Ancient Pseudoscience Station

"ERROR CAUSALITY COMPROMISED"

- WX-78

The Ancient Pseudoscience Station is a prototyping structure found only in the Ruins and gives access to the Ancient Crafting Tab. Initially, the station will be "broken", offering limited recipes until it is repaired using 6 Thulecite. During the Nightmare Phase of the Nightmare Cycle, the gems on a fully repaired station will glow red (the broken version is missing the gems). Being near either type of Ancient Pseudoscience Station will cause it to light up, protecting the player from any Night Monster attacks.

When an Ancient Pseudoscience Station is struck with a Hammer, a bolt of lightning will immediately strike the player, spawning either enemies or random loot. Building a Lightning Rod nearby will divert the lightning. A fully repaired station requires 10 hits to be destroyed completely. It is possible to keep repairing the station, for the purpose of farming items, but enemies have a much higher chance to spawn than any of the loot.

Crafting Recipes
The broken Ancient Pseudoscience Station offers 7 recipes, half that of a fully repaired station:
 * Thulecite
 * Thulecite Wall
 * Thulecite Medallion
 * Magiluminescence
 * Construction Amulet
 * Star Caller's Staff
 * Deconstruction Staff

The fully repaired Ancient Pseudoscience Station offers a total of 14 Crafting recipes (including the 7 listed above):
 * The Lazy Forager
 * The Lazy Explorer
 * Pick/Axe
 * Thulecite Crown
 * Thulecite Suit
 * Thulecite Club
 * Houndius Shootius

Item Drops
All item drops are random.

Mob Spawns (and misc.)
Enemies have a higher chance of spawning, as they are the Ancient Pseudoscience Station's defense mechanism.

Trivia

 * There is a rare chance to find a fully repaired Ancient Pseudoscience Station in the Ruins. It will typically have more Ancient Clockwork enemies guarding it, along with two Nightmare Lights beside it.
