Unobtainable Object

Challenge Door is an object unobtainable by players through normal means. This item's information is present in the game files, but not intended by developers to be in players' possession.

A Challenge Door is a teleportation gate object found underground on planets. When interacted with, it transports the player to one of 24 different challenge rooms, which can be completed for a reward. The reward is usually some pixels, a weapon, and occasionally items such as Manipulator Modules. There may also be chests that require techs, such as the Distortion Sphere, to reach.

Challenge Doors disappear 15 seconds after first use, or if the blocks below it are removed for any reason, such as being mined or affected by gravity.

Challenge doors are generated during world generation and thus the coordinates of challenge doors can be shared between players. However, the challenge rooms they lead to are not pre-set and players using the same challenge door will probably not find themselves in the same kind of challenge room.

The challenge door has runes on it in the language of the Ancients that translate to "Test".

Challenge Room Treasure

Almost every challenge room has a large treasure chest by the exit door. In addition, some challenge rooms also have a small treasure chest that usually requires Distortion Sphere or one of its upgrades to access.
