Change in allowable Rare Raw Material Inventory?

[CMDR Jumper155]

I’m out collecting rare raw materials such as Polonium, Ruthenium, tellurium, etc and I thought the max was 100. Now it seems to be 150. Is this something new or am I just mis-remembering?

Was also just at a Materials Trader and looked like there were empty boxes that were to the farthest right. I thought it was a glitch; maybe new materials are on the way?

Spacelegs engineering materials so we have to start all new grinds, so those of us that hoard materials don't have a good head start?

The first time you pick up a raw material it sets the max to 100 - this is a bug, when you relog it resets to the correct 150.

There's not been anything on the fifth column of the raw material trader since a very early 3.0 Beta release.

There are no grade 5 raw materials, only grade 4; the limit for grade 4 is 150. Antimony and Polonium used to be grade 5 but were changed to grade 4 a while back. This hasn't changed since then.

If you have never had them before, relog after getting one and the limit goes up.

If you relog ten times then Sky is the limit....

Yeah I mean people seem to take offense with the word "grind" but this is a great example. These things are capped at like 150, not thousands. Did they really need to invent MORE materials just for this crap?

You know it Peter!

Appreciate the information everyone. Just shows that I don’t know half as much as I thought I did.
