The Moon Dial is a craftable structure exclusive to Don't Starve Together , introduced in A New Reign . It is found in the Magic Filter or Structures Filter , requires a Blue Moonlens , 2 Moon Rock and 2 Ice to craft, and a Prestihatitator to prototype.
The Moon Dial can be used to track the Moon Cycle , which is reflected in the water inside the structure. The closer the world is to a full moon, the higher the water level will be, with the Moon Dial overflowing during a full moon. The Moon Dial also provides light depending on the current moon phase, with the new moon causing the Moon Dial to emit no light, and the full moon causing it to emit the most light.
The Moon Dial shows the Moon Cycle for any time of the day, but during nighttime, the player may inspect the dial for a different quote, depending on where the moon is in the cycle. A Moon Dial built in the Caves will not work, and character examination quotes will be different.
The Moon Dial can be useful when playing as Woodie , as it can be a more obvious indicator of when a Full Moon is about to occur.
When the Mysterious Energy is summoned, the Moon Dial will glass over. After the Celestial Champion is defeated, the Moon Dial will drop a Moon Shard .
