Dude I love the honest guides, I hate playing games and doing duplications or cheesy stuff like that I think it takes away from the experience. I don’t always want to do things the absolute fastest way possible I just want to do the fun stuff even if it’s a tiny bit of a grind. I subbed great job.

[@Beeblebum]

Hey! Cool! Welcome!

[@spythere]

Yeah, I mean... What's the fun in game if you get everything on demand so quickly and easly? I call it waste of the money I spent on the game which is ALL about progress.

[@deadspline3252]

@@spythere dude, I couldn’t agree more I have a friend who I had to stop playing games with because he would buy a game and just want to do the cheesiest stuff to get all the end game content as fast as possible. For me usually the beginning of games is the most fun because if you mess up it’s actually meaningful.

[@mrJMD]

One tip for ship scrapping: it's better to do this in Vykeen systems as you'll get more fighters and fighters have the best odds of giving storage augmentations.

[@chriswilliams1096]

Good tip. Also, keep a note of the names of the ships you scrap - if you find that a particular named ship drops SAs then others of the same name, regardless of class, will also drop SAs. In a busy space station you can just wait for the known SA droppers to drop in and ignore the rest.

[@mrJMD]

@@chriswilliams1096 - I'm a little OCD, so I keep track of each ship, what it dropped for SA's and upgrades. Always nice when you find c classes that drop SA's. Saves a lot of units.

[@cameronjameson2878]

Are you sure? I've found haulers tend to drop more storage augmentations

[@mrJMD]

@@cameronjameson2878 - I could have sworn I read on a wiki somewhere that it was fighters, but I could be mistaken about that. I never buy/scrap haulers because they are way too expensive, but maybe because they have so many more slots they would have more augmentations. I found a system on my current game with fighters that give augmentations at C class and spawn really frequently, it's hard to beat 500,000 for an augmentation. 🙂

[@cameronjameson2878]

@@mrJMD I just got a c class solar (didn't want to wait to roll better, took for6 just for the c class one I wanted lol) and I'm about to hunt down a low grade hauler as well (probably, with my luck) so I'm in the market to get storage augmentations, I'll test out fighters vs haulers cuz from you it sounds like the fighters are dropping more, which would save me a ton of time!

[@dammonbutler6951]

It's actually kinda cool that ship scrapping is still the most efficient way to get nanites. It's actually a really chill activity to do every so often hehehe

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, I agree.. And a great way to spend some money. :D

[@maxXxbecks]

it's a great way to waste your youth:D nanite grinding is such a bad grind-loop. Just let me explore the universe..

[@FerrariTeddy]

@@maxXxbecks I’ve been exploring the universe a TON for a few years without gaining many nanites. You mainly need resources and enough units to buy ships and freighters. I didn’t actually get nanites for real until they added the criminal star systems, and now I can basically exchange units for nanites and I’m a billionaire in units (activated indium mines)

[@wildbear4689]

The best with ship scrapping is you also avoid all sorts of refiner glitches that ruin your efforts... 😅

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah true, haha... I have did not get any issues with that, at least if you stick around. :)

I couldn't get the refiner dupe glitch to work

[@wildbear4689]

@@killwalker I was referring to the many glitches we've had last year that would just make disappear everything you put in a refiner (or the refiner itself).

[@fredhurst2528]

I personally prefer to scan. I use all the other faster methods in addition, but only sparingly. I get my principle large scale nanites from scanning if I am RP'ing an honest game. My secret is patience, as to get the big nanites, you must scan all the animals on a planet that has 6 or more species. You combine that with uploading and turning discoveries in to your science guy or Helios, and the nanites climb just fine while you explore and discover. (ps. with scanner upgrades, it earns good units as well, at the same time)

[@caro.k2958]

This is exactly what I do as I enjoy exploration so it basically builds massive nanite accumulation by osmosis

[@mergos7879]

Probably the best way I have been acquiring nanites too. Damn those underground critters though. I find theres always one thats difficult to find so some planets I leave without finding them all .

[@caro.k2958]

@@mergos7879 yeah those damned cave critters get you every time!!!

[@fredhurst2528]

@@mergos7879 One thing that helps a lot is any recipe for a jet pack boost. I use salty juice because the ingredients are easy to acquire. You need fire berries from scorched worlds, get a whole bunch while you are on one. Run the through the nutrient processor for fire water. Then run the fire water with cactus flesh and salt for salty juice. Travel across planets surfaces becomes much easier and faster.

