Technical Goods (Class B)

Medical Bays:
For obvious reasons, these are an integral commodity for larger Metro coalitions, especially those with large armed forces. Medical bays hold medical supplies that can also be used in the field if required. While not specifically tied to R&D, certain medical bays offer key insight into problems that can be used to create better technology.

Books/technical documents:
A novel is hard enough to find in the Metro, but a technical document with useful information is worth gold. Books are rare and extremely valuable commodities in the Metro, where entertainment is few and far between. Because of the connection books have to the past, they are highly sought after by treasure hunters and common folk alike. Fictional books are a luxury that improves the happiness of Metro residents; non-fiction books/technical documents have useful information that would otherwise have been forgotten. Several self published pieces of literature float around the Metro, aiming to rekindle the print medium for at least a little bit longer.

Power Generators:
Power to fuel lights are essential to survival in the Metro. All Metro stations have a power generator that helps run the various utilities and necessities provided to its citizens. However, like most things in Moscow, not all things were equal. Due to the construction of various stations with different thought processes going into their designs, certain stations are resorted to using old hand-cranked generators which can take immense man power to properly use. Inversely, better built and resourceful stations have found way to utilize crude oil, wind turbines in the tunnels, and water turbines in some corridors to power generators without the need for human intervention.

Water Filters:
All creatures need water. Water filters are active in all stations taking in water from the surface or rivers in the Metro tunnels. Many a conflict have been tied to these filters, and their usage is so necessary underground that there have been mass operations to manufacture and develop new filters with materials found within the Metro.

Rail Cars, Trains, Rail Tanks:
1) Rail cars: Most stations own at least one small four-man hand-operated rail car. Richer stations may own motor-operated rail cars.

2) Trains: Very few subway trains work nowadays in the Metro. Only the most powerful factions, such as the Red Line and the Hansa, own working trains.

3) Rail Tanks: As the name suggests, a rail tank is a battle tank on rails. Only the most militaristic factions own rail tanks, such as Das Faust and the Red line.

Firearms/weapons:
Weapons are found in grades in the Metro: makeshift weapons and military grade weapons (see weapon types). The wealthier powers of the Metro, such as Das Faust, the Red line, and the Hansa, as well as famous individuals, can afford the military grade gear unlike the rest of the Metro which only deals in makeshift weaponry.
