Items

Every good in Imperix is one of 12 items: three raw materials and three production chains (food, ammunition, components), each three tiers deep. They’re all made by companies.

Raw materials

The starting point of each chain. Extracted directly, no inputs.

• GrainFood chain
• IronAmmo chain
• SiliconComponent chain

Food

Food restores Combat Energy, and the better tiers add a temporary combat buff. Each item you eat spends one food right. See Energy and food.

Item	Tier	Restores	Buff
Bread	1	+10 energy	none
Fish	2	+25 energy	+5% damage for 30 min
Meat	3	+50 energy	+10% damage, +5% crit for 60 min

Ammunition

Ammo multiplies your damage per hit. Each fight action fires 10 rounds (one per hit), and an action you can’t fill is refused. See Battles.

Item	Tier	Damage
9mm	1	×1.2
5.45mm	2	×1.5
.50 Cal	3	×2.0

Components

Components aren’t used directly. They’re the raw stock of the workshop, crafted into equipment and spent again to repair it.

Item	Tier	Used for
Electronics	1	The base component of every recipe
Alloys	2	The bulk of Uncommon and rarer gear
Polymers	3	Rare, Epic and Legendary crafting

Tip

The chain a raw material feeds isn’t obvious from its name: Grain feeds food, Iron feeds ammunition, and Silicon feeds components. Plan your companies around which chain you actually want to sell into.
