All 99 Nights in the Forest crafting recipes explained
Craft your way to survival with all the 99 Nights in the Forest crafting recipes and perks

99 Nights in the Forest crafting recipes aren't necessarily essential, but if you want to have a much better chance of surviving the long deadly days and nights of Grandma's Favourite Games unique mode, we seriously urge you to use your crafting bench.
Luckily, crafting is fairly simple, as long as you can find the items you need for your chosen recipe. Most of the time, you'll be chopping down trees for Wood or searching abandoned buildings for Scrap. Other times, you'll be heading deeper into the forest and risking your life for precious items.
There's plenty of recipes to choose from, like building a map for 3 Wood that'll show you where you and your campmates are. Or, 2 Scrap to build a shelf that'll work as an extra line of defense around your camp, keeping those naughty cultists and that unnerving deer away for as long as possible. Let's get crafting!
How to use the crafting bench in 99 Nights in the Forest
The crafting bench will be at your camp as soon as you arrive into the game. You simply need to interact with it to open up the crafting recipes and find out which items you need. But, all the crafting recipes won't be available to you just yet.
In order to unlock all the crafting recipes in 99 Nights in the Forest, you need to level up your crafting bench, which involves its own amount of crafting.
To unlock crafting bench level 2, you'll need 5 Wood and 1 Scrap.
For level 3, you'll need 15 Wood and 10 Scrap.
For level 4, 30 Wood, 20 Scrap and 2 Cultist Gems.
For level 5, 50 Scrap, 50 Wood and 1 Gem of the Forest.
After each level is unlocked, you'll have new recipes to craft.
As well as the crafting bench, there's also an Anvil you can unlock, which requires a mini quest of its own to gain access to. Once there, you can craft three extra recipes for useful items you wouldn't normally be able to get hold of so easily – Hammer, Bandages and Chainsaw.
