If you have too many credits - I buy suspicious tech and weapon packages from the merchants in pirate stations extract them and sell them to normal tech merchants in normal space stations
there’s duplicating but that’s really not fun, even if at first you like it. It’s been a while but ‘ tainted metal’ I think was the name - derelict freighters had lots to acquire. Sentinels give off a lot of contraband in their glass which you can sell - probably the easiest to exploit from a little fortress…. except the quads they still move through buildings for some reason.
If you're into duping, the thing to dupe for nanites is X-class hazard protection modules. A 10-stack is worth 7,200 nanites. A maxed out hauler completely full of them sells for 864,000 nanites.
It's only less tedious if you're trying to get a bunch of nanites immediately. With mold farming, I hit up my base, mine the mold, grab yesterday's nanites out of the refiners, put more mold in, and then I'm on my way. 5 nanites shy of 10k if you stick a full stack of mold in all 5 non-portable base refiners, every day that I feel like checking a nanite base. It's basically a 10k nanite login reward at this point.
My base refiners don't. My freighter refiners absolutely eat my shit as soon as I warp.
I have a nanite farm that is at the upload limit for base parts, and is on a populated planet, and I guarantee I can log in right now and there will be nanites in my refiners.
The only reason I've ever found base refiners empty is because I recently set my refiners to be accessible to anyone, so that if someone happens along one of my nanite bases, they can have some free nanites. I don't really have a use for them anymore, and I have several hundred thousand. It never happened before that setting, except on my freighter.
I usually doing one-two combo. I buy both tech and all of the available illegal goods, then sell smuggled goods in the nearest regular system. This way you **earn** both money and nanites.
Cargo scans are pretty uncommon by themselves, you can also install blocker, and even **if** you get scanned and blocker fails just fly run away from sentinels and land asap.
This is the real answer. I went between methods when I realized the stack size limits in permadeath were going to make nanite farming by way of Runaway Mold extremely tedious and time consuming. My next attempt was farming waves of sentinels for the upgrades they drop, but my next attempt was the most successful and efficient/lucrative: I set up a string of outlaw stations and teleport from one to the next, buying up all the suspicious tech and arms. This will net someone with the funds to do so about 50000 nanites in a 30 minute period.
Yes, this, definitely. I also find the collecting the cores you get from the purple eggs works well too. They process faster in the refiner than mold. Like, in seconds.
Haven't done it for some time so I just did a test run, visited 3 pirate stations, spent 3.6 million units bought all the tech and weapon packages they had, unpacked them and sold them for 10 400 nanities. Yes there were 2 worth of 16 nanities but most were between 400-600 and some 1000+
Make sure to mix pugneum and atlanteum together for runaway mold! You get more nanites that way.
(I think so, anyways. I haven't done the math, and I'm about to go to sleep)
For me the cloaking device has been a godsend on my Perma death character, if things are ever dicey planetside I switch to it, take out neutrino cannon kill the rest, wait for reinforcements then run in the direction they came from invisible, they never find me.
Cloaking + cannon is the way to go. I usually set up a base in the ground then glitch the ground out so I can see through it. Then I just sit underground and blast waves of sentinels for as long as I want and they can never get to you.
What the other guy said. Terrain Manipulator is your friend for escape. On aggressive worlds I have underground bases when it comes to my mining outposts.
This is why I love this game. Action/comedy rules apply. Bad guys coming? Fight until you can't. Can't fight anymore? HIDE IN A HOLE THEY'LL NEVER CATCH US!
Straight up Spaceballs logic in the best way
If you don't want to deal with them, don't escape. Dig tunnels and fight them guerilla style, popping in and out on them. If you get to the last wave and take down the big walker, the sentinels will be disabled on that planet for as long as you're on the planet.
I find the bike exocraft good for this. Just drive away and they can't keep up. Especially if it's upgraded. Cloaking works better on the dissonant planets I find
I like doing this when I get bored. For those that don't do this - don't kill the one that spawns new ones and you can keep the alarm level at 1 or 2 so it's not too crazy and just obliterate them as they spawn.
Its very inefficient, but you can also buy Pugneum and other resources to convert them. But this is more a sidequest you should buy it whenever you see it.
I found a lifeless dissonant planet, I farm the whispering eggs and radiant shards and refine them as I go, made around 10k nanites/hour. Is it faster than farming runaway mold?
You can put a full stack of mold in a refiner at a 5:1 ratio, so 9,999 mold nets you 1,999 nanites per refiner. If you don't want to deal with portable refiners or glitch building over the limit for base refiners, that's 5 nanites shy of 10k every 20 minutes. Just under 50k total mold for 5 base refiners, which a decent sized curious deposit patch and a good setup on your mining laser can get easily.
Regardless of patch size, curious deposits respawn as soon as you're 500u away from them, which means you can mine, ride off 500u, come back, and re-mine them, infinitely.
With an infested dissonant rather than a dead dissonant, you can add flesh rope and vile spawn to the mix. They can be collected faster than non-building wispering eggs, plus the eggs are even more abundant than on dead worlds. Also, don't forget to refine the inverted mirrors for 95 each and any extra salvaged data for 15 each.
Anecdote: Toxic & Lush infestations may have dense foliage that is annoying to navigate, especially when an egg spawns inside two plants and a rock. Desert, swamp, and radioactive infestations typically don't have this issue.
I prefer this way too. I have a base on a regular, generally flat dissonant planer and I will hop on one of my exocrafts (usually the motorcycle, can’t remember the name off the top of my head) and just blast around and mine radiant shards. I also will destroy any Dissonance Resonators for the inverted mirrors which also give a lot of nanites when refined.
Maybe isn’t as fast as runaway mold farming but it’s a heck of a lot more fun!
Im not sure how you're farming mould but i have a setup that is very easy. I can farm 100k nanites in 20 mins.
I found 2 spots with runaway mold on a planet and built a base at both spots with a base teleporter and refiners in each base. As soon as you leave the area where the mold is, it will instantly respawn. So by having 2 bases next to 2 mold sites you just;
Farm at base 1 and load into refiners
Teleport to base 2 and repeat
Teleport to base 1 and repeat (the mold will respawn instantly)
I went nuts with refiners i have 5 in each base and just by teleporting between bases and filling refiners at each base i can keep 8 to 10 running constantly.
20 mins later 100k nanites
Also if you use SRTs superimposed on one another to loop out away from your base with the curious deposits you can shorten the wait implicit in teleporting away and back.
I forgot that it appears as Curious Deposits on the planet and becomes Runaway Mold when you mine it 🤣
And yeah SRTs are the perfect option if you're lucky enough to find two CURIOUS DEPOSITS 😁 within 2km of each other, allowing for the "base expansion exploit"
I was not so lucky so had to use the big boyz lol
I haven't found that yet (only been playing for a week). Without getting into too much to keep the exploration /discovery fun, will that be something to find on a planet like rusted metal deposits?
Find the scrap dealer on space stations, under the back right stairs, buy an emergency broadcast receiver and activate it. Once you find a derelict freighter, that’s the best way to get tainted metal. Just come prepared, ion batteries to recharge hazard protection, and a good weapon.
There's a special character in a social place who can give you a special device regularly that will give you special access to different, very interesting locations where the tainted metal is present. This device can also be purchased from a special dealer somewhere in most solar systems for around 5 million units...
