What to Expect in the Crafting Update
The Crafting Update introduces the recycler as a major new feature. This machine lets you transform materials into other stuff, giving you a way to convert valuable materials you don't need into resources you actually want. The log wall gate becomes a new buildable structure for protecting your base. The totem pole serves as a map marker system. Building totem poles lets you mark important locations on your map so you can find them again later.
Several other crafting things will be added beyond the main features mentioned. These extra additions might include new recipes, building materials, or small improvements to existing crafting systems.
That's all you need to know about the Crafting Update coming to 99 Nights in the Forest. Mark your calendar for March 21st at 12:00 PM EST (9:00 AM PST) and get ready to craft with the new recycler, gates, and totem poles. Don't miss these helpful crafting improvements!
