Crafting is the lifeline of survival in 99 Nights in the Forest. Without it, you won’t last more than a few nights.

From building shelters to fending off hostile creatures and managing your food supply, every single crafting recipe matters.

If you’re looking for the full list of items, benches, and requirements, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Why Crafting is Essential in 99 Nights in the Forest

Unlike many Roblox survival games, 99 Nights in the Forest forces you to juggle multiple mechanics at once – hunger, time management, shelter, and enemy attacks.

The crafting system ties all of these together.

  • Shelter & Defense: Walls, traps, and helmets keep your camp safe from enemies and weather.

  • Food & Survival: Farm plots, crock pots, and freezers make sure you never starve.

  • Progression: Beds, capsules, and accelerometers push the day counter and give you breathing room to plan.

  • Utility & Exploration: Maps, radars, teleporters, and oil drills expand your ability to move, explore, and sustain long runs.

If you don’t craft smart, the forest will eat you alive.

  2. Interact with the Bench – Press E to open the crafting menu.

  3. Select a Recipe – Each recipe shows the required materials.

  4. Submit Materials – If you have the items in your inventory, add them to the bench.

Each upgrade feels like a milestone, giving you better ways to survive late nights and brutal weather conditions.

Tool Workshop & Anvil Crafting

Beyond the main benches, you’ll eventually discover the Tool Workshop (Anvil) – a stone fortress guarded by Cultists. Once cleared and rebuilt, this unlocks advanced gear not tied to bench levels.

Items here include:

  • Hammer – lets you reposition structures.
  • Bandages – revive teammates and heal.
  • Chainsaw – melee weapon and logging tool.
  • Mammoth Helmet / Infernal Helmet – survival gear for extreme biomes.
  • Riot Shield / Thorn Body / Tactical Shotgun – combat-focused gear for late nights.

Unlike the bench, the anvil only lets you craft one item at a time, which adds tension during co-op runs.

Best Items to Craft First

Not every recipe is equally valuable early on. Resources are limited, so knowing what to prioritize makes a huge difference:

  • Map – Essential for navigation, especially in multiplayer.

  • Farm Plot + Crock Pot – Keeps your food supply steady and hunger bar full.

  • Freezer – Prevents food waste when farming and hunting.

  • Bandages – Revive teammates without losing progress.

  • Beds (Old/Regular/Good/Giant) – Crucial for progressing nights.

  • Oil Drill – Late game must-have to sustain fires without wasting wood.

  • Respawn Capsule – End-game item for hardcore runs.

Resource Farming Tips

Crafting materials aren’t endless, so you’ll need efficient farming strategies:

  • Wood: Chop trees or loot logs in abandoned houses.

  • Scrap: Gather from broken furniture, metal chairs, radios, bolts, and scattered junk piles.

  • Animal Parts: Bunny Feet, Wolf Pelts, Mammoth Tusks drop from specific animals.

  • Cultist Gems: Looted from cultists guarding key areas.

  • Gems of the Forest: Rare progression items, often locked behind deeper exploration or boss fights.

Managing your inventory is just as important as crafting itself – always prioritize utility items like traps, food storage, and light sources.

Final Thoughts

Crafting in 99 Nights in the Forest is more than just a feature, it’s the backbone of survival. Every night you survive depends on how well you manage your resources, what you build, and when you choose to upgrade.

If you plan your crafting wisely, focusing on food, shelter, and revival tools, you’ll stand a much better chance against the Wendigo and other night horrors.

Push toward higher bench levels as soon as possible, and don’t ignore the Tool Workshop for combat gear.
