Im new player I found a planet with low gravity and full of gravitino balls in my second system, I just go with empty inventory and stack up, every trip I make 13-15M,I made a base too if anyone needs it, there are a lot of sentinels but with low gravity it is easy to run way from them and keep collecting

The "fastest" or more efficient way would be making N games and doing the weekend mission N times. It's "lot of work" when you're new, but can always take a post-expedition game in order to get better starts. Right now i'm doing 4 weekend missions and buying lots of stuff with the Quicksilver. Kinda fine with It.

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.

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.
@DreadCaptainJames4 ай бұрын
I LOVE trade routes. I did a video on it as well, they're actually really fun and an awesome way to travel around and explore. What people do to setup reliable routes that can be reused is drop portals at each trading post you want to use, and then only sell to the pilots so you don't mess up the economy. The terminals refill every two hours or so, so you can make a couple of loops and hit them as you play.

If you are constantly going for the Tier 3 rich systems, i suggest filling a ship with the same components from the same economy type from different systems so you can sell them in one go where they are desirable, making much more units per sell. For example collecting from three manufacturing systems before selling them in high tech, and subsequently doing it as the loop goes. I found way more efficient as i was starting selling for 15~20 Million about 5 stacks of the same item and exploring a lot farther into the galaxy. I did about 90 million tripping about 10 systems, besides it's pretty fun.

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.

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

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.
