The Orange Gem is an item used to craft several Ancient items in Don't Starve. It can be used to craft The Lazy Forager, which automatically collects items, and The Lazy Explorer, which teleports the player a short distance across the screen. 

Gathering Edit

Orange Gems are obtained by mining Ancient Statues, destroying Broken Clockworks, breaking certain Relics, opening Ornate Chests, and hammering Ancient Pseudoscience Stations in the Ruins.

Downloadable Content Edit

In the Reign of Giants DLC, Orange Gems have a 0.02% chance to be dropped by Tumbleweeds, making them a renewable resource. In the Shipwrecked DLC, Orange Gems can be found in buried X Marks the Spot treasure chests. In the Hamlet DLC, there is a very low chance for Orange Gems to drop from Hammering Smashing Pots.

Don't Starve Together Edit

In Don't Starve Together, there are three ways to farm Orange Gems:

• The Dragonfly has a chance to drop Orange Gems upon death.
• Orange Gems can be gathered in the Caves from Cave Holes by using The Lazy Forager. The Ruins can be regenerated by killing the Ancient Fuelweaver, so by killing the boss over and over again the player is able to farm the gems.
• By killing the Ancient Fuelweaver over and over again the player is able to farm Large Ornate Chests which have a chance to contain Orange Gems.

Orange Gems can be inserted into Cratered Moonrocks to acquire an Orange Moonlens. They can also be used to power Winona's G.E.M.erator.

Usage Edit

Obtained by inserting the Gem into the Cratered Moonrock.

Trivia Edit

• The Orange Gem's element appears to be sloth; its opposite being the Green Gem.
