# Moth Chime

[The building book](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings/moth-chime)

A tiny touch of woodland magic for a settled village.

The Moth Chime is a decorative object unlocked at Lantern Village. It uses a little timber and lantern essence, with no food, housing or protection effect in the current rules.

Base tier. Builder work excludes walking and waiting; production rates apply while working. The in-game preview shows your exact current quote.

## Make room for it.

Choose a clear one-by-one-metre spot near the places you enjoy looking at. Keep paths and doorways clear; the chime does not create its own connection.

## Improvements & appearance.

This building has no tier improvement in the current rules. Inspect it to see the maintenance and appearance options available in your build.

## If something seems stuck.

This is a visual detail, not an essence producer or a lantern ward. Use a Moonwell for later essence production and the protection guide for active wards.

## Good neighbours.
