The Lightning Rod creates a Template:ItemLink 24 hours after getting hit by lightning during a storm. It is not necessary for the player to be on the farm when the lightning strike happens.
Since rods do not protect a specific area, the exact placement of a rod on the farm has no bearing on its chance to intercept a lightning strike. A Lightning Rod has a very good chance of intercepting a lightning bolt if it isn't already processing one. If it doesn't succeed, though, the lightning is more likely to strike trees than crops.
A lightning rod is the reward for completing the 10,000 Bundle in the Vault.
Notes
- Though it is possible to place lightning rods outside of the farm map, they will never get hit by lightning there, and thus will produce no battery packs.
- Storms (and thus lightning) never occur in Winter.
