Extra Info:
random-point 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

A random-point recoiler or, perhaps more aptly, ruin recoiler is a recoiler that leads to a fixed ruins site or historic site, which is chosen randomly at the moment the item spawns.[1]

An individual random-point recoiler is named according to its destination. For example, if one goes to a place called Retroversion Hyperboloid Sammu, it will be named Retroversion Hyperboloid Sammu recoiler.

In tinkering contexts, such as the tinkering screen and data disks, they are referred to as a whole by the name random-point recoiler.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • If the player has a surplus of 1, 2 and 3 bits, repeatedly creating random-point recoilers can be a quick way to establish shortcuts around Qud, facilitating quicker access to locations such as the Six Day Stilt. Undesired recoilers may be scrapped.
  • random-point recoilers may lead to a high-tier areas such as the Palladium Reef or Moon Stair, depositing the player in a dangerous situation.
  • Particularly beautiful ruins may be cleared out and used as a home base for the player.
