The Meteor Shower update in 99 Nights in the Forest turns the quiet survival grind into a thrilling scavenger hunt. Huge glowing rocks streak across the red-tinged sky, crash into the wilderness, and leave behind craters filled with rare materials. Learning how to track, mine, and process these meteors is one of the fastest ways to unlock high-tier gear at the Meteor / Lava Anvil.
This guide explains — step by step — how to locate meteor craters, which tools and sacks to bring, how to stay safe from meteor crabs and wolves, and what to do with the materials you collect.
When and Where Meteors Spawn in 99 Nights in the Forest?
- Meteor Shower timing: From Day 5 onward, the event can trigger at any time. An on-screen message (“The sky is on fire”) and a crimson sky confirm meteors are falling.
- Visual tracking: Watch for bright streaks and listen for impact sounds. Meteors do not appear on the in-game map, so you’ll need to move quickly toward visible impacts.
- Crash site clues: Look for scorched terrain, rising smoke, and scattered debris. Even if you miss the exact fall, craters remain for a while and can be found during later exploration.
Tip: Note landmarks near the impact zone before leaving your base — it shortens your search time dramatically.
Tools and Sacks Required
Mining meteors behaves like chopping wood but takes more hits per node. Better gear means faster extraction.
| Category | Options |
| Axes (mining) | Old Axe, Good Axe, Ice Axe, Strong Axe, Chainsaw, Admin Axe |
| Sacks (storage) | Old Sack, Good Sack, Infernal Sack, Giant Sack |
Advice from experienced players: Always bring your strongest axe and the largest sack you can carry. This prevents mid-event breakages and maximizes your haul.
Staying Safe at Crater Sites
Meteor impact zones often spawn Meteor Crabs and wolves. They can interrupt your swings or outright kill you if you’re distracted.
- Approach the crater edge slowly and survey for movement.
- Clear out nearby mobs before you start mining.
- Keep healing items ready — meteor fights can be longer than expected.
Creating a safe perimeter lets you mine without losing precious seconds or materials.
How to Mine Meteors Efficiently
- Equip a qualifying axe from your inventory.
- Stand beside the meteor node and strike repeatedly until it breaks.
- Gather all drops promptly — some may scatter across the crater floor.
- Store everything in your equipped sack so your main inventory stays open for additional nodes.
Meteor Types and Rewards
Meteors appear visually as either Black Ore or Red Crystals. Despite the colour difference, both yield the same valuable loot:
- Meteor Shards
- Raw Obsidian Ore
- Gold Shards
These materials feed directly into the Lava Anvil Tool Workshop in the Anvil Building. Gold Shards are rarer, so plan on mining multiple nodes if you’re aiming for high-tier recipes.

Processing Meteor Loot (Advanced Crafting)
Once you’ve stocked up on meteor materials:
- Assemble the Meteorite / Lava Anvil inside the Anvil Building.
- Refine Raw Obsidiron Ore (some players call it Obsidion) by breaking it, heating it in crater lava, and cooling it in water to form usable ingots.
- Combine Meteor Shards, Gold Shards, and refined ingots at the Anvil to craft advanced blueprints such as the Obsidiron Chest or other late-game gear.
Skipping any processing step will prevent recipes from registering, so follow the sequence carefully.
Tips to Maximise Each Meteor Shower
- Carry a high-durability axe and a large sack every time you explore.
- Travel light to keep inventory slots free.
- Track multiple craters during the same event to multiply your yield.
- React immediately to the “The sky is on fire” alert — the faster you move, the easier it is to find fresh impact zones.
