@Bob Ross I followed this, found a good activated indium plannet. set all my stuff up on hotspots, finished the farm, wired up and found i was gathering magnetised ferrite :( lol idk why this happened, does the scanner indicate the hotspot material?
I have to give you almost all the credit for my progress. I've gone from having a B class shuttle and 300K units to having also an A class Hauler, S class Fighter, S class Freighter 4 frigates and still have 119 Million units left. Huge thank you for your videos.
Thanks for the videos! I’ve put almost sixty hours into the game so far but yet I didn’t know any of this stuff and was still barely scraping by until I found your channel. Your content helps a lot! I’m going to work on trying to get some of this stuff up and running and see how it changes the game for me. Keep up all the awesome work!
Thank you for your videos Jason my friends and I started No Man's Sky about a week ago! You're vids have helped save us from the countless hours of grinding to make money. Just bought my third frigate thanks to you!
Oh shit. I haven't been playing long so I didn't realize you could crash a commodity in a system by flooding the market. Good to know I should chill out a bit.
If you didn’t also know you can sometimes go a foot or two underground to squeeze the full percentage out of mines and flatten the entire surface with the terrain manipulator for a clean work space.
Great video, Jason! This is how I made it to the end stages of the game. I love my activated indium farm even though I don't really need it anymore. Something I like to do is stack the extractors directly on top of each other, either in a few big towers or in stacks of three in pretty lines. The reason is that you aren't moving too far away from the 100% (mine is also S class). I also stack the EMGs, and one of my projects today is going to be putting some strobe lights on the towers. With my current set-up, I just make stasis devices because I like to control my resources that way, but for the beginning, mining was the best thing I could have done. Again, great video! If any of you viewers see TallChewy in the Anomaly, lmk and I'll send you a stasis device if you want one.
A while ago someone gave me 5 stasis devices while I was on the Anomaly and I think it was TallChewy. I was pretty new to the game and had hardly any money. This allowed me to purchase my S Class hauler way sooner than I could have otherwise. So, Jeffrey Goodman, if this WAS you, then thanks! I almost have my own stasis device production endeavors in place and when I do, I will pay it forward for the next new players. Also, Thanks for the vids Jason!
Awesome video Jason! Big fan of your No Man's Sky content! This video really helped me understand how to make a farm like this. Can't wait to make it look as good as yours! :)
Perfect. Thank you, sir. One creative thought. You could have mined something on a more benign planet to show us how to set up a small system first. You know, no bugs better visibility, no dodging the elements. Just a thought. That might make it easier for you.
I could have, but wanted to show the best possible outcome. You can definitely do this with other elements on serene planets, like magnitised ferrite for sure
@@JasonPlaysNMS I think you missed the point of his comment. His idea was that you could setup a fake mineral farm on a planet where you won’t have any distractions so you can get detailed with how it works and the setup.
nice, just subbed. v helpful mate, as a noob player with about 30hrs of doing the first guided mission this is great... I understand grinding n dabbing as an ex-ARK survivor so thx for the heads up. peace
After setting up my mineral farm I played the “and Boom” drinking game take a shot every time Jason says ‘boom’ or 2 shots for ‘and boom... (note build first, drink after for enjoyed success). Great as always Jason thanks don’t stop!
Although Hello Games nerfed this farming method i can still recommend it, im at around 70 hours of playing nms and decided to make this farm yesterday, after just a few hours of searching and building i have 2800 activated indium per hour (which is around 60mln units per day if you have enough storage) with just 12 extractors at B level deposit and a couple of generators. For me this is more than enough money to enjoy the game without constantly grinding for it. So, yeah.. Those numbers are not even close to this farm from more than a year ago, but is still very efficient for newer players, I also heard that you can bypass the nerf by bulding small farms and not connecting them to each other, but with my current setup i can't say if that's true or not.
Yes Jason! Thank you man!I been visiting a farm every few days from NMSCE but il definitely use this video on 1 of my bases, or maybe all of them I have I few days off work 😁
Dayum, son! The cash is real!!!! Also...WAY BETTER VIDEO than some other dude that bored me half to sleep with technical terms in a monotone and annoying voice. Keep it up, dude! Love your vids....and also...your voice kinda reminds me of that dude (Ray Romano) in "Everybody loves Raymond"
Pretty easy to get. Salvage data can be farmed in the first few hours and the nanite isnt hard either when you know where to look. I just started a new permadeath playtrough last week and im 20 hours in now and i got that stuff after the first 10 hours.
Reel Beenz talk to Helios and the npc across from him on the space anomaly. Go to space station rooms and alien rooms and go the things that give you free nanites and you can get some from broken technology
I know this video is old and you probably won't see this, but thank you so much for making this and all the other videos that help new players like me!
I got tired of 'Terrain Creep' on my early mines after flattening areas of land and having the ground grow back!. I now do the minimum clearing to get the extractors running and build platforms suspended in air for solar electricity and storage :-)
Steve Smith okay so terrain does still come back... bummer. Could you add terrain instead of subtracting it? Or does everything terrain related eventually go back to its original form?
