No Man's Sky: 16 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

15. Climb Any Surface (Even Vertical Cliff-Faces)

Now, the game does pop up with a prompt to inform you of this, but only if you fly directly into a wall in the first place - which unless you like your space pirates in the mould of Boba Fett, is hard to do by accident.

Instead, jetpack-boost up to any wall/cliff face, keep holding X and your jetpack will enter a different mode where you're ostensibly 'climbing' the surface without running out of fuel.

You can use this to escape any caves and/or deep tunnels you're lost in - or just to gain the height advantage to scan creatures in from afar.
