All 59 Materials in 99 Nights in the Forest: How Do You Get Each One?

Materials in 99 Nights in the Forest are the items you save because they turn into camp upgrades, crafting progress, trader value, warm gear, potion brewing, or late-run Meteor Anvil crafts. A good farming plan checks what drops, what it is used for, and whether the source is safe, risky, event-origin, or tied to a biome or boss route.

Meteor and Obsidiron materials

6 items

Meteor and Obsidiron materials belong to the Meteor Anvil route. Meteor Shards and Gold Shards come from Meteor sources, while Obsidiron moves through a processing chain before it becomes the ingot used in Meteor Anvil recipes.

Meteor Shard

Type: Meteor material
Status: Current
source: Meteor Crabs, Meteor Crystals, and Obsidiron Crystals
location: Meteor Shower and Meteor Workshop routes
crafting / use: Meteor Anvil recipes
farming tip: Save shards for Meteor Anvil crafts because every listed Meteor Anvil recipe spends them.
Risk: Meteor event route
rarity / value: Meteor Anvil material

Gold Shard

Type: Meteor material
Status: Current
source: Meteor Crystals and Obsidiron Crystals
location: Meteor Shower and Meteor Workshop routes
crafting / use: Meteor Anvil trim kits and Obsidiron Chest Blueprint
farming tip: Keep Gold Shards for trim kits or blueprint crafting instead of treating them as generic loot.
Risk: Meteor event route
rarity / value: Meteor Anvil material

Raw Obsidiron Ore

Type: Obsidiron material
Status: Current
source: Mine an Obsidiron Crystal with an Axe
location: Meteor/Volcanic route
crafting / use: Process into Raw Obsidiron Ore (Shard), then Scalding Obsidiron Ingot, then Obsidiron Ingot
farming tip: This is the first step of the Obsidiron Ingot chain, not the final crafting ingredient.
Risk: Meteor/Volcanic processing route
rarity / value: Obsidiron chain step 1

Raw Obsidiron Ore (Shard)

Type: Obsidiron material
Status: Current
source: Smash Raw Obsidiron Ore against the ground
location: Meteor/Volcanic processing route
crafting / use: Process into Scalding Obsidiron Ingot
farming tip: Do not stop here; the shard still needs the lava and water steps before it becomes a usable ingot.
Risk: Meteor/Volcanic processing route
rarity / value: Obsidiron chain step 2

Scalding Obsidiron Ingot

Type: Obsidiron material
Status: Current
source: Dip Raw Obsidiron Ore (Shard) in lava
location: Lava processing route
crafting / use: Process into Obsidiron Ingot by dipping it in water
farming tip: Keep going to the water step; Scalding Obsidiron Ingot is an intermediate state.
Risk: Volcanic processing route
rarity / value: Obsidiron chain step 3

Obsidiron Ingot

Type: Obsidiron material
Status: Current
source: Dip Scalding Obsidiron Ingot in water
location: Water processing route after lava step
crafting / use: Meteor Anvil recipes, including Obsidiron Boots and Obsidiron Chest Blueprint
farming tip: This is the final chain item and the one Meteor Anvil recipes actually spend.
Risk: Volcanic processing route
rarity / value: Final Obsidiron material

How to farm the material you are missing

Start from the item you are missing, then choose the safest route that can actually produce it. Early runs usually need Logs, Chairs, Wood, Scrap, and basic fuel first. Once the camp is stable, structure looting and fishing help fill Scrap and fuel gaps without forcing every route into combat. After that, pelts, Cultist Gems, Forest Gem Fragments, potion ingredients, and Meteor materials become specific goals instead of random pickups.

