Native item catalog and source-defined material bills, ingredient choices, yields and connected uses from stable 0.I.
Object information coverage
Game banners are separate from these item illustrations. Counts describe this source version; they do not establish complete current-game coverage.
Known coverage gaps
- 1,749 objects have no exact native illustration mapping.
- 637 objects have no detailed property fields beyond their recorded recipe or relationships.
- 9,846 objects have no individual purpose/timing/tradeoff assessment.
- Item introduction history is incomplete; download dates are not used as release dates.
- Full core-family and latest-release reconciliation is incomplete; this is a versioned source library.

Catalog & calculator versions
9,894 discoverable objects and 64 families. The batch and production calculator uses the pinned version above. Newer reference inventories retain their own source version and costs in each object detail.
Introduction and meaningful-change records retain their own source evidence.
Supported scope and limits
- Stable 0.I snapshot; experimental builds retain separate recipes and mechanics.
- Plans count native items or charges according to each item definition; item mass and fluid volume are not substituted for charge units.
- Required tools, tool charges, qualities, proficiencies and nominal time remain explicit conditions; the material plan does not simulate tool batteries, heat, skill checks, time savings, or result containers.
- Dynamic output effects, complex inheritance directives, missing item definitions, self-conversions requiring item state and choice sets with more than32 combinations are excluded rather than guessed.
- Exact complete single-layer native tiles and the game's explicit looks_like/copy-from icon fallbacks are displayed. Composite, random, placeholder and unmatched sprites remain without images.
