One scan with this Calibrated Perceiver, and I'll know how somethin's built!

Winona

The Calibrated Perceiver is an item exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the Return of Them updates and reused in the Skill Spotlight Updates as a new item. It can only be obtained by Winona after learning the Founder's Keepers I skill. One Calibrated Perceiver drops from a Cachebox, which can be found by wearing Inspectacles. When dropped on the ground, the Calibrated Perceiver will disappear after a few seconds. Other characters cannot see or interact with it and it cannot be placed into containers such as Backpacks or Chests.

Icon Tools Usage[]

The Calibrated Perceiver can be used to scan one item or structure that can be prototyped to obtain the corresponding recipe. It cannot be used to scan other characters' exclusive items or items that cannot be prototyped (like items, that can be crafted at a Ancient Pseudoscience Station or a Brightsmithy).

Founder's Keepers II Founder's Keepers II[]

After learning the Founder's Keepers II skill, Winona can use the Calibrated Perceiver to scan Unstable Transmissions. If the Unstable Transmission looks like a dismantled Telipad, Winona will learn the Teletransport Station recipe. If the Unstable Transmission looks like an Telebrella, Winona will learn the Portasol recipe.

Prototype Tips[]

  • The player can use the Calibrated Perceiver to scan the Bundling Wrap from the Loot Stash after killing Klaus.
  • As Calibrated Perceivers do not stack and can't be stored, they can be dropped on the ground to get rid of them when there is nothing interesting to scan.
    • Enough Calibrated Perceivers can be found, as a new Cachebox spawns after 4 minutes.

Placeholder Trivia[]

  • The Calibrated Perceiver was initially added in the Eye of the Storm update as a part of the Moonstorm quest.
    • Even though it has the same name and icon, the Calibrated Perceivers from Moonstorms cannot be used to scan items.
    • The Calibrated Perceiver Winona can find and use with her skill, was added in the Skill Spotlight: Wurt & Winona update.