Goal	Best first route	What to watch
Keep the Campfire alive	Logs, Coal, Fuel Canisters, Oil Barrels, and corpses found on your route	Do not spend all carry space on fuel if your next craft needs Wood or Scrap.
Build normal recipes	Grind Logs, Chairs, and scrapable objects	Chairs, high-value scrap objects, and late-route scrap are usually worth more than tiny pickups.
Prepare trader or workshop crafts	Save Bunny Foot, Wolf Pelt, Alpha Wolf Pelt, Bear Pelt, and later biome drops	Some drops become Bandages, warm clothing, Tool Workshop items, or boss/biome gear.
Push late crafting	Farm Cultist Gems, Forest Gem Fragments, Meteor Shards, Gold Shards, and Obsidiron materials	These routes are slower or riskier, so plan them after your camp and gear are stable.

What to save before spending

Wood and Scrap are easy to understand but easy to waste. Logs can fuel the Campfire, but they can also become Wood. Scrapable objects can look like clutter, but they decide how quickly recipes, ammo, and workshop items come together. If a night is already safe, saving a resource for crafting can be better than throwing everything into the fire.

Pelts and entity drops need the same patience. Bunny Foot and Wolf Pelt help with Bandages and early trade routes. Bear Pelt, Alpha Wolf Pelt, Mammoth Tusk, Scorpion Shell, and Cultist King Antler are harder to replace because their sources are stronger enemies, colder biomes, Volcanic routes, or boss fights. Turn extras into Biofuel only after you know the next recipe or trader goal does not need them.

Forest Gem progress is split on purpose. Forest Gem Fragments are the pieces you find from late routes, while the full Forest Gem is made by merging four fragments. Do not plan Crafting Bench Tier 5, Weather Machine, Temporal Accelerometer, or Respawn Capsule work until you have enough fragments for the full gem.

When risk and availability change the route

Risk is the route cost behind a material. Safe gathering means you can usually grab the item while moving around camp or normal structures. Combat, boss, cold-biome, Volcanic, alien, and Meteor routes need more preparation because the source can slow or end a run. Availability tells you whether the source is a normal current route or something tied to an event-origin path such as Trick-or-Treating.

Why food and one-off parts stay out

Ordinary food, normal taming bait, and Stew are excluded from Materials because their main job is hunger, healing, cooking, or taming. They belong with Food or Tameable Animals, where hunger value, bait requirements, and animal-specific use can be explained without crowding the material rows. Anvil Parts are also excluded because they assemble the Tool Workshop or Meteor Anvil rather than behaving like repeatable farmed materials.

FAQ

How many materials are in 99 Nights in the Forest?

The count is 59 material rows: 16 fuel and camp resources, 14 scrap sources, 9 core and trade resources, 9 pelts and entity drops, 5 potion ingredients, and 6 Meteor or Obsidiron materials.

How do you get Scrap in 99 Nights in the Forest?

Scrap comes from grinding scrapable objects. Early routes include Bolts, Sheet Metal, Broken Fans, Tires, Old Car Engines, and similar map or structure loot. UFO and cultist scrap items are stronger route rewards, but they come from more dangerous sources.

How do you get Forest Gems?

Farm Forest Gem Fragments from late routes such as Cultist Stronghold, Ice Temple, high-value chests, 100+ day cultist raids, and fishing when available. Merge four fragments to make one full Forest Gem for Crafting Bench Tier 5 and top-tier structures.

Which pelts and drops should you save?

Save Bunny Foot and Wolf Pelt early because they feed Bandage and trade routes. Save Alpha Wolf Pelt, Bear Pelt, Arctic Fox Pelt, Polar Bear Pelt, Mammoth Tusk, Scorpion Shell, and Cultist King Antler for workshop, warm clothing, or late-biome crafting before turning extras into fuel.

Why are food, taming bait, Stew, and Anvil Parts not listed?

Food and bait are better explained with hunger, cooking, and animal requirements. Stew is a finished food, not a normal material pickup. Anvil Parts assemble workshop stations instead of acting like repeatable farming resources.

Are event-origin materials included?

Permanent material-like rows can stay when they have a useful source note. Mandrake is marked as event-origin because its checked source is Trick-or-Treat houses, so it should not be treated like a normal always-available farm route.