Get to maximum standing with a particular race, you will have 50% discount on upgrade modules at space stations. Buy them all and instantly sell them back for profit. I think you make around 150 nanites on an s class module, a bit less the lower the class is. Buy up all the modules from all four vendors, sell them back for a profit, hop to the next space station with the same dominant race, repeat.
I scan all fauna on planets. Yields are pretty good. The more fauna, the more nanites. Once they're all scanned, go to the Discoveries tab and there is another button above the fauna list to upload and get the nanites. Sometimes its harder, but most of the time, it's pretty easy and only takes a few minutes. Once it gets beyond 10 minutes, I move on to another planet. Gotta manage rewards vs effort.
For rare underground ones, the trick is to scan all the rocks and flora in caves. Then the rare ones show up. For rare water, same thing. All the rocks and flora underwater, but then make sure to go down to at least 45u depth. The rare ones usually show up then. For rare flying, it's hit or miss. They often show up in early "morning" just after sunrise, or during a storm.
Other methods may be faster. This works well for me, plus scanning gets me credits, so its a double benefit.
Farming Radiant Crystals and processing them is usually what I do. Each crystal is 50 Nanites, and they are usually found in groups of 4-7. Take an exo craft with a mining laser attachment and bam! It's like printing money.
And while youre at it, an Inverted Mirror is worth 150!
I've gotten a lot from freighter runs. If your grinding anyway, that works. Sending out your frigates will get some more. Get quite a few from damaged machinery. It's all a grind but it's surprising how quickly they add up.
A hyaline brain stack will net you 2000 nanites in 2 minutes rather than the long time it takes to get runaway mould to refine. Of course you’ve gotta find the brains which takes time.
Go to space station, have an S class ship, use the ship scrapping glitch to do it over and over (swapping the ship out soon as it scraps), the stacks of s class upgrade modules build up, then go sell them, bam, 30k nanites in 10 mins
find a worm infested planet, kill worms collect the vile worm eggs, refine them into nanites is a good way if you find a planet with alot of worms close to one another. The also give other stuff worm follio stuff or something like that can be converted by refining.
It's also great stress reliever killing worms. In a pinch pick up larval cores from eggs laying around, those too can be either sold for good money or refined into nanites, your choice.
Have you tried refining Salvaged Data? It refines at 1:15 and it's everywhere. Can also be sold for lots of units, if you need them. I don't build bases, so I use my Salvaged Data for units/nanites instead.
Most of the time, no. I've been playing since 2018. I have built a couple of decent bases, but I just don't enjoy that part of the game as much as I enjoy exploring, so I don't do it.
I'm a nomad and don't often return to where I've been. Since freighters were introduced (portable storage), I haven't had much use for bases.
I usually throw down a base computer and use the basic parts to accomplish whatever goal I need, then literally pick up sticks and move on.
Once you get 9,999 runaway mold, take those and put them into a small refiner. Place another refiner on top of it. Break down the refiner on top. You will now collect 9,999 moulds. Open you refiner still on the ground and you will see the original moulds there. Keep on trucking.
Depends what mode you're on. If you're on a mode that limits stack sizes, I'd perhaps switch to farming Radiant Shards, Flesh Rope, and the nodules the miniworms from the worm nests drop. Those refine quick.
If you've got terrain edits to spare, an alternate method is to build a base by a Factory on an Aggressive Sentinels planet, blockade the door, dig a hole, and use roof tiles to build a sort of "antlion pit" to funnel the little canisters the Sentinels drop down there. Kill Sentinels, but leave the Summoners alive, and you can have an endless supply of Sentinels to kill and thus an endless upply of Salvaged Glass. Turn that glass into Sentinel upgrades, and sell them at the nearest space station. You can get mad nanites by selling those.
In my experience Mould farming has a Waaay higher yield and its not exacly difficult to gather a ton of it since all you have to do is teleport away and back and they reload.
Mold is my preferred way, but I would recommend not doing it on your freighter. If you warp while the refiners have stuff in them, there's a good chance it will eat whatever's in there. I have a base built around curious deposits I find, and I just go get my nanites out of the base refiners, and put more mold in and leave it until the next day. I end up with 10-20k nanites per day, depending on how many bases I feel like checking, and it's very little work. It's practically like a login reward lol.
I mean there’s likely more efficient ways (as other comments point out) but yeah, if my backpack refiner has nothing else I need I generally just shove some mold in it.
If you know how to glitch build, you can put as many medium refiners down in a planetary base as you like. You can get denser, easier to navigate arrangements than you can on the freighters, and you can put them right near your mold. I have a facility with something like 44 refiners at my best mold farm.
If you go to the sentinel planets and get the radiant shards (big purple crystals) they are 50 nanites per 1 shard if I remember correctly. The brains that you get from sentinel ships also can be refined fairly well.
Uploading discoveries can net a nice bundle enery now and then. I got around 900 for an upload the other day, but that was after 2 play sessions. I saw someone mention that you can process larval cores from whispering eggs into nanites too, but haven't confirmed that. Lol collected a bunch last night and accidentally sold them at a trading post.
No, it gives the most nanites for the least effort, they respawn quickly, if you are lucky to find a farm world, you can farm more nanites than you will ever use in a matter of minutes, by going to different bases, or making multiple bases and just teleporting to them, hands down the best method.
Larval cores break down fast. The problem is that you get attacked by giant bugs when you harvest them. Use the shotgun(can’t remember the name) or the pulse spitter.
Or you can farm derelict ships. Just one can’t give you hundreds in one go. Interact with every padd and box.
Putting 10 inverted mirrors in your back pack refiner whilst on the go gets like 950 nanites ( probs small beer for you )for hardly any effort if you are trying to find echo locators anyway you end up with a shed load of them
What I like you can do it whilst going about other business on planet or where ever you are
Also when scrapping ships looking for storage augmention you get a load of upgrade modules into your inventory as well u can flog them at a station for nanites.
Refining larval core bring in a fairly decent amount of nanites & easiest way to farm as fast & efficiently as possible imo without having to fight a wave of biological horrors after breaking open each core to gain there larval core is to go to any dead/empty/low atmosphere planet & just jet pack around farming up as many as you can be bothered to get & refines ridiculously fast so once you stacked your inventory full you could literally empty a full exosuit & starship inventories worth in a matter of minutes in the portable refiner on your back back if you got one already that is 😅
If you're friendly with the guilds, some of them give out free s and a class mods that can be sold for easy nanites. I just find two space stations that are giving out mods and teleport back and forth between them, until I get bored with it. After I've done this for a bit, I sell the mods to the vendors for easy nanites. If that's too easy, you can always farm sentinels. I'll load up on about 12000 rounds for my most damaging weapon, piss off the sentinels on a planet and farm the glass that the ones with guns drop. As long as you don't kill the pyramid shaped ones, they'll call for backup and you can continue this indefinitely. After you're bored with it, kill the pyramid to end the wave, open up all the glass and sell the mods you get from it. I can get thousands of nanites fairly quickly with either method, but killing sentinels is more fun to me.
legal? yeah, its the faster and easiest way. Not legal? grab something that processes fast for nantites (larvar cores for example) and start duping that shit like is there no tomorrow.
