10 Reasons You Should Give No Man's Sky Another Chance
5. Farming
Let’s be clear, this is not something you will be able to dip in and out of. If you’re going to farm alien worlds with any real success it’s going to take time and resources. But that’s not to say it isn’t rewarding.
Creating your own martian farming business is exactly what No Man’s Sky needed because it gives you a purpose. Rather than just landing somewhere, mining everything valuable and then selling it only to buy a bigger ship to do it all over again, you now have a reason to stick around. Picking a planet will take time now because you’ll need somewhere that has the resources to build a basic farming setup.
However, the game manages to keep it just easy enough to get into while also making it rewarding for those who invest some serious time. To grow the plants that will yield valuable harvests like the Gravitino Ball flower you’ll need to find quite a lot of two rare elements but there is an in game guide that tells you exactly what’s needed. BUT it won’t tell you where to find it, so there’s still a challenge.
