We show you the complete catalog of raw materials available in No Man's Sky and all the ways that exist to obtain each of these materials and resources.
No Man's Sky has a huge and extensive list of materials and resources available in its catalog. Throughout the game, raw materials are the elements that we frequently need the most, for example for crafting and refining, and therefore the ones that we spend the most time farming and obtaining through various methods. These resources serve multiple purposes such as creating other resources, crafting items, keeping our systems up and running, and much more.
The main raw materials or resources can be extracted from the minerals of the planets, from asteroids in space, from fauna and flora, from commerce, etc. The presence and abundance of one or another raw material varies significantly. between planets and ecosystems; some are easier and more common to obtain while others are more difficult and rare.
Below on this page of our guide, we list all the raw materials available in No Man's Sky and what are the methods to obtain each of them. If you are looking for something specific, skip through the following index for convenience:
