Defined in: src/materials/materials.ts:84

A material grade, 1–5. A material's grade is its rarity — the members are named for the rarity each grade denotes, so there is no separate rarity field.

Raw materials only reach MaterialGrade.Rare (4); grade 5 appears in the manufactured and encoded categories only. The numeric values match Frontier's own grading, so a MaterialGrade compares equal to the plain number (grade === 5). The member name is the rarity — read it with MaterialGrade[grade] ("VeryCommon") if you need a string.
