Fungal Mold Into Nanite Method
Hello fellow Travelers! Here's a fun way to make some Nanites with Farming and Cooking! We're gonna jump straight into it!
To start, you will need the following to use this method:
Access to the Space Anomaly
Hazmat Gauntlet for your Exosuit
Toxic Protection, or plenty of Sodium for your Exosuit Hazard Protection systems
Terrain Manipulator modification for your Multitool
At least 50 Fungal Mold, and 25 Ammonia (can be found on Toxic Planets, often in found Green Galaxies) [Ammonia must be farmed with the Terrain Manipulator in most cases, but may also be found in Galactic Trade Terminals, or other Planetary Minerals in small amounts]
Plenty of Ferrite Dust for crafting and refining for Build Recipes
Plenty of Carbon for refining and Build Recipes
Nutrient Processor (2 Metal Plating, 1 Hermetic Seal 25 Sodium)
Hydroponics Tray or Large Hydroponics Tray (Small= 30 Pure Ferrite, 2 Metal Plating, 20 Carbon Large= 60 Pure Ferrite, 4 Metal Plating, 50 Carbon)
Fungal Mold takes 4 hours of real time to grow, so have a large farm with plenty of trays for efficient collection. The yield per plant is 50 Fungal Mold. For even more efficiency be sure to use the Large Hydroponics Tray for a higher collection rate. Once you have obtained, farmed, and built the needed items, you can begin the process of turning Fungal Mold into Nanites!
For this particular recipe we'll be making Delicious Vegetable Stew! I'll give you my example recipe that yields 50 of the stews per 4 plants. Keep in mind, you can increase/decrease the amount based on what you have obtained.
- Process 200 Fungal Mold into Non-Toxic Mushrooms to make 200 Non-Toxic Mushrooms.
- Process 150 of the Non-Toxic Mushrooms into 150 Steamed Vegetables.
- Place 50 Steamed Vegetables into the first slot, and 50 Non-Toxic Mushrooms into the second slot to make 50 Fibrious Stew
- Place 50 Steamed Vegetables into the first and second slots each to make 50 Flavorsome Sauce.
- Place the 50 Flavorsome Sauce into the first slot, and the 50 Fibrious Stew into the second slot.
- Once your finished, fly out to space, summon the Space Anomaly and enter. Once you enter, go up the ramp to the right of the Nexus, past the Holo-Arenas, and in the back center of the room next to the Egg Sequencer you should find Iteration: Cronus. Present him the food, and you should receive around 20-140 Nanites per stew. Be warned, he can be tedious to deal with the more you make at once, as you have to interact with him for each one unless you have a Hotkey or Mod.
My latest yield was 3,459 Nanites for 50 Delicious Vegetable Stew. There are more valuable cooking recipes, but this one is a simple start for you
If any instructions were unclear, or you need further assistance, I've left a recipe website and the NMS Wiki links for you. Hope this is of some help, have a great day!
