Objects and Relics

Items and other such things

Items are objects that can be found or crafted across the world of Xiunus and can be held by colonies and, in few cases, colonists. Most items held by colonists are purely decorative, whereas other objects such as weapons and equipment can be used for bonuses. Items can be discovered via worldbuilding and presented to DPIP for official documentation, though it is to DPIP's discretion whether or not those items are fabrications or should be truly documented. Note that DPIP may also determine that they need to take new imagery of these findings for clarity (read: staff may adjust or even fully recreate art of these submissions for official use. Please never take this as a slight against your art!!)

Items have a multitude of uses, from healing salves to genetic concoctions to aesthetic backgrounds. Not every item has a known use, but given time and research, every item will have its use.

Weapons and equipment are both special items that can be found in a colony's armoury and can be assigned to colonists. Some weapons and equipment require different Specialties in order to be held, but others may be wielded by any colonist. Note that these more generic items are often lower quality and may even temporarily reduce some stats for gameplay, so you should always research before assigning them.

Badges are marks of achievement and excellence for colonies and, presumably, colonists. Badges can be earned in various methods, such as completing parts of the Story Mode prompts and assisting in genetic experimentation or sitewide prompts. Badges will continue to grow in prominence as time goes on.
