Whether you played No Manâs Sky two days ago or havenât played since launch, returning to the game since the Next update is going to involve some adjusting. If youâre wondering how to make Warp Cells or where to find resources, hereâs a few tips.
You Can Opt Out Of Multiplayer
A lot of people are excited for exploring the galaxy with their friends now that No Manâs Sky has multiplayer. Others liked the solo exploring experience of the previous iterations of the game. In the new update, other players wonât be able to join your game as an avatar without permission, but you can still see them as glowing orbs that can use voice chat like you did in the previous version. If you donât want to bother with some random, chatty glowing orbs, you donât have to have other players enter your game if you do nât want to. If you go to the options menu and select Network And Voice and then turn off Network Play, other players wonât be able to join your game.
Sell All Your Old Crap
If youâre a returning player, the first thing youâll notice is that your inventory is full of items named âobsolete technology.â You can sell these at the nearest space station and bask in your excess credits. When I loaded up the game, some of my other old items had turned into something called a âtechnology module.â You might not need those right away, but itâs worth hanging on to a couple of them because youâll need them for some recipes down the road.
Be On The Lookout For These Elements
In the Next update, the recipes for fueling your Launch Thruster, Pulse Jump and Hyperdrive are completely different. Now they need Dihydrogen, Tritium, and rare metals like Copper. Dihydrogen makes fuel for your Launch Thruster when you combine it with metal sheeting. It look s like blue crystals jutting out of the ground, and you can find it on pretty much any planet. Tritium, used to fuel your Pulse Jump, can be mined from asteroids using your photon cannon, and is also pretty easy to find. Copper is used in the process of making Antimatter, which is necessary for fueling your Hyperdrive. Itâs a bit trickier to find, but you can scan planets from space and see whether or not Copper will be there before you land. In case you forget any of these recipes, if you hover your cursor what you want to build there will be an option to pin the recipe to your options screen.

The Analysis Visor Will Show You Where You Need To Go
In order to find Copper, youâre going want to land on a planet and then bring up your analysis visor. This also works differently than before the upda te. Now your analysis visor doesnât just scan nearby flora, fauna and minerals, it also tells you about nearby buildings, cargo drops, and resources. If you look through your visor you can move your cursor over the different icons to see whatâs nearby. Resource deposits are where youâre going to find precious metals like Copper. In order to mine them, you have to have a terrain manipulator for your multi-tool, so you should also make that as soon as possible. Donât worryâ"it doesnât take rare resources to make that one.
Refine Elements
Some ingredients in craft recipes have to be refined before you can use them. This is where the Portable Refiner comes in. Youâll find it in your build menu, which you can find by pressing up on the directional pad if youâre playing on a console. From there, you need some carbon to fuel the refiner, and then you put, say, Copper on one end, and Chromatic Metal comes out the other. Chromatic Metal is one of the ingredi ents youâll need for Antimatter, and you make a Warp Cell by combining Antimatter and an Antimatter container. Itâs a good idea to stockpile Chromatic Metal, because youâll also be using it in other recipes, and the process of making it is a little tedious. You should also keep in mind that the Portable Refiner is portable, meaning you can put it back in your inventory when youâre done with it and place it somewhere else by going back to your build menu.

Recharge On The Go
Your other utilities, like your Mining Beam, Terrain Manipulator, and the shields on your ship will also need fueling. If youâre in the middle of a firefight or just donât want to go back to your menu screen, if you hit down on the directional pad, you can bring up a menu that allows you to recharge any of these things while youâ re still out in the world. Just scroll over to the symbol that looks like a battery, press up on the directional pad, and then select which item you want to refuel. This is handy if you get stuck in a fight and want to keep your shields up.

Upload Your Discoveries For Nanites
If youâre coveting any upgrades for your Exosuit or Multi-Tool, remember to upload all the flora and fauna youâre scanning on the planets. It used to be that when you uploaded these you got credits. Now your discoveries are exchanged for Nanite Clusters, which can be traded for blueprints for upgrades. You can find all your discoveries in the option menu. Scroll over to the Discoveries tab, make sure to check each planet youâve been on, and upload everything from the flora, fauna, and waypoints menus.
You Can Build Anywhere
The new planets youâre landing on can be toxic, nuclear or beset by constant boiling rain. If youâre too far from your ship or a st ructure to hide out in, you might want to build a base. In the latest update, you can build bases anywhere. You can also build bases quickly out of commonly-found Carbon if youâre in a rush.

If youâre a returning player, you should know that the process of claiming a spot for your base is a little bit different now as well. Instead of finding an abandoned base and claiming that structure, you need to build a Base Computer. You can find it in the same menu you as where you build the Portable Refiner, and youâll need Chromatic Metals to build it. Once you do build it and place it in the world, you can then make a base as extravagant as you desire.
