Monoliths

Monoliths are mechanisms that change the background to a Celestial Tower background. They can be activated via right-click, or via wire. There are four different Monoliths, all of which are crafted from the Ancient Manipulator, for 15 Celestial Fragments. The Monoliths make the nearby surrounding area their respective color, with Vortex being green, Solar being orange, Stardust being blue and Nebula being purple.

Monoliths do not 'stack' their effects. They do provide large amounts of light to the area they're activated in, which can be useful for solar eclipses, for example.



Trivia

 * If a Monolith is left active when exiting a world, the background will remain as the Monolith background when selecting a character and world for Single Player. It is unknown whether or not this is a bug. Upon closing down the game completely, the background will return to normal, effectively resetting until the process is repeated again.


 * If there are multiple Monoliths in one area, only the right-most Monolith will be "active".


 * The Monoliths appear to be miniature versions of the Celestial Pillars.


 * When used during a Blood Moon it will override the red tint.


 * Before 1.3.0.5 the far right of the screen while a monolith is activated was the original backround for unknown reasons.
