Hello Games' No Man's Sky is an expansive and immersive sci-fi, open-world survival game that requires players to gather resources and build up their characters and ships to journey through the galaxy.

One of the most important resources in the game is Units, which is its form of money, and there are hundreds of items that players can buy. But in order to survive in space, you need to gather life-sustaining resources on top of Units.

No Man's Sky provides players with a variety of ways to make Units but arguably one of the best ways is to set up passive farms that can automate the process for you. In this article, we list some of the best methods for players to make a lot of money in the game.

Activated Indium Farm

Blue Star systems are home to Activated Indium and require an Indium drive to be installed on your starship to get to it.

After you have successfully located a hotspot using your analysis visor, you can set up four to five mineral extractors at the center, according to Sportskeeda.

They will then start gathering Activated Indium for you without you having to do anything. You only have to make sure that you set up an adequate power supply to keep them running for a long time.

NipNip Farm

In No Man's Sky, NipNip buds can be farmed in order to get NipNip that can be sold for 472,841 Units per stack of 10. These products can be grown in BioDomes, which can hold up to 12 NipNip plants.

If you set up multiple BioDomes, you will be able to yield a significant number of NipNips given some time. You can harvest NipNips six times every day and using six BioDomes, you can earn up to 36,314,910 Units daily.

Combat Farming

This method can be done after you get a batch of Cobalt and have you open up a Medium Refiner and process it into Ionised Cobalt. After this, you pick up the product and put it in one of the input slots, said PushSquare.

You then place Oxygen in the second slot and fire the machine up in order to multiply your supply of Ionised Cobalt six-fold. This process requires a lot of Oxygen, which means that you need to get as much of it as you can.

Farming Storm Crystals

Another way to make a lot of Units in No Man's Sky is by farming storm crystals and to do this, you need to find a planet with extreme storms and storm crystals. After you find one, you need to wait for a storm to occur and look for storm crystals on the surface.

Using the Minotaur Mech exocraft is the best way to collect storm crystals as it is immune to environmental hazards and you can get storm crystals without having to exit the vehicle, according to Ginx.
