# Materials

There are crafting mechanics and play in Outer Ring, as in many MMORPGs. Players wi**ll be able to create equipment, vehicles, ships...** from a series of essential elements such as iron, carbon, or helium...

Like all other underlying tokens in the game, **they will be minted when taken out of the game into digital wallets and burnt when returned to the game.**

We must distinguish two groups within the manufacturing materials, **the raw material and the processed material**(iron, nickel, xenon, etc.). According to their extraction/obtaining difficulty, both categories will be **organized by tiers, according to their extraction/obtaining difficulty**.

These categories serve to differentiate them when it comes to what interactions can or cannot be made with the market:

**Raw materials can only be processed, stored, or destroyed**. They cannot be traded.

Processed materials, on the other hand, can also be **sold at the auction house, exchanged in a pool, or signed for use in clans or companies.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.outerringmmo.com/tokenized-ecosystem/materials.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
