🛋️ 1. Build a Nanite Farm via Curious Deposits + Refining Runaway Mould

• Find a “Nanite Farm” planet via No Man’s Sky Coordinate Exchange or social media—these have clusters of Curious Deposits visible in your Analysis Visor (TheGamer, Esports News Network | ESTNN, High Ground Gaming).

• Teleport to a second location, far enough away to reset deposits.

• Mine Runaway Mould from those deposits, use a refiner, and every 5 mould = 1 Nanite Cluster (TheGamer, Esports News Network | ESTNN, High Ground Gaming).

• Fully AFK-able: Mine, teleport, refine.

Great yields over time, especially in player-shared farms.

⚙️ 2. Easy Early Game: Abandoned Buildings → Larval Cores

• Head to abandoned buildings with Whispering Egg nests.

• Break eggs → collect Larval Cores → refine them for ~50 Nanites each (Game Rant, Steam Community, Gamer Guides).

• You can set up a small base, drop store & teleporter near the nest, then repeat infinitely for passive income (Steam Community).

⚔️ 3. Grind Sentinels with Smart Efficiency

• Seek out Corrupted Sentinel planets.

• Kill waves of sentinel drones to get Glass Shards, Atlantideum, Pugneum, which all refine into Nanites.

• Special loot:

  • Hyaline Brains → ~260 Nanites each

  • Radiant Shards (from drills) → refine into more nanites (Steam Community, High Ground Gaming).

“One of the most efficient ways … is by killing Sentinel Interceptors and collecting their Hyaline Brain drops … worth 260 nanites” (Steam Community).
“Corrupted sentinel planets … Radiant shards refine to 50 nanites … cruise the surface picking those things off … Watch nanite count skyrocket.” (Steam Community)

Tip: Use a minotaur with heavy lasers to clear faster and AFK areas to reset threat.

🎒 4. Minimal-Effort Routine: Outlaw Station Packs

• Warp into Outlaw systems (scan galaxy for systems with a “skull” icon using Conflict/Economy Scanner).

• Dock at an Outlaw Station, buy Suspicious Tech and Weapon Packs, open them, then sell upgrade modules to the Salvage Dealer for nanites (4k+ per 10 packs!) (Steam Community, Game Rant, KosGames).

• Build teleporters at each station, then hop back and forth to refresh stocks, for a looping farm.

• Minimal effort: just buy → open → warp → sell → repeat.

🧪 5. Consistent Income: Upload Discoveries & Loot Buildings

• Scan flora, fauna, minerals on every planet you visit, then hit Discoveries → Upload All in menu to claim nanites (Gamer Guides, High Ground Gaming).

• Visit and interact with resource depots, manufactories, bunkers, and abandoned buildings—nanite clusters often spawn in terminals inside (Gamer Guides, Esports News Network | ESTNN).

🔁 Lazy Efficiency Comparison

✅ TL;DR – Max Laziness Nanites

1. Teleport between known Nanite Farm worlds, mine Runaway Mould + refine.

2. Or set up at abandoned building nests and clear Whispering Eggs.

3. Or cruise Corrupted Sentinel planets, farm obediently.

4. Or buy and recycle Suspicious Packs in Outlaw stations via teleport loop.

5. Bonus: Always scan fauna/flora + interact with buildings for passive nanites.
