The steadiest stream of income you'll be getting in No Man's Sky should be coming from the simple process of analysing everything you stumble upon. Every plant and creature you see, you scan by holding L2 to focus on it using your Analysis Visor.

Once you've done this, the subject of your analysis will be in your Discoveries tab, ready for uploading. Head over to the tab, highlight whatever you analysed, and hold the Square button to upload it (and rename it to whatever you like).

Each time you do this you'll earn a decent amount of units, alongside the satisfying feeling of being the first person to have ever stumbled upon these things, knowing that one day some other space traveller might find them with your mark on them.
