Jump Space M Currency Guide

Jump Space M Currency Guide

In Jump Space, players use two primary currencies: Credits (C) and Materia Ingots (M). While Credits purchase cosmetics and gear, **Materia Ingots** fuel ship upgrades, making them critical for long-term advancement in both solo and cooperative modes.

Materia Ingots Explained

**Materia Ingots** are rare materials used to enhance ship components like weapons, engines, and power systems. Most upgrades cost **5 M**, and acquiring them is slower than Credits, creating a strategic bottleneck for players.

Cooperative Mode Mechanics

  • All players receive **equal M rewards** after missions.

  • Resources are **not shared**—co-op doesn’t accelerate progression.

  • Only the **host (Captain)** can install upgrades during a run, but every player retains their M for personal use.

  • Upgrades are **account-bound**, meaning each Captain’s ship remains independent.

Credits vs. Materia Ingots

  • **Credits** fund cosmetics, armor, and helmets—items with no gameplay impact.

  • **Materia Ingots** are exclusive to ship improvements and scarce by design.

  • Both currencies are awarded to all players, but only the host uses their M during a mission.
