How to Start a Mineral Extractor Farm | No Man's Sky Beyond Update 2020

This is how to start a mineral extractor farm in No Man's Sky. If you are looking for ways to make a ton of money, or just get a ton of materials then look no further. To start with, you must buy the mineral extractor blueprint from the space anomaly, along with a few others to make the process easier. Then it is time to find a mineral deposit that we can use the extractor on. To me, this has to be one of the best additions in the Beyond update, and it makes No Man's Sky so much more fun to play!

More About No Man's Sky:
Inspired by the adventure and imagination that we love from classic science-fiction, No Man's Sky presents you with a galaxy to explore, filled with unique planets and lifeforms, and constant danger and action.
In No Man's Sky, every star is the light of a distant sun, each orbited by planets filled with life, and you can go to any of them you choose. Fly smoothly from deep space to planetary surfaces, with no loading screens, and no limits. In this infinite procedurally generated universe, you'll discover places and creatures that no other players have seen before - and perhaps never will again.
Play with all 7 major updates since launch: Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises, NEXT, The Abyss, Visions and the 2.0 BEYOND update.
An epic voyage to the center of a shared universe awaits, allowing you to explore, trade, fight and survive alone or with friends.
At the center of the galaxy lies a irresistible pulse which draws you on a journey towards it to learn the true nature of the cosmos. But, facing hostile creatures and fierce pirates, you'll know that death comes at a cost, and survival will be down to the choices you make over how you upgrade your ship, your weapon and suit.
Your voyage through No Man's Sky is up to you. Will you be a fighter, preying on the weak and taking their riches, or taking out pirates for their bounties? Power is yours if you upgrade your ship for speed and weaponry.
Or a trader? Find rich resources on forgotten worlds and exploit them for the highest prices. Invest in more cargo space and you'll reap huge rewards.
Or perhaps an explorer? Go beyond the known frontier and discover places and things that no one has ever seen before. Upgrade your engines to jump ever farther, and strengthen your suit for survival in toxic environments that would kill the unwary.
The galaxy is a living, breathing place. Trade convoys travel between stars, factions vie for territory, pirates hunt the unwary, and the police are ever watching. Every other player lives in the same galaxy, and you can choose to share your discoveries with them on a map that spans known space. Perhaps you will see the results of their actions as well as your own...

I'd share a picture with you of my latest base but I'm not sure how to do that lol. Anyway, thanks again!

[@spry_guy]

I'm new to the game (I started when the Beyond update released). The first blue star I went to I found an Activated Indium planet. The first place I landed I found an Electromagnetic hotspot. I circled around the hotspot and found a S rated Activated Indium hotspot about 400 u away. How lucky am I? Thanks Jason, your videos have helped this noob.

[@Mikx85]

Hey Jason, Tx a lot for the detailed explanation it helps really much, for beginners! You got a new Subscriber! Do you have a Twitch Channel or Livestream?

[@liberteus]

Deposits can be very close to each other. If you spend enough time roaming a planet, you can have your electromagnetic and another one with 400u of each other, and sometimes a third one within 4 or 500u as well. So with a single base at the center you have your power source and you can get two different metals at once. Just build storage and cabling to go to your base and with one teleportation you get both metals at once. So far, built bases for: - activated indium (because fun) - phosphorus - ammonia and oxygen - uranium - dioxide Next will be: - rusted metal - Gold (nanite farming) - Silver (nanite farming) What else would you recommend Jason?

[@JasonPlaysNMS]

Man, you got it covered! I would recommend gold and silver move up on the list, those Nanites will help a ton.

[@francoisdubord4204]

@@JasonPlaysNMS How much nanites a nanite cluster give ?

[@rob679]

@@francoisdubord4204 It's the whole name of the resource - 'nanite clusters'. 1 gold + 1 silver = 1 platinium. 30 or 50 platinium (I dont remember) = 1 nanite cluster. May not look very efficient but remember you get thousands of resources every hour, depending how many extractors you build.

[@blooper_01]

I have an electromagnetic hotspot under 400 next to my Emeril hotspot.

[@titaniumO2]

I never considered a rusted metal for extraction as I generally don't mind mining for ferrite dust. However, each unit of rusted metal refines to 2 units of ferrite dust! Not needing/using oxygen is a great bonus.

[@kirkbupkis]

Farm gold and silver to make plat, combine plat, gold, and silver in a large refiner and you get 400 nanites per 9999 platinum. Maybe not the best way to make nanites but still a decent passive method.

[@nickrd10bk]

I came back to this video after watching it to say; later in the game, if you can get access to indium, farm it instead. It can be made into 2:4 Chromatic metal, and with chromatic metal can make 1:4 of Indium. It's much faster to farm, and Indium, per item, is worth substantially more than cadmium, emeril, and chromatic metal. Basically, I'm saying it's a more efficient process. If you're like me, you'll put your farm on your Frigate, once you get one. Hope this helps somebody.

[@ShinKibagami]

Found a S class Activated Indium today :) I put 6x Extractors on it and it give me 3670/hrs! Seriously those Supply Depot need to give more then 1000 storages, because if I want to log just once a day then I have to make like 80x Supply Depots if I want to maximize my profit! They should at least store 5000 each!

[@Jim68W]

It is definitely worth farming oxygen so that you can make pretty much infinite chlorine. It sells for a lot and only requires a medium refiner to mass produce it. I managed to find a large oxygen field near enough a electromagnetic power area and was able to make more money than I would ever need. Which you can then use to buy whatever other material you might need.

[@andrewhendrix2297]

Very true! I thought I was the only one that seemed to know this because I don't see any KZbinr's talking about it. I don't know how it works in the real world, but the chlorine seems to be on a runaway reaction. With an oxygen hotspot or just buying all the oxygen you can find, I have three medium refineries set up and you just keep adding the chlorine back into the pile when it's done. In less than 10 minutes of just standing there I have about 20 million worth of chlorine to dump into a system. Granted, it's not the most exciting 10 minutes, but I can't see anything making money faster than that, and with very minimal setup.
