99 Nights in the Forest Recycler Guide: How to Get and Use

The Recycler is a new machine added to 99 Nights in the Forest that converts unwanted items into useful crafting resources. Late-game players often accumulate excess Forest Gems and duplicate items that take up inventory space without serving a purpose. The Recycler solves this problem by letting you break down these items into Cultist Gems and Scrap. Here's how to unlock the Recycler in 99 Nights in the Forest and what you can do with it.

How to Use the Recycler in 99 Nights in the Forest
