The Rainometer is a Science Structure that predicts precipitation. Like the Thermal Measurer, which predicts the Season, the Rainometer predicts when Rain is coming. The Rainometer has 3 stages, Sunny, Cloudy, and Raining. The arrow in the middle shows what weather is imminent or occurring at the time.

The Rainometer requires 2 Boards, 2 Gold Nuggets, and 2 Rope to craft and a Science Machine to prototype. 

Downloadable ContentEdit

In the Shipwrecked DLC, Rainometer can be flooded. When flooded, it will visually emit sparks and cease to function.

Tips Edit

• This Structure is most useful while playing as WX-78, who takes damage in rain.

TriviaEdit

• The Rainometer was added in the A Little Rain Must Fall update.
