The sheer volume of goop that I recall trashing because I didn't know what to do with it is now giving me chest pains.

With the knowledge of how to get nanites from stew, the life expectancy of meaty animals in the cosmos has plummeted.

Found an exceptional planet with huge loads of runaway mould waiting to be mined and respawning every time one leaves the area. 35k nanites/hour easily, no reloading, no bug using. Check the vulcano planet in this system: (face face sunset dragonfly atlas rocket fish eclipse rocket balloon sunset eclipse)

THANK YOU for just getting straight in to it. None of this telling people how your week went or what's up and then dragging it out before getting to the main reason why every one is there. Cheers mate, I'll subscribe to your channel now

"he's gonna sniff ya and he's gonna know you got food on you" that part made me laugh! Awesome vids bro 👌

Edit the Double Exotic spawn location I showed doesn't work after the last update, but scrapping still does.

Another time save while doing this is to turn off the confirmation mode in the options (the press to hold, waiting for circle to fill). Normally I prefer the delay but if you are in the mind-numb mode of clicking to hand in meals....

Just wanna say I recently got back into this game on console and your channel has been very helpful. You don't come across too intense, very laid back and well put together!

Recently started playing this and found it quite overwhelming. Didn't know one could earn nanites from stew, that's way faster than just flying around looking for stuff with nanites in it. Now I have so much nanites I don't know what to do with all of it. Thank you!

Hi Bob I'm going through your videos right now and I found a really nice and easy way of getting through Abominations stuff. Make sure your jetpack is good enough to get to the top. These eggs are found in a circle around the building. Go to one side, knock down 1 egg, grab it, then immediately go up onto the building. Make the creatures follow you. Then turn to the opposite side of the building, jump down, and grab all the eggs except 1. The creatures will be stuck on the other side of the building. They will not go around to get you. After you grab all the eggs on that side wait until the spawn stops. When it stops, grab the egg, and then repeat the process on the other side but grab all the eggs. Easy peasy.

Hands down the best guy doing nms videos, and he doesn’t have a super annoying voice like the other youtubers. Also you can find a minor settlement and buy salvaged data, just throw down a save point in the building and keep reloading your manual save after each time you buy

Recently went back to NMS after 3 years, 2nd system I reached, I landed on a moon following the nada questline, made a base as it was a paradise moon, I managed to build it next to these weird balls that rolled away that respawn every load so I hoarded them for a few days while exploring rest of system. Eventually I randomly put them in the refiner to see what they turned into... let's just say I laughed a bit in a Dr.Evil way and that I've had no nanites issues since🤣 pure flukey luck but I'll take it, it's that kinda randomness that's made this game so good for me trying it again after so long.

Watermelon head boi: he got infinite stomachs and infinite pockets

re: cooking, you can also make fibrous stew from crops (fungal mold, solanium, gamma root), process them into 'better' veggies (non-poisonous mushrooms, solartillo, sievert beans)... process half of that yield again to get steamed vegetables, then combine it with the first-round processed veggies to get fibrous stew... if you combine steamed vegetables with itself, you get flavoursome sauce, which you combine with fibrous stew or mystery meat stew to get delicious vegetable stew or herb-encrusted flesh... these offer the highest yield in nanites when fed to cronus

Putting on a chef's hat was the last thing I thought I would be doing. Yes it looks like watermelon dude need some nourishment. Thanks for the insight and the time you take to research them

So I’m about 10hrs into the game. I thought it was an exploration game but I think its more like a day trading sim with a space exploration side quest. 😅

For me there are two methods that I use the most. 1. Requires the Personal Refiner to be less annoying but is useful for early game. Get personal Refiner from Selene on the Anomaly. Now you can refine basic things on the go. I'm always refining goop and I never have to wait at a Refiner for anything basic like ionized cobalt or sodium Nitrate or whichever variety of Ferrite I require. 2. More of a mid game option but with care could be used earlier. Run Derilict Freighters. You can refine Tainted Metal (2:1) into nanites. Then refine all larval cores and hadal cores (both 1:50) into nanites. Then process all abyssal eyes in nutrient Processor to Horrifying Mush (single step top tier food) and give to Cronus. You could also possible end up with a butt ton of living slime to refine. As a bonus, Derilicts are the most efficient way to obtain Salvaged Frigate Modules for upgrading Freighters. Most of this information for Derilicts I credit Xaine for as it was his stream that I learned this from. I did not know that you could refine Salvaged Data for nanites though. I always just used them for gaining quick units in the early game until I was ready to unlock base parts.

