==List of Materials==

'''Materials''' are small resources that are primarily used for [[Engineers|Engineering]], [[Synthesis]], and unlocking specialised items via a [[Technology Broker]]. [[Material Trader]]s at certain [[Station|stations]] can exchange 1 Material type for a quantity of another Material. Materials are essential to build facilities for [[System Colonisation|system colonisation]].
 
Materials do not require space in [[Cargo Rack]]s.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/335 Community/node: Dev Update (12/11/2015)]</ref> Instead, Materials have a separate inventory and are stored in smaller quantities that do not affect a [[Ships|ship]]'s overall mass. Materials remain accessible when switching between a [[Ships|ship]], [[:Category:Surface Recon Vehicles|SRV]] or [[Ship-Launched Fighters|SLF]]. If a commander [[Redeployment|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.

== Types ==
|
Materials are classified into one of three types determined by their origin and composition:
* [[AFM Refill]]
 
* [[SRV Repair]]
*'''[[Raw Materials]]''' - Naturally-occurring chemical elements; usually obtained by [[mining]] and SRV prospecting.
*'''[[Manufactured Materials]]''' - Artificial components from ships and structures; usually obtained by [[Salvage|salvaging]].
*'''[[Encoded Materials]]''' - Pieces of data, such as files, chunks of code, and scans; usually obtained by scanning objects.
 
== List of materials ==
Materials are further classified in categories. These are taken into account by [[Material Trader|Material Traders]] when exchanging materials.
 
The '''[[:Category:Materials|category page]]''' has a list of all materials.
