    For that last device, could it have just been an antenna hooked up to a tone generator and, maybe, some sort of amplifier? It'd just beep whenever it ran into a radio wave that's the right frequency for that length of antenna.

    Spoopitron reminds me very much of a VR/Flat game called Scanner Sombre. In this game you use a Lidar gun to walk around a pitch black cave and light your way through using a point cloud you create. It's an incredible thriller game that gets spookier the deeper you get into this cave system. The Spoop even looks like the device you use.

  • @jedstanaland2897

    The EMF meter is useful for the detection of power in the case of power outage and detection of certain types of interference to know if you are having problems with transmissions and such. This said even if it was sold as an overpriced ghost detector you can still use it for certain types of troubleshooting and many other things. I would however recommend one with a pinpoint option.

    so dark fang is a field detector of sorts. You place on the ground and stand away from it. If it it beeps it means something is close to the antenna. Anything being close to the antenna sets it off. There is a device referred to as a REM-Pod that works the same way, but has other functions as well. Hope this helps.

It's so cool you make more upgrade parts and buy more machines and make more cool parts and more cool upgrades.
    Pretty soon you have a lot of cool machines and you are making a lot of cool parts you can't sell - IDEA! These parts are so cool I'll start a UA-cam channel and show other people how to make cool parts! The endless cycle of the maker world. More cool machines, more cool parts - The evil genius of Voidstar labs is there is no escape, cool machines and cool parts will be every everywhere - Makers will take over the world!
