Companies

From MCLabs

Looking to boost your chem production? Consider starting or joining a company. The companies system allows you to create or join a "company" of up to 15 players. With a company, you can claim Underworld land to build a base, earn company leaderboard score, and unlock powerful perks and upgrades to boost your chem empire.

Companies are mainly relevant to the Underworld and Raid world, but most company commands can be used in any world, and yours chem sold in Spawn contribute to your company's score.

A company is required to claim your land in the Underworld or establish a core in the Raid World. These worlds offer increased farm output potential. The big downside is that, unlike the Overworld, these worlds reset regularly (the Underworld resets every year with the new season, and the Raid World resets every 3 months). Your company must also pay upkeep (based on the number of chunks you have claimed and upgraded), but the amount is very low for a small company.

Company Basics

General Information

Companies are available in the all worlds but can only be used in the Underworld. If you are leading a company, make sure to set the abilities of different ranks in your company with /c perm. The main commands are listed below, but you can view all of them with /c help as well.

Company Rules

  • Company Hopping: Company hopping (broadly defined as “leaving or remaking a company to avoid restrictions”) is not allowed.
  • Inappropriate Company Names: Company names must generally follow the same rules as chat and nicknames. If your company name is vulgar, derogatory, racist, or references another player without their permission you will be asked to change it.
  • Company Titles and Names: You may not use titles and or color codes to obscure or fake the names of the people in your company.

All server rules must also be followed. You can view those here: Rules.

Company Power

The amount of land your company can claim is limited by the power of your company. Each player has their own amount of power, and the company's power is the total power of every player in the company. The number of chunks you can claim is limited by your company's power.

Dying will not lower your power, your power is a static number.

You can gain more personal company power by ranking up - view Ranks to see how much power is unlocked, and at which ranks.

Company Chemtainer, Lab, and Nexus

Company Chemtainer

The company chemtainer GUI (/c ch). Note the capacity per chem type.

Your company's chemtainer is a shared storage space for chems and compounds. Each chem has a capacity limit, which can be upgraded with a company upgrade based on the chem type. You can withdraw chems from the chemtainer from anywhere but Spawn.

Automatic Farm Collection

In the Underworld and Raid World, when an automatic chem crop grows, it is automatically harvested and sent to your company chemtainer.

Automatic crops include: - Sugar Cane - Melons - Pumpkins - Glow Berries - Cactus

This means you do not need to set up any machines or harvesters to harvest these crops. Simply make sure they have the space they would normally need to grow. When they would normally grow, the growth is cancelled and the result is sent to your company chemtainer.

Automatic farm chems are batch-collected and sent to your chemtainer every 10 seconds.

Chemtainer Furnaces
The company chemtainer furnace management GUI.

Your company chemtainer has built-in virtual furnaces to smelt any smeltable chems stored in your chemtainer. Click the furnace at the top of the company chemtainer GUI to manage them. You can buy more furnaces in this GUI to increase the smelting rate. Smelting is triggered by a batch of automatic farm chems (so make sure you have an automatic farm).

Upgrading Growth Rates

Since there's no cost for this automatic collection, automatic crop growth rates are slower than vanilla by default. You can increase growth rates for both automatic and manual crops by purchasing crop upgrades in /c chunk. Note that these upgrades are on a chunk-by-chunk basis, so it's smart to build your farm for each type of chem in one or two chunks, so you can get the most value out of upgrading the chunk(s).

Manual Crops and Chest Linking

While automatic chems in the Underworld and Raid World go directly to your company chemtainer upon growth, manual chems still drop normally and need to be collected.

The best way to collect manual crops is with Chunk hoppers. They collect all items dropped in a chunk (optionally filtered to only specific items) and move them directly to chests, wirelessly.

You can set up one chest for each chem type to be linked to your company chemtainer. Every 10 seconds, all chems of that type in the chest will be sent to your company chemtainer.

  • Link a chest by looking at it and using /c ch setchest <chem>
  • Similarly, you can set an input chest for fuel (which collects all major fuel type items) with /c ch setchest fuel.
  • Linked chests collection is triggered with every automatic farm batch, so make sure you have some automatic farms set up.

Chemtainer Tool

The chemtainer tool offers a shortcut for unloading chems from your company chemtainer to a chest.

To use it:

  • Get one with /c ch tool <chem>
    • If you'd like to unload compounds, from your Nexus Lab inventory use nexus<1-4> as the chem.
  • Right-click the chest you'd like to unload the chems into.

Note that there is currently corresponding method to manually load chems from chests into the chemtainer. The fastest way to do so is to move them to your inventory and use /c ch qd (quick-deposits all chems in your inventory into the company chemtainer).

Company Lab

The company lab GUI (/c lab)

Your company lab is a space for your company to craft compounds using chems in your company chemtainer. Open the lab GUI with /c lab. The lab can be improved significantly by company upgrades.

Compound Slots

Your company lab starts with 1 compound slot, and can unlock up to 3 more compound slots through company upgrades.

