Today we have the end all farm that will produce at the very least 174,900,000 units per hour
up to a maximum possible 262,350,000, yes per hour, it is the most lucrative farm possible
and there is no possible way of making a more efficient and profitable farm, to put this
into perspective, the maximum units a player can amass on a single save is 4,294,967,295,
this is due to how hexidecimals work as that number in Hex is FFFF FFFF.
To gain this much and max out your units on the most efficient base-only farm being Living
Glass, it would take you 112 hours of harvesting every 15 minutes.
Yes, that is a crazy amount of time to be farming and many people have done it, but
with the farm we're going to go over today, it would take a mere 20-24 hours.
Some may say, as I first thought that this can actually be done in 16 hours not 20-24,
but this is false for reasons I shall explain shortly.
Now as you could expect, this farm is a little more involved, it is not just restricted to
your base, it is limited by your base complexity, but will also require outside harvesting,
though with the system I have come up with, is infinitely consistent and fully doable
within the time constraints presented by the farm itself.
I am of course talking about, the Stasis Device.
Stasis Devices sell for a cool 18 million at the base value or 19.8 million at the Galactic
Average, but they require a whole lot of resources to make, so let's break down the blueprints.
<Blueprints>
I have applied levels of crafting to blueprints, so a level 1 blueprint is something that only
requires base resources to craft, a level 3 requires at least one level 2 and a level
5 requires at least 1 level 4, without counting the Atlas Seed Blueprints, level 5 is the
max, Stasis Device & Fusion Ignitor are both level 5.
The Stasis Device requires a Quantum Processor, Cryogenic Chamber and Iredesite.
A quantum Processor requires a Circuit Board and a Superconductor.
a Cryogenic Chamber requires Living Glass and a Cryo-Pump.
Iredesite requires Aronium, Magno-Gold and Grantine.
Circuit Board requires Heat Capacitor and Poly Fibre, Superconductor needs Enriched
Carbon and Semiconductor, Living Glass requires Lubricant and Glass, Cryo-Pump requires Hot
Ice and Thermic Condensate, Aronium needs 125 Iridium and 125 Carbon, Magno-Gold needs
125 Gold and 125 Iron, Grantine needs 125 Emeril and 125 Heridium.
Heat Capacitors require 200 Solanium and 100 frost crystal, Poly Fibre requires 100 Cactus
Flesh and 200 Star Bulb, Enriched Carbon needs 250 Radon and 25 Carbon, a Semiconductor needs
Thermic Condensate and Ammonium Salt, Lubricant requires 400 Gamma Root and 50 Coprite, Glass
is just 250 Frost Crystal, Hot ice needs Ammonium Salt and Enriched Carbon, Thermic Condensate
needs 250 Sulphurine and 25 Carbon and lastly Ammonium Salt needs 250 Nitrogen and 25 Carbon.
Fill in a few duplicates and blamo, a somewhat insane list of Blueprints
Now, this certainly seems a lot to take in, but my system is quite simple when you break
it down and I'm giving you every last bit of information as I always think it's best
to try and understand the entire process.
For simplicity, here are the blueprints you will need and where to get them.
Glass Lubricant
Poly Fibre Heat Capacitor
Living Glass & Circuit Board
All of those are gained throughout the base quests, the last to be obtained out of that
list is Living Glass almost at the end of all of the missions.
You will also need; Ammonium Salt
Thermic Condensate Enriched Carbon
Hot Ice Semiconductor
Superconductor Cryo-Pump
Cryogenic Chamber Grantine
Magno-Gold Aronium
Iredesite Quantum Processor
& Stasis Device
These are all gained from visiting Manufacturing Facilities and completing the puzzles.
Despite a pattern I had seen emerging in my own experience, it doesn't matter which race
inhabits the system you are farming for the Blueprints, but it is worth noting that Vykeen
has a lower chance of giving you a puzzle that can reward a Blueprint, and that both
Gek and Korvax have a point where you will not get a puzzle that grants a Blueprint for
up to 7 times in a row, so it can seem as though they are not giving them.
I have linked Ket's spreadsheet in the description which shows each puzzle, and what each answer
will reward as well as the order that each puzzle will present itself for all races.
It's incredibly helpful and just another example of Ket's Wiki like nature.
Now let's look at the base farm construction.
<The Base Farm>
Now, this part of the construction line is what dictates the limitations as we are limited
to 2000 complexity.
It is where we will grow the crops that make up the Glass, Lubricant, Poly Fibre and Heat
Capacitors which are then made into the Living Glass and Circuit Boards.
