99 Nights: how to build a semi-automatic stew kitchen

Quick answer

Place a Crock Pot above the point where a Farm Plot grows crops. Some crops may enter the pot without being carried individually. This is a semi-automatic setup: check ingredient contact and collect the finished stew.

Requirements

You need a crafted plot and pot, space at camp, and access to their blueprints at your crafting bench. Check current materials and unlock requirements there; preserve your fuel reserve.

Setup steps

1. Place the plot and locate its crop spawn positions.
2. Position the pot above that point, keeping collection access clear.
3. Watch a harvest and check whether ingredients enter.
4. If crops remain outside, move them manually and adjust the pot.
5. Remove each finished stew to allow the next preparation.
6. Add more plots only once the first setup works.

Why start small

Editorial advice: a simple setup makes it easier to distinguish positioning problems from collection problems. In a team, assign someone to check the pot; when solo, check it on resource runs back to camp.

Common mistakes

A full pot does not mean continuous production. Crops may need manual help, and the setup is not guaranteed to behave identically after game changes. It does not replace maintaining the campfire or defending camp.

Check the result

The loop works when ingredients enter, you collect a stew, and the pot can continue. If you must move every crop manually, check positioning before expanding.

Checklist

• Plot and pot remain accessible.
• Crop contact checked.
• Finished stew collected.
• Campfire and reserves maintained.
