Polonium-Material-and-SRV

Polonium and SRV

Materials are small resources that are primarily used in Engineering, Synthesis, and unlocking specialised items through a Technology Broker. Material Traders found at certain stations can exchange Materials of one type for a different quantity of another Material of the same type.

Materials do not take up space in Cargo Racks.[1] Instead, Materials have a separate inventory and are stored in quantities that are small enough that they do not affect a ship's overall mass. Materials remain accessible when switching between a ship, SRV, or Ship-Launcher Fighter, and in the event a pilot loses their vehicle or is critically injured, none of their Materials are lost.

Grades[]

All Materials are sorted into different grades representing their rarity, with rarer materials providing greater effects when used. Manufactured and Encoded Materials use five grades, from Very Common to Very Rare, while Raw Materials only use four, from Very Common to Rare. A Material's grade determines how much of it can be stored at once.

Symbol Grade Rarity Storage Capacity per Material
Grade-1
1 Very Common 300
Grade-2
2 Common 250
Grade-3
3 Standard 200
Grade-4
4 Rare 150
Grade-5
5 Very Rare 100

Types[]

Materials are classified into one of three types determined by their origin and composition:

List of materials[]

Materials are further classified in categories. These are taken into account by Material Traders when exchanging materials.

The category page has a list of all materials.
