The ball can interact with two altars that affect the behavior of monsters:
- With the help of the tool you can scare away mutants and cannibals, but it consumes 8 units of solaphite ore.
- Another totem lures enemies, simultaneously producing a small amount of the same ore.
The first altar works as long as there is fuel left in it. The second one can be turned off at any time, after which the monsters will stop reaching the point.