This farm runs on a 15-minute harvest with a 120 minute or 2-hour cycle.
You may think that harvesting every 15 minutes for a total of 8 harvests per cycle is a bit
much, but this is a full-on operation, you won't have much downtime and the rest of the
gathering is split up into 15-minute increments while the crops are regrowing.
Using these most efficient of methods we can stuff enough crops for 26.5 Circuit Boards
and Living Glass per cycle, leading to 26.5 Stasis Device per cycle in the grand scheme.
The only non-essential component of this farm is the Galactic Trade Terminal but at only
10 complexity, you can't do any more than add 2 more Solar Vine, which on its own is
a bit pointless.
It requires a Hot planet to build due to the Solar Vine being by far the most abundant
crop.
The buildings & farmable crops this farm requires are;
1x Galactic Trade Terminal 13x Bio-Domes
1x Ladder 12x Doors (These can be normal or Holodoors)
53x Gamma Weed 24x Frostwort
14x Coprite 27x Echinocactus
53x Star Bramble & 106x Solar Vine
The materials required to build this bad boy are;
500x Emeril 5x Circuit Boards
6x Voltaic Cells 26x Living Glass
65x Glass 1040x Titanium
290x Iron 5300x Gamma Root
840x Coprite 2400x Frost Crystal
2700x Cactus Flesh 5300x Star Bulb
10600x Solanium 7110x Carbon
& 11080x Thamium9
If you want Holodoors instead of Normal Doors you will need a further 300 Carbon, 3000 Radon
and 3000 Sulphurine.
I assume the majority of folk looking into building this will already have all of the
living glass, circuit boards etc built, but if not and you need to know the resources
you need to craft them, just head to xainesworld.com/nmsshoppingcalc where you will find a calculator which allows
you to pick up to 14 different craftable items and how many of each you want, it will then
give you a breakdown of the base resources required to build them as well as the total
for all selected blueprints.
For building it, ensure you put one of the domes on top of the default circular building
and use the ladder to access it.
Put the Galactic Trade Terminal inside the default building then place the other 12 bio-domes
freestanding within the circular base building restriction with a door each for access.
Plant your Solar Vine outside and everything else in the domes, and be sure to consider
when planting which crops you'll be farming the most as far as placement goes, Frostwort
will be harvested every 15 minutes, Gamma Weed, Coprite and Star Bulb every 30 with
Echinocactus and Solar Vine only once per cycle.
Now the farm is sorted let's move on to the gases.
<Gases>
Gases can be obtained in multiple ways.
You can buy them from traders at trading posts or the Galactic Trade Terminals in your base,
at a Trading Post or randomly on the planet but not from Space Stations.
You can also harvest them as a secondary resource from specific flora or the most consistent
method, farm it via Atmosphere Harvesters.
For this system we will be purely Farming via Atmosphere Harvesters, I had originally
planned to gain some from flora when collecting the Carbon needed, but this method proved
unsuccessful and overly complicated opting for a planet with a far more dense forest
for the carbon harvesting.
The gases required to build 26.5 Stasis Devices are substantial, you need 13,250 of all 3
gases.
Each Atmosphere Harvester will produce a maximum of 250 of the respective gas, this takes 1
hour to gather.
You will need to build 81 Atmosphere Harvesters, these will be harvested twice throughout the
farming schedule, you could do it once, but that would be almost double the require harvesters
and it is kinda insane how many you already need.
So, for Radon, you will need to place 27 Atmosphere Harvesters in sets of 3 on the following 9
worlds, if you are not in Euclid, these just need to be Irradiated or Frozen worlds.
Despite what the Wiki suggests, they will not fill up at different speeds relating to
where they are placed, so just place them right by the portal for a speedy harvest and
recharge.
Also, in case you are curious about why it is sets of 3, Atmosphere Harvesters are limited,
to 3 per planet.
For Sulphurine, you need 27 placed in sets of 3 over these 9 addresses, If you are not
in Euclid, you are looking for Hot or Barren worlds, remember that Barren and Dead are
very different, if it has Cactus Flesh in the scan, it is Barren.
Then for Nitrogen, you need a further 27 spread in sets of 3 over these 9 addresses, and if
you are not in Euclid, you are looking for Lush or Toxic planets.
These Harvesters do require charging, and the charge will last one hour so they need
to be charged every time you harvest.
Using Plutonium only requires 50 to fully charge, this makes things nice and easy, and
this fuel can be gathered in seconds while also gathering the Heridium which we will
cover in the final gathering section.
