Resource Riches of No Man’s Sky

When you scan a planet from space with your ship’s scanners, the game reveals a number of facts and figures about the local flora and fauna found on that planet.

Do keep in mind that not every planet will reveal such information if you put down on it.

However, if you do manage to know information regarding the flora and fauna of a specific planet then you should know that there is a deeper, and much more useful, statistic that most No Man’s Sky player miss out on.

That figure is the “resource richness” of the planet in question. Sometimes scanners will point out to No Man’s Sky players if some undiscovered worlds are Resource Rich or not.

When you do happen to find a planet that is identified as a resource rich planet then know that theses planets are absolutely brimming with minerals and rare materials.

Along with that, planets which are labeled as resource rich as made-to-ordered for mining.

All of that means that if you land on a “resource rich” planet then you can expect more reselling of the materials you end up collecting which would result in faster earnings.
