Tips[]

The ability to create one fragment from three others can save a player from having to endure the Lunar Events should they be missing only a few of the former.

Trivia[]

Despite the fact it has a rarity of 10*, it has no sell value.
When placed, the orb and accents on the manipulator pulsate in the colors of the four Celestial Pillars.
Even when painted, the Ancient Manipulator continues to cycle between the colors of the Celestial Pillars. Any parts not changing in color adopt the paint color as usual.
Each Lunar Fragment appears to have chainsaw and hammer variants that are all currently unobtainable.
Internally, this item is referred to as LunarCraftingStation.
