The other comment I considered was, "Call me back when you move the decimal place three more to the right and I'll give you some help. There will be a 10% sur charge..."
Buy resources (not batteries) to refill your ship and suit, in huge packs to never bother about collecting resources to survive again. Also buy upgrades for your suit on each station you visit
At this point, stock up on materials. Elements, Minerals, crafted tech - like Wiring Looms - as many fellows here said. Then build a couple of Activated Indium farms, so you can make the real money. And then you can indulge on the expensive hobby of buying and scrapping S-class starships for Starship Storage Augmentations and nice S-class Upgrade Modules, which you can then sell for Nanites!
Upgrade your scanner like some mentioned, when you find a station that has an S class scanner. Buy it, install it, jump into your ship. Jump out for the auto save and then reload that auto save. You'll be able to go to that same merchant and buy another one. Do this same method until you have all the ones you need. If you want more money look for folks with indium or active indium farms, when I'm low on cash I jump to a few and sell what I can carry. Easily 200 million in cash for 5 minutes lol. Rinse and repeat when you need cash.
Don’t spend any money on ferrite dust and carbon because you can just install the positron ejector and shoot the ground with your ship and you get thousands of fairy dust and carbon in minutes
If you have enough hyperdrive fuel consider going to many different systems and buying a multi tool upgrade in each one to get more storage until you don’t enough fuel or money. It gets you more storage, and if you have a good multi tool worth keeping you have plenty of space to upgrade
invest it and flip it with buying wiring looms or buying abunch of cobalt and oxygen and combining those to make ionized cobalt and find a system selling it and crash their economy!
Find planet with activated indium deposits. Create TOOB(stacks upon stacks upon stacks of miners) Make more profit by killing economies with copious amounts of activated indium. Rinse. Repeat. Take over universe
Trust me you can farm even more, due you eill need more. Save it if you do not need anything right now. You will need for ships, and ship upgrades, and probably materials tgat you will need in building etc etc.
I've read quite a lot of comments and no one stated ship salvaging. With a few basic materials you can make a crashed ship fly, take it to space station and scrap for units and parts. I found this a fairly efficient and easy way to earn units and it's not game breaking or difficult
Buy chlorine or make some, then travel to a system that buys it at a + margin, then after you've sold it all to them the margin should drop down a heap, making the chlorine cheaper, buy it all back from them immediately and then travel to another system and do it again, keeping in mind the profit only works if you sell then buy in systems that desire chlorine and will buy it at a higher rate, if you have enough chlorine, like, a few hundred thousand, you can crash their economy, and effectively make 30 mil profit in 30 seconds, took me a couple of hours to reach max credits doing this lol
That is small change mate... That amount you can make in half hour just by slowly flying above surface on some water planet and shooting in the water with basic weapon with one s class upgrade...
I'd argue that 5 million units of something is a lot, wether it has adquisitive power or not is a different parameter, its a lot of units, its not a lot of wealth
As people said, that's not a lot at all. I'm sitting in around 360 million and I'm still broke. I do have almost 30k nanites though. Still need 20k more lol
Invest in some contraband from outlaw systems and sell them in normal systems. Rinse repeat. Great fun way to play the game, you might get attacked a few times on your journeys and if you defeat them you'll get rewards from that too. Much more fun than just collecting resources with button presses from farms. Farms and stuff take time and resources to set up and take away a lot of reasons to go travelling but it depends how you wanna play. You can smuggle straight away with limited funds. 5mil won't go far, speculate to accumulate.
You could always buy some exosuit inventory slots. There are three, the main one, cargo, and tech. You can get one per space station. If you've maxed that out, then I would upgrade the inventory of your favorite starship. Which can also be done on any space station, to the left of where you upgrade suit inventory. Enjoy your time interloper!
Ion batteries, like.load up your ships and your backup ships with them. So much easier and huy other common craft parts that you need to fix ships you find too
Sorry pal, but those are Pennies, I think even I’m poor though (330,000,000), but as for your question: work on improving your equipment, only buy S class things and don’t invest too heavily in things you already own, be on the lookout for good ships, multi tools, and freighters.
My tip, to feel like you’re advancing and are self reliant but also to help in future endeavours, is to try and get yourself an Activated Indium farm up and running as soon as possible.