Brilliant breakdown, Bob. I’m going with the exotic ship wave and salvaged data. So many great tips 💃

Another method, which can be tedious since nms can bug out with spawn rates, is to scan everything around you when you are on a planet. If you can easily find all of the animals, that’s a good bit of nanites. Otherwise you now can get the hidden second bit of items from the rocks and plants.

Two tips in and you've already blown my mind, Bob. Well done haha. I'm a noob 20hrs in and I've been selling my extra gold, silver, and plat for units and just started doing the same with extra salvaged data, I had no idea I could refine them for clusters! All those meaty chunks I've just been selling too :0

I just wanna say never in my life have I ever watched videos like these but this is my second video and you’re absolutely brilliant

One thing you are missing about goop farming, is its a passive method. You can combine it with other methods, or use it while doing missions or exploring. I pretty much am constantly processing goop.

You can craft ininite Nanites with the cooking method. You can multiply Faecium with itself with oxygen, out of that you can make Mordite, Marrow Bulbs, Meat Flakes etc up to Herb Encrusted Flesh, completely made out of Faecium. So absolutely no need to hunt animals for meat, just need the Oxygen Collector to make you get Oxygen for free and Combine it with Faecium (you'll need to add some sodium, but that can also be multiplied with itself by adding oxygen)

I am new to No Man´s Sky Beyond and I cant thank you enough for these amazing Tips!!! Thank you a lot for all the work you put in these videos to help other people!

Bob, wow that spot with the exotics is the bomb. I also saw 2 S class fighters and 2 S class shuttles. Bought em all. Tried to buy the station but you know how difficult those damn Vy'keens can be. Bastards just wouldn't sell. Oh, also got 20 plus storage augments, Love that spot, Thanks for the tip. Coming back next week with some friends, those Vy'keens don't stand a chance.

Another nice quick and clear video, Bob, thanks! I didn’t know about using Nexus missions to get the nutrient processor, so that’ll save me some time digging up technology. I once had a glitch that was duplicating Viscous Fluids in my refiner - take them out, open the refiner again, they’re still there. Took about 10 full stacks out of it. Processed 20k nanites out of all that. Took a long time, but set me up nicely - still got most of them.

re: mystery meat stew, another way to make it is to process mordite into meat flakes, and again into meaty chunks... then the chunks doubled up for the stew... if you have lots of mordite, you can do all this without leaving the comfort of your base or freighter

Your beginners guide's are amazing. Very well paced, very informative, and, most importantly, well communicated to newbies like myself. Thanks for not overloading my brain!

Thanks Bob, I did not know about the meaty chunks method!

That one method scraping the exotic ships looks awesome! One question though, is the portal that was used to get to that system a thing you just randomly find or is it a thing that you get to by doing the story? I've been playing no man's sky only for about a week and a half and I've barely done the story so if it is through the story, I haven't gotten to it lol. This was an awesome video and I think you just earned yourself a new subscriber! 😊

lol. That figures. Well Bob. I think I found the video that answered my question about my hauler getting reskinned. BTW thank you for responding to the comment and answering it anyway, I really do appreciate it.

I can't believe how at the beginning of the game I thought the goop and slime were useless and threw some away. Thanks for showing us how it's done - and spending $58k for 800 nanites is a pretty good deal honestly.

Oh. My. God. I did not know that salvaged data could be turned into nanites! I've been using the hud markers for buried technology to find damaged machinery (which does not show up on the scanner) to grind goop-fluid-slime-mold for nanites and throwing away the salvaged data! Thanks for this. Even though it made me hate myself a little.

