How to Craft a Power Cell in LEGO Fortnite

Your new vehicle cannot go without an engine and to craft an engine you will need Power Cells. Power Cells can be made at the Crafting Bench using 50 x Biomass and 6 x Glass.

Before you can craft Power Cells, you will need to unlock the recipe by having Biomass in your Inventory. To do so, the first step is to build a Compost Bin from 5 x Planks, 2 x Soil, 1 x Sand, and 3 x Fertilizer. You can craft it via your Build Menu in the Utility section.

Once you have a Compost Bin you can fill it with unwanted organic resources such as meat, bone, plants or wool. The Compost Bin will then turn your resources into either Fertilizer, Soil, or Biomass. This process is random so you may need to put a lot of your organic materials through before you get enough Biomass to produce enough Power Cells.

The Compost Bin will eventually produce Biomass so keep feeding it any spare organic resources to get enough to build at least one Power Cell. The more Power Cells you have, the further your vehicle can travel.

At the Crafting Bench, scroll across to the equipment tab where you also find Torches and Gliders. Here you will find the Power Cell. Craft as many as you need to fit into the Power Center for your vehicle. Remember: a large vehicle will need a large Power Center and more Power Cells!

Now you have your Power Cells you can craft either one of the three new vehicles or try to create one of your own. Next up, see how to craft a Launch Pad or make your own Fishing Rod in LEGO Fortnite.