[@gogzy606]

That's a good method too, you can double it up buy searching for salvaged data while scanning.

[@theow4241]

This is insanely well put together. I'm really glad I found this, thank you! Egg farming is my go to now with a cloaking device it's a cake walk.

[@AmeriChrisTheMage]

8:00 If you're fast enough you can grab the egg you trigger the hoard with just before they agrro onto you. P.S. No man's sky definitly needs some balancing so that the more interesting methods are the most rewarding for nanites and units. The trading and refining mechanics are almost entirely useless compared to the more lucrative methods of obtaining profit.

[@blazerorb]

Yeah. One cool way might be an investment mechanic for missions. Early game, when you’re poor and don’t have ways of getting things fast, missions have low rewards. Once you have more stuff, and better ways of getting more, then you pay to increase the rewards from missions. I’m not actually sure what would be the best currency cost. Originally I thought nanites themselves. But maybe units scale nicer with your save’s “progression”. And the best answer is probably requiring different gathered materials, crafted materials, boss kills, and generally just anything, tuned to how difficult that thing is to do.

[@pwnomega4562]

you also turn that living fluid/slime you find on direlect freighters into runaway mold which then turns into nanites, so the freighters give you more than one source of nanites

[@magisterrleth3129]

The biggest problem with that is the refining time. You could do it, but it's only viable if you have a portable refiner and let it run while you continue to do other things. And the amount of Nanites you get is pitiful, you're better off hunting Sentinels or cataloging ecosystems.

[@Whistler-007]

Since Outlaw update, farming Sentinel Drones for glass is also a great way to farm nanites by selling Sentinel upgrades you can get from glass. Trigger Sentinels, don't kill the respawning bot or repair bots, just kill off the drones that are respawned in pairs for their glass until your inventory is full.

[@Svoorhout85]

Tip: build a small structure to shoot from that cant be destroyed and you can gather the drops by mining them with your laser so you dont have to move much.

[@Whistler-007]

@@Svoorhout85 agreed. Slanted roofs all the way to the ground avoid them which can delay the respawning

[@randelclawson7695]

It's also the best way to get nanites early game before you have enough unit built up to start ship scrapping.

[@spythere]

@@Svoorhout85 Also for June 2022 sentinels can't attack you inside e.g. production facilities. I don't know if it's a bug but they just fly inside and instantly lose me. I just need to get outside every half a minute to reset the counter.

[@AurioDK]

@@spythere I think it´s on purpose to avoid glitches which do happen when sentinels can target you inside buildings. This is probably due to collision detection and the problems which exist when a player is underground, ever been munched on by creatures you can´t see? You would hate sentinels who can target you through the dirt. So, they chose the simple way out, if anything is considered to be inside ... it cant be targeted. Only sentinels are affected.

[@HawkGTboy]

I never have any trouble with the Horrors. Just ignore them and keep moving, running circles around the building. If you zig zag erratically they’ll miss most of the times that they lunge at you. Just grab one Larval Core from each egg cluster and move on to the next one, keep going in circles until they’re all gone.

[@MasterboxProduction]

And take your AI Minotaure with you now, it will kill them for you.

This was an awesome guide, I'll now be using these methods! Really helped me out with the larval cores one too. Saves me a hassle!

[@Beeblebum]

There used to be tricks to get the larval cores to re spawn (just like with the Curious deposits), but they took it out. Glad I could share new info with you anyway. Another great way to get Nanites is the Sentinels now.. I did make a video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZebfGdor814fKM No need to build a farm like I did, it was just a fun little project. 😊

[@mergos7879]

Wow fence building technique is going to be a huge help. I always had issues digging below. This definitely is a first ive seen anyone do this method. Thank you for that.

[@Beeblebum]

Thanks, I have been using this for quite some time now, I saw someone doing it with the terrain Manipulator, but the Horrors still climb over those.. The walls are definitely better.

[@imushavem7504]

Yes. I build fence around each nest and collect all the eggs and don;t waste the 2 eggs in his method. I just fly to the top of the building and drop into the next box of eggs.

[@AlexAnder-dh8qz]

About larval cores: you can do it just by using barelly modded first gun, just destroy 2 eggs, get them quickly and jetpack-jump to another nest, do same and so on. Just have to kill few monsters trying to flank you time after time.