This huge amount of Atmosphere Harvesters as you can imagine will be incredibly expensive
to build in the first place and to build them you will need the following items.
81x Heat Capacitors 162x Acid
& 162x Voltaic Cells
You can gather the Heat Capacitors easily if you are on PC and in Euclid as with the
Acid also by visiting the farms I built specifically for this purpose, they are listed in the description
and specifically make Acid and Heat Capacitors, it won't take you long to get them all that
way as you can harvest enough for 28 each time.
If you are not on PC or in Euclid, it still isn't too difficult as the Farmers Market
found at xainesworld.com/nmsfarmersmarket hosts a vast database of player farms and
bases over both platforms and multiple galaxies and game modes, I'm still looking for more
farms to add to it all the time so please add yours if you haven't already to help out
your fellow travellers.
The Marrow Bulb can be harvested fairly easily using a certain tactic.
You build an exocraft pad and drive your exocraft through the cave systems destroying all but
the marrow bulbs as you drive, this makes it super easy to harvest them.
If you're looking for a good planet to farm them you can find one in the list at xainesworld.com/rareresources
it only requires 2 glyphs to dial so is very accessible.
If you have all the glyphs you can find far greater amounts of Marrow Bulbs on my new
home planet, both sides and behind the portal is a vast network of closed and open cave
systems, you could quite easily gather a few hundred voltaic cells worth in a few hours.
If you are not in Euclid, just find a planet with large open cave systems, it makes it
far easier to harvest.
And that is the gases sorted, we'll go over the schedule for farming everything at the
end, but next is the Metals.
<Metals>
There are only 3 of these needed, and the best and most consistent way to gather them
is via the Autonomous Mining Units.
We need far less of these than the gases and are a little cheaper to build.
We need for 26.5 Stasis Devices, 3313 Gold, Emeril and Iridium
As this is so small and to conserve time while harvesting as well as the nature of Autonomous
Mining Units, we will only harvest and recharge these once per Cycle, so you require 14 Autonomous
Mining Units for each of the 3 resources.
With a total of 42 Autonomous Mining Units required, the resources need to craft them
are far less horrendous than the Atmosphere Harvesters.
You need a total of 42 Heat Capacitors, 84 Lubricant and 84 Voltaic Cells
As with the Harvesters, there is a base I built specifically for this purpose, that
base creates 14 Heat Capacitors and 22 Lubricant per harvest and will get you up and running
in no time.
You can find the addresses on screen now for planets which have the resources in the Resource
Deposit form needed, and you may notice if you look hard that these 2 planets are on
the Atmosphere Harvester lists, this is simply an efficiency move, and is set in the schedule
to just have 2 fewer addresses to dial and visit.
As before these are for Euclid, so if you are in a different galaxy, just look for planets
which have Gold, Iridium and Emeril in the large tall block form or the concaved ground
pit form, close to the gate.
Autonomous Mining Units are limited to 5 per region, now I have confirmed that these are
planetary regions such as the regions that limit Signal Scanners.
If you've ever played around with Signal Scanners you'll know these regions are both static
and quite small cubes of space, essentially the systems or planets coordinates, so on
these deposits, especially the rounded deposits, you can fit far more than 5, 20 is quite easy
with a potential 40 on the cylindrical resource deposit structures.
With this in mind, you should try to place them very close together as you can see on
screen now, starting with corners if a cubed deposit due to the likely hood of it crossing
multiple regions, I suspect the cuboid deposits may spawn in accordance to the regions while
the circular overlap a little more making them slightly more viable for multiple sets
of units.
Another thing I noticed during my testing is that sometimes the mining units in certain
places will display and produce heridium even though it is on something else, if this happens,
you should harvest the item and refuel then see if it changes to the correct material
and not do what I did with the first lot and destroy several and replace elsewhere, this
is an expensive mistake and the last resort.
These Autonomous Mining Units will of course also need fueling like the Atmosphere Harvesters,
this will be addressed next along with the fuel for the Harvesters.
And on that note, let's cover the last few resources needed to craft your Stasis Devices.
<Mining & Buying the Rest>
Ok, so all we have left to account for is 3313 Iron, 3313 Heridium, 7150 to 7425 Carbon
and the 10,450 to 10,900 Plutonium needed to fuel the Atmosphere Harvesters, Autonomous
Mining Units & the Ship getting from base to portal.
The Heridium and Plutonium are super simple, you should visit some Oppulent and Affluent
systems that sell large amounts of Plutonium and Heridium, and teleport home to build those
up in your Teleport List in your base.
