NmsPlant Carrion Root Farming

A freighter farm

Farming is one of the major methods of fund-raising in No Man's Sky.

Summary[ | ]

Farming provides the ability to plant farmable agricultural products and then harvest resources from them after a certain period of time. Haz-Mat Gauntlets are generally required, except for Echinocactus. The harvested products can then be sold at Galactic Trade Terminals in their raw form, used as ingredients for crafting, or transformed into other products that can be sold. Most of these resources are referred to in-game as Harvested Agricultural Substances.

Crops may only be grown after learning their blueprint from the Farmer that has been hired for your base or freighter. This NPC character will require an Agricultural Terminal to provide research capabilities. Although some of the provided plants may be grown outdoors in the proper conditions, most farms are built inside Bio-Domes as they provide slots for Hydroponic Trays and more convenient harvesting. Crops can also be grown on freighters, as Hydroponic Trays can be built on the second floor and higher.

Blueprints for crops can be bought from the Construction Research Station in the Nexus for 3 Salvaged Data.

An index of player farms can be found at Community Farms.

Crafting products[ | ]

Here are the minimum number of resources required to set up a self-sustaining farm for one of each of the higher-end Advanced Agricultural Products, with highest possible yield per hour:

The best value is Living Glass as it grows much more rapidly as both Liquid Explosive and Circuit Board grow in roughly 24 hours.

Additional information[ | ]

  • Resources can be harvested by anyone finding a working farm, not just the player who created and planted it.
  • You can build farms inside your Freighters. A Construction Limit might be triggered if there are too many items in the same room. If this occurs, try building in separated rooms. (It appears NipNip plants use a higher construction limit and only 6 of them can be planted in a freighter room.)
