Talking about living slim without mentioning how easy it is to buy residual goop from the trade stations and all the trading ships can get you thousands of nanites by refining them into each stage. It doesn’t take long to get stacks of 9,999 if your bouncing stations to farm units, words, and storage upgrades
I had a beautiful exotic royal ship but I accidently traded it for a crashed underwater fighter bcuz my ship slots were full & I didn't know it😢 ive never seen its like again im soo mad
Using a landing pad to take off doesn't use fuel is probably the biggest tip in this video, lol. I just started playing and that has been a massive boost.
Some extra tips Don't be sketchy making bases, even if it's for a single resource or purpose. Find a planet/moon with a low g atmosphere or Low G storm with salvaged data so you can move around and obtain them faster, I also recommend this with Gravitino balls as the low G makes it easy to get away from sentinels and continue collecting. If you ever find curious deposits I highly recommend you place a base next to it as this have hundreds of fungal mild which can then be converted to nanites (side note salvaged data also converts to nanites) Not everyone knows that the Euclid Galaxy that the game takes place in has a total of 255 galaxies you can visit, 1 way that might be available immediately to everyone is that the portal in Anomaly/space station ECT currently have recommended bases, some are in other galaxies I think the 42 Cafe base is in the 10th galaxy aka the 1st Lush Galaxy you can visit and is the most popular/populated.
I was so fortunate on my spawn system because it had a Low G planet with Whispering Eggs EVERYWHERE! So after selling the Larval Cores I got I was able to buy two new ships (a better fighter and a awesome looking solar) and a Freighter ship with 5 frigates so I'm pretty much very invested into this game and I'm only one week in
@@stussyvibes7944 oh damn. if only i knew about those before. i also got those on my very first time playing the game and got mauled to death by whatever was guarding those. i kinda got upset and stopped paying for a long while to play other games on my backlog. when i started playing nms again, i deleted my file and started over T_T
A tip I'd add is to complete the base related side quests as soon as possible. They give you useful blueprints, like the storage units and exocraft bays, that would normally cost dozens of salvaged data if purchased at the anomaly instead.
Another tip. When you're fighting the sentinels early on you can use the terrain manipulator to build some quick cover. If you're quick about it you can build basically a mud hut that bottle necks the enemies in front of you to make them easier to kill. You might have to pop out every now and then to kill the repair drones or the drone spawners.

My extra tips for starting out. You can use stations to find wrecked starships. When you find one, improve it only enough to fly it to the nearest space station, then scrap it for the units. Last night I did this twice and made 5M in a half hour or so. When I find the first planet with gold or some similar resource early on, I spend a little extra time mining it for my first small pot of units, which saves me having to figure out how to get the last few thousand for those early purchases. I avoid doing all that much mining for salvaged data and instead race to unlock the anomaly so that I can purchase the roamer bay and purchase the upgrades that make the chore tons easier. When you build your first base, take the extra time to set up a portal. This takes the place of parking the base close to a trade outpost and is much more convenient since you can trade without ever entering the starship. Finally, explore community builds so that you can go the local space station and collect your exosuit upgrade from the vendor closest to the appearance station. Did I miss anything?
My tip for starting out is never play this garbage game again.. shity first shooter attempt in a game. Space combat is fucking garbage. All you do is collect resources and do bs stupid missions that are repetitive over and over and over again
I prefer destroying the sentinels and taking out the walker as it deactivates the pesky guys for as long as you stay in the planet (and you keep playing). Definitely useful in high sentinel activity planets as hiding or running away will keep them pestering you.
@@DRAEK05 That shouldn't be happening, unless the newest update had "fixed" that. Did you try looting the walker after taking it down? Also, that may happen when the Sentinels send walkers before the very last wanted level (haven't had that happen more than once. But had a Walker thrown at me at wanted 3 and then the last two at wanted 5. Had to take them down both for the Sentinels to deactivate).
@@DRAEK05 hmmm. Either they "fixed" it or it depends on your difficulty settings. Makes sense since killing a walker should reveal a node's location which in turn you could use to turn off sentinel activity. Not that I agree with that choice, but would make sense they patched it
Oh and dont forget about the power diversion in your starship. You can go so much faster with power diverted to engines and so much more damage with power diverted to weapons and take so much more damage with power diverted to shields. I know on PlayStation it's the up arrow but idk about pc or xbox
Just started playing this again this week. Did not know about the terrain manipulator size yielding more resources. Neat. This game is overwhelming sometimes
That is an excellent video. I’ve played No Man’s Sky on and off since launch. I always eventually get frustrated with resource bottlenecks and “inventory full”. These are some great tips.
Solid advice. Excavating the ancient bones is worth it for me, some are worth over a million units. Got lucky on my first dig now I don't pass them by.
Nicely done. This is a very good guide for new players. I'm an old salt in the game, but I still appreciate folks like you putting these together. Happy Exploring!

