Moon Quay also known as Moon Quay Island is a Don't Starve Together exclusive feature and was introduced in The Curse of Moon Quay update. It is a small, remote island located far out into the Ocean. The main land is covered with Moon Quay Beach Turf with extensions made of Docks.
The island's docks are home to Powder Monkeys spawning from their Monkey Huts. Cannons also appear on the docks and will be used by the monkeys when aggressive. Around the docks empty Pirate Sloops can be found.
The mainland is home to the Queen of Moon Quay surrounded by Monkey Bars. Nearby the queen is also the Unnatural Portal that sits on a dock-filled area. The portal occasionally spits out various items, primarily those related to mobs and resources unique to the island.
Vegetation on the mainland includes Palmcone Trees, Banana Bushes and Monkeytails. Crustashines are a mob that roam the area and provide an amount of light at night.
Other items included on the island are Pirate Banners and pieces of Broken Machinery which can be hammered down for Gears, Cut Stone, and Frazzled Wires.
Tips[]
Tips- Bring rot to fertilize banana transplants (or bring Bananas from the Ruins). Bananas are the only way to get rid of Accursed Trinkets and turn from Wonkey back to the character's original form. They take several days to ripen, so plant and fertilize about a dozen of them from the Unnatural Portal.
- Monkeys will harvest ripe bananas very quickly and bring them to the Queen, taking them out of play - buildinga Fence around the banana bush will prevent monkeys from picking them.
- Monkeys steal the leftmost items in a player's inventory, one at a time, excluding the trinkets, so keeping a stack of cheap items in that slot will prevent irreparable loses.
- Expect a Pirate Raid on approach and every 5 days or so thereafter while boating within 200 tiles.
- Monkeys sleep at night. Plan landing times accordingly.
- One monkey can be separated from a group (for killing it without aggroing other monkeys) by dropping a trail of items, each about 3 tiles apart.
- Burn or hammer Monkey Huts to stop more monkeys from spawning. Hammer the burnt huts for Boards. Note that once you set fire to the hut, a monkey will immediately exit and attack you similar to Merms behaviour.
- Wall off the Unnatural Portal with stone walls and a Wood Gate to keep the occasional monkey that spawns contained, but allow entry for retrieving items. Other walls can be used, but cut stone is plentiful from hammering Broken Machinery and mobs like Pengulls and Hounds can be hard on walls.
- Read each blueprint immediately as the Queen of Moon Quay provides it in exchange a banana. Otherwise, she gives copies of the same blueprint over and over.
- The Monkey Bars surrounding the Queen of Moon Quay provide constant light. The queen herself is a small source of shade and 20% rain protection (like a tree).
Trivia[]
- The island with its dock extensions is generated to look like a head with wild hair (or a skull with dreadlocks), possibly resembling Wagstaff who appears to be responsible for the portal and thus the occupants of the island.
- The name is a pun on "monkey", the primary inhabitants of the island.
