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 10 major updates since launch: Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises, NEXT, The Abyss, Visions, the 2.0 BEYOND update, Synthesis, Living Ship and Exo Mech.
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 in No Man's Sky 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...

Did you know you can choose the vertical location of the hotspot? The highest concentration point appears wherever your retilcle is when you finish the final scanning for the hotspot, if you want it to be below ground to hide your mining equipment, just dig a hole when you're withing 6 meters (before it starts scanning) then when you scan make sure you're in the bottom of your hole when you finish the scan. The dot will appear wherever your reticle is when you complete the scan, so you can Have everything buried if you want or everything way up in the sky.

You can extent this out 50u at a go by building walls or metal archs as pylons up to 800u from base computer. You can reload and put wire in at a later date but Supply pipe needs to be installed all in one go if bring pipe from main Depot to supply tank near base.

Great video, Jason! This is how I made it to the end stages of the game. I love my activated indium farm even though I don't really need it anymore. Something I like to do is stack the extractors directly on top of each other, either in a few big towers or in stacks of three in pretty lines. The reason is that you aren't moving too far away from the 100% (mine is also S class). I also stack the EMGs, and one of my projects today is going to be putting some strobe lights on the towers. With my current set-up, I just make stasis devices because I like to control my resources that way, but for the beginning, mining was the best thing I could have done. Again, great video! If any of you viewers see TallChewy in the Anomaly, lmk and I'll send you a stasis device if you want one.

[@SephFour]

Also a sclass mineral deposit is the most common hotspot out of the three s class hotspots, and gas being the rarest. IIRC s class mineral is a 8% chance, and it could a stellar metal (indium, emeril, cadmium, and copper), plantery element (phosphorous, pyrite, dioxde, etc.) or magnetized ferrite and cobalt. TL;DR, aa sclass mineral deposit is the most common, and s class gas deposit is rarest. and the mineral deposit have a 1/3 chance of being an activated idium hotspot.

[@flash1259]

I've found S class hotspots before but, it was never something I wanted. I did find an A class mineral hotspot approx 300 u from an S class electrical hotspot. I finally decided to look for an oxygen hotspot and it turns out there was a C class in the same area.

Great help on this also you can stack the energy and gas extractors like a tower if you thinking of making a sky high base as well as needing about maybe 200 data if you haven’t unlocked the industrial stuff I still haven’t made one but I will soon

[@jcdragneel]

Not sure if people know or im late but both the EM generators AND the extractor can be placed above ground as in on top of level floors in the area of the material and still extract. So if your ground is shitty and not flat you can make buildings and place the extractors and generator on wood floors upon floors and still yield the items.

[@jayworkman5792]

I always make a building for the storage containers to go inside for a cleaner look. Also a power switch for the mineral extractors is nice. That way you can stop the ground from shaking if you ever want to add or change things later, I’m also pretty anal about making sure the supply pipes are all underground and out of site.

[@ClockworkWyrm]

Personally I build platforms for the storage (either out of floors or foundations) but not whole enclosures. I kind of like the way a bunch of storage silos look next to my base.

[@toddmiller5322]

I found my first Activated Iridium S class deposit the other day. It was on the side of this mountain so steep the only way to go up was using the jetpack, and the planet is just jam packed with what are basically Mount Everest sized mountains over and over. So as some of you reading this know, activated metals are always on stormy planets. So here I am fighting this torrential downpour as I'm constructing a mining tower, just minding my own business, and the words "Wind event" flashes across my screen. I thought...ok...so? Fair warning. If you see those words get inside something immediately. A building, inside your ship, dig a deep hole and jump into it if you have to. Basically a tornado snatches me off the ground, then proceeds to spin me in circles, while beating my ass against the ground over and over again until I was dead.

You can also plant a base computer down at each of the locations and for some reason it will let you build all the way between then, however, you can only connect the power to things at the same "base".

Torgo63 did you build inside an existing cave or make it through terrain manipulation? I saw a video (not sure how old) where removing terrain is only temporary, eventually it’ll fill back in. Don’t know if that was patch fixed though...

[@Torgo63]

I drilled straight down to bedrock, and searched for the resources once down there. I built a room with a teleporter, terminal, etc to get materials. Once done, I built a surface building with an elevated landing pad, and connected the base teleport there. Yes, there is the fill in problem, but so far it hasn't ever filled in the subterranean room. So, I can just excavate to my supply tanks when needed. It's no big deal to excavate to the supply tanks, at least not enough to motivate me to connect the supply to surface tanks.

