The 99 Nights in the Forest Snow Biome update introduces a major expansion that transforms the way players survive, explore, and progress. With a new snow zone, unique animals, special crafting stations, and exclusive event badges, this update challenges players to adapt to harsh environments and unlock powerful rewards. Here’s a comprehensive guide to making the most of everything the Snow Biome update has to offer.
How to Unlock and Survive in the Snow Biome
Accessing the Snow Biome requires upgrading your base campfire and extending your territory to reach the snow-covered border. Once inside, you’ll immediately notice that cold weather is your greatest enemy. Unlike other areas, your health will slowly decline due to freezing temperatures unless you’re equipped with warm gear.
To survive, seek out the Warm Crafting hut near the snow border. Inside, you’ll find a unique crafting table dedicated to making warm clothing—an absolute necessity in this biome. Only here can you craft items such as Ear Muffs, Beanie, Arctic Fox Hat, and Polar Bear Hat. These items are essential to slow down or halt the freezing effect, allowing for deeper exploration and longer survival.
New Animals and How to Craft Survival Gear
The Snow Biome introduces three exclusive animals:
Arctic Fox: Drops Arctic Fox Pelt, a key material for several warm gear recipes.
Polar Bear: Drops Polar Bear Pelt, used to craft the Polar Bear Hat—the best cold protection available.
Woolly Mammoth: The toughest new foe, providing large amounts of food but demanding strong weapons and healing supplies to defeat.
Start by hunting Arctic Foxes for their pelts, as they are easier targets and let you quickly craft basic warm gear like Ear Muffs or the Arctic Fox Hat. Once better equipped, you can attempt to take down Polar Bears for higher-level gear. Hunting Woolly Mammoths should be done with care, ideally with upgraded weapons and plenty of healing items.
Crafting Recipes at the Warm Crafting Hut:
Ear Muffs: Arctic Fox Pelt + string (light, early cold protection)
Beanie: Standard cloth (basic, easy to craft)
Arctic Fox Hat: Arctic Fox Pelt (good balance of protection and material availability)
Polar Bear Hat: Polar Bear Pelt (maximum cold resistance)
Remember, these items can only be crafted at the designated crafting hut within the Snow Biome.
Exploring Hidden Structures, Weapons, and Armor
Beyond wildlife, the Snow Biome is filled with secrets. Explore the region to find new weapons, armor, and hidden structures—some only accessible after overcoming environmental or combat challenges. Keep an eye out for cult-like areas and ancient temples, which may house unique loot or puzzle elements.
Many powerful items and crafting materials are guarded by strong enemies or hidden in remote corners of the snow zone. Exploration and preparation are both key: never venture far without warm clothing, adequate food, and backup healing.
Snow Biome Event Badges: How to Get Them
The update brings four limited-time event badges, each with distinct requirements:
Puzzle Snowman Badge (Cultist Gem Badge): Complete a special snowman puzzle hidden in the biome.
Crafting Milestone Badge: Make warm clothing items at the Snow Biome crafting station.
Hunting Badge: Defeat a set number of Arctic Foxes, Polar Bears, or Woolly Mammoths.
Exploration Badge: Discover secret structures or hidden zones in the snowy wilderness.
Complete all badge challenges before the event ends to claim exclusive rewards. These badges not only reward your achievements but also add extra incentive to explore and master every corner of the Snow Biome.
