'''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 remain available when switching between vehicles, and in the case of vehicle destruction they are saved by the pilot's escape system.
== 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.
They are currently used for 2 main purposes: [[Synthesis]] and [[Engineers|Engineering]].
 
== Material Categories ==
Materials can be classified into 1 of 3 categories.
 
=== [[Raw Materials]] ===
Naturally occurring chemical elements.
 
=== [[Manufactured Materials]] ===
Salvageable components.
 
=== [[Data]] ===
From scanning various sources.
 
== Material Grades ==
Within each material category, materials come in 5 different grades representing their rarity, with rarer materials providing greater effects when used.

== Manufactured Materials ==
== Types ==
'''Manufactured materials '''are salvaged components used only in Engineer Blueprints.
Materials are classified into one of three types determined by their origin and composition:
 
=== Manufactured Material Sources ===
Manufactured materials can be obtained from several sources:
 
==== Ship Salvage ====
When you destroy a ship, it will drop components that you can collect with your [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]]. Some components are only available from certain types of [[ships]]:
 
===== '''Transport Ships''' =====
You will find these in shipping lanes, and in [[Unidentified Signal Source|signal sources]].
 
===== '''Military & Authority Ships''' =====
You will find authority ships in all populated non-[[Government|Anarchy]] systems, ensuring security is maintained. In systems in War or Civil Unrest states, [[Conflict Zone|conflict zones]] will contain military and authority vessels.


===== '''Combat Ships''' =====
*'''[[Raw Materials]]''' - Naturally-occurring chemical elements; usually obtained by [[mining]] and SRV prospecting.
Almost any hostile ship (Pirates) can be considered a 'combat ship'. You will find them in most signal sources, and will have a 'Wanted' status.
*'''[[Manufactured Materials]]''' - Artificial components from ships and structures; usually obtained by [[Salvage|salvaging]].
In all cases, the highest grade materials will usually be dropped by bigger, more powerful, ships e.g. Type-9, Anaconda, Imperial Cutter, etc...  
*'''[[Encoded Materials]]''' - Pieces of data, such as files, chunks of code, and scans; usually obtained by scanning objects.


==== Degraded Emissions ====
== List of materials ==
The most common type of signal source, found almost anywhere in populated space - shipping lanes, deep space, planetary orbit, etc...
Materials are further classified in categories. These are taken into account by [[Material Trader|Material Traders]] when exchanging materials.


'''Contains:''' basic loot, such as common manufactured materials and cargo canisters.
The '''[[:Category:Materials|category page]]''' has a list of all materials.


==== Encoded Emissions ====
=== Raw Materials ===
A less frequently occurring signal source type, found almost anywhere in populated space.
{| class="article-table"
 
'''Contains:''' a Private Data Beacon (or sometimes a satellite, when found around populated Earthlike worlds) which can be scanned for a random data reward, along with common and rare materials.
 
==== High Grade Emissions ====
A rare signal type found in deep space, or around planets, of populated systems. To find one, travel 200 LS above the orbital plane of any populated star system. Your location should show you as being in 'Deep Space'. High grade emissions will spawn here along with other signal types. Higher population system spawn signal types more frequently.
 
'''Contains:''' Contains 3-5 units of very rare materials appropriate to the system state and government.
 
==== Combat Aftermath ====
A signal type found only in Shipping Lanes (the direct route from the current system's primary star to a Starport).
 
'''Contains:''' 5-8 materials of varying grades from a destroyed ship.
 
==== Mission Reward ====
Some missions offer manufactured materials as part of the mission rewards. It is difficult to predict what missions are available at starports, let alone predict what data will be provided as a reward, so it is not recommended that you rely on these. Nevertheless, they are a useful way to acquire materials when not looking for specific data types.
 
'''NOTE:''' Some manufactured materials are '''only''' available as mission rewards.

== Data ==
* [[Meta-Alloys]] are manufactured by [[Thargoid Barnacle|Thargoid Barnacles]].
'''Data''' is gathered by scanning various technological sources. It is stored in a separate data store, up to a maximum of 500 units.


=== Data Sources ===
== Videos ==
Data can be acquired by scanning various suitable source types:
<gallery>
File:HOW_TO_FIND_RARE_ENGINEERING_MATERIALS_ELITE_DANGEROUS
File:Elite Dangerous Odyssey- RAW Material Farming - Fast Way
File:Must-Have Tool for Elite Dangerous- How to Use Odyssey Materials Helper
</gallery>


==== Ships ====
== See also ==
Target any ship (either in [[Supercruise]] or sub-light speeds) and centre it in your field of view. Your ship will scan it automatically, and sometimes you will receive data.
*[[Commodities]]
*[[Assets]]
*[[Goods]]
*[[Data]]


==== Data Beacons ====
== References ==
Found in [[Unidentified Signal Source|Encoded Emissions]] signal sources amongst destroyed ship debris. Target it and centre it in your field of view. Your ship will scan it automatically, and you will receive data (sometimes rare or very rare).
<references />
 
==== Satellites ====
Found in Encoded Emissions signal sources around populated Earthlike worlds, or at some [[Installation|installations]]. As with ships, target it and centre it in your field of view. Your ship will scan it automatically, and you will receive data (often rare or very rare).
 
==== Planetary Outposts ====
Planetary outposts (not Starports) typically have 1 or more [[Data point|data points]] that can be scanned with your SRV's [[Data Link Scanner]]. They come in 3 security levels (Low, Medium, High) and 3 sizes (Small '+', Medium '++', and Large '+++'). Higher security outposts provide rarer data, but also have stronger defences.
 
==== Surface Scan Missions ====
Some missions will require you to scan the data point of a nearby small settlement not otherwise listed in your navigation panel. These settlements can only be found as mission targets, and the data point scan will often produce rare and very rare data.
 
==== Wakes ====
[[Frame Shift Drive Wake|Frame shift drive wakes]] are a source of frame shift related data. You must scan the wake with a [[Frame Shift Wake Scanner]] to retrieve this data.


==== Mission Rewards ====
{{MaterialsNavbox}}
Some missions offer data as part of the mission rewards. It is difficult to predict what missions are available at starports, let alone predict what data will be provided as a reward, so it is not recommended that you rely on these when looking for specific data types. Nevertheless, they are a useful way to acquire data when not looking for specific data types.

Polonium and a SRV

Materials are small resources that are primarily used for Engineering, Synthesis, and unlocking specialised items via a Technology Broker. Material Traders at certain stations can exchange 1 Material type for a quantity of another Material. Materials are essential to build facilities for system colonisation.

Materials do not require space in Cargo Racks.[1] Instead, Materials have a separate inventory and are stored in smaller quantities that do not affect a ship's overall mass. Materials remain accessible when switching between a ship, SRV or SLF. If a commander 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

 2 Common 250
File:Grade-3.png
 3 Standard 200
File:Grade-4.png
 4 Rare 150

 5 Very Rare 100

Types

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