Excellent Video Bob :)

Thanks Man! Will try the mystery stew method today this one seems the easiest one so far and also I don't have all the glyphs yet ! Have seen two of your videos so far they are better and more simpler than the videos most of the other youtubers for out there NMS ...Kudos!

Started this game over the weekend and I'm obsessed. These vids are helping me out a ton!

I was using your hyper speed beginners guide to get rich, (Base in trading post with medium refiners, etc). Incredibly dense, awesome video! But I had like 5 stacks of ionized cobalt and oxygen vanish on me out of medium refiners when I went to the station to buy more supplies. Not sure what the catalyst is, but medium refiners will dump on you, also.

For that one you've earned a sub ;) Keep it up, Bob!

I grab goop, liquid, slime, and mould on the run and refine in my backpack refiner constantly. Basically whenever i get it from the broken machinery, abandoned buildings, buying it off lifeforms, etc. I only bother with it when i have the backpack refiner. I rarely refine anything else unless im making chromatic metal or refining cores down. So it works

Another way I found with Expeditions update that requires you to do missions from regular stations(earning Explorers faction is one of the goals)....Stack the missions. If you're station hopping(looking for tools, ships, modules, storage expansions, all the typical things), it only takes seconds to check for the easy stackable ones, like kill or feed creatures which can be done on any planet with fauna as far as I've seen. The missions sometimes don't give nanites, but eh, units are good too. This works excellently because you can literally turn them all in at one station regardless of where you picked them up, so say you stack up 5 "Kill ____ creatures" (usually 10-15 which is a cakewalk) you get 5 times the rewards (if they all gave nanites). Great synergy with getting the meat to feed Watermelon head(which I didn't know about)

Just got NMS with Gamepass. I like the game and i'm happy that it has such nice content creators like u :) u got another sub

I have a suggestion for earning everything, I haven't done any testing so not sure it's the absolute best for much, but you said share if you got one so here goes: Found while making my way to the centre using 50/50 black holes and jumps. 1) arrive in system and dock (probably don't engage in any fights as black holes are breaking weapons) 2) pick up all missions that and NOT tied to a system: kill sentinel/cull creature/scan minerals+plants+animals and optionally photo missions and depot raids (I don't like photos because they auto clog Xbox uploads) 3) jump and repeat 4) once you have multiple pages of missions land on a planet and you can complete multiple missions concurrently. A depot raid can be used to virtually garuntee sentinel engagement. If you're not comfortable with walker's then keep ship nearby for an easy getaway. If you're losing money buying jump resources then complete a few missions. Hope you like it, I appreciate that it's useless if you don't want to cross multiple systems 😎

I have already beaten the game, and I had no idea until this vid that you could refine slime, or data plates, or the eggs, into nanites. Lore wise it makes sense given the truth of the universe, and that makes more interesting to me.

I was lucky when i first got to the nexus some dude gave me a full stack of tainted metal. I was going to sell this for millions of units but thankfully refined it and realised i got nanites. Thank you stranger! I bought lots of stuff thanks to you haha

Any ship farming is the best way. As long as they are B or better. Best if the price is less than 2.5m. Don't forget you can scrap parts in the ship for free wire looms and cobalt mirrors. Plus you frequently get Activated copper/iridum etc which you can turn into chromatic metal so no more trying to find copper. Works great even in the early game since you only loose 25% of the cost, which can be offset by selling the mats. Get that free ship in the story mission. Scrap it. Get the medium refiner and make chlorine or upgrade the scanner to make more money

I LOST MY MIND when I saw you click down when buying residual goop off one of the pilots to select all. FOR THE LAST WEEK been buying oxygen for chlorine farming sitting around going from 0-2400 holding the E key asking myself "why the hell don't they have a buy all button or something?". Now I know. THANK YOU.

