Watermelon Lantern
–Wurt
A Watermelon Lantern or Melon O'Lantern is a stationary light source, though it can be carried in the inventory and (re)placed any time. It requires 1 Watermelon and 1 Fireflies to craft and an Alchemy Engine to prototype. It only illuminates during dusk and night.
The Watermelon Lantern perishes (leaving nothing) after being on the ground for 8 minutes in summer, 10 minutes (1 ¼ game days) in Autumn and spring and after 13 minutes 20 seconds (about 1 ¾ game days) in Winter. Once on the ground, it can be picked up by pressing the Space Key at any time or by Left Mouse Button (LMB) while not having any tools or weapons equipped; otherwise, it will be attacked and smashed, leaving the Fireflies behind (which can be seen at night). The Watermelon Lantern's perish/spoilage timer will not reset when picked up and deposited on the ground again.
Trivia
- The Watermelon Lantern was added in the Hooded Forest update, which came out October 31st. Just in time for Halloween!
