No Man\'s Sky: How to Get Solanium

No Man's Sky's Solanium: Location, Farming, and Crafting Guide

Solanium, a valuable resource in No Man's Sky, is exclusive to planets with specific climates. This guide details how to acquire Solanium through gathering, farming, and crafting.

Finding Solanium:

Locate hot and arid planets. Use your starship scanner to identify planets with descriptions like "Arid," "Incandescent," "Boiling," or "Scorched." These planets will list Solanium as a resource.

Once landed, use your Analysis Visor to locate Solar Vines – tall, rock-like structures with glowing vines. Harvesting requires a Haz-Mat Gauntlet. Phosphorus, also found on these planets, is a key ingredient for crafting Solanium.

Farming Solanium:

After progressing the Farmer's Agricultural Research mission, you can cultivate Solar Vines. Plant them in a Hydroponic Tray or Bio-Dome (using 50 Solanium and 50 Phosphorus) or directly in the ground on a hot planet. Harvest after approximately 16 real-time hours.

Crafting Solanium:

Several Refiner recipes produce Solanium, mostly requiring Phosphorus (obtained from hot planets or traders). Here are the recipes:

• Solanium + Phosphorus (to increase Solanium)
• Phosphorus + Oxygen
• Phosphorus + Sulphurine
• Di-hydrogen + Sulphurine

Note: Most crafting methods necessitate visiting a hot planet to acquire the necessary ingredients. Establishing a Phosphorus farm at your base is recommended to ensure a consistent Sulphurine supply.
