Materials are raw materials that can be found on the surfaces of planets and moons.
Materials do not take up cargo space.[1] Instead, they are tiny quantities stored separately. They remain available when switching between vehicles, and in the case of vehicle destruction they are saved by the pilot's escape system. The maximum that can be carried at once is 300.
Synthesis
- Main article: 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 shot with the Scarab SRV's dual plasma repeater they explode into chunks of Materials, which can be scooped using the 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. As well as sources which are natural parts of the body, there are meteorites which fell from space and perhaps other more mysterious sources to be found.
Material sources discovered so far are:
- Outcrop
- Meteorites:
