🎯 Step 1: Trigger the Awakenings mission milestone
-
Continue following the main story (Awakenings) until you install the hyperdrive in your starship (No Man’s Sky Wiki, Gamepur).
-
Once installed, fly into space and scan for the fuel signal. This will create a waypoint to an Abandoned Building on a planet (No Man’s Sky Wiki, Gamepur).
🎯 Step 2: Visit the Abandoned Building
-
Land at the marked planet.
-
Enter the building and interact with the infested terminal, removing Residual Goop if needed (No Man’s Sky Wiki, Reddit).
-
Upon interaction, you’ll receive:
-
1 unit of Antimatter
-
The blueprint for Antimatter Housing (No Man’s Sky Wiki, Reddit)
-
(Some players report issues if inventory is full—keep a free slot or reload if items don’t appear) (Steam Community, Reddit).
🎯 Step 3: Craft Antimatter Housing (minimal grind)
-
Once you have the blueprint, you only need:
-
30 Oxygen
-
50 Ferrite Dust
-
-
These materials are super common—Oxygen from yellow foliage, Ferrite from rocks (nomansskyrecipe.com, Gamer Guides).
This costs practically nothing and crafts instantly.
💡 Lazy Alternatives if the Blueprint or Item Is Missing
-
Activate the main quest manually in your log screen (Awakenings or Alone Amongst the Stars)—this re‑triggers the waypoint if it disappeared (Steam Community, Reddit).
-
Buy it at minor settlements (planetary outposts) rather than Galactic Trade Terminals—standard terminals usually won’t stock it (Reddit, Reddit).
-
If still stuck, have a friend drop you one and then reload or warp; the blueprint often unlocks after acquiring or crafting the item (Reddit, Reddit).
📦 TL;DR: Maximum Laziness Workflow
| Step | Lazy Approach |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Finish hyperdrive, scan signal in space |
| Location | Go to abandoned building waypoint |
| Loot | Terminal gives Antimatter + Housing blueprint |
| Craft | Use 30 O₂ + 50 Ferrite Dust — instant |
| Backup | If missing, activate quest log, reload, or get from friend |
🧠 Community Tips
“If you have any other mission active, the waypoint may vanish—go to your Log and manually select the main quest to keep it active.” (Reddit)
“Red barrel containers often have housings, but require AtlasPass v1. Minor settlement vendors also stock them.” (Reddit, Reddit)
You’re good to go—with minimal effort, a few scans, and basic crafting you’ll have your Antimatter Housing ready to fuel your hyperdrive.