I set up a base next to a bumper crop of Curious deposits. I get 1 whole stack of Runaway Mould with each lot I mine and there's another bumper crop just over 600u away marked with a save point. But the easy part about this is if you travel to just over 650u away from either crop of Curious deposits, they respawn. You don't even need to warp or leave the area to mine more. Curious Deposit base: Bird, Sunset, Dragonfly, Galaxy, Sunset, Bird, Moon, Hexagon, Diplo, Balloon/Waypoint, Bird, Moon

Very informative Bob, not filled with pointless info like most. Subscribe very much earned 👍🏽

Going to try the meaty chunks method seems amazing for early game 👍🏽 perfect vid

I like the point about not refining platinum because it's worth so much, because it's so true. I've bought b class junk fighters for 750k and got 3 b class augs (worth around 200 nanites all told) and a storage aug along with 2/3 that money back so in terms of units per nanites even junk ships are 10x more efficient than plat.

A note on the Platinum method - It is possible on a Glitch planet to have a Gold mine close enough to a Silver mine to have them both at the same base. In this case it is economically feasable to farm Platinum into nanites. But hard to find 1 of each mine close enough together.

I tried the "Dig a hole" method on the Whispering Eggs and those Aliens got down in the hole with me. I just take the hits. One hit me so far up and out it took me a while the first time to realize what happened. I laughed myself silly. Thanks for the reference about the Terrain Manipulator. I will try to find that video. Sounds like a fun few minutes.

I suppose it depends on luck but my favorite method of getting nanites is basically farming sentinels between my bases I've built on worlds where they are aggressive. It can be hit or miss but the amount of mods I get from basically wiping all waves of sentinels on each planet and resetting them can be somewhat hit or miss but ive had anywhere from a few hundred nanites for my sell off to close to 10k (though i will admit it had been at least a wave or two before I went in to sell them).

I’m happy for all those PC player cause you always get the goodies. Unfortunately ps4 doesn’t get crap, at least mine. I’ve seen so many ( yours and others ) KZfaq vids that show all these stations and places for exotic ships (only crashed ones show up for me). Yet I’m still not seeing anything land. Playing since 2016, all missions completed and have “All the time in the world” now. Still putting a like for this video cause it was informative for getting quick nanites. Going back to Lousongola and I guess I’m left with converting my Larval Cores and making stew for biggie. Lol Great video -from your new subscriber. Thank you.

Tainted metal is the best way for nanites. Find a freight that had no enemy's. Put the broadcast in your personal refiner. Collect the manifests and tracked metal and nanites from opening containers. Go out, use the broadcast again. Rinse and repeat, Go and sell manifests in the station. You get more tainted metal. Them refine it 2 nanites per 1 tainted metal. I get around 700 800 tainted metal. In 10 minutes that's 1600 nanites when converted. The refining takes 12 minutes for 4000 nanites

I started a silver mine to go along with my gold mine for nanites. I stay maxed out on units so cost isn't an issue. I usually take all the salvage data I get to the Anomaly. I've got everything in the entire area unlocked so I don't need it. I scrapped 2 exotics for hours one night. I got so burned out I didn't want to scrap a ship for a while. You're definitely correct about the ships. I upgraded a couple of ships with all the nanites I got and still ended up with a storage container full of S class upgrades. I've got six ships now and have a hard time sacrificing one for the cause. I'm down to around 55,000 nanites and if I do end up trading my shuttle for a slightly different shuttle I may need 90,000 to get it to the S class I've upgraded this shuttle to. It looks like I'll reconnect my gold and silver mines and get to refining.

perfect video perfect timing exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man :)

I dropped base computers and put walls around a couple "curious deposits." Between the two of them, I can harvest about 1.4 stacks of runaway mold. With teleport terminals, I can bounce back and forth between the two, and by the time I finish a round trip, the mold at the first base has already spawned again. I do the slime thing too, but I use the personal refiner to do it passively while I'm running around doing stuff.

every time i need info for anything in no mans sky, its always ur vids that are clear and spot on :)

Bob, you are the best. Right up there with my other favorite Bobs. Barker. Ross. Dylan. Flay. Deniro.