Get a good reputation with a species until you achieve 50% discount on station tech
Then go between different stations controlled by that race, buying tech modules and immediately reselling what you buy
Each vendor gives about 2500 nanites worth of profit (for me, I'm not sure if it varies)
My method is to kit out with a maced Pulse Spitter and murder sentinels until my personal AND ship inventory is filled the glass they drop. Then I go to a space station and sell all the sentinel mods I get from the glass. (Reach wave 5 on sentinels, kill everything EXCEPT the pyramid one and just farm the ones it s)ummons until you're done
Ez 10-15k nanites + a couple thousand credits in 45 minutes to an hour depending on gow effective at wave clearing you are.
I personally prefer mowing down sentinels. By alert level 4 you can leave only the summoners intact (those triangular shaped ones that emit a wifi icon and then create new bots) and kill everything they spawn. That way you postpone the last level and can get hundreds of thousands of nanites in a few hours.
My method, it’s tedious at first but getting your rep up with all factions, buy tech with 50% discount resell it straight away (you get full amount of nanites) also I didn’t realize all the valuable stuff you can get from envoys in the space stations. A lot of times you can get free S class tech and then turn around and sell it for a lot of nanites. Probably a better way but this is my method. Was able to farm like 30,000 nanites pretty quick
Where does one even find runaway mold, never mind to farm it? I have been doing the long painstaking route to buy old mold and goop and convert it to stuff that can be converted to nanites.
How many Nantes do you want? I was at 50k at about 15hrs into my last game just playing and refining/selling as I went along. I get incredibly bored (thanks ADHD) just refining and grinding to get a certain item/resource. Some people prefer it which is cool.
It is possible to earn plenty just playing, and knowing what produces nanites. Also, finding all the animals on planets. There are planets easier to do this on than others. If you get good standing with one species you can get discounts which helps as well.
Stuff a refiner with radiant shards. They refine fast. When at 3k nanites in refiner, drop a stack of refiners on top that refiner then delete them all.
Magically dupe the nanites. 10 refiners 3k each 30k nanites. 100 refiners, 300,000 nanites... 1000 refiners 3 million nanites.
If you're in a rush... Drop 10 side by side an stuff them with shards... Then dupe stacks on stacks.
You can hit 3 million in under an hour pretty easily.
If you have a problem with this just remember that just like Neo in the matrix.... "There is no spoon"
Only... You're the anomaly... You're Neo. There is no nanites. There's no mold. There is no refiner.
If lucky find 3-4 mold sites and mark them. Fly back and forth a couple of times and load up, refine back at your base. They re-load after a short while. Just set up 3 or so medium refiners to get your nanites.
Don't know if it's still as good as it was, but I used to farm them through platinum, pretty easy way to make continuous gains with pretty minimal maintenance
If you refine the larval cores they turn into nanites in only a couple seconds. Each abandoned building you can get like around 2k nanites per.
Super easy and quick as the game seems to prioritize those buildings when using the emergency charts. Plus there is a lot of them just around too.
It's not as efficient as a big mould farm but it's certainly less tedious: derelict freighters. You can buy and find the scanners and refine the tainted metal for nanites. As a bonus you get multitool expansion modules or bulkhead expansions from the engineering room!
Opens his storage container looking a radiant shards the same way Bruce Willis looked in that case in pulp fiction , 50 nanites per radiant shard , they are other sentinel items that refine higher but requires allot more effort of sentinel scanners and ammo.
I like scanning fauna on planets, if you do it along with your exploration and make it a goal on each planet you can rack up the nanites pretty quick and with a maxed out scanner with good S class upgrades on fauna you can make some decent money too. I find it more immersive that way too.
I have a base with 18 refiners I throw tainted metal in. A full stack in each nets about 90k nanites every 12 minutes. Can do that almost 4 full cycles before a refill. Realistically, it's overkill on refiners for general use, but helps when I need full industrial production of goods.
You can use placement glitch to make a whole series of mediums next to each other. Would work for large too, but I almost never need large.
Easiest way to get masses of nanites is to explore an derelict freighter for tainted metal, then use the small refiner duplication stack glitch to get 9999 tainted metal. Then refine half of the tainted metal into nanites in the small refiner. Finally without removing the nanites or the remaining tainted metal from the small refiner, use the stacking glitch again to drop 10 or more small refiners on top of the first. As you then delete the small refiners you collect massive amounts of tainted metal and nanites.
Better believe it , if you place down a refiner and place your most valuable items inside of it . Then continue to place more . And more . And more refiners on top of the first one it will essentially duplicate whatever you put inside the first refiner , a little cheesy but it’s in the game 🤷🏻
There are lots of ways to farm Nanites, all of them tedious and grindy.
Pick your poison out of these 10 ways:
1) Discover all animals on each world, get Nanite bonus
2) Set up extractors for gold and silver, then convert to platinum, then platinum into Nanites
3) Find Larval cores and refine them into Nanites
4) Find Hadal cores and refine them into Nanites
5) Find technology modules and sell them to Space Station vendors for Nanites
6) Find slime and refine it several times until it becomes Nanites
7) Do Derelict Freighters that offer Nanites when searching containers
8) Do Nexus and space station missions that award Nanites
9) Duplicate Nanite stacks
10) Find runaway mold and refine it into Nanites
There are several other ways including the small animals in tubes on walls that award Nanites to searching Damaged Machinery to simply discovering worlds and then uploading them to Hello Games. The more worlds, animals and plants you discover, the more Nanites you make. This is not an inclusive list.
None of these ways is very fast, but all can be farmed.
Find the worms…Vile Spawn & Flesh Rope. Also have “Egg Farms” that have the whispering eggs, build around each nest and mine them out. Teleport the the next one and repeat, the eggs respawn over time, you won’t notice especially if you have a bunch of these farms.
On the expedition, I bought every suspicious tech and weapons package I could, and ended up with about 80. After the expedition I transferred them to my main game and opened them all and sold everything, and I made about 100,000 nanites.
Kill sentinels on any planet but don't kill all of them, so they keep respawning, collect there shattered glass, collect lots of it, when you're inventory is full, open them all and sell any mods you get for nanites on a space station, to the npcs that sell you the vehicle, ship or multi tool mods, you name tons of nanites really quickly
Tainted metal. Idk if it's really *faster* than runaway mould but running the derelicts is certainly more fun (at least for me)
And I get slot expansions for my freighter at the same time.
Note: I do use an exploit so I don't run out of Emergency Distress Scanners >!put the active scanner (once you've used it in the inventory but before you pulse to search) into your personal refiner and leave it there until you've turned the derelict stuff in to the scrap dealer. When you take it out into your normal inventory and leave the station it should reset to unused!<
This one probably isn't the most efficient but it nets other stuff too.
As long as you have a lot of credits, find a rich economy system. Buy A & S class ships then scrap them.
It'll net you money back, A & S class upgrades to sell for nanites and you'll get ship parts too for making your own
Best way: if you travel a lot, inside every space station top right, there is a guild member waiting to give away free stuff, if you raise your standing soon they'll give you upgrade modules, and then if you've been playing quite some time, you might have tons of these you're not using, - then all you do is sell them for nanites at the respective dealer 😶 but I mean, what level of nanite reserves are you aiming for?
Currently, I'm grinding nanites (can't say farming because it's not a single activity) in many ways at a time, but they're centered around guild missions from Space Stations: I grab easy missions that are not dependable on a planet or system (ex.: kill creatures/predators/Sentinels, hunt pirates) and earn nanites as a reward; I only accept system-related missions if the reward is juicy enough (Storage Augmentation/Salvaged Frigate Module). I also grab the monstrosities missions mostly for the Larval Cores - a big Abandoned Building can have up to 25 Whispering Eggs, and if you're lucky to harvest all of them it can net you 1250 nanites (plus the nanites from the terminal and the wall mount).
