How this handbook works

Guides are organised hub-and-spoke. Each system has a hub page that orients you and links out to the specifics, so you can start broad and drill in rather than landing on a page that assumes you already know the vocabulary.

No Man’s Sky changes with every update, and a lot of the advice circulating online was written against builds from 2024 or earlier. Every guide here carries the date it was last verified. Where a number could not be confirmed against a source, the page says so rather than presenting a guess as a fact.
