Extra Info:
programmable recoiler

A cassette is cut with hexagonal grooves and steeped in the right amount of magnetic charge to spool a spacetime tether (and generate its characteristic hot gum smell). On top, a recessed button snaps the potential and initiates the recoil.

Perfect

The programmable recoiler teleports the player to a particular programmed location when used. The programmable recoiler can be set to whatever location the player chooses at the time it is programmed (using the imprint action), but, unlike the reprogrammable recoiler the programmed location is then constant and cannot be further modified. A properly charged energy cell must be installed, and it cannot be used when in combat or while hostile enemies are nearby. The act of programming a location into the programmable recoiler consumes 10,000 energy from the slotted energy cell, preventing low-tier cells like fidget cells and solar cells from being used for imprinting. Once programmed, the programmable recoiler consumes only 2,500 energy when activated (similar to all other recoilers).

programmable recoilers can be found as random loot in the world.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • Recoilers are a handy means of travelling to different locations in the world without the risk of getting lost.
  • The recoiler's destination can make for a good storage site for loot that the player doesn't want to carry around with them, since that location can be returned to at will.