@@NaughtyShepherd It seems to prefer bugging out over pre-existing terrain. I've added terrain outside of the perimeter of pre-existing terrain and that seems to stay.
@@NaughtyShepherd no it's just a glitch. My base is built in manipulated terrain so whenever I come back appears to have grown back for a little bit. Bit annoying but I'm pretty sure they're working on fixing it.
Started my first adventure into the world of NMS mining yesterday, I wish I saw this video beforehand. Also, thank you for making me realise that there was a "build cam" that I could use, and that you could stop a wire halfway and link another to the end to continue it. Thanks for the tips!
Welcome traveler! Jason makes good content for people starting out. I watched alot when myself and my missus started playing. Helped a ton. The game is actually great if you enjoy a chill minecraft style game in space with some actual decent writing.
I’m on a planet where I thought I couldn’t put my extractor at then I realized it’s just the colour of the planet makes everything look different so green is red and red is green lmao unless I gotta stop smoking 🤣
I just really get started I have decide to play as explorer. Your channel is fantastic with lots of good info. You ship glitch is fantastic finally got a sweet fighter and 15M units. I can travel comfortably
@@S_F417 exactly. Each time you build one it extends the "dome" limit of your base (originally 300u) near whatever you built outside of the limit. However, breaking the base limit only goes to 1000u so that's as high as you can build vertically.
Nice work with this. I build two class B Activated Indium with 5X5 mineral extractor and 10X4 plus one more inside of my base because I find it in a very stormy planet and like this way I don't need go out. And use only solar plants without batteries.(4 plants per extractor, but they can run only with 3) Its Much cheaper and only need put them up of the extractors They made me 100.000.000 cedits in 24 hours. With this, if you are a explorer have too much like you need. Anyway, they have a huge problem all bunch of iridium. The trade stations arround you when trade them, collapse about a week. Its a part you can talk about someday. Nice video. See you in the stars.
Sell your resources to ship pilots not to the galactic trade terminals. Selling to the ship pilots won't cause your market to crash but you also can't buy back your material so keep that in mind if you like to buy back your goods.
@@valenesco45 well haulers and some ships don´t have too much space inside. And I need a huge amount of ferrite dust to finish one of my creations. I´m building a real scale roman domus in one of my founded pacific planets ( with mosaics too, its pretty cool), and I need make bases to all of the people what want see or stay my registred pacifc planets ( now are 35 and growing).
@@jhihanseth wow that's a big and crazy project, I'm sure it's gonna look awesome. Don't forget to share your coords when you finish, I hope they fix the multiplayer issue soon so I can come and see how it's made.
Also a sclass mineral deposit is the most common hotspot out of the three s class hotspots, and gas being the rarest. IIRC s class mineral is a 8% chance, and it could a stellar metal (indium, emeril, cadmium, and copper), plantery element (phosphorous, pyrite, dioxde, etc.) or magnetized ferrite and cobalt. TL;DR, aa sclass mineral deposit is the most common, and s class gas deposit is rarest. and the mineral deposit have a 1/3 chance of being an activated idium hotspot.
I've found S class hotspots before but, it was never something I wanted. I did find an A class mineral hotspot approx 300 u from an S class electrical hotspot. I finally decided to look for an oxygen hotspot and it turns out there was a C class in the same area.
It's was pretty rough finding a S Class activated Indium deposit, that's for sure. Feels like you do get more mineral deposits vs gas, but hard to find the perfect deposit
@@JasonPlaysNMS I know it's not perfect but, I found an A class silver hotspot and around 300 u away there was an S class electromagnetic hot spot. When I checked later I found a C class Oxygen hot spot actually closer to power. BTW the layout on those extractors looks good. Also, I have the extractors at the silver mine on wooden floor panels and they seem to work fine.
Did you know you can choose the vertical location of the hotspot? The highest concentration point appears wherever your retilcle is when you finish the final scanning for the hotspot, if you want it to be below ground to hide your mining equipment, just dig a hole when you're withing 6 meters (before it starts scanning) then when you scan make sure you're in the bottom of your hole when you finish the scan. The dot will appear wherever your reticle is when you complete the scan, so you can Have everything buried if you want or everything way up in the sky.
That location will move with the lowest point on ground. You can terraform up or down, flatten it, or whatever. That location won't and cannot be changed. Its just a giant cylindrical shaped allowing you to stack layers and recieve the same yield on each layer
For anyone watching this, if you need nanites, go into the ‘Discoveries’ tab and select the ‘Upload All’ arrow. It skips the rename and upload process and it gave me 3,000 nanites earlier!
Nice setup! I saw a S Silver farm the other night and they did something I thought a smart idea. They somehow arranged their storage containers so that they (or visitors) could pull silver from one "line" instead of doing a full on pull out of all silver. As a visitor, I appreciated the note to go offline if taking all resources so as not to interrupt their production. As a new player, I appreciated the note AND the sliver. Pretty cool of them!
