I guess its cos there are 28 raw materials. I would have added 2 more, but FDev preferred to not add more, and instead forced to use a 4x7 grid?
Tried to trade for some cadmium, but the entire fifth column is missing lol.

Has anyone found a use for Lead and Boron yet?
Rhenium is the grind material for Human Broker unlocks but it may as well have been one of the existing 25.
That would have left an easy 5x5 grouping.
They are used in synthesis:
Lead -> Enzyme missiles
Boron -> Flechette launcher, er, flechettes
Ok, the point stands then.
New raw materials added for the sake of new grind unlocks.
No real reason not to have used existing materials.
Indeed, either stay at 25 or go to 30. 28 seems the most complex choice.
One reason to introduce new materials: FDev didn't want people unlocking/synthesising stuff on Day 1, with existing stocks of materials.