Oxygen. Then find some chlorine. Put them both in a medium refiner. You get six chlorine for the price of one chlorine and two oxygen. Rinse and repeat.
I also go to outlaw stations and buy up tech and weapon goods then open them then sell it back to the mods guy for nannites. There's tons of ways to get whatever you want
If you wish to go crazy with unit farming, look up an activated indium farm. This will give you a lengthy goal, depending on how progressed you are in this game.
S class freighters I'm looking at are north of 123mil. I have sobering like 400mil but I play with guys with 5bil. I feel broke. Load up on materials! You need more, go find sunken and wrecked ships, then sell them, easy peasy. I wracked up over 20 mill in a night just finding ships and selling them, then selling the extra crap they give you for close to what the ships are worth some times.
I came here because I am always maxed at 4,290,000,000 or some such number and it’s very frustrating. But now I realize I have played too much No Mans Sky. Also, is this the cap, and is there anything to spend it on except new spaceship slots for new spaceships until I again max out everything instantly? Pls send help, I will send you credits.
Brother you should save up. 60 hours without grinding I had like 25 million. 5 isn't really a lot. Hit 10 and then load up on materials. Had someone give me 75 million randomly and I finally got a new freighter
Or be a pirate like me. Once u try to warp search for a galaxy with a skull mark. Get there. That’s the outlaw station. Once u get there go to a planet set everything up. And start destroying cargo pods u see in space including frigrate pods. Once u do that some will give u banned weapons. Or anything that says contraband go to a normal space station and sell everything those ships give you. I make 60-80mill in one run that takes like 10-30 mins. I’m at 5 billion
Bruhhhh, that's not a whole lot lol, my starship is worth over 9x more then that, hauler waayyy more. Great start though and I hope you're absolutely loving this amazing game. Definitely will have to do an update when you hit a billion credits.
It makes me happy to see this post. That may not be a lot of units in the grand scheme of things but it makes me happy to know you’re out there grinding away and helping to keep the game a vibrant place. Keep it up man! As far as purchases go, I see some good advice in here and would recommend upgrading your ship possibly if you have one you really like.
That's not a big amount, but it's useful if you want a new ship, if you want to become rich, I recommend having a sistem controlled by pirates, this way, you can attack the freighters without affecting your relations with the local aliens (Vy'keen, Korvax or Gek), try to attack the freighters and not the containers that are floating around the freighter, also, it is recommended to use a Hauler (a type of starship) to attack these freighters, because they have a lot of shield bonus and a lot of space in the inventory, which is convenient because you're gonna get a lot of resources from the freighters, then, you go to a normal system and go to the space station ASAP before getting scanned by sentinels (because most of the things you get from pirate system's freighters are illegal) and sell all those things in the market, you can change the inventory from where you're selling the things in the market by pushing the square (if you're on playstation) or the "X" (if you're on Xbox) and it will show your starship inventory. Idk if someone already explained this but this is really useful and easy, you only need a Hauler and maybe sodium to recharge the shields of your ship because you're going to be shot by the freighters and a pirate system because they don't have any authorities like sentinels.
You have enough to buy an s class guppy, the one with the round cockpit and pointed noses. They are rather cheap for an s class exotic. You just gotta find one.
The other comment I considered was, "Call me back when you move the decimal place three more to the right and I'll give you some help. There will be a 10% sur charge..."
Awww I remember when I made my first couple mil and thought it was a lot. Keep going buddy you're only 155mil away from good freighter!
Nipnip
alot of hookers and cocaine
Sweet summer child
Buy resources (not batteries) to refill your ship and suit, in huge packs to never bother about collecting resources to survive again. Also buy upgrades for your suit on each station you visit
That's not many units...
a bunch of hookers and cocaine
"a lot"
At this point, stock up on materials. Elements, Minerals, crafted tech - like Wiring Looms - as many fellows here said. Then build a couple of Activated Indium farms, so you can make the real money. And then you can indulge on the expensive hobby of buying and scrapping S-class starships for Starship Storage Augmentations and nice S-class Upgrade Modules, which you can then sell for Nanites!
More money? Build a Mega S-Class activated indium mining operation. Huge money every time you hit it (after it fills up).
Upgrade your scanner like some mentioned, when you find a station that has an S class scanner. Buy it, install it, jump into your ship. Jump out for the auto save and then reload that auto save. You'll be able to go to that same merchant and buy another one. Do this same method until you have all the ones you need. If you want more money look for folks with indium or active indium farms, when I'm low on cash I jump to a few and sell what I can carry. Easily 200 million in cash for 5 minutes lol. Rinse and repeat when you need cash.
