Summary

Image of all currently known materials and refined ores.

All objects are manufactured from one or more or materials.
The properties of an object are based on the primary material of the object.

Be aware that some properties listed in the ship designer tooltips are incorrect for devices composed of more than one material.

These properties include:

• Structural durability: Has a high relevance in e.g. spaceship design.
  • Structural durability of a spaceship can be monitored by using the Durability tool.
• Armor value, Density, and Transformability are important when choosing the material for armor.
  • The outer plating of spaceships and stations are categorized as armor as well.
• Mass is a factor when using dense, heavy, or just a lot of materials clumped together for a large ship (such as a capital ship).
  • Ships with a large weight value need more thrust power to move.

Materials can break or withstand Damage in different ways:

• Materials can break.
  • Shape and depth of the breakage varies based on the material properties, and impact energy.
• Materials can fracture.
  • The more durable materials don't immediately get destroyed or break off parts, but rather fracture. Some materials fracture faster than others.

Manufacturing cycle

Materials can be both created and used to make other devices and parts in the world.
Here's a generic description of how the manufacturing cycle works:

1. Mining raw Ores. Either by using a Pickaxe, a Mining laser (Assembly) or by transporting asteroids whole.
2. Refining materials to specific use (not yet implemented).
3. Printing devices, parts and ships from different processed materials.

Material statistics

• Armor Value - How much Projectile Energy from weapons the material can resist.

• Voxel Penetration Multiplier - Percentage multiplier to damage depth that weapons cause to materials. Value over 100% indicates that material takes increased voxel damage.

• Heat - Threshold and reflect value for heat status.

• Corrosion - Threshold and reduction value for corrosion.

• Transformability - Represents the material's ability to sustain its form over stressful events such as heat, melting and structural stress. Also represents Allotropic properties.

• Structural durability - How much structural strain object can handle from other objects.

• Density - How dense atomic structure the object has. Higher density improves resistance against radiation and impact damage. Density also improves material's ability to withstand corrosion. Higher Density also affects the object's weight.

• Endurance - Material's Ability to resist overall durability from damage. Higher endurance score reduces threshold against object destruction when missing pieces of the material (fracturing).

Materials

Please note that the values listed below are for refined materials, not ore materials, ore materials have worse properties and are less dense.

Rocks

Surface material of many asteroids. Plentiful, cheap, and constantly in demand due to their wide use in base level manufacturing processes.
