The Codebreaker is a piece of constructible furniture that consists of six different components scattered throughout progression: Codebreaker Base, Decryption Computer, Long Ranged Sensor Array, Advanced Display, Voltage Regulation System, and Auric Quantum Cooling Cell. It is used to decrypt schematics with Draedon Power Cells to unlock various items, and also used to initiate the battle against the Exo Mechs.

Mechanics

Name	Image	Notes	Sounds
Decrypt Icon		This icon shows if a Schematic is in the decrypt slot. Clicking the icon decrypts the Schematic.
Decrypt Cancel Icon		This icon shows while the Schematic is being decrypted. Clicking the icon twice cancels the decrypt.
Contact Icon		This icon will show if the Auric Quantum Cooling Cell is placed on the Codebreaker Clicking the icon causes the Codebreaker to fire a pulse beam upwards, which will summon Draedon.
Decryption Bar		When a Schematic is being decrypted, a bar appears underneath the slot. This bar displays a percentage of the Schematic being decrypted.	n/a

Components

Item		Tooltip	Rarity	Function	Placed Image	Install Sound
	Codebreaker Base	n/a		Allows other components to be placed on top of		n/a
	Decryption Computer	Can be placed on the Codebreaker Allows you to decrypt the Planetoid schematic Doing so allows you to learn how to craft new things		Allows access to the Decryption UI Capable of decrypting Encrypted Schematic (Planetoid)
	Long Ranged Sensor Array	Can be placed on the Codebreaker Allows you to decrypt the Jungle schematic		Allows Encrypted Schematic (Jungle) to be decrypted
	Advanced Display	Can be placed on the Codebreaker Allows you to decrypt the Underworld schematic		Allows Encrypted Schematic (Underworld) to be decrypted
	Voltage Regulation System	Can be placed on the Codebreaker Allows you to decrypt the Ice biome schematic		Allows Encrypted Schematic (Ice) to be decrypted
	Auric Quantum Cooling Cell	Can be placed in the Codebreaker, completing it The completion of the Codebreaker allows you to make contact with its original creator Its creator is ready, and he hopes you are too.		Reduces decryption time from 2 minutes to 15 seconds Allows Draedon to be contacted

Crafting

Recipe

Most components of The Codebreaker are required to be unlocked through decryption. If the requirements have not been met, two lines of tooltip are added at the bottom of these items:
You don't have sufficient knowledge to create this yet
A specific schematic must be deciphered first

The requirements are listed as follows:

• Codebreaker Base has no special requirements.
• Decryption Computer requires the Sunken Sea schematic to be found.
• Long Ranged Sensor Array requires the Planetoid schematic to be decrypted.
• Advanced Display requires the Jungle schematic to be decrypted.
• Voltage Regulation System requires the Underworld schematic to be decrypted.
• Auric Quantum Cooling Cell requires the Ice schematic to be decrypted. However, it can also be crafted if the world was created before the 1.5.0.001 update.

History

edit

These history sections are still a work-in-progress, and may not yet contain changes relevant to the current version of the Calamity Mod.

• 2.0.3.005: Changed Auric Quantum Cooling Cell's last tooltip line from "Attempting to do so may have dire consequences" to "Its creator is ready, and he hopes you are too."

• 2.0.3.001: Fixed it being able to be broken through block swap, falling blocks, or tile sloping.

• 2.0.1.002: Added placement sounds for Advanced Display, Auric Quantum Cooling Cell, Decryption Computer, Long Ranged Sensor Array, and Voltage Regulation System.

• 2.0.0.003: Advanced Display, Decryption Computer, Long Ranged Sensor Array, and Voltage Regulation System tooltips now clearly mention which Schematic it allows the Codebreaker to decrypt.

• 1.5.1.001: Fixed pixel misalignment for placed Decryption Computer.

• 1.5.0.002:
  • Auric Quantum Cooling Cell now uses 8 Mysterious Circuitry, 8 Dubious Plating, 40 Endothermic Energy, and 6 Cores of Eleum in its recipe instead of 40 Wires, 80 Endothermic Energy, and 12 Cores of Eleum.
  • Decryption Computer now uses 100 Wires in its recipe instead of 300.
  • Voltage Regulation System now requires an Ancient Manipulator to craft.

• 1.5.0.001: Introduced all components.
