Calvy Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hi guys, i am new to the game sorry for the sily question. I manage to survive till day 39, now my probem is not the food or the dark but is the strike from the lighting!!! So i want to put the "thingy" to protect my camp but i cant see the radius that will protect... do i have to change something in the settings? If yes, what i have to change? Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlrust Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think there are mods on the workshop that will show you how far the rod covers when you click on it, but if you want a different approach to measure it yourself here's a link to the wiki page for the lightning rod that explains the process in depth https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sovon9 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 @Calvy It will provide protection from Lightning strikes that originate 40 units from placement spot. That's a 40 unit radius and 80 unit diameter horizontally/vertically, and a 28.28 unit radius and 56.56 unit diameter diagonally. Lightning may originate outside the lightning rod protection radius, and strike target inside the protection zone To connect protection areas with multiple Rods using simple math, players should leave 14 Pitchfork tiles between each Rod horizontally/vertically. Imagine each zone as a square of 56 units in length by width instead of a circle for easier comprehension. If each Rod is placed 14 Pitchfork tiles between one another horizontally/vertically, it will create a protection grid with minimum excess overlaps. https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Rod Hope this will help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base game has its own range check for the flingomatic. You will need to have something in your hand ready to plant/build like a pine cone or wall. If you do want a mod then you could try something like this - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=804549021&searchtext=fling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
