99 Nights: your Teleporter needs another destination to work

Evergreen guide. Researched: October 15, 2026 (UTC).

Quick answer

You need two placed Teleporters, not just one. The recipe unlocks at a level 4 Crafting Bench. Each unit costs 15 Wood, 25 Scrap and 1 Cultist Gem.

Budget before crafting

A pair requires 30 Wood, 50 Scrap and 2 Cultist Gems, calculated by doubling the recipe. Bench upgrades are not included. If you have just reached level 4, reserve materials for both ends: spending everything on the first leaves the connection incomplete.

Plan a route you will use

Editorial recommendation: keep one end accessible in camp and place the other near a resource area you revisit. Choose the destination before placing at random. Two devices close together cost the same materials while solving little travel.

Test the connection

1. Confirm the Teleporter recipe at bench 4 and craft two units.
2. Place one end in camp.
3. Carry and place the second at your chosen destination.
4. Interact with one and follow your session's destination selector to travel to the other.
5. Check where you arrive and test the return before relying on the route.

If it takes you nowhere

First check that two units are placed, rather than one remaining uninstalled. Do not confuse the per-device cost with the pair's budget, or Cultist Gem with Gem of the Forest. This recipe does not require bench 5.

Success means traveling between both points and returning. Checklist: bench 4; two-unit budget; both placed; recognizable destination; round trip checked. Transport does not replace supplying and defending camp.
