99 Nights in the Forest Food

Understanding the Hunger Bar

Your hunger bar drains over time, and faster while sprinting. If the bar empties, you starve to death.

Always keep food on you. Check your hunger before heading out on long trips.

Get into the habit of cooking raw food at the campfire before you eat it.

Finding Food in the Wild

Hunted animals can drop food. Hunt carefully, as some animals fight back.

Crops grow around the map, and loot in buildings may also contain food.

A fishing rod lets you catch fish from water. Look for ponds, lakes, or rivers while you explore.

Cooking Raw Food at the Campfire

The campfire is where you cook raw food.

Cook in batches while you are at camp so you always leave with food ready.

Keep the fire burning. If it goes out, you cannot cook. Always have fuel ready, like logs, coal, or fuel canisters. Rain or blizzards make the fire burn faster.

• Cook raw meat before eating.
• Keep fuel nearby to maintain the fire.
• Cook everything you can before a trip.

Using the Farm Plot

The Farm Plot comes from Tier 2 crafting. Plant seeds to grow food over time. This gives you a renewable food source.

A Farm Plot near your campfire provides a steady supply of food without hunting, which reduces the risk of starving.

Using the Crock Pot

The Crock Pot is unlocked at Tier 3 crafting. It turns raw ingredients into stews.

Use it to make the most of what you hunt and catch. It makes food management much easier for the whole team.

Fishing for Food

Fish only come from fishing, so carry a rod and look for water while you explore.

Fish can be cooked at the campfire like other raw food. They can also be cooked into stews in a Crock Pot.

Fishing is safer than hunting because fish do not fight back.

• Fish in lakes, ponds, or rivers.
• Cook fish at the campfire.
• Fishing is safer than hunting predators.
