Thanks Again To Prosperous Universe for sponsoring the video! Check it out and support the channel with this link: tinyurl.com/4zj6chwp Oxygen farms became waaay more important in the 4.0 update for No Man's Sky. You can't find oxygen normally in shops, and it is more rare to find in the wild. So make your own and get ahead in No Man's Sky!

Just another tip, find an airless or dead planet. It will still have gas nodes but the only ones it has are oxygen. Their low gravity also makes it pretty easy to cover a lot of ground on foot if you're hunting an S-class node.

You're MUCH better off stacking the extractors. The center of the hotspot, the part where it's most concentrated, is like a cylinder going all the way up. Same with mineral extractors. Stack them on top of one another to get maximum extraction.

One HUGE tip that will easily increase your output 10x on a farm this size, with ZERO additional resources spent. NMS has diminishing returns on all extractors. Meaning, after you get more than 4 extractors linked together, adding a 5th will reduce them all to, say, 85% efficiency, 6th, now they're down to say 75%, and you very quickly get to where each additional extractor only yields you, say, 1-2% more yields per hour. Very poor. You can get around this simply by not having more than 4 extractors linked to the same pipes. So, for each squad of 4 extractors, have a little section of supply depos right next to them. It doesn't matter how close/far these are to other extractors/depos, as long as there aren't pipes connecting them together. Just make sure that you never have more than 4 extractors connected to each other via a pipe. If you think about it, you can see how extreme this production nerf is in this video. He was getting about 250/hour per extractor when he had 10 extractors. Simple maths means, at the very beginning of the build, he ALREADY was going to get 2,500 oxygen an hour with just 10 extractors. But the second he linked them all together, the production tanked. Then cut to the END of the build where he has, like, 30-40 extractors, and yet he's still only getting 1,900 oxygen per hour. If Jason were just to redo the piping, connecting each chunk of extractors in groups of 4, and then to their own little chunk of silos, his production SHOULD be something like *8,500* oxygen per hour. And again, this is with ZERO additional resources spent.

Top tips: 1) When transmitting power a long distance, make joins in your power cable with a light box. You can then see where your power is when building. 2) Join Pipelines with Supply Depots. Distributed storage, and easy place to join piplines.

Holy shit you take so long to just say a few steps. 1. Get Survey upgrade blueprint for multi tool from the Anomaly. 2. Also get gas extractor and supply depot blueprints from Anomaly. 3. Use the survey upgrade with multitool on a planet surface, try to find a good Oxygen hotspot. 4. Build a base near oxygen spot. 5. Place extractor and supply depot at the oxygen spot center. You are now farming oxygen.

I would add: 1. When you find the sweet spot where you get the highest yield, you can mark it with a beacon. Then, using the build camera, fly up so that you can see where the column of light comes through the top of the gas extractor. Repeat as you stack the extractors. 2. I like to set up a battery at each of my mines to see how much power I’m using versus what is available. It’s handy for gauging whether to add extractors or generators. 3. If you build a mine that requires extending base boundaries, build your entire mine before you leave the system. Once you leave, you won’t be able to build or modify anything beyond the default 300u radius. 4. I like to use half arches to make power lines with small lights on either side of the top tier. It’s handy for seeing if there’s any problems with power supply, and it looks almost as good as burying the wires.

Don't get hung up on finding S class deposits. They continue collecting even when your not playing so they will fill up when you're off line. What's more important is find a power spot near the resource you want extract. So I always search out the electro magnetic source then see what minerals or gases are near it. Sometimes you get the trifecta of power. gas and mineral all close together. I've set up several stasis farms playing on permadeath and that's what I focus on. I always stack extractors in numbers divisible by four. Since they have a storage of 250 four of them gives you 1000 storage then the actual storage unit holds 1000 so when I need 1000 of a mineral to make my 20 stasis devices walk up to the storage container and only collect half giving me just the 1000 I need which is great when dealing with limited inventory. I need 10,000 of the gases for my stasis devices so I stack 8 extractors and 8 storge containers and connect them all to get the 10,000 I need.

I love the way you make it all clear for new players, How and why you do this and that. A long time ago when u was new to the game you helped me a lot and i’ve got to thank you for that. Keep up the good work!