Most efficient way to earn money early on is buying distress signal charts then if it’s a crashed ship, fixing the launch thrusters and pulse engines (shields too if you want to be extra safe) then flying to the space station and salvaging it. Least I’ve gotten from salvaging a ship is 2 mil

I have not played it, but by the looks of it the game seems really complex. Therefore I don't understand why people call it repetitive and underwhelming. Well I will figure it out myself soon, just bought it :-D
Honestly, I would say as somewhat of a no mans sky veteran myself, it does get rather repetitive most of the time, that is unless you don't mind exploring planet after planet that are basically more or less carbon copies of one another, but what helps is all the various planet types and how you can basically have your preferences and favorites and choose which ones you want to build bases, farm for resources, etc. And honestly a lot of it is in the mindset as well. I find myself enjoying the game a lot more when I slow down and take in the environment of various planets, studying them, reading the information and descriptions of various animals and plantlife, categorizing and naming planets and creatures things that would actually make sense and feeling like I'm in a unique world of it's own. You can actually learn some incredibly fascinating things just simply reading creature descriptions. I also like to keep track of my personal records and what the hottest or most radioactive planet I've ever discovered is, etc. I think a lot of the people still bashing the game heavily are thinking of the original release of the game, and if the game were still in that state, then the criticisms would be necessary, and justified. But the game has come so far and is almost unrecognizable from what it previously was. It's one of my favorite games now. It's still pretty fair to say its repetitive, but I think with a couple more good updates depending on what they add or change, could truly make this game a 10/10 legendary game that stands the test of time. I can't help but feel like there's still something missing, but I can't figure out what that something is.
Thanks for the video, didn't know about the freighter and the nanites from refining. Just bought the game the weekend and you saved me a lot of lost nanite clusters XD
In a medium refiner, if you add Concentrated Carbon to Ferrite Dust, you'll get Magnetic Ferrite at (I believe) a 1:2 ratio. Take half of that Magnetic Ferrite, and put it back through the refiner for Pure Ferrite at a 1:2 ratio. From there, you can add the Pure Ferrite to any stellar metal (cadmium, indium, copper, emeril, and all of their "activated" variants) and you'll get quite a bit more Chromatic Metal from them. Copper comes out at a 1:1 ratio, instead of 2:1, while activated indium comes out at 1:6. You can make all your carbon into Concentrated Carbon without too much worry. It'll double the slot space, and get refined at 1:2 carbon when you need it. Keep in mind that Carbon goes at 2:1 to Concentrated Carbon. The same goes for Sodium, and it also makes the Sodium more effective in recharging your Hazard Protection. Need Nanites? Shoot all the Atlantideum you lay your eyes on. It'll make Pugneum at a 1:2 ratio, and then Nanites at 25:1. There are other ways of making Nanites these days. Inverted Mirrors, Hyaline Brains, and Resonant Shards are all good sources, however, the Hyaline Brain takes finding a Dissonance Spike, or shooting down a Sentinel ship. Inverted Mirrors come from the Dissonance Injectors, so you either destroy all the Sentinels when you destroy the Injector, or run like hell until the timer runs out. I've been playing this game since 2016. I think I know my way around some stuff.
My friend just got me playing and by far the best way to make credits at the start has been collect these larval core eggs. Made a couple million so far. Its dangerous but it hasn't attracted any sentinels.
New update just dropped. About to do a reinstall and fresh run. Checking to see if there was anything I didn't know despite having played for dozens of hours and there was! Didn't know about the nanite refining!
Build mining bases and you'll never have to bother with mining resources by hand again. You'll need to install a survey device in your scanner and unlock the Mineral Extractor and silos. While in space scan planets for whichever element that you need, as always the most abundant resource will be at the top. Land on said planet, find a deep deposit of what you want and then slap down a base computer. I've found that 9 extractors set up like a tic tac toe grid is more than enough and of course set up silos. I like to make a mining building, with extractors on the ground floor, silos on the second and then a roof covered with solar panels to keep everything as resource cheap as possible. Your mining equipment will only mine when the sun is up but this is all hands off once it's built anyway so who cares. Last step is a teleporter to get back to the mine easily, just make sure that you have a battery attached to it so you can come and go as you please. Every element in the game can be mined in this way, from oxygen to activated metals. Except ferrite, that needs an extra step. You'll be looking for rusted metal deposits, mine that and then refine it to ferrite dust. Refine it into whatever you need from there. A bit annoying but ferrite is a building block for almost everything in the game so I get why. So there you have it, happy mining. After your mines are set up you'll have so much of every resource that you'll end up selling all of it off, making so much money you'll forget that things have prices.

