Jump Space M Currency Guide
Jump Space has two main currencies: Credits (C) and Materia Ingots (M). Credits are used for buying cosmetics and gear, while M currency is the core upgrade material for ship systems. Understanding how M works in both solo and co-op is key to long-term progression.
What is M currency in Jump Space
M currency stands for Materia Ingots. These are used to upgrade ship components like engines, power systems, and weapons. Most upgrades require 5 M to unlock or improve a system. Ingots are harder to earn than credits, making them the bottleneck for progression.
How M currency works in co-op
Each player earns the same amount of M at the end of a mission.
Rewards are not pooled, so you do not progress faster in co-op.
The host (Captain) can install upgrades on their ship, but every player keeps their own M for their own ship.
Ship upgrades are tied to your account, not the group, so every Captain is responsible for their own vessel.
M versus Credits
Credits (C) are plentiful and mainly buy cosmetics, armor, and helmets.
Materia Ingots (M) are scarce and focus only on ship progression.
Both are awarded equally to all players, but only the host spends their resources on their own ship during a run.

Final Blurb
Materia Ingots are the main upgrade currency in Jump Space. Every player earns their own supply, even in co-op, and upgrades stay tied to your personal ship. With ingots dropping slowly, managing them wisely is the key to making steady progress.
