Tips

  • Turrets can easily be removed by placing blocks in the direction they are firing and slowly approaching them, before mining them through the solid blocks.

Trivia

  • The theme heard while inside any of the Bio-center Labs is Engineer's Sanctum, which was composed by the artist Heart Plus Up!. It is one of the few themes that was originally created for the Vanilla Calamity Mod Music mod, before being added into the Calamity Mod proper.
  • Previously, certain structures would contain a second type of turret known as Field Generators.
  • The Ice Bio-center Lab, Space Bio-center Lab, Underworld Bio-center Lab and Cavern Bio-center Lab replaced the Ice Tomb, Main Planetoid Lab, and the Underworld and Cavern Shrines, respectively.
