Guide for Filling in the Active Matter Item Database

For viewers:

Thank you for helping build the first step towards an Active Matter Wiki!

You can create your own filters to explore the data — they’re private to you and won’t affect others.

To make sure all entries are consistent and easy to read, please follow these rules when entering data:

To use them, go to:

Data → Create filter view

General Rules

Always fill in the relevant columns for each item.

If a column does not apply to an item, write “-” so it’s clear that the value is not missing but simply irrelevant.

Specific Guidelines by Item Type

If the weapon takes ammo directly (without a magazine), write the ammo capacity in the Amount/Capacity column.

In the Subtype column, always note the ammunition type the weapon uses.

Always write the ammo capacity in Amount/Capacity.

For Volume, magazines must be measured empty.

Armor, Medicals, and Durable Items

Record their durability in Amount/Capacity.

Bags & Backpacks

In Amount/Capacity, write their additional volume (how much they can carry).

In Volume, write their folded volume.

Other Columns

Buyable → If the item can be purchased in a shop, write the price.

Printable → If the item is printable, write the time it takes to print.

Min Inc. from Active Matter / Max Inc. from Active Matter → Use these for the enriched values of items. Make sure to empty containers, mags, weapons first.

Unload also the bullet from the chamber of the weapons

Weight of Ammunition → To calculate:

Weigh a stack of 100 rounds.