I didn't put down too many extractors but I put down a whole load of supply depots so I get a max "harvest" of 215k Activated Indium at a time and it takes 8 hours to fill. Everytime I get bored, I put down another platform of 6x8 Supply Depots lol.
Yes, unless you're visiting the farm every couple of hours, there's no point in putting down more than a few extractors... just put down loads of depots for when you return a day or three later.
Right now my mining operation is producing roughly 42000 an hour, I'm just working on building up the storage so that it can hold up to 10 hours of material at once.
Should I build more depots atm? I got like 2k an hour atm and can hold about 12k indium right now, usually sleep about 5-6 hours and gone for work about 10
Hey man, I started playing this monday lol and I loved your content. I'd like to know if is there anything I can dismantle to make iridium as we do with cadmium?
Hey great video man, even if it has been nerfed. Good way for new players like myself to see how to set this stuff up without having any questions unanswered
I found my first Activated Iridium S class deposit the other day. It was on the side of this mountain so steep the only way to go up was using the jetpack, and the planet is just jam packed with what are basically Mount Everest sized mountains over and over. So as some of you reading this know, activated metals are always on stormy planets. So here I am fighting this torrential downpour as I'm constructing a mining tower, just minding my own business, and the words "Wind event" flashes across my screen. I thought...ok...so? Fair warning. If you see those words get inside something immediately. A building, inside your ship, dig a deep hole and jump into it if you have to. Basically a tornado snatches me off the ground, then proceeds to spin me in circles, while beating my ass against the ground over and over again until I was dead. I was a piece of tissue paper in a wind tunnel lol.
@@kennethaguilar3778 legit jaw dropper. Even as uber-powered as my character is now, I still hide in terror anytime "Wind Event" shows on my visor lol.
@@toddmiller5322 hahaha, storms can be powerful, my planet is radioactive you can't survive 30 secs if you don't have uranium. I don't like the burning planets something doesn't feel right
A tip for farm efficiency is to have large groups of extractors separated. I made a oxygen farm with 245 extractors. When they were all connected they made 3145 an hour. When I separated them into 5 groups together they made 11450 an hour.
It’s sad to see this be nerfed so hard. Considering the work you have to do, they should just make this among the best money making methods in the game in my opinion. It’s cool, legit and fun. But no, you’re better off buying and selling chlorine or do some of the other glitches in the game. I still have a few farms, because they’re just fun and satisfying.
fax, i still look for farms even though u can get scanners that get u half a mill per scan for the fauna and animals, the chlorine method is cheesed as hell, and making a farm for activated indium is a shit show finding an energy source and a right location and trying not to die from the storms that always occur on the activated indium planets
Great videos Jason, keep up the good work. Though you can't stack your extractors you can still build a platform over the previous ones and lay more extractors. I've been doing this for a while now.
I think the Galactic Trade Terminals at Trading Posts do not affect the System's Economy, as well. Although, I am not 💯% certain. So, definitely check first before giving me a Thumbs Down. 🙃
Miners can go on metal floors 4 per plate and can go vertically, EMP can go vertical in a tower. Electric wires go 200u per length. you can build 300u from base computer 360° around. You can extent this out 50u at a go by building walls or metal archs as pylons up to 800u from base computer. You can reload and put wire in at a later date but Supply pipe needs to be installed all in one go if bring pipe from main Depot to supply tank near base.
Great video! I'll be focusing on stuff like that in a bit! But I'm making like 25 mil units in 5-10 Minutes at the moment with trading, which is awesome :)
@@idengager4517 The key is cobalt ;) And a lot of trading! You can easily start that from the beginning of the game. How much money do you have at the moment?
I always make a building for the storage containers to go inside for a cleaner look. Also a power switch for the mineral extractors is nice. That way you can stop the ground from shaking if you ever want to add or change things later, I’m also pretty anal about making sure the supply pipes are all underground and out of site.
Personally I build platforms for the storage (either out of floors or foundations) but not whole enclosures. I kind of like the way a bunch of storage silos look next to my base.
Closest between power and metal i found so far is 584u. Bases are wide enough for that which really surprised me. I built a series of teleporter that take me from one end to the other in like 3 sec :) Teleporters range is 35 big floor pieces. I learned lots of new things because of your vids, thx
Nice Video. If I remember correctly HG made it so you can place on floor tiles. I do know that the Supply Pipe now acts just like the Electric Wire, meaning you don't have to make it all in 1 go, you can start/stop and change direction.
Torgo63 did you build inside an existing cave or make it through terrain manipulation? I saw a video (not sure how old) where removing terrain is only temporary, eventually it’ll fill back in. Don’t know if that was patch fixed though...
I drilled straight down to bedrock, and searched for the resources once down there. I built a room with a teleporter, terminal, etc to get materials. Once done, I built a surface building with an elevated landing pad, and connected the base teleport there. Yes, there is the fill in problem, but so far it hasn't ever filled in the subterranean room. So, I can just excavate to my supply tanks when needed. It's no big deal to excavate to the supply tanks, at least not enough to motivate me to connect the supply to surface tanks.
