How to get ingredients (web, egg, fuel, leaf meat)

Spider Webs. A very simple way to farm spider webs is by using traps. Spiders and Spider Warriors never bypass traps and will rush head-on toward the character or monster that agitated them. Spiders die instantly and drop loot.

Another good strategy for stocking up on spider webs is to first kill three Spider Lairs or the Spider Queen to obtain a Spider Lair Egg, which allows you to place spiders anywhere on the map. Now you need to leave the egg in the center of the Pig Village, and as soon as the spiders emerge from the lair, the Pigs will instantly kill them, dropping the loot on the floor and ignoring the source of their spawn. The only drawback is that you'll have to quickly collect the monster's meat, as the Pigs eat it eagerly. Ideally, a Spider Lair should be destroyed when it reaches level three, unless you have good gear in your inventory or want to obtain a Spider Cap. A typical 3-level lair leaves an egg that can be placed again to restart the process without having to deal with the Spider Queen.

This is a Tall Bird Egg. In addition to being cooked and eaten, it also has a chance of hatching a small, player-friendly bird. To do this, place the egg near a fire for 10 seconds until it begins to crack. Three days will pass before the small bird hatches. A cracked egg can also be eaten, restoring 23 hunger and 5 health. 

A cracked egg thrives during the day and dusk, but becomes cold at night, requiring placement near a fire to maintain warmth. If left in the cold for 30 seconds at night, the egg will freeze and turn to trash. Conversely, placing it near a fire during the day will yield a cooked egg in the same amount of time. Temperature has no effect on the egg at dusk, but in winter, it must be kept warm at all times. Examples:

The hatching process will not stop if the egg is taken into inventory/placed on the ground, so don't worry.

Spider-loving pigs can and will eat it as a food source. 

A small bird will grow into a medium one in 11 days.

The average one will turn into an adult in another 11 days. 

The adult tall bird has the same aggressive behavior as the others.

Dead Fuel. Black Hares will appear when a character's Sanity drops below 40% (80 for most characters and the WX-78 Robot, depending on the gear upgrade), and then they can be killed for Dread Fuel (as well as monster meat and beard wisps). Tactic: catch as many hares as you can until your Sanity drops to 40%, then kill them all. However, killing so many innocent creatures increases the chance of Krampus appearing in your life and camp.

Another method involves killing two types of Dark Creatures. The Creeping Horror is easier to deal with than the Fanged Monster, and remember that their death increases the character's Sanity by 40 points. A third, most harmless strategy for obtaining Night Fuel is to find Evil Flowers, catch bees with a net, and release them onto the flowers. This will automatically spawn more Evil Blossoms for crafting Dead Fuel.

Leaf Meat. The Meat Blossom, also known as the Decoy Blossom, is a hostile plant that lures prey with a dangling piece of meat. When ready to create bait but lacking meat, the plant will yield Leaf Meat. Once harvested, all nearby Eye Blossoms will disappear, and the Blossom will return to its original state as a normal flower. No new Leaf Meat will be produced until the Decoy Blossom restores its ability to produce Eye Blossoms, which takes two in-game days. Trying to speed up the process by harvesting prematurely will fail. There is no loot during winter.

Killing the plant will also yield Leaf Meat, along with any other items it has collected. During combat, the Decoy Blossom is passive and has no defensive capabilities, unlike its surrounding Eye Blossom relatives. The plant doesn't thrive in gardens, rocky soil, or spider webs. It's best planted in large areas where the eye flowers will grow.