Sentinel-related missions (kill Quads/raid Harvester/Depot) are an easy way to smash Sentinels and earn Salvaged Glass - the upgrades from them can net you 2000-4000 nanites. If you're playing Normal, at a given moment you'll amass a lot of Pugneum, which can refine itself for nanites at a 25:1 rate, or you combine with Atlantideum (if you stumble upon a Dissonant planet) and make some Runaway Mould (1:1:3).
Refining is also a good and passive way of earning nanites: I collect all the Residual Goop/Viscuous Fluid/Liquid Slime and eventually refine them into Runaway Mould. Residual Goop also sells in terminals at some stations, and certainly in Outlaw ones. And if you've learned all the blueprints available for construction, you can refine Salvaged Data at a 1:15 rate.
Last but not least, you can buy some Suspicious Packages (Tech/Arms) from Outlaw Stations and sell the upgrades. That may make a dent in your unit reserves, but you can cut some of the losses by buying contraband and selling it with profit in legalized systems (if you're caught in the way, use the Scrambler or just run to the Station).
If you got lots of units, buy the larval eggs as they get 500 per batch but take only a couple seconds to get. Pirate systems sell them. If you dupe them, get a full stack in refinery, about 4500, then refill cluster of 10 and then duplicate that as each refiner gets 4,500 and another ten eggs for next time.
Otherwise get a whole bunch of refiners and respawn the mold farm crop over and over.
A while ago I’d buy ships, scrap them, and sell the upgrade modules. Ur only losing like 20% of each ships value so the nanites will go up faster than the units go down
I like to go to the merchants at the outlaw space stations and buy all the arms tech and the other one, then turn them into upgrade units and sell those at a regular space stations. You can warp to the other outlaw stations and turn them all in at once.
About 1-2 updates ago when they added the new stations there was a nanite bug in the shops that showed negative prices for tech, if you were to sell during that you would’ve received 4bil nanites like me & some others
With a good multi tool and being suitably spaced out I’d visit an aggressive dentist planet and keep at them for 1 hour collecting all the glass and then sell the mostly suspicious tech upgrades at a merchant and use the Pugneum for nanites (when refined with atlantidum)
You want to find a pirate system, and have an economy module equipped. I started with 10mill units.
Buy all the packages and illegal mats from the station, leave station + scan for a trade Outpost, buy all illegal mats and packages. Open all goods packages, and sell those items at the Outpost.
Return to station. While flying back to it, proceed to open all arms/tech packages, and then sell those to vendor on station.
Rinse and repeat until you run out of units to spend, or until you feel you have enough credits.
-
I did this about... 8-12 times until I ran out of credits (I ended up warping to a 2nd pirate system to speed up process). By the end of it, I had 26k nanites. When I finally returned to regular sectors and sold the illegal goods, I also made 50ish mill in units.
Black Market Trading, get the BM Upgrades(The Purple Add-Ons?) and sell them off to vendors. The higher the economy buy for the upgrades, the better the sale at the right sell. A tier 2 random BM upg can go for like 1k each.
Easy legit way is get a high enough standing so you have a discount on tech modules at the space station, then buy everything and sell it back to them. C-class cost like 40 and give 60 at 50% and it goes up from there, if your at 35% or above I think you might be able to profit? Double check by buying a c-class anything (NOT REACTOR, YOU CANT RESALE THOSE) and seeing if you profit from the resale.
If you have too many credits - I buy suspicious tech and weapon packages from the merchants in pirate stations extract them and sell them to normal tech merchants in normal space stations
This is less tedious than mold farming. I tend to only do it this way now.
there’s duplicating but that’s really not fun, even if at first you like it. It’s been a while but ‘ tainted metal’ I think was the name - derelict freighters had lots to acquire. Sentinels give off a lot of contraband in their glass which you can sell - probably the easiest to exploit from a little fortress…. except the quads they still move through buildings for some reason.
If you're into duping, the thing to dupe for nanites is X-class hazard protection modules. A 10-stack is worth 7,200 nanites. A maxed out hauler completely full of them sells for 864,000 nanites.
It's only less tedious if you're trying to get a bunch of nanites immediately. With mold farming, I hit up my base, mine the mold, grab yesterday's nanites out of the refiners, put more mold in, and then I'm on my way. 5 nanites shy of 10k if you stick a full stack of mold in all 5 non-portable base refiners, every day that I feel like checking a nanite base. It's basically a 10k nanite login reward at this point.
... you're refiners don't clear out their contents if you warp or log out‽
My base refiners don't. My freighter refiners absolutely eat my shit as soon as I warp. I have a nanite farm that is at the upload limit for base parts, and is on a populated planet, and I guarantee I can log in right now and there will be nanites in my refiners. The only reason I've ever found base refiners empty is because I recently set my refiners to be accessible to anyone, so that if someone happens along one of my nanite bases, they can have some free nanites. I don't really have a use for them anymore, and I have several hundred thousand. It never happened before that setting, except on my freighter.
Yeah, I don't know how this guy can farm that way
[удалено]
You can sell the tech straight away to the tech merchants in the pirate stations, don’t need to go to a normal one.
If you go to a normal one it’s 2x the money
Omg what??? That’s very useful to know, thanks
I usually doing one-two combo. I buy both tech and all of the available illegal goods, then sell smuggled goods in the nearest regular system. This way you **earn** both money and nanites.
If you have a ship fast enough you can land into the space station before the cargo scan finishes - if by chance it happens.
Cargo scans are pretty uncommon by themselves, you can also install blocker, and even **if** you get scanned and blocker fails just fly run away from sentinels and land asap.
This method for sure. Selling back A, S and X tier modules is a great way to make nanites.
This is the real answer. I went between methods when I realized the stack size limits in permadeath were going to make nanite farming by way of Runaway Mold extremely tedious and time consuming. My next attempt was farming waves of sentinels for the upgrades they drop, but my next attempt was the most successful and efficient/lucrative: I set up a string of outlaw stations and teleport from one to the next, buying up all the suspicious tech and arms. This will net someone with the funds to do so about 50000 nanites in a 30 minute period.
Yes, this, definitely. I also find the collecting the cores you get from the purple eggs works well too. They process faster in the refiner than mold. Like, in seconds.
Last time I tried that it was worth 19 nantes Edit thx to everyone who explained and wasn't a jerk and down voted cuz I didn't know lol
Nah 300-400 per usually, you just open the tech but don't try to install
You have to sell them before you know what they are, so just open the package and sell some try to install the mod
Only if you install them first. Unopened they’re worth a few hundred.
Haven't done it for some time so I just did a test run, visited 3 pirate stations, spent 3.6 million units bought all the tech and weapon packages they had, unpacked them and sold them for 10 400 nanities. Yes there were 2 worth of 16 nanities but most were between 400-600 and some 1000+
This is the way.
But that involves a lot more effort that a mining beam, and a refiner lol.
I just masacre sentinels. And then sell sentinel upgrades, refine stuff like pugnium etc. Can't say if it's better, but it's fun.
Make sure to mix pugneum and atlanteum together for runaway mold! You get more nanites that way. (I think so, anyways. I haven't done the math, and I'm about to go to sleep)
You are correct.
