Inventory and Usable Items

The inventory stores items the player can use.

It can contain items such as Iris, universal fragments, or resource chests.

Some items are activated on the active planet, while others are used to upgrade a global system.

Each premium item has a specific effect.

The main items are:

• Iris of the Pillars: added to the inventory; see how to activate it;
• Resource Chest: gives resources on the active planet; see how to open it;
• Universal Fragment;
• Planetary Teleporter: an item reserved for players that lets them instantly move one of their planets to a completely empty coordinate. A PvE planet or settlement, particularly the Federation, can never use it. A destination occupied by a player's planet, a PvE/gameplay environment, or a Debris field is rejected. A planet can only be moved again every 45 days; the player must wait 48 hours between two moves and can successfully complete only 3 moves within any rolling 30 days. After the move, no new departure can be launched from that planet for 30 minutes. The temporary migration button in Overview is separate: migration beneficiaries have five moves in total during the seven days following the shared reopening, with no new item or new standard cooldown. Ongoing missions and existing normal locks remain blocking.

Bulk purchases are available for certain items. Direct purchases of 24h resource chests, Iris, and Universal Fragments share a budget of 200 000 Astrium per UTC calendar month, per account and per universe, to preserve balance among players. You can allocate this allowance freely, including spending it entirely on just one of these consumables. Emperor, Monarch, and Rise of the Empire packs, as well as items obtained from other sources, do not consume this budget. The counter starts at zero when this rule is implemented: previous purchases are excluded. The Planetary Teleporter is not included among the direct purchases counted toward this budget; for its availability in the shop and its other sources of acquisition, see the section on premium purchases.

Example

You can buy several Universal Fragments; their use is described in the section on upgrading them. For the chest and choice of resource, see the opening rules.

An Iris is used to protect a planet against a ground attack via the Pillars.

The Iris must be activated on a planet.

Once active, it can block a ground incursion. The Iris used is then consumed.

Chests give resources when used. Some give a generic amount; others target a specific resource: Iron, Crystal, or Aether.

When using a generic chest, the player chooses which resource they want to receive on their active planet.

The generic 24h chest is limited to 5 openings per UTC day, regardless of its source. Its direct purchase in the premium shop is subject to the shared monthly budget described in the effects and uses of premium items; it no longer has an individual purchase cap in units. Generic 1h and 6h chests, as well as targeted chests, use neither this budget nor this opening limit. The 1h chest grants one twenty-fourth of the 24h value of the chosen resource, rounded down to the nearest whole number.
