The ultimate money-making method in No Man’s Sky – sustainable, scalable, and capable of yielding billions over time once set up correctly.

---

Forget chasing rare drops or grinding trade loops. The true wealth engine in No Man’s Sky is industrial-scale base production.
By combining atmospheric gas harvesters 💨, crop farms 🌱, and advanced crafting chains ⚙️, you can mass-produce Stasis Devices and Fusion Ignitors, the two highest-value single craftable trade goods in the game.
Each one sells for about 💰 15,600,000 units. Once automated, this method generates massive profits – up to billions over time (note: the in-game unit cap is ~4.29B).

Base Tech Needed:

• 💨 Atmospheric Gas Extractors
  
• ⛏️ Mineral Extractors (optional, for metals)
  
• 📦 Supply Depots for storage
  
• 🔋 Power Grid (Solar + Batteries, or Electromagnetic Generators)
  
• ⚙️ Medium/Large Refiners (multiple recommended)
  
• 🌱 Bio-Domes or Hydroponic Trays for crops

Blueprints Required:

• Glass → Lubricant → Living Glass
  
• Heat Capacitor → Hot Ice → Cryo-Pump → Cryogenic Chamber
  
• Poly Fibre → Circuit Board → Superconductor → Quantum Processor
  
• Iridesite (Stasis Device component)
  
• Geodesite (Fusion Ignitor component)
  
• Portable Reactor (Fusion Ignitor component)
  
• Final Blueprints: Stasis Device & Fusion Ignitor

---

Target Items:

• 🧊 Stasis Device (~15.6M units each)
  
• 🔥 Fusion Ignitor (~15.6M units each)

🧊 Stasis Device – built from:

• Cryogenic Chamber
  
• Quantum Processor
  
• Iridesite

🔥 Fusion Ignitor – built from:

• Portable Reactor
  
• Quantum Processor
  
• Geodesite

Each of these parts requires multiple sub-components crafted from 🌱 crops, 💨 atmospheric gases, and ⛏️ refined metals.
Expect to need around 500+ of each atmospheric gas (Nitrogen, Radon, Sulphurine) and roughly 30 plant slots worth of crops to sustain one production cycle.

• 🪐 Find a Good Planet – Prefer gas hotspots and farmland biomes. Electromagnetic hotspots are a bonus.
  
• ⚡ Lay Infrastructure – Place 10–20 gas extractors, connect to supply depots, and power via solar or EM generators.
  
• 🌱 Plant Crops – Grow all crops required by the recipes (Frost Crystals, Gamma Root, Solanium, Star Bulbs, Cactus Flesh, etc).
  
• ⚙️ Build Refining Stations – Use 5+ medium/large refiners to handle gas compression and intermediate crafting.
  
• 🧪 Craft in Bulk – Collect gases + crops → refine → build subcomponents → assemble final items.
  
• 💰 Sell Strategically – Don’t crash a single system’s economy; rotate between rich (Opulent/Advanced) economies for maximum profit.

---

• 🚀 Start small: 5–10 Stasis Devices per cycle (~78–156M units)
  
• 🔧 Expand farms and gas collectors to boost output
  
• 💎 Target: 30–50 devices per cycle = 1B+ units
  
• ⚠️ Remember: Unit cap is ~4.29B. Deposit excess into storage if near the limit.

---

• 🌍 Build multiple farms across planets for different gases
  
• 🚢 Use freighter farming modules for supplemental crops
  
• 🛰️ Run daily frigate missions for rare trade goods
  
• ⛈️ Farm Storm Crystals or Activated Indium for quick cash while waiting on farm cycles

Once established, this industrial farm method is the most reliable long-term wealth generator in No Man’s Sky.
No exploits, no piracy – just smart infrastructure and automation.

Craft 🧊 Stasis Devices and 🔥 Fusion Ignitors, sell them wisely, and you’ll be a 💰 billionaire explorer.