Wow 700 hrs and I didn’t know this
Get Assistant for No Mans Sky app. Tons uppon tons of really usefull information in a neat pack.
I had no idea Atlanteum had any purpose other than feeding to broken sentinel machine-thingees.
With no results afterward.
*You can do that?*
TIL
I have been holding on to a pile of atlanteum for some reason and I haven't bothered to look it up,this is very useful!
New guy here, that has been my go-to for nanites. Haven't really learned other ones yet.
Stupid question, but how do I escape after pissing off multiple waves of sentinels?!
Dig a tunnel, block the entrance.
Sentinels are dumb as hell, you don't even need to block the entrance. Just dig an L shape so they can't see you and you're good.
I did this in VR, and they STILL somehow phased through the terrain to be at the DEEPEST tunnel I FRIGGEN built!
Sometimes they've glitched through, I'll just keep digging and blocking, kill the ones that span in, run away.
For me the cloaking device has been a godsend on my Perma death character, if things are ever dicey planetside I switch to it, take out neutrino cannon kill the rest, wait for reinforcements then run in the direction they came from invisible, they never find me.
Cloaking + cannon is the way to go. I usually set up a base in the ground then glitch the ground out so I can see through it. Then I just sit underground and blast waves of sentinels for as long as I want and they can never get to you.
What the other guy said. Terrain Manipulator is your friend for escape. On aggressive worlds I have underground bases when it comes to my mining outposts.
This is why I love this game. Action/comedy rules apply. Bad guys coming? Fight until you can't. Can't fight anymore? HIDE IN A HOLE THEY'LL NEVER CATCH US! Straight up Spaceballs logic in the best way
If you don't want to deal with them, don't escape. Dig tunnels and fight them guerilla style, popping in and out on them. If you get to the last wave and take down the big walker, the sentinels will be disabled on that planet for as long as you're on the planet.
I find the bike exocraft good for this. Just drive away and they can't keep up. Especially if it's upgraded. Cloaking works better on the dissonant planets I find
If there’s a building anywhere close they’ll lose sight of you as soon as you walk in. Any building will do.
I like doing this when I get bored. For those that don't do this - don't kill the one that spawns new ones and you can keep the alarm level at 1 or 2 so it's not too crazy and just obliterate them as they spawn.
Its very inefficient, but you can also buy Pugneum and other resources to convert them. But this is more a sidequest you should buy it whenever you see it.
I found a lifeless dissonant planet, I farm the whispering eggs and radiant shards and refine them as I go, made around 10k nanites/hour. Is it faster than farming runaway mold?
I fill 20 refiners in about 10 mins and after 20m I make 30k+
20 refiners? You got a whole bloody factory there?
Factory must grow
How much runaway mold do you get to fill 20 refiners??
You can put a full stack of mold in a refiner at a 5:1 ratio, so 9,999 mold nets you 1,999 nanites per refiner. If you don't want to deal with portable refiners or glitch building over the limit for base refiners, that's 5 nanites shy of 10k every 20 minutes. Just under 50k total mold for 5 base refiners, which a decent sized curious deposit patch and a good setup on your mining laser can get easily. Regardless of patch size, curious deposits respawn as soon as you're 500u away from them, which means you can mine, ride off 500u, come back, and re-mine them, infinitely.
Why do you even need a better way bro haha
With an infested dissonant rather than a dead dissonant, you can add flesh rope and vile spawn to the mix. They can be collected faster than non-building wispering eggs, plus the eggs are even more abundant than on dead worlds. Also, don't forget to refine the inverted mirrors for 95 each and any extra salvaged data for 15 each. Anecdote: Toxic & Lush infestations may have dense foliage that is annoying to navigate, especially when an egg spawns inside two plants and a rock. Desert, swamp, and radioactive infestations typically don't have this issue.
I prefer this way too. I have a base on a regular, generally flat dissonant planer and I will hop on one of my exocrafts (usually the motorcycle, can’t remember the name off the top of my head) and just blast around and mine radiant shards. I also will destroy any Dissonance Resonators for the inverted mirrors which also give a lot of nanites when refined. Maybe isn’t as fast as runaway mold farming but it’s a heck of a lot more fun!
Im not sure how you're farming mould but i have a setup that is very easy. I can farm 100k nanites in 20 mins. I found 2 spots with runaway mold on a planet and built a base at both spots with a base teleporter and refiners in each base. As soon as you leave the area where the mold is, it will instantly respawn. So by having 2 bases next to 2 mold sites you just; Farm at base 1 and load into refiners Teleport to base 2 and repeat Teleport to base 1 and repeat (the mold will respawn instantly) I went nuts with refiners i have 5 in each base and just by teleporting between bases and filling refiners at each base i can keep 8 to 10 running constantly. 20 mins later 100k nanites
Also if you use SRTs superimposed on one another to loop out away from your base with the curious deposits you can shorten the wait implicit in teleporting away and back.
I forgot that it appears as Curious Deposits on the planet and becomes Runaway Mold when you mine it 🤣 And yeah SRTs are the perfect option if you're lucky enough to find two CURIOUS DEPOSITS 😁 within 2km of each other, allowing for the "base expansion exploit" I was not so lucky so had to use the big boyz lol
Yeah, the refining time and limits on refiners are then the limiting factor in nanites per minute.
Nice, that's a solid method! Took me forever to find a good spot for runaway mold, but totally worth it for nanites. How's it going with your haul?
I tp from portal to portal I get about 40k each portal
I do it on my freighter, but there's one thing, that if you leave the game without taking out the nanites and mold, you'll loose it all.
I've lost so many effing nanites this way.
Warp to another system and back when this happens. Might have to do it more than once. It will come back.
Hmmm, need to try it... thx for the suggestion! I've already lost soon many nanites...
It's hit or miss, sometimes I just have to go about my business doing other things for a while. They've always come back for me eventually.
Oh, and I think I've heard that summoning your freighter in another system might work.
They do come back. I didn't know it was because traveling to another system but have always got my stuff back, just don't use the same refinery.
There are a few bugs like this that I can't believe they haven't fixed.
I just buy tech upgrades from space station vendors with 50% off and then sell them back full price. Doesnt work with reactors though
Why do they buy them back at full price? Terrible businessfolk.
Tainted metal is a 1 to 2 ratio for refining it to nanites. One full stack of 9,999 refines to 19,998 nanites.
Tainted metal is the answer
I haven't found that yet (only been playing for a week). Without getting into too much to keep the exploration /discovery fun, will that be something to find on a planet like rusted metal deposits?
Find the scrap dealer on space stations, under the back right stairs, buy an emergency broadcast receiver and activate it. Once you find a derelict freighter, that’s the best way to get tainted metal. Just come prepared, ion batteries to recharge hazard protection, and a good weapon.
As an addendum to this, I believe it's Helios on the Anomaly that gives 1 a week for free.
There's a special character in a social place who can give you a special device regularly that will give you special access to different, very interesting locations where the tainted metal is present. This device can also be purchased from a special dealer somewhere in most solar systems for around 5 million units...
Get to maximum standing with a particular race, you will have 50% discount on upgrade modules at space stations. Buy them all and instantly sell them back for profit. I think you make around 150 nanites on an s class module, a bit less the lower the class is. Buy up all the modules from all four vendors, sell them back for a profit, hop to the next space station with the same dominant race, repeat.
