Where To Find Uranium In No Man’s Sky

Find A Planet With Uranium

On other planets outside our own solar system, you won’t find uranium everywhere. So, when exploring a new stellar system, it’s essential for players to circle around various planets and perform scans. If uranium is present on a planet, it will be included among the planet’s listed resources.

Uranium is usually found on planets that have a radioactive atmosphere, some of which are particularly rich in gamma rays. A useful tactic might be to start by examining green or yellow planets within the system, as they frequently exhibit radioactivity. Nevertheless, planets of any hue could potentially harbor Uranium.

Finding Uranium Deposits

After landing on a planet where Uranium has been verified, players should employ their Analysis Scanner and search for Uranium Deposit spots.

In the game ‘No Man’s Sky’, if players have constructed a Corvette, they can swiftly access its interior without landing first. By hovering above the ground, they can open the hatch and employ their visor from the ship’s rear. This bypasses the need to repeatedly land and take off, significantly expediting the process. Additionally, players can quickly transport themselves down to the surface and back up using the beam-down feature.

Set out on your journey towards that marked destination, whether you choose to travel by foot or boat. Upon reaching the Uranium Deposit, identified by its distinct yellow or golden color, employ your Terrain Manipulator multi-tool to excavate the Uranium. As long as there’s room in your inventory, the Uranium will automatically be stored.

On these radioactive planets, some normal mineral rocks may also contain small amounts of Uranium.

Purchasing Uranium

I’ve come across places where you can purchase Uranium too, these are known as Galactic Trade Terminals. You can find them nestled within Space Stations or even certain structures on planets.

Instead, it’s important to note that the price of buying Uranium is usually significantly higher than what it can be resold for. As a result, consider purchasing Uranium only when you’re pressed for time, cannot find alternatives, or have ample resources at your disposal.

How To Refine Uranium In No Man’s Sky

In my gaming world, I’ve discovered another exciting aspect – enhancing Uranium from existing resources! To pull this off, you’ll need a trusty Refiner or even a portable one at hand. Happy refining!

As a film enthusiast, I don’t need a detailed recipe or blueprint when it comes to enhancing my gaming experience. All I have to do is toss the necessary resources into the Refiner, and voilà! Uranium will be mine.
