’t imagine you’ll need to wait too much longer for the next one.