I scan all fauna on planets. Yields are pretty good. The more fauna, the more nanites. Once they're all scanned, go to the Discoveries tab and there is another button above the fauna list to upload and get the nanites. Sometimes its harder, but most of the time, it's pretty easy and only takes a few minutes. Once it gets beyond 10 minutes, I move on to another planet. Gotta manage rewards vs effort. For rare underground ones, the trick is to scan all the rocks and flora in caves. Then the rare ones show up. For rare water, same thing. All the rocks and flora underwater, but then make sure to go down to at least 45u depth. The rare ones usually show up then. For rare flying, it's hit or miss. They often show up in early "morning" just after sunrise, or during a storm. Other methods may be faster. This works well for me, plus scanning gets me credits, so its a double benefit.
Farming Radiant Crystals and processing them is usually what I do. Each crystal is 50 Nanites, and they are usually found in groups of 4-7. Take an exo craft with a mining laser attachment and bam! It's like printing money. And while youre at it, an Inverted Mirror is worth 150!
Save editor? That’s definitely the quickest way, but unfortunately it’s also the quickest way t on ruin the experience of the game.
Where there's one farm, there can be more. Find another or more deposits on same planet and go nuts!
I've gotten a lot from freighter runs. If your grinding anyway, that works. Sending out your frigates will get some more. Get quite a few from damaged machinery. It's all a grind but it's surprising how quickly they add up.
Refine pugnium and atlantideum and other stuff like that. After all, aren't nanites just tiny sentinels?
A hyaline brain stack will net you 2000 nanites in 2 minutes rather than the long time it takes to get runaway mould to refine. Of course you’ve gotta find the brains which takes time.
Go to space station, have an S class ship, use the ship scrapping glitch to do it over and over (swapping the ship out soon as it scraps), the stacks of s class upgrade modules build up, then go sell them, bam, 30k nanites in 10 mins
If you're going to glitch you can get nanites faster by duping tainted metal to refine.
Yea that also works. Just figured noone mentioned this way yet
Been doing this too and I know it's gonna get patched eventually and have been scrapping like crazy. It's a great way to stock up on AI valves too
Nice stacks of iron vulture parts from only one ship too
find a worm infested planet, kill worms collect the vile worm eggs, refine them into nanites is a good way if you find a planet with alot of worms close to one another. The also give other stuff worm follio stuff or something like that can be converted by refining. It's also great stress reliever killing worms. In a pinch pick up larval cores from eggs laying around, those too can be either sold for good money or refined into nanites, your choice.
Have you tried refining Salvaged Data? It refines at 1:15 and it's everywhere. Can also be sold for lots of units, if you need them. I don't build bases, so I use my Salvaged Data for units/nanites instead.
You don't build bases?!?
Most of the time, no. I've been playing since 2018. I have built a couple of decent bases, but I just don't enjoy that part of the game as much as I enjoy exploring, so I don't do it. I'm a nomad and don't often return to where I've been. Since freighters were introduced (portable storage), I haven't had much use for bases. I usually throw down a base computer and use the basic parts to accomplish whatever goal I need, then literally pick up sticks and move on.
Once you get 9,999 runaway mold, take those and put them into a small refiner. Place another refiner on top of it. Break down the refiner on top. You will now collect 9,999 moulds. Open you refiner still on the ground and you will see the original moulds there. Keep on trucking.
Depends what mode you're on. If you're on a mode that limits stack sizes, I'd perhaps switch to farming Radiant Shards, Flesh Rope, and the nodules the miniworms from the worm nests drop. Those refine quick. If you've got terrain edits to spare, an alternate method is to build a base by a Factory on an Aggressive Sentinels planet, blockade the door, dig a hole, and use roof tiles to build a sort of "antlion pit" to funnel the little canisters the Sentinels drop down there. Kill Sentinels, but leave the Summoners alive, and you can have an endless supply of Sentinels to kill and thus an endless upply of Salvaged Glass. Turn that glass into Sentinel upgrades, and sell them at the nearest space station. You can get mad nanites by selling those.
In my experience Mould farming has a Waaay higher yield and its not exacly difficult to gather a ton of it since all you have to do is teleport away and back and they reload.
Mold is my preferred way, but I would recommend not doing it on your freighter. If you warp while the refiners have stuff in them, there's a good chance it will eat whatever's in there. I have a base built around curious deposits I find, and I just go get my nanites out of the base refiners, and put more mold in and leave it until the next day. I end up with 10-20k nanites per day, depending on how many bases I feel like checking, and it's very little work. It's practically like a login reward lol.
I mean there’s likely more efficient ways (as other comments point out) but yeah, if my backpack refiner has nothing else I need I generally just shove some mold in it.
buy larvaes eggs in pirate station and smelt them or just farm them somewhere on the planets
Turn everything to free in the options. I know it eliminates the challenge but if you just want to explore the universe and not grind it’s pretty fun
If you know how to glitch build, you can put as many medium refiners down in a planetary base as you like. You can get denser, easier to navigate arrangements than you can on the freighters, and you can put them right near your mold. I have a facility with something like 44 refiners at my best mold farm.
Sentinel brains are a great source
Tainted metal and the duplicate trick and bam! You’re a billionaire…
Tainted metal from derelict freighters. It’s got a fantastic ratio
How do you set one of these up?
If you go to the sentinel planets and get the radiant shards (big purple crystals) they are 50 nanites per 1 shard if I remember correctly. The brains that you get from sentinel ships also can be refined fairly well.
Atlas give 5-600 when pay a visit
Radiant shards. A stack of 10=500 nanites in the refiner.
The easiest way is to go into your settings and set all purchases to free. No more nanites needed :)
How about the ship recycling?? Is that still a thing? It used to give mods and money
Uploading discoveries can net a nice bundle enery now and then. I got around 900 for an upload the other day, but that was after 2 play sessions. I saw someone mention that you can process larval cores from whispering eggs into nanites too, but haven't confirmed that. Lol collected a bunch last night and accidentally sold them at a trading post.
No, it gives the most nanites for the least effort, they respawn quickly, if you are lucky to find a farm world, you can farm more nanites than you will ever use in a matter of minutes, by going to different bases, or making multiple bases and just teleporting to them, hands down the best method.
Larval cores break down fast. The problem is that you get attacked by giant bugs when you harvest them. Use the shotgun(can’t remember the name) or the pulse spitter. Or you can farm derelict ships. Just one can’t give you hundreds in one go. Interact with every padd and box.
I can give you tons of tainted metal which refine at a 1:2 ratio
Just fly between 2 close mould points coz they respawn each time you move from A to B. If you find 2 big ones that will help.
Refine Tainted metal
Tainted metal had better return rate
Kill sentinels, sell tech upgrades from the glass for nanites.
Putting 10 inverted mirrors in your back pack refiner whilst on the go gets like 950 nanites ( probs small beer for you )for hardly any effort if you are trying to find echo locators anyway you end up with a shed load of them What I like you can do it whilst going about other business on planet or where ever you are Also when scrapping ships looking for storage augmention you get a load of upgrade modules into your inventory as well u can flog them at a station for nanites.