[@cameronjameson2878]

Yes, it's exactly what I do. Setting up walls etc. just takes too long when I can just run around and pick up the cores. Dodging the baddies is easy and even if they do hit you it's not bad, if you have shield augs neways lol

[@lampshady5790]

Really useful video, I played this game about a year ago and back then, the best way to make nanites was to make meals and sell them on the space anomaly. It was painfully slow, this however is much faster. Just a little suggestion aswell, if you’re not to bothered about the unit costs for the ships, just keep the storage augmentations for ships you actually wanna increase the storage for, then you’ve got yourself a storage augmentation/ Nanite farm.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, it is a good overall activity, even for finding S-Classes and Exotics.

[@Westsailor]

Ship scrapping is a lifesaver. I'd been buying/grinding/refining Pugneam and feeling good when I'd reach 1000 nanites in the bank. I just ran a quick test of ship scrapping and made 5000 nanites in less than 5 minutes. THANK YOU!

[@EricStrebel]

Wow, most informative. Definitely a clever way to gain some nanites and scrap ships, totally different than finding them on planets and underwater. Well done and thanks!

[@nugsymalone1247]

I was in a red system looking for cadmium and found a runnaway mold spot, so I built a base around it like others do. There also was, within base paramaters, a spot for me to mine cadmium and nitrogen. So I built extractors and storage for them. Now this mold farm yields about 14,000 mold. Between three medium refiners it takes about 10 minutes total to turn them to nanites but every time I get over 3000 nanites. Thats enough for me, cus all you gotta do is just fly to space and come right back and they respawn. Then while they refine, I mess around with the mines I got. Usually I just jump to my other activated indium mines to collect and then come back, do it again. Good to know theres other methods to help out too. :)

[@KENAXION88]

Holy crap. The time and effort you put into this video is sincerely appreciated. I saw the title of your video and skipped all of the others because I’d rather do it legitimately and feel good about it at the same time. I’m about to watch your money farm video, too. So keep up the fantastic work!

[@jonathanbaker4361]

I appreciate the break down in this one. I'm still not a fan of farm grinding, because I like to experience the joys of finding opportunities as the come in. I do confess every time I found an outpost surrounded by swarmer nests, I have dropped a base down and created an egg farm. I have three atm that I visit like once a day. Its 20 mins but it gets me over 2k nanites on the daily that way. I also my backpack refiner constantly processing goo into mold and then into nanites... so Im not sitting on a fortune of nanites but I have already unlocked everything at the anomaly and now I mostly want to keep them on hand for that next upgrade mod I come across. If I stock pile too many, I can alway dump them into upgrading the quality of a ship or multi tool

[@macgyveriii2818]

I have timed myself and posted results in the Jason Plays discord. But in summary, making Delicious Stews is fastest way that doesn't cost you any money (might be 2nd fastest overall). Though, arguably more boring. Ship scrapping, as you showed remains the fastest method that I've seen. For science, I timed Harvesting/Processing/Selling (200 Fungal Mould/50 Veg. Stews) for Nanites. Here are my results: Total Time: 24m 47s - Yielded 4941 Nanites (avg. 3.32 nanites per second) Breakdown as follows: Harvest: 20 seconds End of 1st Processing: 4:28 End of 2nd Processing: 4:13 End of 3rd Processing: 4:20 End of 4th Processing: 4:25 Travel to Anomaly, walking to Chronus (via ship, pulsing out of atmosphere): 1:13 Selling 50 Stews: 4:48 ----- Summary: 16 (4 x 4ish) minutes of doing nothing, waiting for nutrient processing. The remaining time is actively doing something.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, if you could give your food to Kronus in Bulk, then it would be more effiecient... Now it is just a tedious thing to do.

Excellent video, clearly laid out with alternate strategies/opportunities. now that i have my chlorine farm set up ship flipping is going to be a pleasant infrastructure session. you've also saved me from the miserable time sink of slime processing, bless you.

[@csgentile]

Excellent video! Those tables help a lot to take decisions in a game like this. Indeed this is the quickest way ... and pretty fun also! But sometimes you don't want or you don't have time to spend scrapping ships and need instead to be going from here to there collecting materials to improve the base or something like that. Those things tend to take several minutes (hours sometimes) and in the meantime you come and go many times, so runaway mould is interesting there too, because it re-spawns on its own, and you can leave the refiners working while you're building or doing other things. Without realizing it, you'll probably get 10k or more in one long game session. And, as typically you'll be playing again sometime, then the process repeats again. So, that's not quick as scrapping, but it's natural with the flow of the game, so I would recommend to have a base near runaway mould spawn spots and refine those too in between.

