Tile Protocols

Tile protocols act on solid tiles and some hackable machines. The in-game scan label is Tile Target. This shelf has 8 protocols: 4 factory, 4 written from chips.

The factory four are Magnetic Pull, Tile Detonation, Phasing Protocol, and Machine Short Circuit. The chips are sold on TBUG’s Tile shelf. Phasing Protocol will not take a tile that is already intangible, and it will not take Lihzahrd Brick. Machine Overclock feeds an industrial machine that holds charge, then burns that charge empty when the timer ends.

Protocol	Category	RAM	Upload	Duration	Source	Effect
Magnetic Pull	Tile Manip	2	1 s	5 s	Factory	Generates a magnetic field, pulling nearby dropped items towards you.
Tile Detonation	Tile Manip	3	about 1.3 s	Instant	Factory	Compromises structural integrity, triggering a localized explosion.
Phasing Protocol	Tile Manip	4	about 1.7 s	8 s	Factory	Alters the physical properties of a tile, making it intangible for a duration.
Machine Short Circuit	Tile Manip	3	about 1.3 s	Instant	Factory	Drains the target machine’s energy, releasing electric arcs that damage nearby entities.
Vein Resonance	Covert	4	about 1.7 s	12 s	Vein Resonance Chip	Reveals matching ore through walls; mining it drops double but calls wardens
Stress Inversion	Tile Manip	5	about 2.2 s	10 s	Stress Inversion Chip	Makes this terrain unbreakable for ten seconds; enemies slamming into it take damage
Tile Conscription	Tile Manip	5	about 2.3 s	10 s	Tile Conscription Chip	Tears nearby blocks into eight armor plates orbiting you, launched when time is up
Machine Overclock	Tile Manip	4	about 1.7 s	10 s	Machine Overclock Chip	Feeds the machine a fixed charge allowance for ten seconds, then burns it to nothing.
