It is quite frequent to find yourself stuck with a ton of items that aren't of much use in LEGO Fortnite, but the Mechanical Mayhem Update has made it easier to turn them into something meaningful.

Players can access a handy new light source with LEGO Fortnite's Illuminator, and here's everything they need to know.
The Compost Bin can be used to turn organic items into valuable resources. While it can be a bit slow at times, items yielded by it such as Biomass can be a crucial element for powering cars in LEGO Fortnite.
How To Unlock Compost Bin
Before players can get the Compost Bin, having the Lumber Mill on your base is a requirement. The Lumber Mill can be crafted using Wood and Granite. These items are some of the most commonly found items in LEGO Fortnite, so players should have absolutely no trouble finding them. Both wood and granite in LEGO Fortnite can be found scattered across the game's map, so simply exploring should be more than enough to get these items.
Once players have the requirements, they can simply head to the Build Menu to get the Lumber Mill. After interacting with the Lumber Mill once, the Compost Bin will be available for building.

Plank can be obtained by putting Wood in Lumber Mills. Soil can be obtained by digging the ground using a shovel. Sand can be found by heading to the sand biome on the map. Finally, Fertilizers are dropped by domestic animals on the map, so exploring areas abundant in them is the best way to farm them. Additionally, if players are still unable to find some, then feeding animals should boost the production of fertilizers.
How To Use Compost Bin
The Compost Bin can not only be used to get rid of some items in LEGO Fortnite but also to create something meaningful out of it. When players interact with the Compost Bin they will be able to see items that can be used. The Compost Bin has a long processing time, so gamers can place items in a queue to ensure that they can get it working without any delays.
How To Get Biomass (& All Compost Bin Recipes)
The Compost Bin can yield three items in the game, which are as follows.
- Soil
- Fertilizer
- Biomass
A variety of items can be put in the Compost Bin, and players can mix and match them to see what yields what. However, Bones seem to be the most reliable way of getting Biomass in LEGO Fortnite. Players would mostly find them using the Compost Bin for Biomass considering it is required in huge quantities for a crucial item, Power Cells.
