Crafting in 99 Nights in the Forest turns materials into survival tools, defenses, travel shortcuts and camp upgrades. Crafting Bench tiers, the Tool Workshop Anvil and the Meteor Anvil handle different recipes. Start with the station and its unlock requirements, then gather materials for the result you need.

Crafting Bench Tier 1

Which station unlocks each recipe tier
The Crafting Bench is the main camp path. Tier 1 starts with low-cost survival pieces such as Map, Bunny Trap, Old Bed, and the first bench upgrade. Tier 2 adds navigation, storage, farming, walls, gates, traps, and the Tier 3 upgrade. Tier 3 is where camp utility opens up with Crock Pot, Biofuel Processor, Torch, Lightning Rod, Boost Pad, and the Tier 4 upgrade. Tier 4 spends Cultist Gems on stronger support like Ammo Crate, Oil Drill, Teleporter, Giant Bed, and the Tier 5 upgrade. Tier 5 spends Gem of the Forest on devices such as Respawn Capsule, Temporal Accelerometer, Weather Machine, and Recycler.
The Tool Workshop is a separate station. You need to find the structure, clear the enemies, assemble the anvil, and then choose a craft. Hammer, Bandage, and the helmets are workshop staples or biome variants. Chainsaw, Riot Shield, Tactical Shotgun, and Thorn Body are random workshop-slot recipes, so do not choose one until you are ready to commit materials.
The Meteor Anvil appears after a Meteor Shower changes the workshop into its meteor version. Its recipes use Meteor Shards, Gold Shards, and Obsidiron Ingots instead of the normal Wood, Scrap, pelt, and Cultist Gem loop. Those rows are late-run upgrades or meteor rewards, not early camp goals.
What should you craft first during a run
- Pick the station first. A Tier 4 recipe does not matter until the bench reaches Tier 4, and a Meteor Anvil recipe does not matter until the meteor workshop exists.
- Check the listed materials before walking back to camp. Wood and Scrap recipes are easy to retry. Cultist Gems, Gem of the Forest, pelts, Meteor Shards, Gold Shards, and Obsidiron Ingots are slower to replace.
- Read the use case before spending rare materials. Map and Compass help routing, Farm Plot and Crock Pot support food, Log Wall and Log Gate help defense, Ammo Crate supports gun runs, and Teleporter changes map travel once you can place enough of them.
- Read the limits before you craft. Bunny Trap, Farm Plot, Torch, and Bear Trap have caps, and Teleporter needs two or more placed units before it solves travel.
Recipes with caveats
Most rows have a clear station, cost, use and availability. A few need a note.
Farm Plot may cost 10 Wood or 20 Wood, so check the bench before you gather. The Tactical Shotgun and Thorn Body costs may be incomplete, so check the full recipe at the anvil. The Mammoth Helmet needs the Snow Biome version, and the Obsidiron pieces come from the Meteor Anvil, so check which version you have before you plan around them.
Removed and event-only craftables stay in their own section. Freezer is a removed recipe, while Flower Pot, Spooky Crockpot, and Thanksgiving Crock Pot belong to event routes. Keep those rows as reference, not normal current-run targets.
FAQ
How many crafting recipes are listed for 99 Nights in the Forest?
There are 50 crafting recipes: 33 current Crafting Bench rows, 1 removed row, 3 event-only rows, 9 Tool Workshop Anvil rows, and 4 Meteor Anvil rows.
Are all crafting costs complete?
Not quite. Most rows are complete, but Farm Plot may cost 10 or 20 Wood, and the Tactical Shotgun and Thorn Body costs may be partial.
What is the difference between the Crafting Bench and the Tool Workshop?
The Crafting Bench is the camp station that upgrades from Tier 1 to Tier 5. The Tool Workshop is a separate structure where players assemble an anvil before crafting workshop items such as Hammer, Bandage, helmets, Chainsaw, Riot Shield, Tactical Shotgun, or Thorn Body.
Why are removed and event-only craftables listed?
They're kept for reference. Freezer is removed, while Flower Pot, Spooky Crockpot, and Thanksgiving Crock Pot are event-only rows rather than normal current-run craft targets.
Why do some crafting rows have a caveat?
Some costs or effects are incomplete, or depend on a biome or event version. Check the station and the full recipe before planning a run around the row.