Great video Bob, Thanks. Someone mentioned you when I tried the ship scrapping method (watched Hawk do it). I constantly get comments wondering why I throw away the slime. 😄

Bob breaks it down once again! Great video man :)

I started the game 1 week ago and I'm "nanite capped" atm. I got few by just randomly playing the game and after advancing through the story I made money by setting up a mining farm wich was a fun project(like 20M a day or something like that). I used the money to buy ships to dismantle them to upgrade my ship and the mods I had from that put me at something like 20K nanite. Now since I did lots of station missions when learning words(some are stackable and complete at once), I get semi passively lots of nanites when entering new systems and speaking to the representative npc and picking stackable missions. Basically anything gives plenty of nanites at a point in the game. I'm full S rank and buy S mods for my friends when they miss some, I really think it is more time consuming finding the ones you want at S rank than getting the nanite :D.

I got really lucky and I found these groups of a dozen petrified turds made of tons of runaway mold. They were marked with the yellow star like metal fingers in the scanner. Had to dig a hole around them or they roll away when you shoot them. Found them on several planets all within a couple days and made like 40,000 nanites.

I have max units. That platinum refining sounds great 😂

Best Nanite method is a Curious Deposit/Runaway Mould farm. Runaway Mould refines 5:1 into Nanites. A full 9999 stack (+1 to even it out) takes 20 minutes to refine into 2000 Nanites per refiner. My CuriDepo base has 10 refiners. Once they're up and running you can keep harvesting and feeding the refiners. Ignoring the initial harvest time, my refiners can make me 60,000K nanites per hour. Funnest Nanite method is robbing freighters. When you look at the cargo pods on a freighter it will tell you what's in them "Gold" "Platinum" "Chromatic Metal" etc. Sometimes the pods don't say anything. Those have Nanites. Not a big nanite maker, but once you complete your base expansion missions, the science terminal korvax guy starts asking for data (flora, fauna, etc) and gives you nanites for it. Behaves similar to treeface and brainhead guys on the anomaly.

This may have a spoiler but i have a glitch i guess at artemis his grave where i can just constantly interact with it and get 100 nanites.

Thanks bob. Didn't knrw who you were but thank you verry much for this video. Lot of awesome and handy tips about each way of getting nanites

Thank you so much, you’ve literally made playing this game so much fun!

I was dead when he said watermelon face guy. 😂

Hearing I can make money from the cooking was like the greatest thing in the world!

I think the cooking stew Method gets not enough attention by far and is never explained well enough. The amazing thing is that you can basically generate Nanites out of oxygen, and oxygen is pretty easy to come by especially with some gas extractors or oxygen harvesters. You just need faecium and oxygen to Beginn with, both pretty easy to get. When you refine these together, you triple your amount of faecium. Next you refine 2/3 of the faecium you get into mordite. The other 1/3 of faecium is again refined with oxygen to create more faecium. The mordite can be cooked to meat flakes in a nutrient processor. The meat flakes can be cooked to meaty chunks. And if you cook 2 of these meaty chunks together, you get the stew which goes for a solid amount of nanites each. That might sound like a lot of steps, but you can set up a nice production line: a few refiners that constantly triple your faecium by refining if with oxygen to make sure your raw material supply never runs out. Then a few refiners that constantly refine faecium into mordite. Then a few nutrient processors that constantly turn mordite into meat flakes. Then a few nutrient processors to constantly turn meat flakes into meaty chunks. And then a few nutrient processors that constantly turn 2 meaty chunks into mystery meat stew. I constantly get a decent amount of oxygen from gas extractors which is more then enough to keep that production line running infinitely. The only thing you need to do is put on a podcast or stream in the background, and constantly walk back and forth taking out the products from one step of the production line and put them into the next one so that the entire line is constantly running and producing multiple stacks of mystery meat stew per hour. Then every once in a while you fly to melon head in the anomaly and give him the stews one after another and get tons of nanites in the process.

Your videos are the best. I’ve been watching them heaps and playing along. Loving the game!

Another decent nanite farm is to learn the emergency broadcast receiver glitch using your personal refiner, find a derelict frieghter that gives S class mods, and do speed runs over and over. Then sell the ones you don't want at the space station.