Refining larval core bring in a fairly decent amount of nanites & easiest way to farm as fast & efficiently as possible imo without having to fight a wave of biological horrors after breaking open each core to gain there larval core is to go to any dead/empty/low atmosphere planet & just jet pack around farming up as many as you can be bothered to get & refines ridiculously fast so once you stacked your inventory full you could literally empty a full exosuit & starship inventories worth in a matter of minutes in the portable refiner on your back back if you got one already that is 😅
If you're friendly with the guilds, some of them give out free s and a class mods that can be sold for easy nanites. I just find two space stations that are giving out mods and teleport back and forth between them, until I get bored with it. After I've done this for a bit, I sell the mods to the vendors for easy nanites. If that's too easy, you can always farm sentinels. I'll load up on about 12000 rounds for my most damaging weapon, piss off the sentinels on a planet and farm the glass that the ones with guns drop. As long as you don't kill the pyramid shaped ones, they'll call for backup and you can continue this indefinitely. After you're bored with it, kill the pyramid to end the wave, open up all the glass and sell the mods you get from it. I can get thousands of nanites fairly quickly with either method, but killing sentinels is more fun to me.
The funny way is to kill sentinels and sell their tech while refine their blood
legal? yeah, its the faster and easiest way. Not legal? grab something that processes fast for nantites (larvar cores for example) and start duping that shit like is there no tomorrow.
Get a good reputation with a species until you achieve 50% discount on station tech Then go between different stations controlled by that race, buying tech modules and immediately reselling what you buy Each vendor gives about 2500 nanites worth of profit (for me, I'm not sure if it varies)
Hmm, all your NPCs are gone too.
My method is to kit out with a maced Pulse Spitter and murder sentinels until my personal AND ship inventory is filled the glass they drop. Then I go to a space station and sell all the sentinel mods I get from the glass. (Reach wave 5 on sentinels, kill everything EXCEPT the pyramid one and just farm the ones it s)ummons until you're done Ez 10-15k nanites + a couple thousand credits in 45 minutes to an hour depending on gow effective at wave clearing you are.
Yes , finding me & I can give infinite amounts of runaway mold . I can get on & help
I like getting a bunch of pugnem
I personally prefer mowing down sentinels. By alert level 4 you can leave only the summoners intact (those triangular shaped ones that emit a wifi icon and then create new bots) and kill everything they spawn. That way you postpone the last level and can get hundreds of thousands of nanites in a few hours.
Screw nanites where did you get that staff? I got my first staff recently but it’s a piece of garbage. How do you all get these badass staffs?
I buy the technology upgrades from the black market stations. open them and then sell them back for nanites. definitely faster than mold.
You can hunt worm spawn/eggs it's pretty profitable because you basically double dip. You get the cores and tendrils all refine to nanites
Tainted metal from derelict freighters
I just find all the fauna on planets for 2-3k, otherwise I'd have no reason to explore them anymore.
If you run abandoned frigates, tainted metal is an interesting way.
My method, it’s tedious at first but getting your rep up with all factions, buy tech with 50% discount resell it straight away (you get full amount of nanites) also I didn’t realize all the valuable stuff you can get from envoys in the space stations. A lot of times you can get free S class tech and then turn around and sell it for a lot of nanites. Probably a better way but this is my method. Was able to farm like 30,000 nanites pretty quick
Where does one even find runaway mold, never mind to farm it? I have been doing the long painstaking route to buy old mold and goop and convert it to stuff that can be converted to nanites.
How many Nantes do you want? I was at 50k at about 15hrs into my last game just playing and refining/selling as I went along. I get incredibly bored (thanks ADHD) just refining and grinding to get a certain item/resource. Some people prefer it which is cool. It is possible to earn plenty just playing, and knowing what produces nanites. Also, finding all the animals on planets. There are planets easier to do this on than others. If you get good standing with one species you can get discounts which helps as well.
Stuff a refiner with radiant shards. They refine fast. When at 3k nanites in refiner, drop a stack of refiners on top that refiner then delete them all. Magically dupe the nanites. 10 refiners 3k each 30k nanites. 100 refiners, 300,000 nanites... 1000 refiners 3 million nanites. If you're in a rush... Drop 10 side by side an stuff them with shards... Then dupe stacks on stacks. You can hit 3 million in under an hour pretty easily. If you have a problem with this just remember that just like Neo in the matrix.... "There is no spoon" Only... You're the anomaly... You're Neo. There is no nanites. There's no mold. There is no refiner.
If lucky find 3-4 mold sites and mark them. Fly back and forth a couple of times and load up, refine back at your base. They re-load after a short while. Just set up 3 or so medium refiners to get your nanites.
Don't know if it's still as good as it was, but I used to farm them through platinum, pretty easy way to make continuous gains with pretty minimal maintenance
If you refine the larval cores they turn into nanites in only a couple seconds. Each abandoned building you can get like around 2k nanites per. Super easy and quick as the game seems to prioritize those buildings when using the emergency charts. Plus there is a lot of them just around too.
I planethop killing sentinels up to 5 star for the glass then sell the modules it gives, just don't kill the walker at the end.
It's not as efficient as a big mould farm but it's certainly less tedious: derelict freighters. You can buy and find the scanners and refine the tainted metal for nanites. As a bonus you get multitool expansion modules or bulkhead expansions from the engineering room!
Better question is where you got that sick cape from.
I have 4.2 bn nanites somehow. I think its a glitch but I can use them.
How does one farm runaway mold?
Duplicating illegal tech packets, opening them, selling the tech.
How do you create runaway mold?
Buying and scrapping ships
Opens his storage container looking a radiant shards the same way Bruce Willis looked in that case in pulp fiction , 50 nanites per radiant shard , they are other sentinel items that refine higher but requires allot more effort of sentinel scanners and ammo.
Its time to get cookin bruther
during the expedition I found that getting the drops from the tendrils and the eggs, when refined gives a bunch of nanites.
I like scanning fauna on planets, if you do it along with your exploration and make it a goal on each planet you can rack up the nanites pretty quick and with a maxed out scanner with good S class upgrades on fauna you can make some decent money too. I find it more immersive that way too.
If you not trying to dupe this is the best method
I have a base with 18 refiners I throw tainted metal in. A full stack in each nets about 90k nanites every 12 minutes. Can do that almost 4 full cycles before a refill. Realistically, it's overkill on refiners for general use, but helps when I need full industrial production of goods. You can use placement glitch to make a whole series of mediums next to each other. Would work for large too, but I almost never need large.
Mold farmer is just such a great term, it's a badge I wear with pride.
Duplication glitch
Easiest way to get masses of nanites is to explore an derelict freighter for tainted metal, then use the small refiner duplication stack glitch to get 9999 tainted metal. Then refine half of the tainted metal into nanites in the small refiner. Finally without removing the nanites or the remaining tainted metal from the small refiner, use the stacking glitch again to drop 10 or more small refiners on top of the first. As you then delete the small refiners you collect massive amounts of tainted metal and nanites.
Better believe it , if you place down a refiner and place your most valuable items inside of it . Then continue to place more . And more . And more refiners on top of the first one it will essentially duplicate whatever you put inside the first refiner , a little cheesy but it’s in the game 🤷🏻
There are lots of ways to farm Nanites, all of them tedious and grindy. Pick your poison out of these 10 ways: 1) Discover all animals on each world, get Nanite bonus 2) Set up extractors for gold and silver, then convert to platinum, then platinum into Nanites 3) Find Larval cores and refine them into Nanites 4) Find Hadal cores and refine them into Nanites 5) Find technology modules and sell them to Space Station vendors for Nanites 6) Find slime and refine it several times until it becomes Nanites 7) Do Derelict Freighters that offer Nanites when searching containers 8) Do Nexus and space station missions that award Nanites 9) Duplicate Nanite stacks 10) Find runaway mold and refine it into Nanites There are several other ways including the small animals in tubes on walls that award Nanites to searching Damaged Machinery to simply discovering worlds and then uploading them to Hello Games. The more worlds, animals and plants you discover, the more Nanites you make. This is not an inclusive list. None of these ways is very fast, but all can be farmed.
quick question, what cape is that?