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, I do mention the Runaway mould in the guide, but as many deem the forcing of their respawn a Exploit, I kept it out of the list. 😊

[@martakarolinazmyslowska6903]

[@hoyakim4280]

Runaway mould is the fastest. use plasma launcher for farming curious deposit, after collecting all, save and load, the deposit will be respawned. repeat as you want. then put it all into the (multiple) refinery and do the other thing(or, AFK). If two or more deposits are near use pilgrim for fast travel.

That ship method is phenomenal. I had people drop a ton of great stuff in my inventory one time at the anomaly so I was able to finance myself for basically ever at this point. I'm sitting around 1.5 billion. But nanites have been a struggle. I don't want to do it hack way I'd rather do it the legit. I'm definitely using your ship method thanks for showing us

[@IkeFanBoy64]

If you're focusing on Larval/Hadal Cores for nanites, Infested or Dead planets are your best bet (in my opinion) since laval cores are just strung across the place and you can usually grab them and boost away before the Bio Horrors finish burrowing out. Speaking of which, a good planet I found for this has the glyphs "Diplo, Bird, Tent, Eclipse, Sunset, Bird, Sunset, Diplo, Eclipse, Boat, Rocket, Diplo" (names from the NMS wiki). Hop around the bights/plateaus to get larval cores and go underwater to find the hadal cores.

[@psyblade6136]

I farmed freighters to not only max out my s class freighter storages and unlock all tech I also farmed enough of each s class upgrades. I ended up with just under 2 storage units of 9999 tainted metal I still haven't spent all those nanites.lol. loved the video dude

[@HellcatsWraith]

To be honest, I was duping with the refeiner the whole time, didnt know why I didnt enjoy the game anymore. Tanks to you Im playing honest without duping. Thank you.

[@redddirtgaming6955]

I like jumping to outlaw system space stations and buying the suspicious arms and suspicious tech from the black market vendor. You can buy these from the trading outposts in the systems as well. You don't need a whoooooole lot of units to be able to start doing this method, but selling the mysterious x class upgrades pays out real well.

[@macgw86]

this 100%! I stumbled in to my first pirate system within my first hour playing NMS, and I can't see myself earning nanites any other way. Also, suspicious goods package give rare items like larval, and hadal cores to name a few. So, I end up buying the goods to break even on buying arms and tech for modules to sell.

[@HollywoodZach]

I got incredibly lucky with my settlement planet quest and ended up building a base on the same planet because there ended up being 4 massive collections of "Curious Deposits" very close to my base. On a single loop I manage around 9k in runaway mould. Easiest nanite farm I've ever had.

[@TevelDrinkwater]

I got lucky with my starter planet too on my first (and still main) game. Only 3 curious deposits, I didn't even know they were special. Still around 500 minutes every time I popped back to my original base. Another good starting strategy is finding an filesystem and smuggling. Which is ironic, since it's honest, but not honest… You can use teleporters to mitigate the enforcement risk, although if you consider teleporting through some intermediate bases to smuggle cheesy, maybe get a scan deflector (which makes it less start friendly). The Suspicious tech usually sell for around 700 nanites appiece.

[@JamesSmith-cs4nu]

Thank you Beeblebum , I just started playing and doing the grind for units and nanites and I was looking for a way early game to do that without exploits , started as a small time miner , became an explorer now I'm a salvager , awesome vid. liked , so long and thanks for all the fish

[@thefirebirdman8370]

Excellent video. More like this please as I don't care for duping etc... in the game. I almost don't mind the Mould Farms but since you're relying on them to "re-spawn" it seems like a cheat in a way though you could rationalize they planet is just creating new mould over time. Because of that I plan to setup some mould farms in my new playthrough but like you said can take time to find and setup. Learned a lot in this one. Thanks again.

[@hedcase]

Fantastic video. I love the way you farm the lava cores, I'll be following that lol. I bought this game when it first came out, was disappointed and, TBH, never touched it after that. Recently saw a youtube about how much it's improved and now I'm loving it. I'm checking YT for gold like this video, thanks.

