How Crafting Works in 99 Nights in the Forest?

- Gather Resources: Collect Wood from trees, Scrap from abandoned buildings, and special materials from enemies
- Process Materials: Materials that give Scrap/Wood will have corresponding symbols to show how much they give (for example, a Broken Fan will have two bolts [🔩🔩] on top of it to show that it gives more Scrap).
- Access Crafting Bench: Interact with the bench using E to open the menu
- Select Recipe: Choose from available recipes based on your bench level
- Craft Item: Submit materials and receive your item instantly
Important Crafting Mechanics
- Some of these items have a white circle with a certain number inside, indicating how many of a certain item can be crafted during a run.
- Recipe Randomization: Tool Workshop offers different recipes each build attempt
- Material Stacking: Grinder can process multiple items simultaneously for efficiency
- Cross-Player Benefits: Crafted structures benefit entire team regardless of builder
