LEGO Fortnite Farm Friends v29.30 Patch Notes - LEGO Fortnite Guide - IGN (2024)

The v29.30 Patch for LEGO Fortnite has arrived, titled the Farm Friends update, bringing recruitable animals to the game, along with an increased Village recruitment cap, and more!

This page acts as a comprehensive breakdown of the v29.30 Patch for LEGO Fortnite, including a link to the full Patch Notes.

Recruiting Animals

As part of this update, the Village recruitment cap has been raised to 10 per village. The breakdown of those 10 slots are as follows:

• 3 exclusively for Villagers
• 3 exclusively for Animals
• 4 for either Villagers or Animals

The recruitable animals in the game are:

• Cows
  • Now with additional spot patterns and colors
• Sheep
• Chickens
  • Brown and tan variations will spawn in the Dry Valley
  • Yellow chickens will spawn in the Grasslands
• Pigs

How to Recruit Animals

In order to recruit animals, you'll need to first build an Animal House in your Village. The Animal House is a new Station, and the recipe for it will be unlocked upon reaching Level 2 within your Village.

With that built, you'll then need to use an Animal Treat after petting them. You'll unlock the recipe for Animal Treats after constructing the aforementioned Animal House.

Once the animal has eaten the treat, you'll have a limited amount of time to lead them back to the Village, and you'll need to try to avoid conflict entirely on the route back. Animals can be transported in a vehicle, can be pulled around by a Fishing Rod, and various other creative methods.

After getting the animal back to the Village, interact with the Animal House to assign the animal to it, and then you'll be able to name the animal for a pre-assigned list of names. In order to keep them around, you'll likely need to assign a Villager to take care of the animals too.

Animal Resources

With animals successfully recruited and housed within your Village, they will eventually reward you with new resources:

• Chickens
  • Feathers and Fertilizer
• Cows
  • Milk and Fertilizer
• Sheep
  • Wool and Fertilizer
• Pigs
  • Mushrooms and Fertilizer

New Villagers

5 new Villagers have been added to the game as part of this update:

• Cadence - Specializes in woodwork
• Ash - Specializes in plants
• Brooks - Specializes in nature
• Lana Llane - Specializes in engineering
• Guernsey - [INFORMATION WITHHELD]

Bears

Bears are a new threat added to the game, and you'll need to be careful not to lead them back to your Village. They can be easily avoided and sleep more often than not, but you'll still need to be vigilant and quiet when you're in the vicinity!
