3 BEST Ways to Make Money in No Man's Sky 

I have a gold and silver farm so I make Platinum to sell. Platinum can also be refined into nanites if i need those instead of money.

New player myself. Ive found trade be worthwhile as well. Made my first millions. You need an economy scanner on your ship and scan for oppurtinities. Fly to a system buy their stock. Fly to the target system where the goods are needed. You can make up millions in profits. Howevwr you need to fly back and forth and find systems where there are plenty of goods. I now need to learn how to reliably setup trade between different systems.

I wish there were more ways to get quicksilver instead of just gatekeeping it behind Nexus missions. I wouldn't mind if it was a bit of a challenge, it would be something to do.

I didn't know about avoiding sentinels in pirate systems! ❤🎉🎉

Since everything was nerfed my activated indium base is only worth around 50m now. but, 50m/day for something that only takes a couple of minutes isn't bad. It takes quite a bit of setup but, stasis devices and fusion ignitors are still worth a lot. You also should have a good oxygen base you can use to expand other resources. Mine has around 85k units of storage. The Interceptor is a really good way. I got over 200m from one location and almost all of the ships was C class. I've been starting a lot of saves lately. I'll play them for a few hours and delete them. My focus is getting the economy scanner at the first crashed ship I find. I also like to scrap at least one crashed ship before I get invited to the space station. I also like to get emeril and if I take the time I'll get indium also. Emeril so when I warp the first time I can install the indium drive. Indium so when I can get the large refiner I can refine all the chromatic metal I need at 30X. I also get buried technology to buy thing s like wiring loom so I can install the advanced mining laser.

Awesome video! I watched your mine video however that was on uranium. How do I find oxygen to set up my mine? Do I just look for an oxygen hotspot and make my mine over that? Thanks

As of yesterday i found my personal favourite method of making money and its suitable for everyone. Crafting Superconductors only needs 4 Gas farms. A Nitrogen, Sulfurine, Radon + Oxygen to stretch condensed carbon. Needed ~5 million units and 2.5h time and now every 10h i get 40-50 Million units doing nothing.

Another viable option of you are online often. Activated Indium Farm. activated indium can be refined into Chromatic Metal at a 1:4. Chromatic Metal is sold default at 88 per unit

For me interceptor is the most fun and less boring.

Air valves seem to be worth alot. Is there a good ship scrapping method?

If you're fine with duplicating items I know a method that will give you billions in a few minutes. This method will duplicate almost anything in the game but these are worth the most. Item: Compressed Indium Scraps (CIS for short) Step 1: Place the CIS in a portable refiner Step 2: Place a second portable refiner where the first one still is and line it up as close as you can Step 3: When you pick up the hoppers, what was in only one is now in all of them. *Repeat as desired* Step 4: Sell the items and remember that the value is about to drop significantly, so you will need to find a new system each time. Do that and you will have unlimited money with minimal effort.

Do cargo runs in a freigher - it can yield several millions per jump if you find generously supplied system and a starving one. Then, from time to time, do a detour to a Disonant system, catch a Pokemo... I mean Sentinel ship, pop it in your freighter and go to the next system. After a while you both make yourself a nice retirement fund (as funny as this sounds, these crappy ships become your twisted equivalent of savings account) and boatload of credits

I like haveing a storm crystal farm lol every storm go out in my romer and grab resorses while im at it hahaha

Thanks for giving me the easy guide to the unit mark in the initiation challenge lol

Ill stick with storm crystal farming, its simple, fast, and fun.

Defeat a pirate ship.. easy 6.7 mil And you can warp in/out of that system and keep doing it.

Best unit generating method in the game, two words, Glitch Duping unless you "want" to work hard for your units.

I went to a dissonance planet. No drills. Don't know why.