Launch fuel can be set to off in settings. Personally that's the thing that bored me the most when the game launched. Having the option to turn it off was an actual game changer
You cant really complete it bcuz there are too many planets to explore. If you are an o CD completionist then no this is not the game for you cause you will never end it
Traders on Outlaw space stations have a chance to sell residual goop which can be refined (although it takes several steps) into nanites. I'll spend hours doing this if I really need them. Keep in mind it's a 5:1 conversion

I never understood the storage issue. You can own 12 ships and each ship itself is a storage unit. I call in the whole fleet when it comes to crafting though. Gotta remember what ships have what supplies lol😅

The freighter rescue events are more common the higher the conflict level of a system. I can't confirm, but I believe you have a better chance at A or S tier in blue star systems. I kept getting crappy C tiers until I thought of trying a blue star since you need the indium drive to get there. First attempt and I got an a class sentinel dreadnought.
For the storage one, get the matter transfer beam or whatever its called installed on your frieghter. Then you can access all of your storage containers anywhere just by summoning your freighter
Very good list. I would add: gravitino filled planets are the way to go for quick collecting of money, and are the ones with aggressive sentinels. Note that you can scan planets from space in order to quickly find the ones you're looking for without landing on each. The best way for collecting nanites is through "strange deposit", balls marked with three stars in the scanner, that roll when we shoot them, so them plus a base with a teleport out and back in order to force their respawn
@@cuckycuckcuck7431 Yes but for crystals you need to wait for a storm to happen so that they appear, and you'll find 2-4 of them every 100u or more, whereas gravitino you can find 10-15 of them every 50u or less. It's a much better deal!
@@cuckycuckcuck7431There's this awesome planet that I discovered that I named, "The Shadow Ashlands" that has crazy volcanoes that have green lava coming out of them and there's these crazy lightning storms on the planet and anytime I'm in need of easy units, I just warp to my base there and collect tens of storm crystals, plus there's also ancient fossils within the land so I'm grabbing those in between storms and it makes me so much money. Really good stuff.
Another thing you can do for storage is use the vehicles after you make it to the anomaly and unlock them.. All you have to do is have the thing to summon them on the planet and use that to spawn them in then go collecting and summon them to you for storage or to drive around, just don't crash into anything because it will destroy the materials..
After being disappointed by starfield (cant run it sadly) seeing how far NMS has come is amazing. I remember launch day of this game and to see it’s growth is awesome
Its the worst optimized game I have ever seen. I run star citizen (a much more demanding and notorious game) no problem but the 2010 graphics starfield drops fps left and right at 1080p. Such a joke.
It's the same garbage game as launch day. The first shooter experience is absolute trash. Same with space combat. Your missions or just repeat over and over again with just different resources or things that you can win for completing the game... This game is a waste of a life
@@ToxicTurtleIsMadthis game is worst game all-around shity graphics. All you do is collect resources. Shity first-person shooter.. shity space combat. And in the Nexus missions or just repeat. Scan plants go retrieve data. The only difference is you win the same stupid shit in different combinations.. all you're doing is grinding for bulshit
@@traviskey5695 I remember launch day and it is absolutely not the same. The game loop is more or less so ill give you that. Might want to tighten up tho bro i can sense the bitterness thru the text. Chill out a bit?
Omg the green mold stuff is helpful... Oh noooo haha. Thank you so much for this amazing video! I'm debating picking this up on the new MacOS version. Thanks :)
OMG, I never knew the part about slime into nanites. I have deleted so much slime in my time playing this game. All those nanites I could have got trough that. Thanks
rust can also be melted into ferrite dust, very useful for survival where resources are mined in smaller quantities and you find a lot of rust in containers
many different resources can be smelted into nanites, such as pugnium, radiant shards, platinum, larva cores, inverted mirror (this one gives 95nanites!)
Absolute best way to make millions quick in the beggining of the game, enough to start simple trade routes, is to find planets with ancient bones or salvagable scrap and dig the stuff up
@@STOPSYPHERI thought it was a sarcasm from the previous commenter :) My POV is that in NMS there is always smth to do without spawning tons of money. Let yourself wander around in the game, you'll have tons of money eventually :)
After so many hours into the game, I don't realize you can choose between inventory slot or technology slot upgrade. And two exosuit upgrade in each system.
Great tips, thanks! I played NMS back in 2019, & just picked it up on sale for the Switch. Looking forward to playing it after beating 'Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom'
yes, number of good tips I didn't know. I wanted to repair a crashed ship I found early on, but even though I had the parts, it wouldn't let me fix the propulsion I didn't try other systems because I heard I only need propultion and one other to get to a station to sell it.
I only have about 20 hours in the game so far, but I found a really easy way to make tons of credits and nanites. If you don't know how the process of getting a sentinel interceptor works, look it up. Each sentinel ship is worth millions, and the higher classes really make bank. If you scrap them at a station, you'll also get some really good tech upgrades, which you can either use or sell for hundreds of nanites a piece. It takes some time to go through the whole process of collecting an interceptor, but if it means you don't have to worry about all the "little" ways of saving or making credits. Also they are just really cool ships.
Yes, I think that farming these ships breaks the economy, money is too easy and fast, although in this game you can earn a lot of money in other honest ways, even passively. I wish there were more slots for ships and multi-tools, I like to collect interesting looking things, otherwise the money has nowhere to go
@@rostislavkovalev Yeah No Man's Sky is great, I just wish there was more to the storyline or more to do. It feels like once you collect everything the game just kind of stops. I know there's base building and all, but personally I'm not a big fan of the way bases work in this game and I'd rather turn to something like Subnautica or Minecraft for base building. I really wish we had fleet battles or some kind of combat rework.
FASTEST WAY TO GET NANITES: Go to an outlaw station and buy all the contraband and tech and weapons suspicious packets. Open the packets and save the modules. Go do missions in the meantime. Every time you come back to the station buy mor suspicious packets. Once youve got a bunch of suspicious modules sell them for a boatload of nanites. I earned like 40,000 in less than an hour and a half