@@JasonPlaysNMS haha I was on exact same looking planet mate and had to leave as every few steps I took they just appeared attacking....one question for you as I only just came back to the game is when predators attacked you and you killed them the sentinels never attacked but now they do, why was that changed?..and the new pilots with crashed ships is driving me insane lol...good vids s usual mate.

I used to always keep a few missions from the space station for killing the animals. Times like this came in handy.

@@IvanoForgione I have found the joys of building up on those planets. Just put walls around the extractors to block being distracted

[@misteryman526]

You can get this going even early game if you do enough of the Nexus missions at the Anomaly. Because the Anomaly automatically warps your ship to the target system, you will eventually find yourself in Red star systems even without an upgraded hyperdrive. When you arrive in a system, just scan all the planets for activated indium. As long as you build a base in the system, or at least go to the Starbase and activate the warp gate before you complete the mission, you can come back at your convenience to set up your mining base.

Sell to pilots, build trade terminals in your bases, have several bases you can teleport between. Plenty of ways around crashing a system's economy.

[@aduhmg3715]

do the markets reset for you? or do you travel from system to system?

[@donzid9180]

Cobalt stacks take up a lot of room and even with a 47/21 fighter and full cargo suit slots, I always need MORE storage. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve gotten over 1b units to date on cobalt, but looking to start an AI mine. Appears a lot faster and easier once it’s setup. Plus I love building mining farms! Have copper, which is great, and silver, which is unnecessary, but it was there. I suppose I could refine Nanites.

[@cneofficial3958]

They patched this

[@jdude9922]

Want to say thanks. There’s a lot that this game doesn’t explain and it’s a lot for a new player like me. I build a copper mine so I could build a sale mine. Making about 15mil and hour now! Good start if I do say so myself

[@raeza_4117]

I have a basic indium farm but it produces 35k ish indium so hopefully this helps

[@SephFour]

Normal indiu sells at half of the price of activated indium, so it's less efficient but easier to build, because it does not need to be located on an extreme planet.

[@JasonPlaysNMS]

Yep yep, definitely easier to build. I might do an oxygen farm as well because oxygen is sooo valuable for refining.

[@flash1259]

@@JasonPlaysNMS I wasn't going to start an oxygen farm because I kept enough buying it at space stations. It turned out I had a C class Oxygen hotspot at another mine I had started. It's not high output but, it keeps me enough for my uses.

[@zackaryganey3311]

@@JasonPlaysNMS Uh my activated indium farm maybe glitching or maybe not but It seems like no matter how many stacks of 2500 I take out of my silo I still have more. I've taken out 1Billion units worth of Indium out of this one in the past hour and it's still full. Is it a glitch?

[@electricheartpony]

Create a small farm for any material you use a lot. 10k per hour is small and all you need.

[@TayNez63]

I made a rusted metal farm for all the ferrite dust I need making these farms

[@JasonPlaysNMS]

Very true, but if you have a money farm then you can buy the materials needed from stations and trade platforms.

[@TayNez63]

@@JasonPlaysNMS I used to buy ferrite dust at every opportunity but it was never enough. Some stations would have 4k, some would have less than 500 dust

[@jamieturner6835]

@@TayNez63 best off buying metal plating not dust since this is the most common use for ferrite, say a T3 station has 4.5k ferrite that's 90 plating, and a lot of crafting, but buying plating directly may give you up to 150 from one station. It uses lots of storage but with a half decent freighter or starship this isn't too much of a problem

[@electricheartpony]

@@jamieturner6835 I mean personally, I will buy both metal plating and ferrite dust. A stack of ferrite dust in normal saves produces 199 (pretty much 200) metal plates. So if you're looking for the bang for your inventory slot, ferrite dust is way better. But that's pretty much only for normal saves.

[@rewelec6680]

Although Hello Games nerfed this farming method i can still recommend it, im at around 70 hours of playing nms and decided to make this farm yesterday, after just a few hours of searching and building i have 2800 activated indium per hour (which is around 60mln units per day if you have enough storage) with just 12 extractors at B level deposit and a couple of generators. For me this is more than enough money to enjoy the game without constantly grinding for it. So, yeah.. Those numbers are not even close to this farm from more than a year ago, but is still very efficient for newer players, I also heard that you can bypass the nerf by bulding small farms and not connecting them to each other, but with my current setup i can't say if that's true or not.
