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 this valuable material.
Finding Solanium
Unlike Frost Crystals, Solanium thrives on hot and arid planets. Before landing, use your starship scanner to identify planets with descriptions like "Arid," "Incandescent," "Boiling," or "Scorched." The scanner will also directly list Solanium as a resource if present.
Once landed, deploy your Analysis Visor to locate Solar Vines – tall, rock-like structures with glowing vines. These are abundant in specific areas. Remember, you'll need a Haz-Mat Gauntlet to harvest them. While on these planets, consider gathering Phosphorus, a key component in Solanium crafting.
Farming Solanium
After progressing the Farmer's Agricultural Research mission, establish a hydroponic farm. Plant Solar Vines using 50 Solanium and 50 Phosphorus in Hydroponic Trays or Bio-Domes. Hot planets allow direct ground planting. Each vine takes approximately 16 real-time hours to mature.
Crafting Solanium
The Refiner offers several Solanium crafting recipes, most requiring Phosphorus (often obtained from hot planets or purchased from traders/Galactic Trade Terminals). Recipes include:
- 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 ensure a consistent Sulphurine supply, consider establishing a Phosphorus farm at your base.