I like using a piece of metal flooring to start. The cross pattern makes for a perfect sight to hit the center and the 4 segments each perfectly fit any industrial unit. Plus, by using 4, you get 1k from the extractors then use 9 storage containers to make a full stack of any resouce. I'll use the storage containers to bring the resource to my base.

I love my oxygen farm. But things always disappear from the freighter refiners. I cant even plan or hit and run play anymore. It makes me sad.

The other option for getting Oxygen quickly, as suggested by Hawkes Gaming, is a base near an ocean with a decent proportion of oxygen plants, shooting the ocean in your ship to collect them really quickly. It's quick, fun, and relatively low startup cost.

hen I build a farm like this, I like to put one storage tank inside my building. Usually, it will be close to my teleporter. My sales terminal is also placed close by. This makes harvesting multiple bases much quicker and easier.

I'm new to the game and having a blast! This has been one of the most clearly presented tutorial videos I have seen. Very helpful and great energy! 😂

I always use flooring to stack miners on top of miners. You can get better production that way.

Perfect timing. I've been looking for those elusive S class mining spots for various materials the past few days. Haven't found any yet, but at least when I do, I can be confident in knowing how to set things up. Appreciate your content, as always.

Instead of using colbalt you can use chlorine instead because it is 202 units per one chlorine. Oxygen and chlorine together will refine it into more chlorine then you had before. Start with 10 chlorine and refine it with a lot of oxygen and you just keep multiplying it and end up with thousands of chlorine that can make lots of units.

No way! I literally just commented your last video about me getting an oxygen farm started. Unreal. Haven't watched yet but just about to. Thanks!

Great tips for constructing an Oxygen farm! I had been refining Salt + Oxygen for chlorine to make simple but decent profit but found it was a pain in the arse trying to source enough Oxygen all the time to keep up production. Will definitely be trying something like this soon myself. Cheers! 👍

There would be even more yield if the extractors were clustered around the center of the hotspot rather than strung out in a straight line, but by the end I see there is such a huge array it wouldn't make that much difference -- and the nice straight line is easier to see tutorial purposes.

Great video, appreciate the info! Just wanted to note that I found out this week through playing that chlorine refines in the same ratio and recipe and is worth more than ionized cobalt, so I would recommend doing that instead to anyone watching

This might be the first video sponsor I've seen on KZfaq that I'm actually interested in. And it's related to the content you make?!?! Sir, respect earned.

Amazing timing on this video. I was literally planning starting work on an Oxygen farm for my PermaDoom save when I get home from work tonight. Never bothered with farms before but with the 4.0 update taking Oxygen off the market unless you go Easy Mode I figured I'd give farming a go.

Looks like I'm going to need 40 salvaged data to get mine set up. I hope the oxygen doesn't vanish if you leave, like almost every other resource left in a machine. I've lost milk, eggs and oxygen, all left supposedly slowly collecting in resource collectors on planet surfaces, only to find them empty when I return.

Your enthusiasm is infectious bro I love it. I just started playing No Man Sky and most of the game is hard to understand but this is cool. New sub here 👍🏽

Finally getting into this game after giving up on 6 runs in the first 2 hours. I love the little QOL stuff like them adding the “overall” box in the UI so you don’t have to add it all up yourself. That QOL is present throughout the game

A quick note to maximize production time, since once the farm is set up, most of the time is spent waiting for the refineries. You can only build five refineries (two large and three medium) together, but you can actually use six refineries while doing this. Just drop stacks of the materials in the backpack refinery and let it cook while the other refineries are also working. I'm sure plenty of people will think "that's obvious!" but I've found lots of stuff in these videos and comments that probably should be obvious but I didn't know about them, so it can't hurt to share. :)

I love your enthusiasm and your demonstrations. You just earned a new sub. This was very helpful and I can't wait to make a ton of units!

Thanks for the video. I just made a Gold farm (now that my Activated Indium farm is no longer worth its weight in metal plates) and now I'll have to make an Oxygen farm. :) Would love to see a video on the new “diminishing returns” mechanism in No Man’s Sky - something about too many harvesters causes output to fall off sharply?

A good way to farm is to hit up other ppls farms... I haven't had to farm in 3 years and I'm loaded with minerals.

Would you think about making a video about use of the exocraft. 1) most let you find the back pack expansion building 2) the monitor can let you find crashed ships 3) the nautilon lets you find sunken ships.

Na bro this is actually a good video on this game, most people make these type of videos confusing but you nailed it imo, super simple and complex at the same time

Something else I found out @JasonPlaysNMS is that even if the scanner says that there's nothing found, listen to how the scanner sounds by turning the music all the way down. There are tiny noises of static and skipped chirps that occur that will give you clues as to where you can direct yourself to get in range of a gas power or mineral zone. I discovered this the other day when I had a headache and turned off the music while scanning! It's 100% accurate!

other people skip over a lot of stuff but ur video has just the right amount of detail :)

just came back and started a new game after a couple years i think, but i was confused of why i couldn't buy oxygen then found out in normal mode you cant just buy a lot of stuff like that at first i was kinda disappointed but after playing a while its way more fun i think no longer stuck in the buy sell loop till im rich then buying everything, now i have to build farms and think of other ways to make cash and PLAY THE GAME i really love it now, love your videos by the way i listen to you for like 8 hours a day while im sandblasting

Btw dont bother connecting paat like 4 extractors it stops giving as much and its more profitable to just set those 4 to ther own storage cluster and then place 4 more to their own storage clusters so you have mutiple clusters extracting 1200 per hour

You put them side by side which takes them away from the center. You can stack them.

i dont know why but i can always come here for closure, these vids are comforting af

So i had this problem. Oxygen extracters and depots all connected and running. Green lights and everything even saying it's filling. It just didn't fill up. So i went to my Dioxide farm to see what it's doing. It had the same problem completely empty. So i picked up the extracters and put them down again. Reconnected everything and then it happened. I had red lights saying it was full wich it was. So i took out the dioxide and i could keep on grabbing 15k Dioxide. I kept doing this just wanting it to be empty. I now have over 1 million dioxide in my vaults. I went and sold it ofcourse. When i came back after emptying all my vaults i could still grab Dioxide... What is going on?! I do remember i went to a knowledge rune temple thing. After i interacted with the rune it told me if i wanted to sleep, stay awake or leave. I chose sleep and it turned me to sleep for an unknown amount of time. Could this be why i have billions of dioxide in my extracters?

why dont just use chlorine for making the money, since its worth more units a unit? Now, they nerfed so yeah, thats kinda sad. I started refining my Active Indium for doubling the farms worth but well, its not that worth it anymore.

I gave up on building on flattened terrain because it grows back over time and you have to tear down every thing and then rebuild if you want it nice and neat again. Instead I build the extractor directly on the ground and I put the storage on an elevated platform structure that I build. The terrain growing back is also why I do not build in caves that are not big enough on their own. I find it really frustrating when I come back at a later date and half of my interior is filled in with plants or terrain.

I appreciate you having 10 and not just 9 lmao I have always had a weird thing about numbers ending in 9. Like it's so close to an even 10 it just bugs me. Especially in stores and stuff when something is 9.99 drives me insane.

You would lose your mind over my current oxy farm. I was shooting for 100k production and storage. I got much more than I was originally intending. It is an underwater mega factory running 24 hrs a day on a electro hotspot. It also has an activated copper mine in it. It can be found on one of the planets for the singularity expedition. It will be fully ready for the redux expeditions. The oxy farm alone is using around 8,000kw of electricity. It's 3 stacks 11 high with 4 extractors per pod. Each level makes around 1,175 oxygen per hour except the bottom two levels that decided to attach to one another bluetooth style. Stores 44,000 oxygen in the bottom two levels where as the rest only store 11,000...

My friend showed me to make a circle of extractors right around the center of the area to maximize efficiency. And it worked really well

I was checking out random players bases yesterday and I ended up on the planet in this video. A lot of people have set up O2 farm's there.

Thanks so much! i really needed oxygen for building and making stuff in my exosuit.

you can also make a ton of units free with carbon and ferrite dust. Fly around a planet and use the positron ejector to shoot the ground. In a couple minutes I can make 40+k carbon and ferrite dust, which refines into magnetized ferrite etc. selling that make a nice free profit. plus shooting the ground gets you Stone Geos which are valuable as well.. but also I learned that fixing the Cargo on salved ships is 100% worth it. I made a ton doing wrecked ships. Another way is creating the valuable minerals from recipes which take cheap minerals to craft for a nice profit.

I'm new to this game. Love this game Found you. Love your videos. Now I'm going to look into glyphs as I'm that new to this game.... thanks for the great videos

Hitting that subscribe button, I really enjoy how factual and educational your videos are.

Good explanation of how to set up the extractors etc - but incredibly inefficient layout/structure. In order to avoid the law of diminishing returns you should only place 4-6 extractors and supply depots (as many as you like) in one connected circuit. You can then place another set of extractors and supply depots directly on top of the first layer - use floors and walls to separate them making sure none of them connect to the other set by accident. You can share the same electricity supply but the pipes must not touch or get too close to the other circuit. Then each layer of extractors will produce 2000-2500 units per hour with no loss of extraction rate. You can stack these as high as you like - I have built 12 floors of 6 extractors with 72 supply depots for each floor in the past. Obviously this works for minerals too - but since they nerfed activated indium I think Gold is probably the most profitable mineral. But early game chlorine expansion using oxygen is quick and easy, but still requires a lot more setup than previously...

I never usually bother putting down more than one extractor per site, and just build a ton of storage and leave it. The next time I log in and visit will usually give me more than enough resources for my needs. I usually end up with multiple sites that have oxygen extraction as it's a pretty common gas and if I'm mining for another resource already, I may as well extract the nearest gas too.

I prefer to harvest Gold. On a B Spot i got 15x4 Extractors making 15x1050 Gold/h which can directly sold for 5,5m Units/h. Additional with a Silver Extractor you can also refine plantine which can be transformed to nanites. But i recommend before you start such a farm, to build some extractors for scrapmetal (for ferrit), Oxygen (refine to carbon) and copper (chromatic Metal). So you have the main resources to build such huge harm without manual harvesting everything.

I've just started in VR. Never played this game. But this is clearly years of play time

Thanks for that, set up my first oxygen farm today following your process. I'll probably do a bit of tweaking to pretty it up, but it's making plenty.

If you want to maximize your output, put the extractors in a circle around the centre one.

In survey mode on Nintendo switch you can place down a tiny beacon and once I find the center of the gas node I place it down on it so I can remember

Gret vid! Answered all my resource farm questions! 👍

I am going to be a little bit critical of your base building here for this farm, I got in the habit of finding power and whatever material you are wanting, that way you use less materials with batteries, and solar panels.

The video starts at 1:41, following a paid ad for a crappy video game.

Wire glitch extractors on top of each other. All at max resource % and can connect to supply depot with 1 pipe. Not duplicating, just being efficient

Not really worth putting more than 4 of them in a square as the diminishing returns makes it not worth it. This generally gets you around 1k/hour which is all you really need. Also finding power is much easier than using solar panels/batteries.

Thanks for the crafting overview, but that base is so crazy and wasteful it's triggering! 1) Flattening out the land looks pretty until the land snaps back and your equipment is buried! 2) Not finding the actual center and arranging the o2 collectors in as line as opposed to clustered around the source! 3) overbuilding power by at least a factor of 3 at your base.

Thanks for this video! it was very easy to follow and helpful to me as I am about 15 hours in and I am still bumbling about learning how to play!

Talks about "Centering" then spreads out the sides instead of staying in a tight square :)

In my early stages of the game but I’m getting all the bits to make this farm. Want to make some cash… thanks for the great video commentary is brilliant for a newbie!

Respect the OCD approach bro I’m the same 😂

I put the glyphs into the portal but can’t find this base?

10:38 you forgot to mention in the beginning to also research the supply pipe lol

mine is at 1900 per hour. if i place an extractor by it self, it says 240 per hour, but if i connect it, it only ads like 5 per hour to the grid. is this normal?

just hearing you talking about Prosperous Universe kind reminds me of EVE Online. lol

Honest question, Do you have to have this mission available prior to the latest update?

Great o2 farm! Chlorine is probably easier to work though. It was nerfed but still 2m a stack. Little higher than icobalt

Thx man, been spending hrs lpokimg for oxy , this farm surely beats that

And because of that I'm waiting update where we get some other options for powering stuff,larger storing unit's and similar stuff. We are in space where is that technology. More options for ships,more weapons, city's on the planets, frigate battles. This is space and it's huge

Change dates and time settings and you can load up while your there.

