I'm on day 18 in Don't starve. With the onset of winter I need to build a heat stone, but when I check the survival tab the stone does not appear there for crafting. It's not even that I can't build it, it just isn't on the tab. I have a shadow manipulator, am playing in sandbox mode and am playing vanilla with no mods. Why can't I build it?

  • The important question here is how the heck did you manage to get a shadow manipulator by day 18?!

  • @Gamer3001 Pure, unadulterated skill. And probably a great deal of luck

A Thermal Stone isn't a magic item, it's a normal item. You'll need an Alchemy Engine to invent it, and it'll be the last item in the Survival tab.

You won't even see the Thermal Stone in the Survival tab unless you're standing next to a Science Machine, and you won't be allowed to invent it unless you're next to an Alchemy Engine.

You'll need 10 Stones, 1 Pickaxe (even a mostly-worn-out one will do), and 3 flint to craft one. You can find more information on the wiki page.

  • Thanks for your help. I was under the impression that a shadow manipulator was a higher tier research station (in that it would be able to prototype everything an alchemy engine could and more).
