Pherostone

The Pherostone is a naturally spawning Item exclusive to the Hamlet DLC. The Pherostone can be found once per world in the Ancient Pig Ruins, more specifically the ones that have a Mant statue on top of the Ruinous Entrance in the Gas Rainforest. 
When carried in any Inventory slot, it allows the player to understand what Mants are saying. The Pherostone does not prevent Mants from being aggressive.
Mants can be befriended by using the Pherostone to determine which food they eat, and then feeding the corresponding meat, seeds, plants, or wood. Befriended Mants will assist the player in chopping down Trees and attacking Mobs.
The Pherostone cannot be crafted.
== Tips ==
* The Pherostone does not work if it is stored in a Backpack.
== Trivia ==
* According to character quotes, the Pherostone appears to work by translating scents into language.
* It's name is a portmanteau of the words "Pheromone" and "stone".
** The first making a reference to the way insects like ants and termites communicate with each other with pheromone signals. 
** The second is a reference to the Rosetta stone, a stele written in three different languages (hieroglyphic or Ancient Egyptian, Demotic, and Ancient Greek) with minor differences among the three texts which was key to the first deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphs and uncovering ancient Egyptian history (like the Pherostone with Mants' language).
