Player equipment

Tools

Tools determine the mining speed of the player. This is true not only for resources, but for any deployed object the player is picking up. Iron Axes are the first available manufactured tool. Once Steel Processing is researched, the better Steel Axe is available.

Iron and steel axes can also be used as melee weapons if the player is out of ammo. Bare hands cannot, which is why the 'None' item has no damage.

Item	Speed	Damage	Durability	Stack Size	Description
File:Hand icon.png None	1	0	infinite	0	Values used if no tool is used. Very slow.
File:Iron-axe.png Iron axe	2.5	5 physical	4000	32	Basic mining tool. Cheap and durable.
File:Steel-axe.png Steel axe	4	8 physical	5000	32	Advanced mining tool. Fast, but expensive.

Weapons

Weapons are used to inflict damage to alien lifeforms and buildings. As tools only provide damage at close range, weapons should be used in any case. All weapons will consume ammo when fired. For some weapons multiple ammo types are usable; they differ in cost and inflicted damage.
