| type and category

|  

This is the item's type (string) and, in most cases, a category (negative integer), separated by a space like <samp>Fish -4</samp>. For some types the category is omitted.

* For items with type <samp>Arch</samp> (artifacts), no category is given.

* For other objects: the item's type (string) and category (negative integer), separated by a space like <samp>Fish -4</samp>.

See the [[#Categories|list of categories and their numeric values]].

While [[#Categories|categories]] are frequently referenced in other parts of the game, types appear to be apocryphal data from early in the game's development. As such, some of them are not very well understood. The types used in <samp>Data/ObjectInformation</samp> and their purposes (as is currently understood) are as follows:

 

*<samp>Ring</samp>, used for all rings, even the [[Wedding Ring]]. Category is ommitted, though every <samp>Ring</samp> type is automatically given the category <samp>-96</samp>.

The types aren't currently documented. The values used in <samp>Data/ObjectInformation</samp> are <samp>Ring</samp>, <samp>Fish</samp>, <samp>Arch</samp>, <samp>asdf</samp>, <samp>Seeds</samp>, <samp>Crafting</samp>, <samp>Quest</samp>, <samp>Basic</samp>, <samp>Cooking</samp>, and <samp>Minerals</samp>.

*<samp>Fish</samp>, used not only for fish but all items gained through fishing. Always paired with <samp>-4</samp> for true fish or <samp>-20</samp> for junk items such as [[Joja Cola]].

*<samp>Arch</samp>, used for artifacts, presumably standing for "archaeology." Category is ommitted, though every <samp>Arch</samp> type is automatically given the category <samp>0</samp>. Is ''not'' used for Gems or Minerals. '''Adding custom items of the <samp>Arch</samp> type is not recommended, as it can break all Artifact Spots in the game.'''

*<samp>asdf</samp>, used for a handful of items the player isn't intended to ever have in their inventory, such as an Artifact Spot or Secret Note. Category is ommitted.

*<samp>Seeds</samp>, used for seeds, starters, shoots, etc. Always paired with the category <samp>-74</samp>.

*<samp>Crafting</samp>, used for a variety of crafted items. Notably, however, there are some non-craftable items with this type: all tree seeds, various "Weeds", the [[Dwarvish Translation Guide]], [[Coffee]], [[Stardrop]], [[Galaxy Soul]], [[Horse Flute]], and supply crates. Category is either ommitted or <samp>-8</samp>, <samp>-24</samp>, or <samp>-74</samp>.

*<samp>Quest</samp>, used for quest items as well as [[Golden Coconut|Golden Coconuts]]. Category is ommitted.

*<samp>Basic</samp>, a general type for a myriad of items.

*<samp>Cooking</samp>, used for cooked items. Not used for cooking ingredients. Always paired with category <samp>-7</samp>.

*samp>Minerals</samp>, used for Gems and Minerals. Paired with categories <samp>-2</samp> or <samp>-12</samp>, respectively.
