Enumeration: MaterialLine

Defined in: src/materials/materials.ts:104

The in-game line (group) a material belongs to.

Remarks

The seven raw lines are named after their grade-1 element (Carbon, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Iron, Nickel, Rhenium, Lead). Manufactured and encoded materials use Frontier's group names. Guardian and Thargoid materials — which Frontier files outside the standard groups — are collected under MaterialLine.Guardian and MaterialLine.Thargoid.
