Assorted Backburner Items

As seen here, you can find a manifest of nearly every Item ID currently in the game. This includes items that are fully implemented and ones that are not.
I decided to look through this and find items that have IDs but are not yet accessible. There’s dozens, with some having reasons to remain unused while others may have just been forgotten with time. I’ve compiled a list of the ones I could find and organised them into categories that they fall into.

I’ve specifically ignored Upgrades, Arcade, and unused Milestones to condense the list, I’ve also exempted the Workshop Items since that’s a major update on its own.

Accelerate Game World Items

These are items that were originally made for Accelerate maps. While Accelerate is not yet finished, many of these items visually seem finished.


Many of these originate from Sunrise Isles and fit a tropical theme (which especially meshes with the setting of Villa) while some come from Pine Valley (2103 - 2113). Preferrably if these items are not finished, the Camper should have an opening door and interior. Also new Lighthouse PLEASE.

Interactive Items

These are items that were temporarily given an ID and Visuals, but lack any function. What’s odd is that there’s many items in the game that can be currently be purchased that are like this (the Blender, Present, I/O). These don’t specifically need to be added now, but I’m including them for posterity.

Media
While two Disco Ball items come from the Arcade, these are entirely separate and seem to be music visualisers.
173 - Disco Ball
174 - Rave Ball

I/O
While the two Button types that have existed since extremely early on are purchasable, there are two other I/O items that exist in the IDs that have yet to be added to the Catalogue.
556 - Keypad
2146 - Target (presumably)

Toys / Interactive
The infamous guitars are located here, but there also exists another item that I recently requested.
176 - Guitar
179 - Retro Guitar
2139 - Viewfinder (Plaza Binoculars)

Furniture / Building

These are assorted furniture items that haven’t made the cut yet. I’m a big builder and I love having options… and some of these are simply options that I’ve been missing trying to work around.

Building

386 - Spiral Stairs [Presumably this is a scalable set of stairs similar to the existing stairs item]
733 - Casino Railing
843 - Glass Banister
844 - Brick Fence
846 - Victorian Fence Short
847 - Victorian Fence Post [we already have the fence counterpart]
2140 - Indoor Casino Door [Notably there is only an ID for a single door, double variant would be appreciated. I also have a megathread of every unusable door that the devs no doubt despise]
2141 - Indoor Casino Window

Lights
707 - Antique Wall Light [Likely the ones found in Highrise]
708 - Ceiling Light [“A wide fluorescent hanging light, great for illuminating hallways”]
710 - Dual Lights [Would have two controllable light sources, probably didn’t work with current limitations]
712 - Cylindrical Ceiling Light [Different from Spacelight, seems to work with 713 to create continuous light fixtures]
713 - Curved Ceiling Light

Interior
824 - Iron Chair [Reference to the Iron Throne? Maybe a replacement of the HL2 Blue Metal Chair?]
2137 - Ticket Machine [Seen in the Arcade]
2142 - Chalkboard [Possibly interactive, displaying text]
2144 - Check-in Kiosk [Possibly the Condo Desk in the Plaza. Or perhaps related to the Condo feedback system]
2145 - Washing Machine

Exterior
730 - Beach Umbrella 1
731 - Beach Umbrealla 2 [In the Plaza already, they exist to mock us. I requested this previously for the 2021 Summer Update]
2003 - Tombstone [Included with the Halloween 2020 event items]
2132 - Delivery Truck [Seen in ZM Gasoline]
2133 - Motel Sign [Seen in ZM Gasoline]
2134 - Star Fountain [Seen in Virus Deserted]
2136 - Round Fountain
2136 - Market Stall [Either from Virus Deserted or LC Market]
2143 - Outhouse [please]

Building Blocks
There’s also of building blocks that were meant to compliment the PBB furniture set and allow you build around them.

Equippable

Outside of Milestones and the Arcade, there are surprisingly still a few unused Equippables.
470 - Umbrella [Maybe it’d slow your fall-speed?]
2005 - Spooky Wowozela [Added in Halloween 2020, presumably related to the Halloween Catasack]
2138 - Golf Cart [Vehicle Variant of the RC Milestone]

I feel the Furniture / Building section is the segment that should be finished first since many of its items do not need unique programming. And many items in that category are niches that are noticeably empty or barebone (Fence and Door variety namely).

I’ve said this a lot on the discord/forums but I’d seriously really love another huge batch of furniture items like we got way back in 0.5 and 0.6, I try not to use workshop furniture as much as possible & there’s so many props just sitting around in the game that I’d love to decorate my condos with.

I really appreciate the new items that were added in the villa update but there was something really exciting about getting 100+ placeable items in one update, so many new possibilities opened up for building new things and it was really fun experimenting with all of the new items to see what was possible to make with them. That being said though condos have been getting a ton of attention lately and I wouldn’t mind having to wait a bit for something like that to happen again if it means the devs can focus more on other upcoming updates like the laser tag overhaul and arcade/casino phases

(i realize after writing this that i kinda went off on a tangent vaguely related to the topic but I wrote so much I dont really wanna delete it all. I really wanna have all of these items mentioned here though they seem like theyd be super useful for decorating builds)

I also really want another huge Condo catalogue update. I remember that original update just having so much stuff that I wanted. This list was exclusively about items that were already given IDs, because I really would’ve have gone a Megathread tangent about props I’d like (Door and Texture thread). There’s even Backburner items that have been mentioned by the Devs that don’t have IDs (Billiards, Air Hockey) that I didn’t include.

I love building themed areas in my Condos (one of my favourite themes being a Forest Clearing with a Movie Projector) and many Game World items would greatly compliment that.

I went through using Catsack on Discord to see if there were thumbnails for unused items (in the hopes of getting a glimpse). Many items obviously have placeholder icons, but many others have icons that show the item! Any items that aren’t listed lack icons.

Interactive Items

173 - Disco Ball 174 - Rave Ball
Both items share the same icon which is different from expected:

368 - Spiral Stairs

733 - Casino Railing

843 - Glass Banister / 844 - Brick Fence
These ones are somewhat interesting. Their icons currently show multiple lengths of the chainlink fence.

846 - Victorian Fence Short

847 - Victorian Fence Post

707 - Antique Wall Light

708 - Ceiling Light

710 - Dual Light
Once seeing it, I’m now actually kinda excited for this item: It’s a traffic light! Now that that’s known it’s likely meant for I/O.

713 - Curved Ceiling Light

Assorted Oddities

As I was searching through the icons, I noticed a few items that never existed and some that existed for much longer than I previously thought.

Earrings:
There are two Earrings, the Gouger (or Gauge) and Bar. These are very early models and probably come from when Character creation was planned (before Workshop support overwrote that).
image image

Trophies:
Planet Panic, Shooting Gallery, and Bumper Cars already have trophies prepared. Bumper Cars also oddly got their thumbnails updated to the current style…
image image

My favourite discovery (besides the Traffic light tbh) is the Electric Chair:
The Electric Chair is a backer item that’s being added next update, what’s unique about it is that it’s had a model for a long time.
Internally it was originally known as the “Fun Chair”.
