Don't Starve Wiki


Magma is an environmental feature found in the Desert biome and is exclusive to Don't Starve Together. They are a part of a new Set Piece found in the Desert, which serves as a spawn point for the Dragonfly. They are used by the Dragonfly to spawn Lavae.

Magma in the Dragonfly Arena setpiece

Magma is often surrounded by small rocks, much like Ponds are surrounded by Plants or Algae. Standing too close to Magma will cause the player, mobs, and most items to catch fire. However it should be noted that there is a slightly larger radius in which the player will take fire damage, but will not be set on fire.

It also glows in the dark, but the magma pool's light radius is too small to be useful, as it doesn't reach past the "burn zone". Its "heat radius" is way bigger than the light radius, so staying near one during winter can avoid freezing.

Magma can be used to cook food, but the player will always catch fire in doing so.
