IDLE DIRECTIVE All Items

This IDLE DIRECTIVE items guide covers the generators, batteries, refineries, storage equipment, utility items, upgrade materials, amplifier items, consumables, and trade items listed in the current in-game data. I explain what each documented item does, where I find or buy it, and which materials I use when upgrading it.