Bigger freighter
Someone get this interloper a stack of A.I. Valves stat!
Don’t spend any money on ferrite dust and carbon because you can just install the positron ejector and shoot the ground with your ship and you get thousands of fairy dust and carbon in minutes
Active indium mine all the way!! Easiest money to be had!!
That's not that many units.
lol cute
Hah, I got an exploit that gave me a 2 billion the first 5 hours and I did it without even knowing how
If you have enough hyperdrive fuel consider going to many different systems and buying a multi tool upgrade in each one to get more storage until you don’t enough fuel or money. It gets you more storage, and if you have a good multi tool worth keeping you have plenty of space to upgrade
Is uh is anyone guna tell ‘em or???
Definitely spend it on more units
Not being a ass but that’s not a lot of units. Some freighters cost more than that.
Most ships cost more
Oxigen and convert to clore... and so ontill few bil
Ummm are we gonna tell em?
invest it and flip it with buying wiring looms or buying abunch of cobalt and oxygen and combining those to make ionized cobalt and find a system selling it and crash their economy!
You dont have a lot XD
this has happened to me, i know you should get quest items, multitool upgrades, starship upgrades etc.
Space boat
Find planet with activated indium deposits. Create TOOB(stacks upon stacks upon stacks of miners) Make more profit by killing economies with copious amounts of activated indium. Rinse. Repeat. Take over universe
I have 2.3 billions and still think its not enough
geknip
black jack and hookers something responsible
Wait till you hit the 4.2B cap.
This is sooooooo sooo cute!! Like oh my gosh! Lots of units!!
I don’t want to sound like a dick, but that is not a lot in this game… As others stated, my oxygen and refine further
oh boy, if you think this is a lot wait until you find out about ship AI trade prices 🤣
What's that?
INVEST 5 mil ain't much
Trade some cargo and triple it in a day?
Oh you sweet summer child
Spend it all and buy oxygen and chlorine, put them in a refiner and sell and make more money
"a lot" 😂
"A lot"? So either you're new here or you got an actual life
I have about 450 million and I seem to be pretty cash poor compared to a lot of the people here.
Buy trade goods and sell them in other systems. Turn that into 100 million
No you don’t
How longing have you been playing
Nip Nip
relatively not a lot, save it for some nice exotic u find
Backpack slots.
Trust me you can farm even more, due you eill need more. Save it if you do not need anything right now. You will need for ships, and ship upgrades, and probably materials tgat you will need in building etc etc.
More units
I've read quite a lot of comments and no one stated ship salvaging. With a few basic materials you can make a crashed ship fly, take it to space station and scrap for units and parts. I found this a fairly efficient and easy way to earn units and it's not game breaking or difficult
Hookers and cocaine.
5 mil is nothing
You think that’s a lot??😂😂 cute. I have almost 100 million and that’s still not enough sometimes
Buy chlorine or make some, then travel to a system that buys it at a + margin, then after you've sold it all to them the margin should drop down a heap, making the chlorine cheaper, buy it all back from them immediately and then travel to another system and do it again, keeping in mind the profit only works if you sell then buy in systems that desire chlorine and will buy it at a higher rate, if you have enough chlorine, like, a few hundred thousand, you can crash their economy, and effectively make 30 mil profit in 30 seconds, took me a couple of hours to reach max credits doing this lol
Ya mom. Buy her something really nice. Lol
That’s not that much but buy a ship
Rookie numbers. But cheers!
That is small change mate... That amount you can make in half hour just by slowly flying above surface on some water planet and shooting in the water with basic weapon with one s class upgrade...
more units
Geknip and hookers
Yeah a lot...
I'd argue that 5 million units of something is a lot, wether it has adquisitive power or not is a different parameter, its a lot of units, its not a lot of wealth
Alot??? 🤣🤣🤣
Rookie numbers. Max that bad boy out at 2 billion
As people said, that's not a lot at all. I'm sitting in around 360 million and I'm still broke. I do have almost 30k nanites though. Still need 20k more lol
Am I the only raider here?

5 mil? Cant even buy a decent hauler with that 😂
Lol wtf. Guessing this post is a troll?
freightor

Enjoy your time interloper!
