The Orange Gem is an item used to craft two 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. 

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

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

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

• The Dragonfly drops 1-2 Orange Gems upon death.
• Orange Gems can be gathered in the Ruins from Cave Holes by using The Lazy Forager. The Ruins can be regenerated by killing the Ancient Fuelweaver, allowing the player a chance to regenerate gems on the Cave Holes.
• The Large Ornate Chest has a chance to contain Orange Gems each time the Ancient Guardian is killed.
• Sunken Chests have a 5% chance of dropping Orange Gems when hammered.
• Orange Gems can be obtained from presents under a Winter's Feast Tree (only during Winter's Feast).
• The Table and Chair Relics have a roughly 0.2% chance to drop Orange Gems when destroyed.
• Tumbleweeds have a roughly 0.02% chance to drop Orange Gems when harvested.
• Geode Fruits have a 7.1% chance to break into Orange Gems when heated.

In Don't Starve Together, 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.

Orange Gems can also be crafted by Wilson with 3 Purple Gems if he has the skill "Transmute Gems II".

Trivia

• The Orange Gem's element appears to be sloth; its opposite being the Green Gem.
• Wortox's quote references the fact that no word in the (modern, standard) English language rhymes with "orange".
