List of items that *do things*?

[Black Tangent]

I have what I will call a "practical base" - it's boring, but gives me all the functionality I need - teleport, storage, various NPCs to do things, etc.  Very little in the way of "decoration".    Function over form.

That said, is there a list anywhere of base items that actually DO things versus pure decoration?   (i.e. Merit Vendor vs. a torch; Nurse vs. a girl on a couch, etc).

"Lists" would be more like it.  They can be found under "Item Type" in the unofficial wiki here:

We probably should compile a modern list as some items with functions no longer can exercise that function.  I refer to the Base Defense Items which were designed for PvP competition between supergroups, but that concept has long ended.  They do make nice kinetic decor, though, even if they no longer are fed targets.

 

Several of the Base Control Items also fall into this category, though something like the Pillar of Ice and Flame do still function.

 

Base Energy Items tend to fall in this category as well, though I think it is still necessary to have a few to power a few items?  I don't recall that clearly, and I know the wiki says they're not necessary, but I seem to recall having issues with a couple of items while I didn't have a generator.  Your experience may vary.