I'm happy with 5 refiners doing the Oxygen/chlorine shuffle you showed me. Made half a billion in a couple days. Now I gotta figure out what to spend it on. I already have 5 ships, a freighter, all my frigates, etc.
Cobalt stacks take up a lot of room and even with a 47/21 fighter and full cargo suit slots, I always need MORE storage. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve gotten over 1b units to date on cobalt, but looking to start an AI mine. Appears a lot faster and easier once it’s setup. Plus I love building mining farms! Have copper, which is great, and silver, which is unnecessary, but it was there. I suppose I could refine Nanites.
jack horan I think you can get them from attacking freighters cargo pods. If you look at them, it should say what is in them. Shoot the ones that say salvaged frigate modules.
you can also get them by looting crashed freighters, that you can find thanks to maps exchanged for navigation data by any active space station's cartographer
Gather or make 50k of chlorine. Only sell it at stations that sell chlorine. Sell for 50 million and then buy back for 12-18 million. Rinse and repeat. In a couple hours you'll have close to 1 billion in units
Not sure if people know or im late but both the EM generators AND the extractor can be placed above ground as in on top of level floors in the area of the material and still extract. So if your ground is shitty and not flat you can make buildings and place the extractors and generator on wood floors upon floors and still yield the items.
@@JasonPlaysNMS haha I was on exact same looking planet mate and had to leave as every few steps I took they just appeared attacking....one question for you as I only just came back to the game is when predators attacked you and you killed them the sentinels never attacked but now they do, why was that changed?..and the new pilots with crashed ships is driving me insane lol...good vids s usual mate.
Normal indiu sells at half of the price of activated indium, so it's less efficient but easier to build, because it does not need to be located on an extreme planet.
@@JasonPlaysNMS I wasn't going to start an oxygen farm because I kept enough buying it at space stations. It turned out I had a C class Oxygen hotspot at another mine I had started. It's not high output but, it keeps me enough for my uses.
@@JasonPlaysNMS Uh my activated indium farm maybe glitching or maybe not but It seems like no matter how many stacks of 2500 I take out of my silo I still have more. I've taken out 1Billion units worth of Indium out of this one in the past hour and it's still full. Is it a glitch?
I know this video is a year old byt the UI change is drastic sheesh. Tried to farm cadnium today. So much went wrong but i got going i hope, and will ve checking it when i get off work. This guide is so helpful even now. Thank you
5:40 - If you are too far away from a deposit listen to the noise made by the survey scanner (beyond 400U ), just listen to the sound your device makes when you notice the noise change pitch, just head in that direction and you're almost guaranteed to find the deposit it you go by sound.
It will still produce but be careful. Sometimes it will just disappear because the game is a bit glitchy about remembering what you have going on when it saves.
Man thanks for the info I'll probably make a smaller version the thing is is dude I was in tears laughing my ass off in the beginning about the crabs and the the creatures coming at you because I found a hostile planet so I feel you dude that was great I was having a rough day I needed a good laugh thanks I know this videos a little old but I'm new to the game and the videos new to me so appreciate you God bless you and hope you have a great day
@@JasonPlaysNMS I used to buy ferrite dust at every opportunity but it was never enough. Some stations would have 4k, some would have less than 500 dust
@@TayNez63 best off buying metal plating not dust since this is the most common use for ferrite, say a T3 station has 4.5k ferrite that's 90 plating, and a lot of crafting, but buying plating directly may give you up to 150 from one station. It uses lots of storage but with a half decent freighter or starship this isn't too much of a problem
@@jamieturner6835 I mean personally, I will buy both metal plating and ferrite dust. A stack of ferrite dust in normal saves produces 199 (pretty much 200) metal plates. So if you're looking for the bang for your inventory slot, ferrite dust is way better. But that's pretty much only for normal saves.
They can take it from silos and harvest your farm. But only if you upload your base, I honestly don't mind if somebody stumbles upon my living glass farm and uses it.
@@liverpoololdschool don't worry about it, like previously said they can take from silos and harvest plants but most people wouldn't bother anyway, and if you are anywhere except towards the centre of a galaxy or the galactic hub then you probably will never have anyone find your base anyway, the galaxy is huge
Got a class A deposit pretty close to my base on the planet, didn’t know these farms existed but already had a base on a storm planet since I originally farmed storm crystals.
@@tomu6859 you mine/buy all the cobalt you can, sell to station then buy it all back around -80% so it's cheaper, I made about 50mil per jump which is around 30 seconds to 1 minute. I did this while looking for travelers and upgrading my storage
Great videos really helpful to someone who's just starting out in no mans sky .. i have it cause of xbox gamepass and kinda upset I never played sooner
You can get this going even early game if you do enough of the Nexus missions at the Anomaly. Because the Anomaly automatically warps your ship to the target system, you will eventually find yourself in Red star systems even without an upgraded hyperdrive. When you arrive in a system, just scan all the planets for activated indium. As long as you build a base in the system, or at least go to the Starbase and activate the warp gate before you complete the mission, you can come back at your convenience to set up your mining base.
ATTENTION ALL NEW WATCHERS: This method has recently been HEAVILY nerfed
@Bob Ross I followed this, found a good activated indium plannet. set all my stuff up on hotspots, finished the farm, wired up and found i was gathering magnetised ferrite :( lol
idk why this happened, does the scanner indicate the hotspot material?
I see it now XD didnt notice that
How did they nerf it? Just lower the yield or what? Is it still worth doing if you add more extractors
How was it nerfed
the more extractors you connect to the collection lines the less it will generate
Can we all have a moment of respect for the only one willing to genuinely help new players rather than click baiting for views
where is Bob then? He made bunch of videos and explained them perfectly

Great video, Jason! This is how I made it to the end stages of the game. I love my activated indium farm even though I don't really need it anymore. Something I like to do is stack the extractors directly on top of each other, either in a few big towers or in stacks of three in pretty lines. The reason is that you aren't moving too far away from the 100% (mine is also S class). I also stack the EMGs, and one of my projects today is going to be putting some strobe lights on the towers. With my current set-up, I just make stasis devices because I like to control my resources that way, but for the beginning, mining was the best thing I could have done. Again, great video! If any of you viewers see TallChewy in the Anomaly, lmk and I'll send you a stasis device if you want one.
How do you stack the extractors? I play on Steam and am having a heck of a time trying to stack them straight.
@@adambfree on PC you can use external programs, but I don't. One thing you can do is use walls to keep them straight and then just delete the walls.
A while ago someone gave me 5 stasis devices while I was on the Anomaly and I think it was TallChewy. I was pretty new to the game and had hardly any money. This allowed me to purchase my S Class hauler way sooner than I could have otherwise. So, Jeffrey Goodman, if this WAS you, then thanks!

Right at the end there, it momentarily looked like your character was actually doing the speaking! :)
Jason, you are hilarious… love your videos.. not only are they informative but you make them interesting. Thank you!
LMAO your reaction to the crabs 🦀 made me LOL 😆
After setting up my mineral farm I played the “and Boom” drinking game take a shot every time Jason says ‘boom’ or 2 shots for ‘and boom...
(note build first, drink after for enjoyed success). Great as always Jason thanks don’t stop!
Love ur videos they always seem to be so helpful 👌😀👍. Great job
Well thank you!
This was a really good video, thank you. Very noobie friendly explained, I like that you explained every aspect of the process start to finish.
You can put the extractors on floor panels and they will still pull stuff in.
Although Hello Games nerfed this farming method i can still recommend it, im at around 70 hours of playing nms and decided to make this farm yesterday, after just a few hours of searching and building i have 2800 activated indium per hour (which is around 60mln units per day if you have enough storage) with just 12 extractors at B level deposit and a couple of generators. For me this is more than enough money to enjoy the game without constantly grinding for it.
So, yeah.. Those numbers are not even close to this farm from more than a year ago, but is still very efficient for newer players, I also heard that you can bypass the nerf by bulding small farms and not connecting them to each other, but with my current setup i can't say if that's true or not.
Yes Jason! Thank you man!I been visiting a farm every few days from NMSCE but il definitely use this video on 1 of my bases, or maybe all of them I have I few days off work 😁
Yeah!
Dayum, son! The cash is real!!!! Also...WAY BETTER VIDEO than some other dude that bored me half to sleep with technical terms in a monotone and annoying voice. Keep it up, dude! Love your vids....and also...your voice kinda reminds me of that dude (Ray Romano) in "Everybody loves Raymond"
“Very endgame thing” requires like 40 salvaged data and 2,000 nanites
Pretty easy to get. Salvage data can be farmed in the first few hours and the nanite isnt hard either when you know where to look.
I just started a new permadeath playtrough last week and im 20 hours in now and i got that stuff after the first 10 hours.
Damn it costs that much. I have got it but i didnt realise it was that expensive for indium drive
Reel Beenz no it costs like 400 but you have to get the other drives first
How i got that much idk
Reel Beenz talk to Helios and the npc across from him on the space anomaly. Go to space station rooms and alien rooms and go the things that give you free nanites and you can get some from broken technology
I know this video is old and you probably won't see this, but thank you so much for making this and all the other videos that help new players like me!
I got tired of 'Terrain Creep' on my early mines after flattening areas of land and having the ground grow back!. I now do the minimum clearing to get the extractors running and build platforms suspended in air for solar electricity and storage :-)
Steve Smith okay so terrain does still come back... bummer. Could you add terrain instead of subtracting it? Or does everything terrain related eventually go back to its original form?
@@NaughtyShepherd It seems to prefer bugging out over pre-existing terrain. I've added terrain outside of the perimeter of pre-existing terrain and that seems to stay.
@@NaughtyShepherd no it's just a glitch. My base is built in manipulated terrain so whenever I come back appears to have grown back for a little bit. Bit annoying but I'm pretty sure they're working on fixing it.
Started my first adventure into the world of NMS mining yesterday, I wish I saw this video beforehand. Also, thank you for making me realise that there was a "build cam" that I could use, and that you could stop a wire halfway and link another to the end to continue it. Thanks for the tips!
Welcome traveler! Jason makes good content for people starting out. I watched alot when myself and my missus started playing. Helped a ton. The game is actually great if you enjoy a chill minecraft style game in space with some actual decent writing.
"Jason keeps his rage in check while he builds an Indium Farm"
Excellent tip!
I invested ~10M in materials and now I'm collecting over 100M each night when I load my game!!
I’m on a planet where I thought I couldn’t put my extractor at then I realized it’s just the colour of the planet makes everything look different so green is red and red is green lmao unless I gotta stop smoking 🤣
Nah bro psychoactives hit different when you play this game I 100% get what you saying.
I just really get started I have decide to play as explorer. Your channel is fantastic with lots of good info. You ship glitch is fantastic finally got a sweet fighter and 15M units. I can travel comfortably
If you really want the maximum output, you can just make a 1x1 tower into space, on the center of the hotspot.
you can do the same thin with silos, to save some space and some supply pipes
It doesn't lose efficiency the farther you get from the surface?
No, it's like a cylinder into space, I think it stops at 1000u though.
@@JasonPlaysNMS pretty sure its a column that goes to infinity. not certain
@@S_F417 exactly. Each time you build one it extends the "dome" limit of your base (originally 300u) near whatever you built outside of the limit. However, breaking the base limit only goes to 1000u so that's as high as you can build vertically.
Nice work with this.
I build two class B Activated Indium with 5X5 mineral extractor and 10X4 plus one more inside of my base because I find it in a very stormy planet and like this way I don't need go out. And use only solar plants without batteries.(4 plants per extractor, but they can run only with 3)
Its Much cheaper and only need put them up of the extractors
They made me 100.000.000 cedits in 24 hours.
With this, if you are a explorer have too much like you need.
Anyway, they have a huge problem all bunch of iridium.
The trade stations arround you when trade them, collapse about a week.
Its a part you can talk about someday.
Nice video. See you in the stars.
Sell your resources to ship pilots not to the galactic trade terminals. Selling to the ship pilots won't cause your market to crash but you also can't buy back your material so keep that in mind if you like to buy back your goods.

Also a sclass mineral deposit is the most common hotspot out of the three s class hotspots, and gas being the rarest. IIRC s class mineral is a 8% chance, and it could a stellar metal (indium, emeril, cadmium, and copper), plantery element (phosphorous, pyrite, dioxde, etc.) or magnetized ferrite and cobalt.
TL;DR, aa sclass mineral deposit is the most common, and s class gas deposit is rarest. and the mineral deposit have a 1/3 chance of being an activated idium hotspot.
I've found S class hotspots before but, it was never something I wanted. I did find an A class mineral hotspot approx 300 u from an S class electrical hotspot. I finally decided to look for an oxygen hotspot and it turns out there was a C class in the same area.
Yeah, that happens to me too, I founda s class mineral deposit, ut it was pyrite instead of ai.
It's was pretty rough finding a S Class activated Indium deposit, that's for sure. Feels like you do get more mineral deposits vs gas, but hard to find the perfect deposit
@@JasonPlaysNMS I know it's not perfect but, I found an A class silver hotspot and around 300 u away there was an S class electromagnetic hot spot. When I checked later I found a C class Oxygen hot spot actually closer to power. BTW the layout on those extractors looks good. Also, I have the extractors at the silver mine on wooden floor panels and they seem to work fine.
I found an Earth like planet with an S class electromagnetic spot and an A class activated indium one really close to where I landed, im really happy
This was the one. I'm now subscribed and you keep giving me good NMS content. Thank you. I really appreciate you walking me through this process.
Did you know you can choose the vertical location of the hotspot? The highest concentration point appears wherever your retilcle is when you finish the final scanning for the hotspot, if you want it to be below ground to hide your mining equipment, just dig a hole when you're withing 6 meters (before it starts scanning) then when you scan make sure you're in the bottom of your hole when you finish the scan. The dot will appear wherever your reticle is when you complete the scan, so you can Have everything buried if you want or everything way up in the sky.
Thats a need tip!Thanks👍
That is awesome! I didn't know that
That just determines where the icon is, not where the highest concentration is... especially since concentrations are pillars, not orbs.
That location will move with the lowest point on ground. You can terraform up or down, flatten it, or whatever. That location won't and cannot be changed. Its just a giant cylindrical shaped allowing you to stack layers and recieve the same yield on each layer
Dang it!
This is insane much respect, man I loved the whole set up.
For anyone watching this, if you need nanites, go into the ‘Discoveries’ tab and select the ‘Upload All’ arrow. It skips the rename and upload process and it gave me 3,000 nanites earlier!
Nice setup! I saw a S Silver farm the other night and they did something I thought a smart idea. They somehow arranged their storage containers so that they (or visitors) could pull silver from one "line" instead of doing a full on pull out of all silver. As a visitor, I appreciated the note to go offline if taking all resources so as not to interrupt their production. As a new player, I appreciated the note AND the sliver. Pretty cool of them!