[@Beeblebum]

There used to be a time the Larval cores re-spawned.. so you could use the same farm over and over. But it does not take too much work to build a quick BC and some walls. hehe Thanks for the kind words, btw. 😊

[@hedcase]

@@Beeblebum I noticed that occasionally they 'escape' probably down to how I've built the walls. First time it happened it sh*t the life out of me, I wasn't expecting it 😅

[@divshearer]

When hunting larval cores I do something similar. I build individual 1x1 walls around every nest, jet pack up to the top of the wall and mine one of the eggs. Once the horrors have spawned in they glitch through the walls after a second or 2 allowing free collection of the cores. Repeat for every nest. I used to jump in and out of my ship and sometimes they wouldn’t attack you after it. No idea why.

[@Graybeard_]

I tried the base building method, but it just took too long. I start on one side of the outpost and shoot one egg and immediately fly up over and land on the opposite side. Once you get the timing/method down, you can clear almost two nests on the other side only taking a couple of hits from the buggers before flying up to the roof for safety. Then shoot them all with a maxed out scatter blaster, rinse and repeat. I can clear an outpost in 3-4 minutes, but it still doesn't beat a mould farm for steady supply.

[@divshearer]

@@Graybeard_ that works too but once I’ve built it once it’s good to go for as long as I need it (which isn’t often now due to my mould farm). Though when I play NMS I’m never in a rush anyway. Always looking for things to do to keep it interesting.

[@AntonChekhoff]

It is extremely easy to set up a mining farm to earn billions. *Scrapping ships* is way easier than anything else I think. I resumed playing 3 weeks ago by joining the sixth expedition and I already have about 600 million units in addition to an A-class freighter with nearly all the slots. My one S-class Activated Indium farm can generate about 60 million units per day. I can only imagine how much nanites I can get by scrapping ships.

[@The-Singularity-X01]

Regarding larval cores, if you find an abandoned building. Mine one of the Whispering Eggs, then shoot a few paralyzing balls into the group of emerging mobs right as their heads burst out. They'll get trapped in the ground and you can freely collect the rest of the larval cores.

[@KaptainKKD]

From this video, I also learned that you can just scan ships in space stations to learn what class they are. I am in my first month playing and I thought the only way was to keep talking to the pilots to "inspect it" haha

[@bottomtext4343]

Okay that whispering egg fence trick was slick

[@Conta_Minated]

Thnnks for the tips. As a new player, many of the options on the list weren't really that viable for me, so I just massacred a whole bunch of animals, made hundreds of mystery stews and ended up with about 14 000 nanites. At first it was hilarious, to see reindeers, dinosaurs and mysterious abominations burn and ragdoll as I unleash a torrent of plasma fire on them. After a while it started to feel a bit pitiful and sad, but that's the moral price you pay for getting nanites, right. The last part of the process was really boring, but I made it through by watching some YT videos at the same time. Turns out, Only about 8000 nanites was enough to buy all the absolutely necessary basics. I guess now I'll just start hunting for an s-class ship and an s-class assault rifle and then I can spend the remaining nanites on upgrading those.

[@mrmarano]

Wondering if Mr. Beeblebum is an architect or engineer IRL? As something like an Occam's Razor fan, I find simply harvesting the cores while avoiding the horrors a faster solution than setting up base camps and building pens. My specific tactic? First, you'll need strong personal shielding, a jet pack with good tank capacity and decent initial boost figures, and good jumping skills. For a single structure abandoned building start at one corner. When the horrors emerge, leap the building to the far corner. The idea is to avoid where the horrors will target you. Be quick; they show in gradually building numbers but are individually very slow to react. Don't be greedy; hit only one or two eggs at a time. You'll criss-cross the structure until it's done. As soon as you shoot a core, press and hold your collect button even if you don't see the core. Odds are you're harvesting it anyway. Eventually, horrors multiply such they surround the structure. When they overwhelm the site, wait for the spawn to subside by spending time on the roof and practicing your aim picking them off. After Worlds Part 1 Liquidators, they yield rancid flesh, which appears to be quite valuable, and mordite. Repeat until all eggs collected. Use the same method for the larger abandoned buildings, but start in the middle then work to the corners. The roof is the safest place. Both the horrors and their acid projectiles clip, so they can attack you at or below ground level from within and under the building. So stay off the deck and don't tunnel. Horrors will attack line of sight, so if you're on the roof, they array outside to spit up at you. Roofs cover you and grant elevation advantage for your return fire. And you can track your collecting progress from relative safety. Practice makes perfect: Start on normal saves before moving to permadeath attempts. If you're more of a scavenger player than a builder or large scale farmer, this gets you good money and nanites with a little fun action on the side. And if you dig building stuff, run with Beeblebum, who is about the best organized and most polished and informative NMS teacher on KZbin, or just about anywhere.

