Crafting Materials are the processed, refined materials that result from putting Raw Materials into a Refinery or Arc Furnace, and are used by an Assembler to produce Components that themselves make up every Block and Tool in the game. These materials largely have no use in Creative Mode as blocks do not need to be constructed in that mode.
It is important to get a feel for which materials are needed for which projects. Iron and Uranium are the most common and most used materials, due to their use in construction and energy production, respectively. Magnesium is highly valued for its ability to make things go boom, and so is used in weapons, both explosive and projectile. Gold is used for circuitry; Silicon for chips and thick glass; and Platinum, Silver, Nickel, and Cobalt for various specialized uses. Gravel is itself very common (coming from the omnipresent Stone), but is only a crafting ingredient in Reactor Components and can otherwise be ignored or trashed.
See the individual articles for each material to see which Components they are used to construct, and see the article on Raw Materials for more information on how to find each raw ore out in the wild.