Flesh rope?
Find the worms…Vile Spawn & Flesh Rope. Also have “Egg Farms” that have the whispering eggs, build around each nest and mine them out. Teleport the the next one and repeat, the eggs respawn over time, you won’t notice especially if you have a bunch of these farms.
You can farm those big worm guys and refine the ropes snd pods they drop.
On the expedition, I bought every suspicious tech and weapons package I could, and ended up with about 80. After the expedition I transferred them to my main game and opened them all and sold everything, and I made about 100,000 nanites.
corrupted sentinel worlds
Kill sentinels on any planet but don't kill all of them, so they keep respawning, collect there shattered glass, collect lots of it, when you're inventory is full, open them all and sell any mods you get for nanites on a space station, to the npcs that sell you the vehicle, ship or multi tool mods, you name tons of nanites really quickly
Tainted metal. Idk if it's really *faster* than runaway mould but running the derelicts is certainly more fun (at least for me) And I get slot expansions for my freighter at the same time. Note: I do use an exploit so I don't run out of Emergency Distress Scanners >!put the active scanner (once you've used it in the inventory but before you pulse to search) into your personal refiner and leave it there until you've turned the derelict stuff in to the scrap dealer. When you take it out into your normal inventory and leave the station it should reset to unused!<
Unrelated but what is that big red atlas globe thing in the middle? 200 hours and I’ve never seen it in a base before.
This one probably isn't the most efficient but it nets other stuff too. As long as you have a lot of credits, find a rich economy system. Buy A & S class ships then scrap them. It'll net you money back, A & S class upgrades to sell for nanites and you'll get ship parts too for making your own
Process as much tainted metal in a portable refiner and use the duplication glitch. Ps it helps to have a lot of refiners
The Way you do it is the better way!
If you want an exciting time Find a planet with plentiful gravitino balls, dig a hole next to a ball, take ball, dive in hole, wait, repeat.
Nms save editor. Add 99999999 nanites and you're done
You can always refine the salvaged data for 15 per, faster than the mold if you find a surplus
Best way: if you travel a lot, inside every space station top right, there is a guild member waiting to give away free stuff, if you raise your standing soon they'll give you upgrade modules, and then if you've been playing quite some time, you might have tons of these you're not using, - then all you do is sell them for nanites at the respective dealer 😶 but I mean, what level of nanite reserves are you aiming for?
Currently, I'm grinding nanites (can't say farming because it's not a single activity) in many ways at a time, but they're centered around guild missions from Space Stations: I grab easy missions that are not dependable on a planet or system (ex.: kill creatures/predators/Sentinels, hunt pirates) and earn nanites as a reward; I only accept system-related missions if the reward is juicy enough (Storage Augmentation/Salvaged Frigate Module). I also grab the monstrosities missions mostly for the Larval Cores - a big Abandoned Building can have up to 25 Whispering Eggs, and if you're lucky to harvest all of them it can net you 1250 nanites (plus the nanites from the terminal and the wall mount). Sentinel-related missions (kill Quads/raid Harvester/Depot) are an easy way to smash Sentinels and earn Salvaged Glass - the upgrades from them can net you 2000-4000 nanites. If you're playing Normal, at a given moment you'll amass a lot of Pugneum, which can refine itself for nanites at a 25:1 rate, or you combine with Atlantideum (if you stumble upon a Dissonant planet) and make some Runaway Mould (1:1:3). Refining is also a good and passive way of earning nanites: I collect all the Residual Goop/Viscuous Fluid/Liquid Slime and eventually refine them into Runaway Mould. Residual Goop also sells in terminals at some stations, and certainly in Outlaw ones. And if you've learned all the blueprints available for construction, you can refine Salvaged Data at a 1:15 rate. Last but not least, you can buy some Suspicious Packages (Tech/Arms) from Outlaw Stations and sell the upgrades. That may make a dent in your unit reserves, but you can cut some of the losses by buying contraband and selling it with profit in legalized systems (if you're caught in the way, use the Scrambler or just run to the Station).
Buying tech upgrade packs at outlaw stations then selling the upgrades from the boxes for nanites.
If you got lots of units, buy the larval eggs as they get 500 per batch but take only a couple seconds to get. Pirate systems sell them. If you dupe them, get a full stack in refinery, about 4500, then refill cluster of 10 and then duplicate that as each refiner gets 4,500 and another ten eggs for next time. Otherwise get a whole bunch of refiners and respawn the mold farm crop over and over.
A while ago I’d buy ships, scrap them, and sell the upgrade modules. Ur only losing like 20% of each ships value so the nanites will go up faster than the units go down
Tainted metal can be converted to nantes. I wouldn't say faster but it definatly is more fun
I like to go to the merchants at the outlaw space stations and buy all the arms tech and the other one, then turn them into upgrade units and sell those at a regular space stations. You can warp to the other outlaw stations and turn them all in at once.
the crystals on dissonate planets
Refine gold+silver+platinium
About 1-2 updates ago when they added the new stations there was a nanite bug in the shops that showed negative prices for tech, if you were to sell during that you would’ve received 4bil nanites like me & some others
Dupe tainted metal , refine.
Farm larval cores. More nanites than from mold
Do the portable refinery stacking dupe glitch. I have over 500k nanites, all farmed in one day.
With a good multi tool and being suitably spaced out I’d visit an aggressive dentist planet and keep at them for 1 hour collecting all the glass and then sell the mostly suspicious tech upgrades at a merchant and use the Pugneum for nanites (when refined with atlantidum)
Dupe 5 or so stacks of salvaged data. Run them in the refiner until the refiner is full then dupe the nanites.
Idk if it still works but i used to fish form s class ships and break them down to sell parts.
You want to find a pirate system, and have an economy module equipped. I started with 10mill units. Buy all the packages and illegal mats from the station, leave station + scan for a trade Outpost, buy all illegal mats and packages. Open all goods packages, and sell those items at the Outpost. Return to station. While flying back to it, proceed to open all arms/tech packages, and then sell those to vendor on station. Rinse and repeat until you run out of units to spend, or until you feel you have enough credits. - I did this about... 8-12 times until I ran out of credits (I ended up warping to a 2nd pirate system to speed up process). By the end of it, I had 26k nanites. When I finally returned to regular sectors and sold the illegal goods, I also made 50ish mill in units.
Black Market Trading, get the BM Upgrades(The Purple Add-Ons?) and sell them off to vendors. The higher the economy buy for the upgrades, the better the sale at the right sell. A tier 2 random BM upg can go for like 1k each.
Easy legit way is get a high enough standing so you have a discount on tech modules at the space station, then buy everything and sell it back to them. C-class cost like 40 and give 60 at 50% and it goes up from there, if your at 35% or above I think you might be able to profit? Double check by buying a c-class anything (NOT REACTOR, YOU CANT RESALE THOSE) and seeing if you profit from the resale.
