Unobtainable item?

Seems the item is unobtainable, can anybody recheck it? I checked the assets, and it is only mentioned in lunarbase dungeon:

   {
     "value" : [255, 162, 0, 255],
     "comment" : "outpostmicrowave facing left",
     "brush" : [ [ "clear" ], [ "object", "outpostmicrowave", { "direction" : "left" } ] ]
   },
   {
     "value" : [242, 153, 0, 255],
     "comment" : "outpostmicrowave facing right",
     "brush" : [ [ "clear" ], [ "object", "outpostmicrowave", { "direction" : "right" } ] ]
   },


But it is not present there in fact (no such pixles on `lunarbase-objects.png`)

Perhaps, it could still be obtained somehow from merchants?

Armok: Using agent ransack to check the game's files, it doesn't seem to be obtainable at all unfortunately


The outpostmicrowave can be seen at many space locations, but those are tile shielded, so you can't take it. This wiki incorrectly lists it as printable because its object file does not have a "printable": false tag, but since it's a crafting station, it can't actually be printed. It is, however, obtainable (by using the matter manipulator to break and take it) at the following locations: dungeons/microdungeons/biomes/tundra/researchstation3.json, dungeons/microdungeons/biomes/tundra/researchstationbunker1.json, and dungeons/microdungeons/underground/underground3c/underground3c_open2.json. I'm not familiar with this "agent ransack", but I wrote my own code to parse and index the game's assets. My code can correctly parse PNG assets, determining what actually is available in the PNGs, as opposed to what is merely mentioned in the dungeon files. It can also correctly parse Tiled-based dungeons. I'm in the process of cleaning it up so that it can be published. Rl.starbound (talk) 02:21, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
Searching for "agent ransack" online indicates it's a simple text-search tool. Due to the structure of Tiled files, that won't be able to parse them to find the objects used within. You have to parse the Tiled files and merge them with their imported tilesets to make those connections, which a simple text search tool will not be programmed to do. Anyway, my previous answer provided the locations of the object. Let me know if you need me to find any other objects, and I'll post on the usual forums when I've made my search tool publicly available. Rl.starbound (talk) 02:51, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
