No Man's Sky is an open space adventure where players can fly spaceships, navigate the galaxy, fight pirates, and more. Even if they do this, they have many opportunities to earn money to upgrade their equipment and weapons or to buy resources. There are two currencies in the game: Units and Nanites.
Nanites are the rarer of the two and can be used to purchase special items such as blueprints and upgrade modules for the Exosuit, Exocraft, and Multi-Tool. Collecting Nanites takes a bit of time because players can't get them anywhere, but it's worth it to enjoy the best gear. Here are some some ways players can get Nanites No Man's Sky.
Updated on October 02, 2024, by Gerardo Molina: No Man's Sky is undoubtedly a game that offers a lot of possibilities to the players. It is estimated that the game features an amazing 18 quintillion planets, all procedurally generated, so even if all players work together in a concerted effort to explore them all, they will span thousands of years and no two experiences will be the same. .
Things like money seem trivial when considering the size of the game world, but unfortunately, even in such a vast title, exchange tokens are necessary. While some of the Nanite collection methods described below are a bit complicated, others don't require much effort, allowing players to farm this resource sooner rather than later.
10 Improve the rest of Goop
Goop is Space's gold
In No Man's Sky, Goop leftovers is described as the “smelly, foul-smelling goop that forms in poorly maintained machinery.” And while this may trick players into thinking the substance is worthless, it can be used to obtain Nanites. Now, it looks easier than it actually is, because the leftover Goop has to be processed several times before it can be turned into Nanites.
First, the remaining Goop will be refined into Viscous Liquid, then into Living Smile, then into Runaway Mold, and finally into precious Nanites. Players can expect a Goop-to-Nanite ratio of 5:1. Of course, it's not a fast process, but it's worth it.
9 Find and fill damaged items
It takes a little time, but it's worth it
As mentioned before, space in No Man's Sky is an almost infinite area with millions of possibilities. This means that, while exploring the Cosmos, the player may be caught Damaged carrier more than once.
If the search for an abandoned ship in the middle of space is a cargo transport (in its own right), then it is worth the risk, because the search for the abandoned cargo and its completion (as in discovering what happened to workers) will more often than not produce value. rewards, including all the precious Nanites No Man's Sky players seek and cherish.
8 Refine Larval Cores
Larval Cores refine up to 50 Nanites each
Players will discover unique flora, fauna and more as they explore planets. Sometimes, they encounter rare events and can collect special resources such as Larval Cores. Larval Cores are a powerful interest that drops when players destroy whispering eggs. Whispering Eggs are rare eggs that appear near abandoned buildings or on invested planets. Visor Analysis can be used to monitor them.
Once the player destroys a whispering egg, they can take their Larval Core. Destroying the Egg creates a monstrous biological swarm that will attack on sight. Players can fight them or run away from them until the swarm is gone. Larval Cores can be transformed into Nanites using the Refiner. Collecting them is a lot of work, but a good way to get Nanites if all else fails.
7 Salvage Starships
Starship parts are worth 30 to 1,300 Nanitas
Starships are flying space vehicles and a big part of No Man's Sky. Players start the game with a normal Starship, but they can also collect crashed Starships to repair and replace their own with or remove them and exchange their parts for Nanites. Crashed Starships suddenly appear on planets and can be seen in a few ways. Players can explore the surface of planets using Exocraft or find crashed Starships more directly with Transmission Towers or Planet Maps.
Before players can turn a crashed Starship into scrap, they must repair the damaged parts. Basically, the Launch Thruster and the Pulse Engine are required to get them into the air. Players can fly their customized Starship to a space station and store it at the Starship Outfitting Terminal in exchange for Nanites. High level Starships are worth more Nanites, so players can get a lot of them.
6 Enter all new things
All new items are worth different amounts of Nanite Clusters
The fastest way to get Nanites is to level up all the objects found on the planet. Players can explore plants, minerals and animals as they interact with new planets. Scanning is only a matter of time, but watch out for any hostile animals. The scanner is one of the visor windows, and players can access it easily. Once the topic is researched, it will be saved as research, and the player will receive units depending on how common or rare it is.
If they want Nanites, players can upload them by following the steps below:
- Open the Options menu
- Go to the Discoveries tab
- Find the location of the star system visited
- Select the white arrow at the top of the list and “Add all”
This will place the Nanites; the more new things that can be added, the more Nanites players get.
5 Consider the building
In-building research technology for Nanite Clusters
Nanite Clusters can be found in buildings such as Resource Depots, shacks, and abandoned buildings. They can be found on most planets, but they have better effects when looking at the hospitable ones.
Players can explore interesting locations from the ground or from the sky as they enter the planet's atmosphere. Abandoned locations are the safest to search as Sentinels are rarely seen. However, there are more Nanites inside Depots and Outposts. Players can pick them up by dropping them off the electronic system inside the building.
4 Destroy Sentinels
Sentinels drop Nanites and materials for Nanites
Sentinels are drones that monitor many planets in the game. Planets that have them can be hostile or neutral depending on the galaxy but will attack the player if they are perceived as a threat of any kind. Whenever a Sentinel is removed, there is a chance that the Nanites will be knocked out. They may also drop items like Hyaline Brain, which can be upgraded to 260 Nanites.
Players can attack Sentinels by shooting them with Exocraft or weapons. They are easy to remove, but an attack always requires reinforcement. If the player hides inside the building until the Sentinels are no longer aware of them, they can take them out one by one and take the drops.
3 Mission deception
Nanite rewards vary from mission to mission
Some missions will have Nanites as a reward when completed. Missions can be picked up at any Space Station from the mission manager. The space station is not that big, so finding the booth should be easy. Mission details, including requirements and rewards, are listed.

The higher they are with the alien beings that suggested, the more missions will be possible.

2 Visit Anomaly
NPCs provide players with information about Nanites
Players can also visit the Space Anomaly for Nanites. Space Anomaly is an online space station that can be called from any galaxy while in space. To summon the Anomaly, the player must access the ship menu. This is also where the Autophage Questline leads.
There is a help desk on the lower level with an alien being called Iteration: Helios. Players can talk to him every time they visit and exchange information about data for the Nanites. Data includes new things like minerals, plants, animals, planets and other resources.
Anomaly Space is home to another NPC called Iteration: Cronus. If the players offer him to try his performance, he will give them his opinion about it. These include Impule Beams and Iced Screams. He is often frustrated, but when fed what he wants he will reward the players with Nanites.
Players should stop at the Iteration: Ares help desk on the same floor. Review: Ares is a traveler and NPC collector. Players can purchase upgrades from him or share their data and achievements with Nanites. While in Anomaly, players can purchase upgrade plans and other special items.
1 Refine Runaway Mold
5x Runaway Mold Refines to 1 Nanite
Players can refine Runaway Mold into Nanites using the Refiner. There are four types of cleaners No Man's Skyincluding portable, small, medium and larger models. Players can load fuel and materials into them to collect and recycle them into more valuable materials. Runaway Mold is found in Curious Deposits found on the planet.
Players can view Curious stock using the Analysis Visor. When he finds it, he can see it on the surface of the planet and can harvest it with his Mining Laser. When they have a lot of Runaway Mold, they can put it in a Refiner to turn it into Nanites.
