Paraffinium is one of the resources you need to build an Exocraft inNo Man’s Sky.Exocrafts make exploring planetsmuch faster and easier as they are fast, maneuverable, and can climb incredibly steep hills, so you want to start farming Paraffinium as soon as possible, as it is a significant quality of life improvement for all of your exploration needs.
Here’s a complete guide about all the methods for acquiring Paraffinium inNo Man’s Skyso that you will be able to build an Exocraft sooner rather than later.
How to Get Paraffinium in No Man’s Sky
Mine it on Lush Planets
Paraffinium appears onlush/topical planetsinNo Man’s Sky. Head to space, aim at a planet and use the scanner to reveal the planet’s details (you’re able to also inspect planets in the Discoveries tab).Tropical Planet,Humid Planet,Viridescent Planet, and similar terms describe the planet type you need. You can also find Paraffinium in the list of resources available on that planet.
Land on the lush planet and use the Analysis Visor to find the Paraffinium deposit. Head to the deposit and mine it using the Terrain Manipulator on your Multi-Tool. One deposit, on average, nets around 200 Paraffinium.
Buy it From the Galactic Trade Terminal or Other Pilots
Much like other resources, you can buy Paraffinium from theGalactic Trade Terminals. The price varies depending on the system’s economy, but you can expect topay around 80-90 Unitsper unit of Paraffinium.
Paraffinium’s (and any other resource’s) availability at the Galactic Trade Terminal depends on your difficulty settings.
Alternatively, you can occasionallyfind other pilotsat the space station selling Paraffinium and other resources, so make sure to check them while you’re there.
Craft it in the Refiner
If you’re not in the proximity of a lush planet or a space station, you cancraft Paraffinium using a Refinerand accessible resources. Some of these resources are easily obtainable, allowing you to get Paraffinium without too much traveling.