You can also buy a ton of exo-suit upgrade charts from some planet stations too. If your lucky enough. I've found them to be in the 40's+. Their alot cheaper then purchasing them in space stations and the anomaly.
You don't wanna get an S class Freighter not anymore as if you level up the freighter your self from c to s its stats will surpass those that were already s class from the start. This will take you some time but its definitely worth it in the end!
My friends and I got our early game money kicks by buying and selling all the cobalt in different systems lol up until recently we each had maxed out haulers full of stacks of cobalt until we learned about way more fun/efficient ways of making money lol

I just got into this game. Ps5 had it in sale for $23. It absolutely amazing, but most of the time,idk what the hell im supposed to be doing. I get sidetracked, when im sidetracked, just to get sidetracked again
I just started playing, and some random player at the anomaly gave me a bunch of stuff worth like 600 million units… I sold it at the trade terminal but I sort of feel bad because it feels a bit like cheating
I have played about 70 hours and i started quite recently. Thats not alot of hours for this game I know. When I first started it felt so open I do love this game. But I feel like I can see the scope of the game now after my 70 hours and it could do with openeing up abit more. I find the questing a little to slow. Atlas path takes a while for what's happening. Galatic cores pretty long winded. And I feel like there's not enough objectives being giving to me random ones. I know it's hard to set proper quests in a certain location due to game mechanics. But I do need something that's not goner take ages to initiate that can pull me away from building and upgrading my tools and ship. And something which offers progress in some form with that.
Does anyone else just collect 3 or 4 crashed ships, fix them up & dump rarely used resources and components into each & summon them as necessary when updgrades are needed? This is before i made any home base & now I'm wondering if i will bother.
This might be a dumb question as I'm very new but what's the point of building a base on a planet when you can just build stuff on your freighter and you can call the freighter to whatever system you are in?
Actually you can build about 10 basic refineries and after you build the first one input whqat ever you want more of an then just keep building new refineries on top of the first one and I mean right on top of them and then reclaim them and it will almost double what you put into it. Works with everything!
Also if you set the multi tool to flatten, you can excavate bigger and more even holes rather than blasting circles into everything. Makes it alot easier to make caves in the middle of storms
bro im crying i was on a deliver and warp and a battle started he offer me the frieter but i didnt know what that means then i landed on it tryed buying it but them i seen s class
I prefer 3rd person, especially when on the ground! 1st person can be good fun when flying around though - some of the screens inside the cockpit of your ship are actually showing 'live' info which is cool to look at.

Find a planet/moon with a low g atmosphere or Low G storm with salvaged data so you can move around and obtain them faster, I also recommend this with Gravitino balls as the low G makes it easy to get away from sentinels and continue collecting.
If you ever find curious deposits I highly recommend you place a base next to it as this have hundreds of fungal mild which can then be converted to nanites (side note salvaged data also converts to nanites)
Not everyone knows that the Euclid Galaxy that the game takes place in has a total of 255 galaxies you can visit, 1 way that might be available immediately to everyone is that the portal in Anomaly/space station ECT currently have recommended bases, some are in other galaxies

Another tip. When you're fighting the sentinels early on you can use the terrain manipulator to build some quick cover. If you're quick about it you can build basically a mud hut that bottle necks the enemies in front of you to make them easier to kill. You might have to pop out every now and then to kill the repair drones or the drone spawners.

