No Man's Sky: 15 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You
5. Craft Your Own Antimatter
Antimatter is one of the more important resources in No Man's Sky, as this stuff is a crucial ingredient in making warp cells, which is what lets you fly at hyperspeed between galaxies. A lot of spacey-wacey high-tech jargon to take in there, but I'm sure you intrepid spacefarers can handle it.
You could buy antimatter off traders for around 50,000 units, but you're much better off finding the formula to make your own.
To do this, complete the tutorial mission by building a Hyperdrive for your ship and heading off into the next solar system using your only Warp Cell. At that point, you'll get a marker pointing you to an outpost on a planet where you can find the formula for antimatter.
Congratulations, you now have the tools to make your own fuel for FTL travel around the cosmos. Now you just need Electron Vapor, 50 Heridium and 20 Zinc to literally get off the ground.