You should be looking for Space Stations that sell 4000 or so Plutonium at any one time,
3000 is acceptable but if all are around 4k, you will only need to visit 3 of them instead
of 4 saving you a little time.
Use these to teleport between, to very easily gather that 3313 Heridium, and also quite
easily gather the Plutonium required for fuel.
The Heridium will likely be buyable in a single purchase, the Plutonium will require visiting
all or most of them.
Also be sure when refuelling the Units and Harvesters that you always fill them in a
single click, don't use 39 then top it up, they will glitch that way and run out of energy
before completing the stack putting you way behind schedule.
The fact that they need 50 and Plutonium stacks in a multiple of 50 makes it super easy to
just use even stacks to refuel.
The Iron cannot be bought in sufficient quantities in most cases, so for this, there is ample
time in the schedule to harvest it manually.
For those that do not have access to remotely decent amounts of iron at or near their base,
you can find on screen now an address in Euclid that has lots of iron right by the gate.
Iron is not at all hard to come by, but occasionally there are planets with patches of hardly any.
The Carbon is a nice simple one that can be gathered on the world addressed here, which
again is an Atmosphere Harvester world, but when you go there for the Carbon, you will
not harvest the Harvester due to the constraints of the schedule.
Though if you are only doing a single cycle at that time, then the Harvesters can be emptied,
at that time.
The Iron and Carbon harvesting will require charging of your multi-tool, this has been
accounted for to a certain extent, 100 of the plutonium bought earlier is for this purpose
so if you go over, you will require more, but this build has a trading terminal so this
shouldn't be a problem.
Along the same lines, if you require extra trips to the portal such as to go to a different
planet for your iron, you will need an extra 100 Plutonium for the there and back trip.
And there you have it, all the resources covered.
All that's left is to look at the schedule breakdown of when to do what.
<Schedule>
An endeavour such as this is best approached like a military operation, as such a schedule
is needed to run smoothly, you are, of course, free to do it how you wish but this schedule
has been timed well and tested to give you time to perform each task and stay within
the limits of the growing crops duration.
Inventory management is a huge part of this, you will want to have your hauler active,
as large as possible, I use my 48 slot hauler which has the maximum of 43 slots free, you
should have your exosuit and cargo slots maxed also at 48 slots in your exosuit and 25 slots
in your exosuit cargo.
If you are doing multiples of the schedule you will want to keep some space in your freighter
also to send the completed Stasis Devices, freeing up space to continue another cycle.
Crafting should take place in your ship unless you run out of room in which case craft in
exosuit and transfer to the ship before continuing.
This doesn't require you to be next to it and can use the resources from both your exosuit
and ship in spite of the proximity.
This will also save you time in transferring after.
The schedule is split up into 15 minute sections to accommodate the harvesting, having said
that, the game timer acts strangely, due to portal and teleport travel, the game does
not continue the timer when in any kind of portal or teleportation loading and as such
while the overall growth times are 2 hours, this schedule actually covers a timeframe
of up to 3 hours dependant on the system you are playing on, this is due to the speed of
your PC or PS4 dictating the length of the loading.
That is why at the beginning I did not give an exact units per hour and instead a range,
a mixture of the distance of your base from the portal, the level and upgrades on your
multi-tool, your computer specs and whether you suffer from the double glyph bug will
all have an effect on the length of time this cycle takes.
It is also fully modular and built in such a way to accommodate an infinite amount of
cycles in a row.
As the haul of Stasis Devices is 26.5, the first cycle will net you 26 full devices and
the second 27, because of this it is slightly different each time, and so any differences
are noted in parenthesis, so anything in parenthesis is specifically for the second cycle in a
row, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and so on, though once you hit the 8th you've made enough to
max your units.

I'm not going to lie, it's a tight schedule, but if you stick to it, it is quite achievable
to hit the cap in a 2 fairly monstrous sessions.
Though please do take breaks, it is likely better for your health to take a break between
each cycle & good luck with your crazy unit making endeavour.
It is perfectly acceptable to use my farm base if you are on PC, Normal and in Euclid
as your source of the crops, it is only 1 minute 30 seconds from the portal so is ideal
for this purpose, though as always, please do not claim a base on my planet or in my
system as it will override my base being seen by other people, this goes for all player
bases.
Various links and more can be found in the description to aid you in this with stuff
like downloads of .txt files of the schedule and portal list, I've made them into an image
to so you can just fullscreen it on another device while playing, the video of my first
test of the original schedule which showed me the problems to fix for this finished draft
etc etc.