@@DRAEK05 hmmm. Either they "fixed" it or it depends on your difficulty settings. Makes sense since killing a walker should reveal a node's location which in turn you could use to turn off sentinel activity. Not that I agree with that choice, but would make sense they patched it
Oh and dont forget about the power diversion in your starship. You can go so much faster with power diverted to engines and so much more damage with power diverted to weapons and take so much more damage with power diverted to shields. I know on PlayStation it's the up arrow but idk about pc or xbox
Just started playing this again this week. Did not know about the terrain manipulator size yielding more resources. Neat. This game is overwhelming sometimes
That is an excellent video. I’ve played No Man’s Sky on and off since launch. I always eventually get frustrated with resource bottlenecks and “inventory full”. These are some great tips.
Solid advice. Excavating the ancient bones is worth it for me, some are worth over a million units. Got lucky on my first dig now I don't pass them by.
Very nice!
1:48 It's more efficient to craft the hydrogen jelly and then refine it in to hydrogen.
Nicely done. This is a very good guide for new players. I'm an old salt in the game, but I still appreciate folks like you putting these together. Happy Exploring!

YOU CAN TURN RUNAWAY MOULD INTO NANITES???? IVE THROWN AWAY THOUSANDS OF RUNAWAY MOULD
Also my reaction when I realised...
And now mine as well….
Most efficient way to earn money early on is buying distress signal charts then if it’s a crashed ship, fixing the launch thrusters and pulse engines (shields too if you want to be extra safe) then flying to the space station and salvaging it. Least I’ve gotten from salvaging a ship is 2 mil

I have not played it, but by the looks of it the game seems really complex. Therefore I don't understand why people call it repetitive and underwhelming. Well I will figure it out myself soon, just bought it :-D
They folk are the one talking about the game at release
Honestly, I would say as somewhat of a no mans sky veteran myself, it does get rather repetitive most of the time, that is unless you don't mind exploring planet after planet that are basically more or less carbon copies of one another, but what helps is all the various planet types and how you can basically have your preferences and favorites and choose which ones you want to build bases, farm for resources, etc. And honestly a lot of it is in the mindset as well. I find myself enjoying the game a lot more when I slow down and take in the environment of various planets, studying them, reading the information and descriptions of various animals and plantlife, categorizing and naming planets and creatures things that would actually make sense and feeling like I'm in a unique world of it's own. You can actually learn some incredibly fascinating things just simply reading creature descriptions. I also like to keep track of my personal records and what the hottest or most radioactive planet I've ever discovered is, etc. I think a lot of the people still bashing the game heavily are thinking of the original release of the game, and if the game were still in that state, then the criticisms would be necessary, and justified. But the game has come so far and is almost unrecognizable from what it previously was. It's one of my favorite games now. It's still pretty fair to say its repetitive, but I think with a couple more good updates depending on what they add or change, could truly make this game a 10/10 legendary game that stands the test of time. I can't help but feel like there's still something missing, but I can't figure out what that something is.
Like anything, once you get the hang of it it’s great.
Thanks for the video, didn't know about the freighter and the nanites from refining. Just bought the game the weekend and you saved me a lot of lost nanite clusters XD
Glad I could help!
In a medium refiner, if you add Concentrated Carbon to Ferrite Dust, you'll get Magnetic Ferrite at (I believe) a 1:2 ratio. Take half of that Magnetic Ferrite, and put it back through the refiner for Pure Ferrite at a 1:2 ratio. From there, you can add the Pure Ferrite to any stellar metal (cadmium, indium, copper, emeril, and all of their "activated" variants) and you'll get quite a bit more Chromatic Metal from them. Copper comes out at a 1:1 ratio, instead of 2:1, while activated indium comes out at 1:6.
You can make all your carbon into Concentrated Carbon without too much worry. It'll double the slot space, and get refined at 1:2 carbon when you need it. Keep in mind that Carbon goes at 2:1 to Concentrated Carbon. The same goes for Sodium, and it also makes the Sodium more effective in recharging your Hazard Protection.
Need Nanites? Shoot all the Atlantideum you lay your eyes on. It'll make Pugneum at a 1:2 ratio, and then Nanites at 25:1. There are other ways of making Nanites these days. Inverted Mirrors, Hyaline Brains, and Resonant Shards are all good sources, however, the Hyaline Brain takes finding a Dissonance Spike, or shooting down a Sentinel ship. Inverted Mirrors come from the Dissonance Injectors, so you either destroy all the Sentinels when you destroy the Injector, or run like hell until the timer runs out.
I've been playing this game since 2016. I think I know my way around some stuff.
maybe you should script my videos instead...😂
Thanks for sharing this!
This is a great video thanks. Just a few days in on the game and still finding the ropes.
Glad to hear you found it useful!
My friend just got me playing and by far the best way to make credits at the start has been collect these larval core eggs. Made a couple million so far. Its dangerous but it hasn't attracted any sentinels.
New update just dropped. About to do a reinstall and fresh run. Checking to see if there was anything I didn't know despite having played for dozens of hours and there was! Didn't know about the nanite refining!
Build mining bases and you'll never have to bother with mining resources by hand again.
You'll need to install a survey device in your scanner and unlock the Mineral Extractor and silos. While in space scan planets for whichever element that you need, as always the most abundant resource will be at the top. Land on said planet, find a deep deposit of what you want and then slap down a base computer.
I've found that 9 extractors set up like a tic tac toe grid is more than enough and of course set up silos. I like to make a mining building, with extractors on the ground floor, silos on the second and then a roof covered with solar panels to keep everything as resource cheap as possible. Your mining equipment will only mine when the sun is up but this is all hands off once it's built anyway so who cares. Last step is a teleporter to get back to the mine easily, just make sure that you have a battery attached to it so you can come and go as you please.
Every element in the game can be mined in this way, from oxygen to activated metals. Except ferrite, that needs an extra step. You'll be looking for rusted metal deposits, mine that and then refine it to ferrite dust. Refine it into whatever you need from there. A bit annoying but ferrite is a building block for almost everything in the game so I get why.
So there you have it, happy mining. After your mines are set up you'll have so much of every resource that you'll end up selling all of it off, making so much money you'll forget that things have prices.

