The Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit is an item exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in Return of Them. It is dropped by the Lord of the Fruit Flies. Only one can exist on the surface world and one in the caves at a time, and it cannot be carried from the surface into the caves or vice versa.

The Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit spawns one Friendly Fruit Fly. The Friendly Fruit Fly follows the Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit. If the Friendly Fruit Fly is killed, the Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit starts to spoil in 6 days, and the next Lord of the Fruit Flies killed will drop a new Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit.

The Friendly Fruit Fly is spawned by the Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit and follows it. It visits nearby Farm Plants to make them happy, one at a time. It will not tend to Weeds.

It will search in a radius of roughly five Tiles of itself, or 20 metres, rather than checking within a radius of its Fruit. This means the Fruit Fly can "chain" from one Farm Plant inside its normal radius to one outside its normal radius.

Tips

• Paired with the heavy Rains of Spring, the Friendly Fruit Fly can make Farm Plants produce Giant Vegetables with little to no input from the player.
• In larger farms, it may be wise to use a Gramaphone alongside the Friendly Fruit Fly. While the Fly will not even sleep if plants need to be tended, it can still only tend to Farm Plants so fast.

Trivia

• The Friendly Fruit Fly Fruit and the Friendly Fruit Fly were introduced in the Reap What You Sow update.