I didn't put down too many extractors but I put down a whole load of supply depots so I get a max "harvest" of 215k Activated Indium at a time and it takes 8 hours to fill. Everytime I get bored, I put down another platform of 6x8 Supply Depots lol.
Yes, unless you're visiting the farm every couple of hours, there's no point in putting down more than a few extractors... just put down loads of depots for when you return a day or three later.
Thx for making a tutorial for new players, not for those who knows how all mechanics and systems works in the game.
Right now my mining operation is producing roughly 42000 an hour, I'm just working on building up the storage so that it can hold up to 10 hours of material at once.
Should I build more depots atm? I got like 2k an hour atm and can hold about 12k indium right now, usually sleep about 5-6 hours and gone for work about 10
@@Dr_Snakez_2224 i always recommend you do if you can, you'll make back the cost super fast.
Omg I couldn't stop laughing watching your video being sabotaged by xenomorphs randomly attacking, your reaction is priceless great video Jason :)
Hey man, I started playing this monday lol and I loved your content. I'd like to know if is there anything I can dismantle to make iridium as we do with cadmium?
Hey great video man, even if it has been nerfed. Good way for new players like myself to see how to set this stuff up without having any questions unanswered
I found my first Activated Iridium S class deposit the other day. It was on the side of this mountain so steep the only way to go up was using the jetpack, and the planet is just jam packed with what are basically Mount Everest sized mountains over and over.
So as some of you reading this know, activated metals are always on stormy planets. So here I am fighting this torrential downpour as I'm constructing a mining tower, just minding my own business, and the words "Wind event" flashes across my screen. I thought...ok...so?
Fair warning. If you see those words get inside something immediately. A building, inside your ship, dig a deep hole and jump into it if you have to. Basically a tornado snatches me off the ground, then proceeds to spin me in circles, while beating my ass against the ground over and over again until I was dead. I was a piece of tissue paper in a wind tunnel lol.
I'm dying hahahahahhaa 🤣🤣🤣
@@kennethaguilar3778 legit jaw dropper. Even as uber-powered as my character is now, I still hide in terror anytime "Wind Event" shows on my visor lol.
@@toddmiller5322 hahaha, storms can be powerful, my planet is radioactive you can't survive 30 secs if you don't have uranium. I don't like the burning planets something doesn't feel right
A tip for farm efficiency is to have large groups of extractors separated. I made a oxygen farm with 245 extractors. When they were all connected they made 3145 an hour. When I separated them into 5 groups together they made 11450 an hour.
It’s sad to see this be nerfed so hard. Considering the work you have to do, they should just make this among the best money making methods in the game in my opinion. It’s cool, legit and fun. But no, you’re better off buying and selling chlorine or do some of the other glitches in the game. I still have a few farms, because they’re just fun and satisfying.
fax, i still look for farms even though u can get scanners that get u half a mill per scan for the fauna and animals, the chlorine method is cheesed as hell, and making a farm for activated indium is a shit show finding an energy source and a right location and trying not to die from the storms that always occur on the activated indium planets
9:49 perfectly cut!😂😂 love it
Wow! Your doing good!!! :D
Well thank you!
Great videos Jason, keep up the good work. Though you can't stack your extractors you can still build a platform over the previous ones and lay more extractors. I've been doing this for a while now.
you should mention that every time you sell the stuff, the market in the sell-system crashed and is down for... 3 days?
sell to ship pilots, rather than the galactic market.
@@gwouru Yep
@@gwouru did not know that there is no connection, thanks for the hint
I think the Galactic Trade Terminals at Trading Posts do not affect the System's Economy, as well.
Although, I am not 💯% certain. So, definitely check first before giving me a Thumbs Down. 🙃
Sell to pilots, build trade terminals in your bases, have several bases you can teleport between. Plenty of ways around crashing a system's economy.
Miners can go on metal floors 4 per plate and can go vertically, EMP can go vertical in a tower. Electric wires go 200u per length. you can build 300u from base computer 360° around. You can extent this out 50u at a go by building walls or metal archs as pylons up to 800u from base computer. You can reload and put wire in at a later date but Supply pipe needs to be installed all in one go if bring pipe from main Depot to supply tank near base.

I always make a building for the storage containers to go inside for a cleaner look. Also a power switch for the mineral extractors is nice. That way you can stop the ground from shaking if you ever want to add or change things later, I’m also pretty anal about making sure the supply pipes are all underground and out of site.
Personally I build platforms for the storage (either out of floors or foundations) but not whole enclosures. I kind of like the way a bunch of storage silos look next to my base.
Closest between power and metal i found so far is 584u. Bases are wide enough for that which really surprised me. I built a series of teleporter that take me from one end to the other in like 3 sec :) Teleporters range is 35 big floor pieces. I learned lots of new things because of your vids, thx
How does he hold so much material in one exo suit slot
Nice Video. If I remember correctly HG made it so you can place on floor tiles. I do know that the Supply Pipe now acts just like the Electric Wire, meaning you don't have to make it all in 1 go, you can start/stop and change direction.
