MATERIALS
Materials are used to craft items on crafting tools or stations.
You can find materials in several ways:
* On the surface of a planet, you can SCAVENGE or SCAV to find low end survival and crafting materials.
* You can CONFIGURE, SCAN, and HARVEST with a wielded harvesting tool. You are granted a set of basic harvestors when you land on the surface of a planet.
* Using a mining tool, you can open an underground cavern and pick up materials from within. Not a risk free activity, you have been warned.
* Occasionally hidden lairs, objectives, job awards, or creatures you have defeated will give you materials.
