68.53.41.140: Updated the materials storage limit from 600 to 1000 based on the June 15, 2016 server update

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' are chemical elements that can be found on the surfaces of planets and moons.

They do not take up space in [[Cargo Rack|cargo racks]].<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/335 Dev Update (12/11/2015)]</ref> Materials have a separate inventory, and are only stored in tiny quantities. The maximum that can be carried at once is 1000 units.

Materials remain available when switching between vehicles, and in the case of vehicle destruction they are saved by the pilot's escape system.

==Synthesis==
{{Main|Synthesis}}
Materials can be used in Synthesis, in which various temporary bonuses can be made for a [[ship]] or [[SRV]] and ammunition can be refilled.

==Crafting==
In a future expansion during the [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]] season, materials will also be used in a crafting system.

==Material Sources==
Material sources on planets and moons can be located by use of the [[Wave Scanner]] of an [[SRV]]. When they are destroyed by weapons fire from a ship or SRV they explode into chunks of materials, which can be collected using a ship or SRV's [[Cargo Scoop]].

The type of materials vary depending on the geology of the body, the type of world it is and where it is situated.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/3xkuct/the_mercs_of_mikunn_geophysical_expedition/ The Mercs of Mikunn Geophysical Expedition handbook]</ref> As well as sources which are natural parts of the body, there are meteorites which fell from space, cargo racks of downed ships, and perhaps other more mysterious sources to be found.

Material sources discovered so far are:

* [[Outcrop]]
** Common Outcrop - contains non metals <ref name=":0">https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=228645</ref>
** Metallic Outcrop - contains metals <ref name=":0" />
* Meteorites:
** [[Bronzite Chondrite]]
** [[Mesosiderite]]
** [[Metallic Meteorite]]
* [[Cargo Rack (Wreckage)|Cargo Rack]]
