Schematics
Schematics are items found in all five Bio-center Labs. They are used to unlock various items crafted with Dubious Plating and Mysterious Circuitry by decrypting them with Draedon Power Cells at The Codebreaker.
Types
Variant | Tooltip | Codebreaker Component Required | Power Cell Cost | Decryption Message | Unlocks |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Schematic (Sunken Sea) | Finely detailed diagrams of numerous devices and weaponry dance across the holographic screen. Picking up this item or holding it in your inventory permanently unlocks new recipes |
n/a | n/a | The weaponry I supply to the workers of the laboratories is weak. Hardly suited for battle. However, they suffice for self defense against any lab mechanisms or creations which may have gone rogue. Addendum: For those who think themselves powerful, search the upper bounds of this planet's atmosphere for a structure similar to that of the Sunken Seas. I will know by the end if you are worthy of battling my creations. |
Decryption Computer Gauss Dagger Lab Turret Onyx Turret Pulse Pistol Star Swallower Containment Unit Taser Tracking Disk Water Turret |
Encrypted Schematic (Planetoid) | Requires a Codebreaker with a basic decryption computer to decrypt | Decryption Computer | 500 | Within an army, as weapons do, the soldiers serve different purposes. That distinction is crucial, as the wrong tool in the wrong hands—no matter how potent—may as well be a wooden club. Addendum: Seek out my base of operations closest to the Lihzahrd's home. I wish you the best of luck with all sincerity, for it has been a long time since I have had a worthy test subject. |
Fire Turret Frequency Manipulator Gauss Pistol Hydraulic Volt Crasher Ice Turret Laser Turret Long Ranged Sensor Array Matter Modulator Mounted Scanner |
Encrypted Schematic (Jungle) | Requires a Codebreaker with a fine tuned, long range sensor to decrypt | Long Ranged Sensor Array | 950 | As rank progresses, so often does the lethality of equipment. In the hands of competent soldiers, the weapons have the ability to make change. However, competent soldiers take no action but orders from above. Addendum: If you read this, you have come far. Do not disappoint. Go now to Hell, for the next component stored in what were once my forges. |
Advanced Display Galvanizing Glaive Gatling Laser Gauss Rifle Plague Turret Pulse Turret Remote System Bane |
Encrypted Schematic (Underworld) | Requires a Codebreaker with a sophisticated display to decrypt | Advanced Display | 1750 | Only the highest ranking in the battalions of the Yharim's army held these weapons. However these are still not my most potent tools. Those...characters could not be trusted with them. Addendum: The final piece remains. Travel now from the hottest fire this land has to offer, to the most frigid cold. I cannot deny having some sense of poetic symmetry. |
Heavy Laser Rifle Plasma Caster Pulse Dragon Snake Eyes Voltage Regulation System Wave Pounder |
Encrypted Schematic (Ice) | Requires a Codebreaker with a complex voltage regulation system to decrypt | Voltage Regulation System | 5000 | I have since made progress to even greater weapons than these, but they remain creations to be proud of. No progress can be made without a desire that comes from dissatisfaction. Addendum: The time has come. You are ready. |

Trivia
- The drawings on the schematics each depict their respective Codebreaker components that they unlock.
- Additionally, the colored indicators on each schematic correspond with the respective biomes they are found in:
- The Underworld schematic's indicator is orange.
- The Ice schematic's indicator is white.
- The Jungle schematic's indicator is green.
- The Planetoid schematic's indicator is yellow.
- The Sunken Sea schematic's indicator is teal.
- Despite the Planetoid schematic's description mentioning a wooden club, there is no such weapon in the Calamity Mod. The Ogre mini-boss in vanilla Terraria wields a giant wood club as his weapon, but it is unobtainable. While the Ogre's Club is depicted as a wooden club weapon, it is a pet-summoning item.
- Decrypting every schematic requires a total of 8200 Draedon Power Cells.
- It would take a single Power Cell Factory a total of 34 hours and 10 minutes of real time to generate this amount of Draedon Power Cells.
