Industrial Commodities

Industrial Commodities (ICs) are a mechanic added in the May 2016 reset to allow players to make money from raw resources. This replaced the old strategy of building station extensions and then selling them to a AI base.

There are 28 Industrial Commodities, arranged into a four-tier system. The first tier, tier 0, is constructed from basic materials, such as Metals, Silicon, and Nuclear Waste. Tier 1-3 commodities are produced using tier 0 ICs as well as a rarer extractable or droppable commodity such as Jelly Beans, Diamonds, or Enriched Nuclear Material.

Industrial Commodities will sell for slightly more than the value of their ingredients to certain AI bases. These can be found in Wildspace or Kalthi Depths. Each base will only buy one "series" of ICs that are all derived from the same base material.

Price-wise, Industrial Commodities function similarly to normal commodities. That is, a AI base will buy a commodity for less as more of that commodity is sold to them. AI bases will buy Industrial Commodities for 200% of it's base value when it has none of them stored, which eventually falls to 50% of the commodities' base value, beyond which the AI base will refuse to buy more. AI bases will consume industrial commodities over time, at a rate depending on the tier of the commodity. At tier 1, they will consume 100k-200k of each commodity per day, but only 1-5k of each tier 3 commodity per day.

All ICs cannot be transwarped, teleported, or be put in the storage locker. Additionally, all ICs drop on death and decay on uni reset. Bases will stop consuming ICs one week before uni reset.

Active Industrial Commodities were introduced in the February 2024 reset to encourage more active engagement with the IC system. These active IC factories require commodities that can only be farmed from AI as inputs and the resulting active ICs can only be sold to certain bases in Earthforce or Perilous Space at certain times. More details can be found in this blog post: [1]

For factories that have multiple rows of inputs/outputs listed, each row is a separate option for the factory. For example, 500 Steel Girders and 1 Poseidon Fragments are required to make 1 Holy Altars of Worship. Alternately, 500 Steel Girders and 1 Zeus Fragments are required to make 1 Holy Altars of Worship. Alternately, 1,500 Steel Girders and 1 Permission of the Prophet are required to make 3 Holy Altars of Worship. Etc, etc.
