To make warp cells in No Man's Sky, you need to gather Antimatter and Antimatter Housing. You can acquire Antimatter from certain NPCs or manufacturing facilities, while Antimatter Housing can be crafted from Oxygen and Ferrite Dust. Combine these two components in your inventory to create warp cells for your spaceship.
Extracting Resources
To make warp cells in No Man's Sky, you need to first gather the necessary resources. One primary resource you need is Antimatter. This can be obtained by visiting Space Stations and interacting with NPCs or by exploring planets and locating glowing nodes that contain Antimatter. Additionally, you will need to gather Thamium9, which can be found on most planets in red crystalline formations or by destroying asteroids in space. Finally, you will need to collect Heridium, a blue mineral typically found in large rock formations on planets.
Refining Resources
Once you have gathered the necessary resources, the next step is to refine them. You can use a Refiner, which is a piece of equipment that allows you to combine and refine different resources. First, place the Refiner on the ground and interact with it. Then, you can input the resources you have gathered, such as Antimatter, Thamium9, and Heridium. By following the recipes, you can refine these resources into new materials required for crafting the warp cells.
Crafting Warp Cells
After refining the resources, you can now craft the warp cells. Interact with your Exosuit's inventory or a nearby crafting station and locate the option to create warp cells. Select the recipe that requires the refined materials you have created, typically Antimatter and other elements. By crafting warp cells, you will have the necessary fuel to power your starship's warp drive, allowing you to travel between different star systems in the game.
Efficient Resource Management
To ensure a steady supply of warp cells, it is essential to efficiently manage your resources. Keep an eye on your inventory levels of Antimatter, Thamium9, and Heridium, and plan your exploration and mining activities accordingly. You can also consider setting up automated resource gathering systems on your base or freighter to streamline the resource collection process. By efficiently managing your resources, you can always have a stockpile of materials ready to craft warp cells whenever needed.
Exploration and Trade
In addition to gathering and refining resources, you can also obtain warp cells through exploration and trade. Keep an eye out for crashed starships or abandoned freighters during your travels, as they may contain valuable resources like warp cells. You can also visit Trade Outposts on planets or Space Stations to purchase warp cells from NPCs or trade for them using other items you have collected. By exploring different regions and engaging in trade, you can acquire warp cells without having to craft them from scratch.
