How to get all No Man's Sky Atlas Passes

Currently, in No Man's Sky all types of Atlas Pass can be obtained following the same method. In previous versions of the game they could be obtained in different ways, but what we are going to explain below applies to the Beyond expansion onwards.

There are 3 types of Atlas Pass and their blueprints can be obtained from production centers on any planet. To do this you must go to one of these buildings (locations can be found by exploring the planets or exchanging navigation data with cartographers). Be careful, because these centers are always defended by sentries and their metal doors prevent you from entering. To gain access inside you will have to destroy the doors in a hostile way, for example with your ship's cannons.

• Once you have entered a production center: you will have to solve a puzzle on the computer to override the security systems.
• Upon successful completion: You will receive a factory override unit.
• It is recommended: to save the game before doing this in case you fail and the systems crash, so you will have the opportunities you want.
• When normal operations resume: among the available options you must select "Learn new formula".

This way you will access a panel with a lot of new plans and formulas that you may or may not already have. The three types of Atlas Pass are on the right side of the components and devices menu. You must redeem your Override Unit to unlock the Atlas Pass blueprint you need.