The real question is, is that a lot though?
Oh young interlooper
I have been maxxed on cash more times that i care to count and i just use it on ship upgrades
That's really not a whole lot of units you can buy a c class something maybe lol
hmm I don't really think it's a lot of units
Put some oxygen and chlorine in your refiner.....profit.
Stuff to make more units of course.
a lot :D
Are you on Xbox?
Invest in an Indium mine my guy
"A lot" he/she says
Don't think that's alot. You would need even more to upgrade your starship.
Hate to break it to you but thats not very much. I have 74 million and i still feel broke. My friend has 400 mil
No you don't lol
More money lol 😅
Ion batteries, like.load up your ships and your backup ships with them. So much easier and huy other common craft parts that you need to fix ships you find too
My dude, this is not a lot.
Frigates and wiring looms. Frigates are a good investment. Pretty soon you’ll have more money than you know what to do with.
Buddy. I’m gonna tell you right now because I was in the same situation as well and learned the hard way.
You have SOME units
Sorry pal, but those are Pennies, I think even I’m poor though (330,000,000), but as for your question: work on improving your equipment, only buy S class things and don’t invest too heavily in things you already own, be on the lookout for good ships, multi tools, and freighters.
Those are rookie numbers my boy so All im gonna is don’t go trying the buy a ship or else reality will slap you hard
Lol, "a lot" that's 2 decent frigates tho, make that money work for YOU
"a lot" 😂
NipNip
Invest and sell system to system, crash all the economies. Get richer
Units received
Lots? Those are rookie numbers /s
S H I P
HOARD!!!
Thats a small amount of money. Use that money to make more money by making things that will help you get more money.
When you realize that’s not that much
The worst ship you can find.
Dirt. Just dirt
I like to play the markets and double my money. Go to trading posts as you will, in my experience, get more money for products.
Porn
Awe, cute. They think that's a "Lot of units". Oh the bliss of ignorance.
Look up cobalt flipping and forget about scavenging for money ever again.
My tip, to feel like you’re advancing and are self reliant but also to help in future endeavours, is to try and get yourself an Activated Indium farm up and running as soon as possible.
New ship, inventory slots
Oxygen. Then find some chlorine. Put them both in a medium refiner. You get six chlorine for the price of one chlorine and two oxygen. Rinse and repeat.
ships
a lot? haha, that's like 3 fiddies in no man's sky universe. I recommend saving up more for a good s tier ship.
This is poverty from my NMS experience, no worries though mate assuming you’re new and 5mil is definitely nice to have
I also go to outlaw stations and buy up tech and weapon goods then open them then sell it back to the mods guy for nannites. There's tons of ways to get whatever you want
If you wish to go crazy with unit farming, look up an activated indium farm. This will give you a lengthy goal, depending on how progressed you are in this game.
S class freighters I'm looking at are north of 123mil. I have sobering like 400mil but I play with guys with 5bil. I feel broke. Load up on materials! You need more, go find sunken and wrecked ships, then sell them, easy peasy. I wracked up over 20 mill in a night just finding ships and selling them, then selling the extra crap they give you for close to what the ships are worth some times.
That is not a lot of units. That will not even buy you a decent S class ship or a mostly ok freighter. Billions is "a lot".
You broke brah
I came here because I am always maxed at 4,290,000,000 or some such number and it’s very frustrating. But now I realize I have played too much No Mans Sky. Also, is this the cap, and is there anything to spend it on except new spaceship slots for new spaceships until I again max out everything instantly? Pls send help, I will send you credits.
You can jump on with me and I'll show you
Brother you should save up. 60 hours without grinding I had like 25 million. 5 isn't really a lot. Hit 10 and then load up on materials. Had someone give me 75 million randomly and I finally got a new freighter
I could turn 5 mil into 100 using a nice trade rout of several stars with high value economies. I always buy the economy scanner first thing.
Trollololol
No you dont
You gotta pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!
Get an S-Class solar ship. Or something expensive to dupe.
Oxygen, a whole lot of oxygen, and a bit of chlorine.
Find an outlaw system and buy as many illegal goods as you can, then sell them in a high economy system
Chlorine to make more money with oxygen in a med refiner.
Chump change
You are indeed rolling in it 💰💲
Ohhhh Bless your heart ❤️!
Save up for a freighter
Thats not a lot….
Buying the game lol
Thats not alot. I have over a billion after spending a bunch maxing out golden vector
Ship
Max amount of units you can have is around 4,294,000,000 or so. Limitations of the game and all. Still keep up the good work. 😁
Umm you mean 4,294,000,000
Not to be an ass but that’s not a whole lot from someone who has made many hundreds of billions
sum bitches
Buy some alien badussy
Nipnip buds
What’s your friend code?
Or be a pirate like me. Once u try to warp search for a galaxy with a skull mark. Get there. That’s the outlaw station. Once u get there go to a planet set everything up. And start destroying cargo pods u see in space including frigrate pods. Once u do that some will give u banned weapons. Or anything that says contraband go to a normal space station and sell everything those ships give you. I make 60-80mill in one run that takes like 10-30 mins. I’m at 5 billion
Hookers and booze
Drugs
No you don't, trust me. Save them!
It’s not a lot
Hookers and coke
You should take those units and buy stuff to trade. You can make that 5m go to 50m on no time if you have enough places to warp.
Wait till you find out about activated indium farms. I make more than 5 million units an hour
Invest in GekCoin, the latest currency innovation in the Euclid Galaxy
This is adorable 😊
You can get a reasonably priced high end early game ship.
Aww this is cute
Find a planet with Activated Indium, build a big storage farm, come back tomorrow, and then you will be on your way to feeling rich.
Oh you sweet, sweet summer child, you're practically broke.
You beat me to it
A class multi tool.
I came back to the game after 4 years with no memory and my 49hr save had 3.9 Billion units lol it's nutty out there apparently
Invest them in the space stock market /j
Build yourself a trading network. Buy low sell high. Units will never be an issue.
you can make more than double of that amount with an activated indium farm
I once amounted 73 billions out of pure greed on terragenesis.
Yeah that’s unfortunately not much but if it were me I’d spend my money on freighters or maybe a better personal ship
materials for an activated indium or stasis device farm
Invest in geckcoin I hear it's quite low atm and it can only go up.
To the moon!
That’s enough to buy a roll of toilet paper my guy
Do the trade route thing for a bit and see how you feel when you get up to a couple hundred million
If only that was a lot of credits
Bruhhhh, that's not a whole lot lol, my starship is worth over 9x more then that, hauler waayyy more. Great start though and I hope you're absolutely loving this amazing game. Definitely will have to do an update when you hit a billion credits.
It makes me happy to see this post. That may not be a lot of units in the grand scheme of things but it makes me happy to know you’re out there grinding away and helping to keep the game a vibrant place. Keep it up man! As far as purchases go, I see some good advice in here and would recommend upgrading your ship possibly if you have one you really like.
You're poor AF bruh
Ha ha ha nice joke
That's how much I have left if I try to fully upgrade a ship
As far as I know, a cheap freighter goes about 7 million, thats not a lot of units.
Geknip
Frigates
I hit 1 billion during the... lucrative... period of time after the cargo slots were added. Now I feel comfy
How is this a lot?
To him it's a lot
That’s enough for 2 wiring looms
That's not a big amount, but it's useful if you want a new ship, if you want to become rich, I recommend having a sistem controlled by pirates, this way, you can attack the freighters without affecting your relations with the local aliens (Vy'keen, Korvax or Gek), try to attack the freighters and not the containers that are floating around the freighter, also, it is recommended to use a Hauler (a type of starship) to attack these freighters, because they have a lot of shield bonus and a lot of space in the inventory, which is convenient because you're gonna get a lot of resources from the freighters, then, you go to a normal system and go to the space station ASAP before getting scanned by sentinels (because most of the things you get from pirate system's freighters are illegal) and sell all those things in the market, you can change the inventory from where you're selling the things in the market by pushing the square (if you're on playstation) or the "X" (if you're on Xbox) and it will show your starship inventory. Idk if someone already explained this but this is really useful and easy, you only need a Hauler and maybe sodium to recharge the shields of your ship because you're going to be shot by the freighters and a pirate system because they don't have any authorities like sentinels.
You have enough to buy an s class guppy, the one with the round cockpit and pointed noses. They are rather cheap for an s class exotic. You just gotta find one.
Most players make that in a single transaction. Most of the time they make more lol
That’s not a lot of unit
how do you get nanites?