Thank you!! I'm seriously new to the game, and all these neat tips really help my hind 🙏😌.
Happy to help!
Maybe this is a given, but I found an upgrade to the exosuit which gives 1-3 extra salvaged data per. Well worth the slot.
Launch fuel can be set to off in settings. Personally that's the thing that bored me the most when the game launched. Having the option to turn it off was an actual game changer
You can just cheese the dihydrogen tho

I am SO into the idea of no man’s sky but I find the scope of the game overwhelming.
You cant really complete it bcuz there are too many planets to explore. If you are an o CD completionist then no this is not the game for you cause you will never end it
I don't know if it's just early game, but if you dig down a little bit then cover the hole up with the create setting, they can't find you either.
The AI was upgraded with the Sentinels update;
making it much more difficult to cheese their line of sight.
@@Olkv3D Ahh, I guess that makes sense.
@@LWolf12 a little too much, I think
@@Olkv3Dnope you can still cheese but the dogs can glitch in holes so try to make hole before the dogs come out
I’ve found that if you blast a hole in the planet far enough, they’ll see you but they wont attack and you can just pick them off
I get the feeling I’ll be watching this again soon
Also dog fight in space gives nice items to sell nanos or drones
Traders on Outlaw space stations have a chance to sell residual goop which can be refined (although it takes several steps) into nanites. I'll spend hours doing this if I really need them. Keep in mind it's a 5:1 conversion

I never understood the storage issue. You can own 12 ships and each ship itself is a storage unit. I call in the whole fleet when it comes to crafting though. Gotta remember what ships have what supplies lol😅