I find it fun to discover all the fauna on a planet and it can give around 250 nanites per species. I don't waste time on planets where one or more species are rare underground as they usually take too long to find. I can often get over 2000 nanites within 10 minutes on a planet with 8 or more species.

[@RobunagaMN]

I love the detail level you provided here. Thanks for your work!

[@stephielove1987]

Thanks for this I just started playing and I love the honest way makes the game more of a challenge

[@Neville133]

Personally, my new favorite way to gain nanites is farming sentinels. I spent basically a couple hours doing it and got 50k to upgrade my ship in no time.

[@Reikoku.]

thanks for the guide! it gave me good info to consider. I was stacking sentinel killing missions and selling tech from the glass but these method are less combat focus which is nice if you just want to relax.

[@guyladouce1981]

Great videos, I appreciate how you keep it so honest. Keep making these great videos!!

[@daveryan2473]

I stumbled across ship scrapping a week ago and earned enough Nanites to buy everything in the tek tree in about 6-8 hours of gaming whilst i waited for an exotic to turn up. By the time i had the exotic, i already had enough storage mods to fully upgrade the ship along with all the nanites i needed for the tek tree... No brainer farming method, fully kitted out for about £20 million and 6-8 hours

[@Beeblebum]

Ship Scrapping is def a great way for many reasons, it results in a good range of valuables.

[@barriem119]

Yep this is the way. If you're also ship hunting whilst faming nanites it's great. I switch the space station every hour so i can see as many different ships as possible. The storage augs are a real bonus too!

[@caro.k2958]

Thanks Beebs another awesome guide 😎

[@Beeblebum]

My pleasure! 😊

[@blancodiablo8788]

Awesome egg farm method! Never would I have thought to do this. I’ve flat out avoided these, no longer.

[@MuscarV2]

Runaway mould is very easy to get a lot of quickly via curious deposits. You usually get over two full stacks (19,998) per deposit, and they respawn at the same place if you unload the area. The best thing to do is to set up teleporters at several curious deposit sites and just go back and forth via the teleporters. You get 2000 nanites per stack of runaway mould so it can take just a couple of minutes work for 10,000+ nanites once you've set everything up. You can also kill sentinels for salvaged glass to get sentinel upgrade modules, which you can sell for 480 nanites each. What I do is find one or several planets with curious deposits and high sentinel presence, set up teleporters at multiple deposit sites and mix mining those with killing sentinels. IMO the time needed to refine doesn't matter much, refiners are cheap to make so it's easy to split stacks between many that refine at the same time. And it's not like you need to just sit and look at them while they refine.

[@BalgaBear]

absolutely wild, I just played the game and got way more nanites than I needed only about 12 hours into the game lol not even done with the settlement task line yet.

[@katzunkaimoto8889]

With the outlaws update you can buy hadal cores in outlaw stations making getting nanites much easirr

[@torhamx]

Great content! Love the ethical way of making nanites.

[@Benny_B0O0]

Just got back into the game recently and your guides are amazing

[@Silverowl193]

Great guide! Good to have to have an honest way of playing!

[@AntonChekhoff]

Oh my god... I didn't know I could refine so many mats into nanites! I only knew about Runaway Mould. I've vendored so much pugnium, platinum, and hundreds of larval cores.

[@user-ds5jd5zy2d]

Very nice! I found the work around with larval cores hilarious, yet very smart! I think that between the word this vid is about getting larval cores (28 pieces is over 1 billion of units) so you can sell them and buy ships Nice!

[@italianbasegard]

5:48 to be fair, the main problem with refining gold and silver (a setup I’ve hair for like 3 years now) is that you can’t build enough refiners in a single base to simultaneously refine all the gold and silver you acquire!

[@Beeblebum]

Well, you can glitch as many refiners in a base as you want... still, I find it too much hassle anyway and also time consuming, especially compared with the other methods (And the new recent ones).

[@TheHopegiver]

Outstanding guide!! Thank you so much!

