Crafting is one of the most important mechanics in 99 Nights in the Forest, allowing the player to craft things such as farm plots, beds, and other various items/tools/devices to aid them in their survival. Some of these items have a white circle with a certain number inside. This indicates how many of a certain item can be crafted during one run. Crafting works by putting certain materials into the Grinder located to the east of the Campfire or to the left of the crafting bench. Materials that give scrap/wood will have wood/scrap symbols to show how much scrap they give (for example, a Broken Fan will have two nails [🔩🔩] on top of it to show that it gives 2 Scrap).
