Subethaic component
A subethaic component is a type of stackable chain-like item that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It has a default material of glass.
Generation
The bottom right chest inside a magic item vault guarded by a id juggernaut has a 1⁄2 chance of containing a subethaic component.
Statues of colossal clockwork war-machines generated in the The Paths of Law have a 1⁄4 chance of containing 1–4 subethaic components. Additionally, the statue will contain another 1–8 statues of clockwork automatons that themselves have a 1⁄4 chance of containing 1–2 subethaic components. Each colossal clockwork war-machine statue effectively contains 0–20 subethaic components.
Upon death, golden hearts leave behind a subethaic component. Id juggernauts leave behind 1–4 subethaic components instead.
Description
10 subethaic components can be applied to create golden heart. When standing adjacent to an android monster, golden heart, id juggernaut, or scrap titan, a subethaic component can be applied to heal them for an amount equal to their monster level. Androids can also use subethaic components to heal themselves for an amount equal to their level and regain 4–8 energy.
For clockwork automatons, one subethaic component is necessary to obtain the phase engine upgrade. To obtain it, they must apply an upgrade kit and combine it with a subethaic component.
Chatting to a hooloovoo as a clockwork automaton prompts them to buy subethaic components at a price of 1000 gold pieces each.