[@gogzy606]

Ship scrapping is my goto method. I dismantle all the tech I can from the ships and you never have to buy wiring looms again. I also don't sell the mango gold etc, that gets refined once into precious metal which isbusualky worth about double and only takes a second.

[@neohgundersen4028]

Ship scraping is so Fast! Thanks!!!

[@toddmiller5322]

I can farm nanites off Cronus fast enough to purchase everything in the Anomaly in a couple hours including the time to make the dishes. Set up 4 groups of 4 nutrient processors to turn fungal mould into delicious vegetable stews, the 4 groups will keep you busy enough. 200 fungal mould yields around 4795 Nanites.

[@Beeblebum]

I find Kronus the most annoying character in NMS.. apart from Artemis, they take the lead... 😆

[@toddmiller5322]

@@Beeblebum agreed.

[@Franku_4]

For me it was much more fun to discover species on planets and getting nanites when all found. The point is though, avoid plantes with Rare Underwater and Rare Underground animals. The rest of them are super easy to find.

[@KVAR42]

I agree whole heartedly with DeadSpine (just below). I know the "glitches" are there, but for me, what's the point? It's not fun, the end result feels hollow. Two things I'd change: All items stack to 9999 and more tech slots. Thank you for the great guide! Subbed and following. All the best to you Sir!

[@chriscotgrove9674]

Awesome video! The info is really helpful, thanks a ton!

[@aurenian8247]

With the horrors I just bring a neutron cannon and stun grenades. Cannon a cluster to break them all open at once, stun lock the horrors while you collect. Then just jetpack your way around doing more of the same. Cuts the time down to seconds. For ships you can also just salvage crashed ships if you are starting out and don't have a lot of money. Repair launch thrusters and pulse engines and fly it in like that. All the kinds of slime can refine down into nanites. But only really worth it in the suit refiner so you can do it in the background.

[@nich479]

Hey folks, its a lot easier to just buy the "suspicious technology" modules from outlaw stations and then unpack them, and then sell them to the mod vendor for nanites. Once you get used to it, its pretty easy to hit 10k nanites in an hour or so from hopping to station to station without much real effort.

[@Teardehawkee]

Nicely done!

[@tanbaid7476]

I find that the best way is to farm sentinels. if you get 2 spawner sentinels they will spawn new sentinels at the same rate as you can kill them. as long as you don't kill the spawners it can go forever. you getquite a bit of pugneum but mainly you get salvaged glass which can drop sentinel thechnology. with a fully upgraded weapon it is possible to get around 90.000 Nanites per hour

[@Robert-vk7je]

Tldr: Ship scraping is the conversion of Units into Nanites by clicking through a lot of menus. I like to hunt for crash landed ships, make them flyable and scrap them at a station. It's considerably slower, but I get immersed in the life of a galactic scrap hunter.

[@TheDanishPartyGirl]

Awesome guide!

[@wayneverrett89]

Loved the tip on getting larval cores!!!

[@SpencerIsAFunnyOnion]

Find a cluster of runaway mould. Then search due north or south 1000u or so until you find the next procedurally generated cluster. I found 4 clusters and put a base by each one. It takes about 5 minutes to fly, land, get in minotaur, harvest, back in ship, repeat all 4 clusters. Get 20000 runaway mould legally = 4000 nanites every 5 minutes, I think it's the best way. I found two clusters close and put landing pads facing towards the other. Zoomed between the pair really quickly once you muscle memory the required button pressing lol

[@jackpmeadows]

Thanks for the wonderful, helpful video. I really appreciate the honest method.

[@joeltorres3459]

Earned a subscriber thank you so much man!

[@Beeblebum]

Thank you and Welcome. 😊

[@bigview]

Thx for this compare of Nanit production👍, I'm pretty new to the Game now since I haven't played it on Normal Mode for a pretty long time 😅. That slimy crap that drops of chests can be converted at least into runaway mould, I think this could be a nice earning of Nanits by the Way, just to have some more Nanits in between good enough I guess.

[@system11yt]

Since Outlaws you can buy Hadal Core and Larval Core on the pirate stations, but it's still fastest to just scrap ships. These days since I've done it the hard way long enough, I just ....... 10x refiners with stacks of tainted metal go BRRRRR..

[@therealjayfreshour]

Fantastic video. Well done !!!

[@sequoia1171]

Oh damn that's a really great larval core strategy 👍👍