Pro tip: do not scrap ships at pirate stations. There still is a ship glitch that removes your the scrapped ship + the one you were in.
The freighter rescue events are more common the higher the conflict level of a system. I can't confirm, but I believe you have a better chance at A or S tier in blue star systems. I kept getting crappy C tiers until I thought of trying a blue star since you need the indium drive to get there. First attempt and I got an a class sentinel dreadnought.
Wow! Wish I knew about the uploading and the refining slime thing. Thanks for the information
For the storage one, get the matter transfer beam or whatever its called installed on your frieghter. Then you can access all of your storage containers anywhere just by summoning your freighter
Thanks for these tips. I just decided to jump back in after about 6 years! A lot has changed!
Very good list. I would add: gravitino filled planets are the way to go for quick collecting of money, and are the ones with aggressive sentinels. Note that you can scan planets from space in order to quickly find the ones you're looking for without landing on each. The best way for collecting nanites is through "strange deposit", balls marked with three stars in the scanner, that roll when we shoot them, so them plus a base with a teleport out and back in order to force their respawn
storm crystals make much better profits than gravitino balls.
@@cuckycuckcuck7431 Yes but for crystals you need to wait for a storm to happen so that they appear, and you'll find 2-4 of them every 100u or more, whereas gravitino you can find 10-15 of them every 50u or less. It's a much better deal!
@@cuckycuckcuck7431There's this awesome planet that I discovered that I named, "The Shadow Ashlands" that has crazy volcanoes that have green lava coming out of them and there's these crazy lightning storms on the planet and anytime I'm in need of easy units, I just warp to my base there and collect tens of storm crystals, plus there's also ancient fossils within the land so I'm grabbing those in between storms and it makes me so much money. Really good stuff.
Watching a ton of no man sky videos before I get it on switch!
Another thing you can do for storage is use the vehicles after you make it to the anomaly and unlock them.. All you have to do is have the thing to summon them on the planet and use that to spawn them in then go collecting and summon them to you for storage or to drive around, just don't crash into anything because it will destroy the materials..
After being disappointed by starfield (cant run it sadly) seeing how far NMS has come is amazing. I remember launch day of this game and to see it’s growth is awesome
Its the worst optimized game I have ever seen. I run star citizen (a much more demanding and notorious game) no problem but the 2010 graphics starfield drops fps left and right at 1080p. Such a joke.
It's the same garbage game as launch day. The first shooter experience is absolute trash. Same with space combat. Your missions or just repeat over and over again with just different resources or things that you can win for completing the game... This game is a waste of a life
@@ToxicTurtleIsMadthis game is worst game all-around shity graphics. All you do is collect resources. Shity first-person shooter.. shity space combat. And in the Nexus missions or just repeat. Scan plants go retrieve data. The only difference is you win the same stupid shit in different combinations.. all you're doing is grinding for bulshit
@@traviskey5695 I remember launch day and it is absolutely not the same. The game loop is more or less so ill give you that. Might want to tighten up tho bro i can sense the bitterness thru the text. Chill out a bit?
@@traviskey5695 Said nobody with functioning brain cells
My tip is naming planets or even galaxies before uploading them. Helps when you look at the teleporter and can return to the good ones
These are very helpful! Thanks🎉
@@jonathandiaz-ld1gv Great to hear! ☺️
Thanks for the great video. I just played the Omega expedition trial and this game is amazing! I had to purchase it within an hour of playing.
Omg the green mold stuff is helpful... Oh noooo haha. Thank you so much for this amazing video! I'm debating picking this up on the new MacOS version. Thanks :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video! I played NMS when it came out and am about to start back after about 2 years away. Great tips!
OMG, I never knew the part about slime into nanites. I have deleted so much slime in my time playing this game. All those nanites I could have got trough that.
Thanks
rust can also be melted into ferrite dust, very useful for survival where resources are mined in smaller quantities and you find a lot of rust in containers
many different resources can be smelted into nanites, such as pugnium, radiant shards, platinum, larva cores, inverted mirror (this one gives 95nanites!)
Absolute best way to make millions quick in the beggining of the game, enough to start simple trade routes, is to find planets with ancient bones or salvagable scrap and dig the stuff up
or turn on the setting that allows free crafting/researching, craft a stack of the most expensive stuff you can, and sell it for billions at once.
@@STOPSYPHER yea i dont like playing the game either
@@glitchedReaper333 me either the gameplay loop is boring, it’s nice to be able to actually progress
@@STOPSYPHERI thought it was a sarcasm from the previous commenter :)
My POV is that in NMS there is always smth to do without spawning tons of money. Let yourself wander around in the game, you'll have tons of money eventually :)
After so many hours into the game, I don't realize you can choose between inventory slot or technology slot upgrade. And two exosuit upgrade in each system.
Great tips, thanks! I played NMS back in 2019, & just picked it up on sale for the Switch. Looking forward to playing it after beating 'Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom'
0:57 no way i didn't know i could do that 😂
yes, number of good tips I didn't know.
I wanted to repair a crashed ship I found early on, but even though I had the parts, it wouldn't let me fix the propulsion I didn't try other systems because I heard I only need propultion and one other to get to a station to sell it.
Thank you for this!
It helped me a lot.
Glad to hear that!
Extra storage Thing blew my mind
Thanks I think I will love no man sky !!!!!!!!!! It look great and powerful playing! I think it the best game for ps4 or Xbox one best game of 2023
Nice video. Very helpful. Thank you!
Great to hear! You are very welcome 😁
Amazing tips and good commentary, earned yourself a sub!
Very late reply from me here but thank you!!!
I only have about 20 hours in the game so far, but I found a really easy way to make tons of credits and nanites. If you don't know how the process of getting a sentinel interceptor works, look it up. Each sentinel ship is worth millions, and the higher classes really make bank. If you scrap them at a station, you'll also get some really good tech upgrades, which you can either use or sell for hundreds of nanites a piece. It takes some time to go through the whole process of collecting an interceptor, but if it means you don't have to worry about all the "little" ways of saving or making credits. Also they are just really cool ships.
Yes, I think that farming these ships breaks the economy, money is too easy and fast, although in this game you can earn a lot of money in other honest ways, even passively. I wish there were more slots for ships and multi-tools, I like to collect interesting looking things, otherwise the money has nowhere to go
@@rostislavkovalev Yeah No Man's Sky is great, I just wish there was more to the storyline or more to do. It feels like once you collect everything the game just kind of stops. I know there's base building and all, but personally I'm not a big fan of the way bases work in this game and I'd rather turn to something like Subnautica or Minecraft for base building. I really wish we had fleet battles or some kind of combat rework.
FASTEST WAY TO GET NANITES: Go to an outlaw station and buy all the contraband and tech and weapons suspicious packets. Open the packets and save the modules. Go do missions in the meantime. Every time you come back to the station buy mor suspicious packets. Once youve got a bunch of suspicious modules sell them for a boatload of nanites. I earned like 40,000 in less than an hour and a half

