With this handy device, you can detect radiation. As you get closer to the source, the device will ping red, then yellow, then green for the closest. Stand still where you think the source is and you just might find it!

"With this fantabulous device, you can detect radiation around you. It bleeps red, then yellow, then green as you get closer to the source. Who knows what you might find? Not available any other way!"
Every purchase will give 1 item.

The Geiger Counter is a hand item which allows players to find radioactive items. When the player has found a radioactive item, the player will get the Irridated mod and the Geiger Counter will turn into a Dead Geiger Counter which needs to be recharged (automatically recharges in approximately half an hour, only if it is equipped).

How It Works

When equipped, the item will emit one of three different colored rings, or no rings around the player:

No rings - the player is very far from the source of radioactivity
Red ring - the player is 15-30 blocks away from the source of radioactivity
Yellow rings - the player is 10-15 blocks away from the source of radioactivity
Green rings - the player is 6-10 blocks away from the source of radioactivity
Rapid Green rings - the player is 0-6 blocks away from the source of radioactivity

These rings are used to tell the player how far they are from the radioactivity (e.g. red means that they are far and should move towards a green area).

NOTE: During Night Of The Comet (or in a world with Weather Machine - Comet), all Geiger Counters will emit green rings because the comet is messing up the Geiger Counter's reading. If players manage to find a radioactive item, they will receive the "Atomic Luck" achievement.

Once the player stands on the source of radioactivity, the item they have found will automatically go into their backpack. The player will receive the Irradiated mod for half an hour and their Geiger Counter will turn into a Dead Geiger Counter. The Dead Geiger Counter must be equipped in the player's hand and will take approximately half an hour to recharge, as long as the player does not unequip it. Being in the EXIT menu does not recharge the Geiger Counter.

NOTE: The Geiger Counter can only be used in regular worlds of size 60x100. It cannot be used in worlds which have been modified in size.

Possible Rewards

Upon reaching the hidden source of radioactivity players will receive either one the following items (from most common to rarest):

Geiger Day Only

On Geiger Day, Geiger Counters take half the time to charge and the "Irradiated" mod lasts for half the time too. There is also a chance that upon using a Geiger Counter, the H.R. Geiger Supervillain is summoned. All other prizes are possible to obtain, however, the colored stuff is replaced with Geiger V-Necks.

Event only

GEIGERHILLS only

In GEIGERHILLS, the Uranium Block is the only drop in the world. However, the player can use the Geiger Counter in the world as much as they want as the Geiger Counter never dies and never needs recharging if an item is found in the world.

Effects

When a Dead Geiger Counter is held, players will have the "Charging Geiger Counter" mod. 1% takes 20 seconds to charge, meaning that it requires 31 minutes and 20 seconds to fully charge a Dead Geiger Counter. During Geiger Day, charging takes half the time.
When a player has found a radioactive item, the player will receive the "Irradiated" mod. This means that the player cannot find more radioactive items for the next thirty minutes. During Geiger Day, the mod lasts for fifteen minutes only.

Trivia

During Cinco De Mayo Week 2017, a change was made so that that worlds with an irregular size (eg. TINY) would not have any sources of radioactivity, rendering them useless for geiger hunting.
When the item was originally released alongside the Superhero Pack, players could only get Radioactive Chemicals. During the Crystals update, crystals became possible drops, along with other items.
Players can use Hot Chocolate on themselves to remove the Irradiated effect and charge the Geiger.
Geiger Chargers take twice as long to charge as charging while holding the Geiger Counter. However, they do not need to be equipped and can be placed inside the charger.
Chance of getting a crystal is around ten percent.
