The Handy Remote is an item exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the Skill Spotlight Updates. It can only be crafted by Winona with 1 Electrical Doodad after learning the Portability skill.

Icon Tools Usage[]

Only Winona can use the Handy Remote. It can have up to 4 functions for controlling Winona's Catapults.

A fully charged Handy Remote has 100 uses (or 100% energy). The energy of the remote can be recharged by dropping it in the range of Winona's Generator or Winona's G.E.M.erator. When dropped in range, the bulbs of the remote will light up and a cable becomes visible on the side of the remote leading into the ground. A full recharge takes 2 minutes (or 1 minute after learning the Quick Charge skill). When fully charged, the lights of the remote will turn off.

Remote functions[]

Depending on the skills learned, the player can use up to 4 functions by right-clicking the Handy Remote and choosing a function. Enlightened Strike, Shadow Strike and Planar Strike share the same spot. Which one of them is available depends on the learned skills.