Each compound slot allows you to select a compound to auto-craft. You can have the same compound in more than one slot. Once a compound is selected and the slot is enabled, your company lab will create this compound passively as long as your company chemtainer and lab have the required ingredients. The lab creates compounds in batches (currently 1 per minute). The amount crafted per batch can be increased with the Lab Crafting Rate company upgrade.

Purity

When creating compounds in the company lab, you can optionally choose to apply purity levels to them. Purity increases the chem's rates in one to three main purity branches:

  • Value - How much money a compound sells for at the dealer.
  • Progress - How much prestige progress and Mastery score the compound gives towards prestige unlocks.
  • Score - How much score the compound gives towards leaderboards, events (Lab Wars, Runner Week, Mini-Events, etc.), and missions.
How Purity Works

Each chem has a three-number format that represents its purity levels!

For example: Glompkinide-2-0-3

  • 2 → Level 2 Value Purity
  • 0 → No Progress Purity
  • 3 → Level 3 Score Purity
You can manage compound purity by clicking the potion under a lab slot in /c lab.
Purifying Compounds

To configure the purity of a compound in your company lab, open the lab GUI with /c lab and then click on the potion below the slot. This opens the purity manager GUI where you can:

  • See and adjust current values for each purity branch
  • See the cost-per-craft for your current purity levels
  • Deposit minerals to increase the company lab energy balance.
Purity Multiplier Effects

Each level of purity for a given branch has a multiplier effect when sold at a dealer:

Purity Boost Rates
Purity Type Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Value 1.00x 1.15x 1.30x 1.50x
Progress 1.00x 1.15x 1.30x 1.50x
Score 1.00x 1.15x 1.30x 1.50x
Purity Elements

To craft purified compounds, your company lab must have the right purity elements in stock. These elements are acquired through a few different methods in the Raid World.

There are two types of element for each purity class: Flux and Essence. Flux is necessary to craft purity levels 1-3, and Essence is required to craft purity level 3. Additionally, purity levels 2 and 3 require a small amount of energy.

Purity elements can be acquired from:

  • Spawners in the Raid World (see Raid World Spawners).
  • The Raid World mines (access via Raid World spawn at /raid).
  • From Stockpiles in the Gank & Goon zone.

Lab Inventory

Each compound slot in your company lab has its owner inventory. This inventory is separate from your company chemtainer (though you can also store compounds in your company chemtainer). If the inventory for a slot reaches its capacity, that slot will stop crafting. The capacity for all slots can be increased by the Nexus Inventory Capacity upgrade.

You can withdraw chems from a slot's inventory through the lab GUI, or using the company chemtainer tool (/c ch tool nexus<1-4> corresponding to the lab slot).

If your company has a Raid World base, the chems in your lab inventory can be stolen if your base core is breached. See Raid World for more info.

Company Nexus and Upgrades

Your Company Nexus is the link between your company chemtainer and lab to the Raid World. In the Raid World, you can have a physical Nexus Core chunk. While this core is active, you can generate Raid Points to purchase powerful upgrades from /c upgrades. Read Raid World for a more in-depth guide.

Nexus Core

Your company can have a Nexus Core in the Raid World. This is an additional base built around the core chunk, defended with walls, which can (but doesn't have to) contain farms, spawners, and anything else you'd like. You don't need to build farms here - you can just have your nexus core and walls and still get the benefits while using your Underworld base. Alternatively, you can have no Underworld base and just use your Raid World base for farming. Note that the Raid World resets every 3 months (and new content is added).

Having an active core generates Raid Points which can purchase powerful company upgrades (see below).

Other companies can attempt to raid your core, but note that only your core and walls can be damaged. They cannot raid, grief, or steal from your Raid World base farms, chests, etc. If your core is breached, they can take your Raid Points and lab materials, but not any of your chemtainer chems.

Read Raid World for a more in-depth guide.

Company Upgrades

Raid Points generated by an active Nexus Core can be spent on company upgrades that boost your company in various ways, mainly focused around increasing your capacity to create chems and earn company leaderboard score.

Read Raid World for a more in-depth guide.

Company Upkeep

Your company must pay upkeep every day. You can view your company's daily upkeep breakdown with /c upkeep.

The total upkeep is based on a few factors.

Base upkeep is decided by:

  • Number of chunks claimed in the Underworld.
    • Every chunk you claim increases your daily upkeep.
    • The amount upkeep increases by gets higher with each chunk.
  • Chunk upgrades (/c chunk
    • Each chunk upgrade level increases your daily upkeep.


Upkeep can be reduced by:

  • Being below the company member limit
    • If your company has fewer than 15 members, you will get an upkeep reduction.
    • This reduction is much higher for smaller companies with only a few members.
  • Having excess power
    • Every excess power point (your total power exceeding your number of claims) reduces your company upkeep.
  • Company upgrades (/c upgrades)
    • Base upkeep for chunks and upgrades can be reduced individually with the Upkeep Reduction upgrades.
    • You can the next daily upkeep collection entirely with the Cancel Upkeep upgrade.

Note that your company only has to pay upkeep if your company was active within the last day. Currently, a company is marked as active if:

  • Any crops have been harvested within the company land that day.
  • The company has earned any company leaderboard score that day.
