Money's tight in No Man's Sky. You've got ships to buy, new Exosuit expansions to pay for - not to mention a hungry pet that needs feeding. Okay, well you can feed your pet with some random plantlife you find nearby, but the point remains: if you want to do well in No Man's Sky, you're going to need to earn some cash.


Fortunately, there are a pretty wide range of methods for doing so. Money - referred to in-game as Units - can be earned through mining, trading, piracy, and even botany in No Man's Sky. and as such there's a fair bit of confusing or contradictory advice over how best to go about earning it, particularly when you want to do so as quickly or efficiently as possible.


On this page, we'll hope to clear some of that up, through an explanation of what we believe to be the fastest method for earning large sums of money quickly, as well as a summary of all of the other methods and pieces of advice for bringing home the space-bacon.
