No Man's Sky: A Comprehensive Guide to Acquiring Solanium

Solanium, a crucial resource in No Man's Sky, is exclusively found on planets with specific climates. This guide details how to locate, farm, and craft Solanium, ensuring you always have a sufficient supply.

Locating Solanium

Unlike Frost Crystals, Solanium thrives on hot, arid planets. Before landing, utilize your starship scanner to identify planets with descriptions like "Arid," "Incandescent," "Boiling," or "Scorched." The scanner will also indicate Solanium as a resource.

Upon landing, deploy your Analysis Visor to locate Solar Vines – tall, rock-like structures with glowing vines. These are abundant in specific locations. Remember, you'll need a Haz-Mat Gauntlet to harvest them. While on these planets, consider gathering Phosphorus, a key ingredient in Solanium crafting.

Farming Solanium

Once you've progressed in the Farmer's Agricultural Research mission, you can cultivate Solar Vines at your base. Use a Hydroponic Tray or Bio-Dome, planting Solar Vines with 50 Solanium and 50 Phosphorus. Hot planets allow direct ground planting.

Harvesting takes approximately 16 real-time hours.

Crafting Solanium

The Refiner offers several Solanium crafting recipes, most requiring Phosphorus (often obtained from hot planets). Alternatively, purchase Phosphorus from traders or Galactic Trade Terminals. Here are the recipes:

  • Solanium + Phosphorus (to create more Solanium)
  • Phosphorus + Oxygen
  • Phosphorus + Sulphurine
  • Di-hydrogen + Sulphurine

Note that all recipes, including those using Sulphurine, necessitate a visit to a hot planet. To consistently have Sulphurine, focus on gathering Phosphorus and establishing a base farm.
