The Telelocator Focus is a magical item which helps the player to control the randomness of the Telelocator Staff. Instead of teleporting the character or mob to a random location (which can be bad in the case of a Deerclops, Red Hound, or another mob that can cause major trouble), they will be teleported to this structure. The Telelocator Focus requires 4 Nightmare Fuel, 4 Living Logs, and 8 Gold Nuggets to craft and a Shadow Manipulator to prototype.

Upon construction, the Focus has three posts in which the player must install 3 Purple Gems in order to activate it. When the Telelocator Staff is used on the player (by means of right clicking it) anywhere in the world, they will be immediately transported to the center of the nearest active Focus. After use, the Gems will be consumed and must be replaced before the Focus can be used again. If the player has already placed 3 Purple Gems onto the posts and wishes to deactivate it, the player can remove the gems from the posts.

• Enemy mobs that are transported in this way will possibly be set on fire from the lightning strike, granted they are not immune to fire. Because of this, players are advised to use caution as to where they place this portal. Upon exit from the portal, the mobs will quickly spread fire everywhere they go for a few seconds meaning they could destroy entire berry bush, twig, and grass farms in the process. If placed near a base camp, one would be well advised to create walls around the Focus to prevent any inadvertent enemy transport damage. Alternatively, placing a Lightning Rod near the focus will prevent the mob from catching fire in the first place. 
• A good location to place the focus is in the middle of a Tooth Trap field. If used on a hostile mob, they'll get teleported in the field and die to the traps when they leave the Focus area. Additionally if used to get home, the field is close to camp so it will work anyway. However, know that a Deerclops will likely destroy the Focus the moment it is teleported there.

Trivia

• The Telelocator Focus was introduced officially in the Hungry for your Hunger update. It was implemented into the game before that, though without sockets in which to put Purple Gems and with unlimited uses.