Thanks for the video man! I would like to know if you could show us a way to farm ferrite dust fast or any way to farm it, i would be thankful!

What I don't understand: When you treat the extractors single, you have an extraction rate of 342 and a storage of 250. If you connect ten of them, the storage ist 250 * 10 = 2500, but the extraction rate is NOT 342 * 10 = 3420, it's only 1315, so around *4. Ain't it more efficient then to let them work solo?

i dont know if it works but it does work for missions. is to just change the time on your pc to fast forward.

I get nitrogen and radon and not oxygen? Was this changed in the last update?

Awesome video mate! Thanks a lot^^

Use Clorine insted. Base value of ionized Cobolt is 162 units. Clorine is 205.

Has someone who has a Chlorine Refeinery with a decent income of salt, but no where near enough oxygen, this is very useful. Yes i do get Oxygen from the ocean but the Oxygen to salt ratio is never enough to super charge my production. What I am wondering is don't the gas pockets eventually deplete?

Does the terrain still grow back again? I remember building my first base totally clueless at the time. Hours spent in vain, such a disappointment.

You could have mentioned that you can stack storage and the extractors on top of each other. So if you wanted to not have a sprawling farm you can have a multistory compact farm.

thanks for sharing the coordinates

I use this method with mineral extractors mining salt on my main planet on my main normal mode save then turn into chlorine then combine with oxygen for more chlorine = good money

That's silly. 3 base system that makes 100s of millions a day and all you need to collect condensed carbon. 1 base each collecting radon, suphurine, and nitrogen, slap down enough storage tanks to hold like 20-30k of the resource. Put down 3 battery's and 3 solar for each extractor and maybe a normal generator or 2 just to make sure the battery's charged to start. Even at a b class with 5-6 extractors your 30k storage will fill up in around 24 hours hands free. And then you craft in your inventory with condensed carbon to make 1.5million per unit. So it boils down to every 250 radon-sulpherine and nitrogen + 150 or 200 condensed carbon = 1,500,000

I always place a waypoint marker wherever the centre of the resources are then see if I can find a power source then build a base Inbetween them. Think it's X or Y on the Xbox controller.

Note: Oxygen also doubles Chlorine. But Ionized Cobalt is farmable so

Only thing got me mad I completed the Omega expedition and the game made my game normal but it was like I started all over again mission wise but had alrdy started a oxy farm next to ammonia b- grd but having power issues with base using glass but half room got power half don't but it's one big room

I tried your method but the numbers don't add up, I think there is a bug in the game. Calculation: 1. each extractor should be harvesting 150~300 units of oxygen per hour 2. It looks like you have 40+ extractors but you are only getting 1942units/hr instead of 100k+ My method: 1. I spread out the extractors a little and just put in 4 row 2. Each row has 5 extractors 3. I only connect pipelines by role instead of connecting them all. 4. I am getting 4000k+ oxygen with only 20 extractors I found out that if you built the extractors too close to each other the numbers bug out, even without the pipeline, it still connects to other extractors and lowers the numbers.

Nice vid. I didn't know this! Does it only work with ionized cobalt? And if other players take your oxigen will it be gone for you?

Only thing I'm confused about is the battery. Do I just wire the solar panel to the extractors and then the other end to the batteries? Like can i link the batteries together with 1 wire like the extractors? And if so will their energy stack?

So if I build this, do I have to hang around? Playing the switch version. I ask because the mineral extractor that you place on top of say copper, you need to hang around as it will not mine that stuff if you leave the planet. Added: does the oxygen eventually run out of that place or is it infinite?

I don’t know man, my 17 portable refiners looking real nice right now.

Oxygen is kinda cracked, with how much it helps in gathering other resources. Might balance out those diminishing returns they added to the extractors, again. Thanks for the tips, as always

very good and easy to follow guide! thanks from a new player

november 2022 and you offer to place extractors horizontally and join them to only one group?

as impressive as this is I noticed you seem to have doubled or tripled your extractors only to get maybe a 30-40% increase in yield

Great video! I Made one and it says my gas extractor is online and generating 150/hr and my power produced vs consumed is good, but they aren’t producing oxygen at all?