17 hours in. Still have the starter ship lol.
I put most of my effort into may base
What type of planet is your base on?
You can also buy a ton of exo-suit upgrade charts from some planet stations too. If your lucky enough. I've found them to be in the 40's+. Their alot cheaper then purchasing them in space stations and the anomaly.
Amazing video for a beginner. Thanks bro
nice video, straight to the point
You don't wanna get an S class Freighter not anymore as if you level up the freighter your self from c to s its stats will surpass those that were already s class from the start. This will take you some time but its definitely worth it in the end!
Best tips so far. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Just discovered this game. I ran out of fuel between planets; What a pain !
My friends and I got our early game money kicks by buying and selling all the cobalt in different systems lol up until recently we each had maxed out haulers full of stacks of cobalt until we learned about way more fun/efficient ways of making money lol
Just found a planet found by you on my first day😂
It's the planet with Oxygen Farm Alpha on it😂
Incredible ty
I find selling salvaged data can make you insanely rich early game
It would probably be faster to build a teleporter and travel to a space station 1 time then it would be to find an on planet trade station.
0:58 I’m so mad right now. Thinking about all those wasted resources… 😢
As someone who is getting back into the game with a stockpile of chlorine credits, this really helps
For Nanite go in pirate systems buy technology and weapon crates and go to other pirate systems then open em then go to a tech guy and sell all for nanites gan get 50k an hour
I just started the game, and Holy shit I'm so far behind, haha. lol great tips for sure.
Thanks, I am a beginner and found it pretty useful. Please consider speaking a bit slower for non Eng native speakers 😀
Noted! :)
I just got into this game. Ps5 had it in sale for $23. It absolutely amazing, but most of the time,idk what the hell im supposed to be doing. I get sidetracked, when im sidetracked, just to get sidetracked again
I just started playing, and some random player at the anomaly gave me a bunch of stuff worth like 600 million units… I sold it at the trade terminal but I sort of feel bad because it feels a bit like cheating
My first freighter rescue was an S class. Lol
Thank you so much ! I’m playing this on switch ahah
Amazing video.
Thanks!
I have played about 70 hours and i started quite recently. Thats not alot of hours for this game I know. When I first started it felt so open I do love this game. But I feel like I can see the scope of the game now after my 70 hours and it could do with openeing up abit more.
I find the questing a little to slow. Atlas path takes a while for what's happening. Galatic cores pretty long winded. And I feel like there's not enough objectives being giving to me random ones. I know it's hard to set proper quests in a certain location due to game mechanics. But I do need something that's not goner take ages to initiate that can pull me away from building and upgrading my tools and ship. And something which offers progress in some form with that.
I feel I have tried most of the features in this game. I wont specify though as I don't want to spoil anything for a new player
Does anyone else just collect 3 or 4 crashed ships, fix them up & dump rarely used resources and components into each & summon them as necessary when updgrades are needed? This is before i made any home base & now I'm wondering if i will bother.
NMS is so subtly complex that some of the shit people come up with honestly baffles me. My creativity could never…
This might be a dumb question as I'm very new but what's the point of building a base on a planet when you can just build stuff on your freighter and you can call the freighter to whatever system you are in?
Köszönjük!
Thank you so much! I hope you found the video helpful :)

Actually you can build about 10 basic refineries and after you build the first one input whqat ever you want more of an then just keep building new refineries on top of the first one and I mean right on top of them and then reclaim them and it will almost double what you put into it. Works with everything!
7:22 You can repair them???
I thought they just give you slime and stuff.
17,6 hours in, btw.
Came here after giving up on the loading screen- fast travel sim
Also if you set the multi tool to flatten, you can excavate bigger and more even holes rather than blasting circles into everything. Makes it alot easier to make caves in the middle of storms
Thx!
How did you get your graphics so crisp? On my PC they're always kind of blurry and out of focus, even with every setting maxed out.
All this gameplay is from PS5 which could be why. They've spent a lot of time working on optimisation for consoles...maybe more work is needed on PC
FYI hydrogen glitch has been patched :)
bro im crying i was on a deliver and warp and a battle started he offer me the frieter but i didnt know what that means then i landed on it tryed buying it but them i seen s class
How do you change the size of the mining beam on PC?
Isbit better to play this 1st person mode or 3rd person mode?
I prefer 3rd person, especially when on the ground! 1st person can be good fun when flying around though - some of the screens inside the cockpit of your ship are actually showing 'live' info which is cool to look at.
