You shouldoptimize your mining laserto get better yields with the Optical Drill.
That’s a 50-percent bonus chance to get extra Runaway Mould.
Finding And Using A Nanite Farm
Finding Curious Deposits on your own can be a bit tedious.
A far faster method is tosimply travel to a known location where Curious Deposits spawn.
These bases are often called Nanite farms as players can go there to farm vast quantities of Nanites.
These Nanite farms can be found in multiple ways.
Locations will be listed with portal glyphs, so any traveler can portal to the planet.
Some player-made Nanite Farms also have multiple refiners on siteto quickly refine Runaway Mold into Nanites.
Feel free to make use of these facilities if they’re available.
Don’t waste time in waist-deep water.

These will be worth various amounts of Nanites, ranging from 200 to 3,000 and beyond.
Sell them at the station to the Technology Merchant.

Scanning flora and fauna with your visor immediately provides Units, whileuploading your data provides Nanites.
However,a much larger quantity of Nanites can be acquired by scanning all fauna on a planet.
These can be scanned relatively quickly before moving onto the next planet.
Underwater fauna is more difficult, and underground fauna is extremely difficult to find.
Here’s a rundown of every source of Nanites in No Man’s Sky.
Finding these items means finding Dissonant Systems,which you’re able to learn more about here.
