Work in Progress
This article is currently a work in progress. As such, it may contain some editing notes in addition to information. Please be patient, it is being worked on and will be in a finished state before long!
Date noted: No date specified. (Use date={{subst:Today}} to specify today, or date=YYYY-MM-DD to specify an arbitrary date.)

Overview

Numerically, the vast majority of base items are decorative. They cost very little and serve no function, other than to promote atmosphere and theme in a base. The most talked about items, however, are those that give some tangible benefit to the members of the supergroup lucky enough to own them. These include Special Purpose items and Items of Power. Collecting the right combination of shiny items (those that allow you to craft, buy, sell, or buff) and utilities (energy and control units) is no small feat.


Special Purpose

Items come in both Arcane and Technological styles to better match your base. The difference between Arcane and Tech items is cosmetic only. For every Tech based item there is a corresponding Arcane based item. (Except in the case of Empowerment Stations and Worktables, which accept only salvage of their own type.) Items are often referred to by their Tech names. While in the base editor, item categories show up only if you are currently in a room where they might be placed. (For example, the Arcane Energy category will not appear when you are in a Workshop Room.)


Defense Defense items can be placed in certain rooms and provide limited protection for your base during base raids. They draw energy and control in exchange for this protection.

Items of Power

Items of Power grant bonuses to every member of the Supergroup that owns them. The Cathedral of Pain Trial is currently not accessible, so no new Items of Power can be obtained. You can, however, buy some related items: anchors and bases.

Decorative

Decorative items are divided in the base editor based on their type. Things aren't always where you would expect, and it's best to look around for what you want.
