Infinity Nikki is the first open-world game in the Nikki dress-up franchise, and we all know what open worlds involve: an abundance of resources that sporadically respawn once you’ve hoovered them all up, helpfully ensuring that you’re never responsible for simultaneous in-universe deforestation and soft-locking your game because you can’t craft anything new.
There’s something quite funny about the concept of Nikki’s array of gorgeous dresses being crafted out of odd bits of flora and fauna she picks up off the ground, but it’s not like this is the first game ever to ask you to suspend your disbelief when it comes to what you can craft out of three mushrooms and a pinecone.
Read on for a list of the spawn locations we’ve observed for every crafting resource in Infinity Nikki, as well as a brief explainer on how to track crafting materials using the Collections notebook.

How to track materials in Infinity Nikki
Bless Infinity Nikki for launching with one of the most helpful quality-of-life features in open world games already in place: the ability to track resources and materials.
To unlock the tracking ability in Infinity Nikki, you just need to progress as far as a scripted story beat in the Accident at the Clothing Store main quest, which pops up about halfway through Chapter 1.
After this point, you can track any of the above materials provided you’ve already collected them at least once.
To track a material, you just need to select the notebook icon from the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, which takes you to your Collections tab. From here you can select the material of your choice and hit the Track button on its notebook entry, which will highlight an area of the map where the resource in question can be found.
Tracking will usually highlight the location of the chosen resource that’s closest to you. Once you’ve picked up everything relevant in the area, the tracker will highlight a new area of the map with the resource available so that you can keep collecting.
