Overview
Refine everything! No need to farm any more.
Refining – The Magic Of Alchemy
In No Man’s Sky you can do what no alchemist has succeeded to do – create something out of nothing. There are refining multiplication formulas almost for every metal, mineral or a plant. Get creative, feel the magic of Alchemy like Paracelsus.
Popular Resource Multiplying Progressions
Ferrite Metals
Rusted Metal x1 = Ferrite Dust x2
Pure Ferrite x1 + Oxygen x1 = Rusted Metal x2
Magnetised Ferrite x1 = Pure Ferrite x2 (Fast unit output)
Ferrite Dust x1 + (Activated) Indium x1 = Magnetised Ferrite x4 (x8)
Indium x1 + Chromatic Metal x1 = Indium x2
(Activated) Indium x1 = Chromatic Metal x2 (x4)
Carbon
Condensed Carbon x1 + Oxygen x2 = Condensed Carbon x6
Condensed Carbon x1 = Carbon x2
Oxygen
Star Bulb x1 + Kelp Sack x1 + Condensed Carbon x1 = Oxygen x10
Paraffinium x1 + Nitrogen x1 = Star Bulb x1
Salt x1 + Nitrogen x1 = Kelp Sac x1
Sodium
Magnetised Ferrite x1 + Nitrogen x1 = Sodium Nitrate x3
Sodium Nitrate x1 + Nitrogen x1 / Oxygen x1 = Sodium Nitrate x2
Sodium Nitrate x1 = Sodium x2
Cobalt
Ionised Cobalt x1 + Oxygen x2 = Ionised Cobalt x6
Ionised Cobalt x1 = Cobalt x2
Di-hydrogen
Tritium x5 = Di-hydrogen x1
Di-hydrojen x30 = Di-hydrojen Jelly x1 = Di-hydrojen x50 (Very fast unit output)
(You can also buy Di-hydrojen Jelly at Trading Terminals)
Phosphorus
Dioxite x2 + Ferrite Dust x1 = Phosphorus x1
Solanium x2 + Salt x1 = Phosphorus x1
Phosphorus x1 + Sulphurine x1 = Solanium x1
Phosphorus x1 + Solanium x1 = Solanium x2
Dioxite
Condensed Carbon x1 + Sodium Nitrate x1 = Dioxite x2
Ammonia x2 + Ferrite Dust x1 = Dioxite x1
Ferrite Dust x1 + Paraffinium x2 = Ammonia x1
Chlorine / Salt
Chlorine x1 + Oxygen x2 = Chlorine x6
Salt x2 + Oxygen x2 = Chlorine x5
Chlorine x1 = Salt x2
Pyrite
Gold x1 + Oxygen x1 = Pyrite x2
Uranium x2 + Ferrite Dust x1 = Pyrite x1
Uranium
Radon x1 + Magnetised Ferrite x1 = Uranium x3
Sulphurine x1 + Chromatic Metal x1 / Oxygen x1 = Radon x1
Nitrogen x1 + Chromatic Metal x1 / Oxygen x1 = Sulphurine x1
Glass
Frost Crystal x40 = Glass x1
(Crafting Glass from Frost Crystal x40 is much faster than refining)
Frost Crystal x1 + Dioxite x1 = Frost Crystal x2
Dioxite x1 + Radon x1 = Frost Crystal x1

Plants & Flora Elements
Star Bulb
Paraffinium x1 + Star Bulb x1 = Star Bulb x2
Paraffinium x1 + Nitrogen x1 = Star Bulb x1
Marrow Bulb
Cobalt x1 + Nitrogen x1 = Marrow Bulb x1
Mordite x1 + Sodium Nitrate x1 = Marrow Bulb x4
Gamma Root
Gamma Root x1 + Uranium x1 = Gamma Root x2
Uranium x1 + Radon x1 = Gamma Root x1 (Fast unit output)
Cactus Flesh
Cactus Flesh x1 + Pyrite x1 = Cactus Flesh x2
Pyrite x1 + Sulphurine x1 = Cactus Flesh x1
Fungal Mould
Fungal Mould x1 + Ammonia x1 = Fungal Mould x2
Ammonia x1 + Nitrogen x1 = Fungal Mould x1
Kelp Sac
Salt x1 + Nitrogen x1 = Kelp Sac x1
Solanium
Phosphorus x1 + Solanium x1 = Solanium x2
Phosphorus x1 + Sulphurine x1 = Solanium x1
Frost Crystal
Frost Crystal x1 + Dioxite x1 = Frost Crystal x2
Dioxite x1 + Radon x1 = Frost Crystal x1
Faecium
Faecium x1 + Oxygen x1 = Faecium x3
Mordite x1 + Condensed Carbon x1 = Faecium x4
Mordite
Faecium x3 = Mordite x2
Di-hydrojen x1 + Condensed Carbon x1 = Mordite x1

Nanite Clusters
Larval Core x1 = Nanite Cluster x50
Salvaged Data x1 = Nanite Cluster x15
Tainted Metal x1 = Nanite Cluster x2
Runaway Mould x5 = Nanite Cluster x1
Platinum x35 = Nanite Cluster x1
Hexite x1 + Faecium x1 = Nanite Cluster x1
(Hexite can be obtained as a reward for completing missions given by guild NPCs)

Making Quick Money
Chlorine x9999 (full stack) = 6,020,000.00
Chlorine x1 + Oxygen x2 = Chlorine x6 (Refine)
Salt x2 + Oxygen x2 = Chlorine x5 (Refine)
Hot Ice x1 = 320,000.00
Craft Hot Ice from refined components using a Blueprint:
Enriched Carbon x1 + Nitrogen Salt x1 = Hot Ice x1 (Craft)
Enriched Carbon x1 = 50,000.00
Radon x100 + Carbon x20 + Chlorine x5 = Enriched Carbon x1 (Refine)
Nitrogen Salt x1 = 50,000.00
Nitrogen x100 + Condenced Carbon x10 + Chlorine x5 = Nitrogen Salt x1 (Refine)
Living Glass x1 = 566,000.00
Craft Living Glass from refined components using a Blueprint:
Lubricant x1 + Glass x5 = Living Glass x1 (Craft)
Lubricant x1 = 110,000.00
Faecium x50 + Gamma Root x400 = Lubricant x1 (Craft)
Faecium x1 + Oxygen x1 = Faecium x3 (Refine)
Gamma Root x1 + Uranium x1 = Gamma Root x2 (Refine)
Uranium x1 + Radon x1 = Gamma Root x1 (Refine / Fast unit output)
It’s a good idea to use multiple Refiners for faster refining process.
Selling in bulk will crash the prices in the System. Watch the price when selling and change Systems for better prices. Prices reset in 24 hours at midnight.
Additional Information
For faster refining process it is recommended to set up Mining Bases to extract basic resources from which all other materials can be refined:
Oxygen (O2)
- – Can be found on planets with Exotic and most biome types
Nitrogen (N)
- – Can be found on planets with Lush and Toxic biomes
Sulphurine (Su)
- – Can be found on planets with Hot and Barren biomes
Paraffinium (Pf)
- – Can be found on planets with Lush biomes
Phosphorus (P)
- – Can be found on planets with Scorched biomes

“Magic has power to experience and fathom things which are inaccessible to human reason. For magic is a great secret wisdom, just as reason is a great public folly.”
