Hi everyone,
Finally, with Starfinder, me and my group started to play with the society rules and for now we are having big fun!
I'm a pretty experienced GM but, since the Society rulebook isn't in my native language, i'm scraching my head on how consummable work.
For example in scenario 1-01 "The commencement" Zigvigix give the PCs 2 fire grenades. Does it means every PC get 2 grenades as normal with the rewards and minor item (credits and batteries for example)?
Or the PCs need to buy the item at the end of scenario?
What happen if they use the grenades before the end of scenario? They lost the money anyway?
Thank you in advice for the answers!

So anything that is found or given in a scenario such as the grenades they can use during the scenarios. So they would have to take the 2 grenades and split them up between the players to use.
After the scenario those items are given back to the Society but may appear on the chronicle sheet for purchase. So the players can purchase what loot they may have found during the scenario. They also get the credits that are posted on the Chronicle sheet for the appropriate tier that they played in.

...They also get the credits that are posted on the Chronicle sheet for the appropriate tier that they played in.
It should also be explicitly clarified that, generally speaking, the party will get the number of credits listed in the Chronicle regardless of consumables found and used during the scenario, or the specifics of what they looted during the scenario.
There are some exceptions that may be called out in the scenario text, such as "If the party fails to search this area, reduce the final credits by X" or "If the party gives item Y to a NPC, remove it from the Chronicle sheet." But this saves on the bookkeeping of "you didn't strip the Vesk down to his underwear, so you lose 10 credits."
"Go by what the Chronicle sheet says" also applies to the items that may be opened up for purchase. Unless the scenario says otherwise, if they find a single Unique Grenade that they use during the scenario, if it's on the Chronicle Sheet then it is something they can purchase later. If it *isn't* on the Chronicle sheet, even if they didn't use it, they don't get to keep it beyond the end of the Scenario.