Sweet, didnt know about the mystery stew and watermelon face

i got 150,000 nanite's farming runaway mauld just finding a planet with a big group of them making a wall so they dont roll away. make a teleporter and jump back and forth about 20 or thirty times i usually fill my inventory up and then make about two stacks maybe three of carbon and a wall of about 50 portable refiners and go to town. takes about an hour depends on how many u want to get. i uploaded my base i use as makeshift nanite' farm

Thanks for the great info Bob.👍👍👍✌😷

Thanks for the tips! Will be sure to use this on my normal playthrough tomorrow!

If you are unlucky with animals, you can use 'vegan' stew recipe, Jade Peas + Sweetroot. They are everywhere and you can just pick them up doing other things.

not sure how efficient the method is but if you use the oxygen + chlorine/Ionized cobalt money making process you can also buy Pugnium from some pilots when getting oxygen from them on the stations. Pugnium refines directly into nanites.

No one seems to acknowledge that portal addresses are different between game save types. So if you play on survival this portal address DOES NOT lead to where its showing here.

Survival Bob dropping knowledge, great job dude 🙂🤘

on your meat stew method, its much simpler to cook fungal mould into delicious vegetable stew, just throw a farm on your freighter with a few nutrient processors and watch youtube while you cycle timers lol.

You can also refine pugneum, hadal cores, and larval cores into nanites. I think pugneum is 15 to 1, but the cores are both 1 to 50

The best way for me is to find all the fauna on a planet and then go into the discovery menu and get the nanite bonus from discovering all fauna. If you didn't know you can do this, go through your discovery menu and see if you've completed any unawares. You can get a lot doing this, and whereas for anomaly planets where there's only 1 fauna to discover you might only get 250 nanites, on larger planets with more fauna the bonus can be very lucrative!

Really appreciate your videos! I'm an old guy, still working and enjoying gaming in my off time. Your video's REALLY help me out, thank you so much. 🙏

Pugneum purchased from markets and pilots, buy scrap from the dealer, sell to the upgrade merchants. Once you've got tons of cash, stacking pugneum is pretty easy. Just time consuming to find it, not everyone sells it.

Two ships no longer spawn since the origins update... no more nanites.

Great video! I'd only add that you don't need to scrap Exotic ships, though it is more efficient. You can scrap Class A ships of any kind and you still get nanites, just not as many but you're not waiting around as much.

Derelict freighters give a lot of living slime quite quickly

So salvage scrap will be the best in my opinion, I usually find two or three right next to each other and have usually more then one inside Each container

If you get the exotic ships and scrap one you can take the upgrade and duplicate it over and over you can get a lot

9:50 Portal Address for double exotic ship spawn.

I shot up about 50 of those 'Biological Horror' scorpion Polymorph things inside the whispering eggs ( i stood up on the roof of the building and they couldnt get me!) and it registered that I was getting 'something' from the hits. But in my exosuit I found NOTHING?? Surely those suckers yield SOMETHING???Just watched a video on another channel a guy feeds critters and collects POO. but its a pretty intese refining gig! But hes ending up with NANITES FROM POO!!!! The video is so funny I was crying with laughter some critters drop poo like BOULDERS and they are worth NANITES!

best way I go about it is to find the runaway mould on two or three different planet's and build a base computer, power and teleporter along with 2 or 3 small refiners next to them, after you shoot them, fill the refiners, teleporter to the next bunch, and the runaway mould will respawn after you teleport, I can make a ton of nanites in no time.

Just a PSA - I have absolutely lost my medium refiner materials. It seems making inventory swaps or changes while it's running can cause this. Leaving and travelling large distances has caused it as well. I've lost the materials 3 times with a medium, never anything else.

Uh nice for mentioning the bug with the ship reskin i had that recently and wondered why it was like that but i dont mind i got the hotrod skin from that

Use Gold and Silver farms bring them to another planet or find one with close and then use furnace for nanites and use teleporters to bypass the distance between max amount of furnaces to have a very effective farm

You da BOB man, thx for some great vids, you have upped my no man sky enjoyment, and I thx you

Thanks for this guide Bob. A well-earned like and sub