I built a base like this a while back, but completely underground. No radiation or annoying predators to worry about.
Torgo63 did you build inside an existing cave or make it through terrain manipulation? I saw a video (not sure how old) where removing terrain is only temporary, eventually it’ll fill back in. Don’t know if that was patch fixed though...
I drilled straight down to bedrock, and searched for the resources once down there. I built a room with a teleporter, terminal, etc to get materials. Once done, I built a surface building with an elevated landing pad, and connected the base teleport there. Yes, there is the fill in problem, but so far it hasn't ever filled in the subterranean room. So, I can just excavate to my supply tanks when needed. It's no big deal to excavate to the supply tanks, at least not enough to motivate me to connect the supply to surface tanks.
I'm happy with 5 refiners doing the Oxygen/chlorine shuffle you showed me. Made half a billion in a couple days. Now I gotta figure out what to spend it on. I already have 5 ships, a freighter, all my frigates, etc.
Make 50 mil a hour. I make that in a few mins selling cobalt and buying it back. Crash on system then onto the next.
Same. Wasnt paying too much attention to the title, but it piqued my curiosity
do the markets reset for you? or do you travel from system to system?
Cobalt stacks take up a lot of room and even with a 47/21 fighter and full cargo suit slots, I always need MORE storage. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve gotten over 1b units to date on cobalt, but looking to start an AI mine. Appears a lot faster and easier once it’s setup. Plus I love building mining farms! Have copper, which is great, and silver, which is unnecessary, but it was there. I suppose I could refine Nanites.
They patched this
thank you
can you do a video on how to get salvaged frigate modules
jack horan I think you can get them from attacking freighters cargo pods. If you look at them, it should say what is in them. Shoot the ones that say salvaged frigate modules.
You can definitely do that, but you become a space pirate! You can get them from missions as well

@@robertshufflebottom8727 thanks for the help

I’ve already got almost $100M from scanning with S class scanning modules. I have no place to call home
Yep, playing the game can be the best way to get money which is really cool.
Gather or make 50k of chlorine. Only sell it at stations that sell chlorine. Sell for 50 million and then buy back for 12-18 million. Rinse and repeat. In a couple hours you'll have close to 1 billion in units
*Disclaimer- No crabs were harmed during the filming of this video.
you know if this farm still works?
Not sure if people know or im late but both the EM generators AND the extractor can be placed above ground as in on top of level floors in the area of the material and still extract. So if your ground is shitty and not flat you can make buildings and place the extractors and generator on wood floors upon floors and still yield the items.
Those crabs are annoying as hell

Normal indiu sells at half of the price of activated indium, so it's less efficient but easier to build, because it does not need to be located on an extreme planet.

5:40 - If you are too far away from a deposit listen to the noise made by the survey scanner (beyond 400U ), just listen to the sound your device makes when you notice the noise change pitch, just head in that direction and you're almost guaranteed to find the deposit it you go by sound.
Does it still produce even when I'm not in the game or when I'm log out? Or it just stop producing when I stop playing?
It will still produce but be careful. Sometimes it will just disappear because the game is a bit glitchy about remembering what you have going on when it saves.
Jason Plays the whole farm disappears ?!
Toby_05 only if you don’t save it just hop in and out of your ship constantly or build a save point

Create a small farm for any material you use a lot. 10k per hour is small and all you need.
I made a rusted metal farm for all the ferrite dust I need making these farms
Very true, but if you have a money farm then you can buy the materials needed from stations and trade platforms.
@@JasonPlaysNMS I used to buy ferrite dust at every opportunity but it was never enough. Some stations would have 4k, some would have less than 500 dust
@@TayNez63 best off buying metal plating not dust since this is the most common use for ferrite, say a T3 station has 4.5k ferrite that's 90 plating, and a lot of crafting, but buying plating directly may give you up to 150 from one station. It uses lots of storage but with a half decent freighter or starship this isn't too much of a problem
@@jamieturner6835 I mean personally, I will buy both metal plating and ferrite dust. A stack of ferrite dust in normal saves produces 199 (pretty much 200) metal plates. So if you're looking for the bang for your inventory slot, ferrite dust is way better. But that's pretty much only for normal saves.

@@liverpoololdschool don't worry about it, like previously said they can take from silos and harvest plants but most people wouldn't bother anyway, and if you are anywhere except towards the centre of a galaxy or the galactic hub then you probably will never have anyone find your base anyway, the galaxy is huge

You can get this going even early game if you do enough of the Nexus missions at the Anomaly. Because the Anomaly automatically warps your ship to the target system, you will eventually find yourself in Red star systems even without an upgraded hyperdrive. When you arrive in a system, just scan all the planets for activated indium. As long as you build a base in the system, or at least go to the Starbase and activate the warp gate before you complete the mission, you can come back at your convenience to set up your mining base.
