No Man’s Sky Guide: Effective Ways to Acquire Sulphurine

In No Man’s Sky, gases serve as a specialized resource, often overlooked by players. However, for those seeking particular gases, Sulphurine presents a unique challenge due to its specific planetary locations.

How to Obtain Sulphurine in No Man’s Sky

Extracting Sulphurine

Sulphurine can primarily be found on Scorched and Desert planets. To efficiently harvest this gas, you can employ either an Atmosphere Harvester or a Gas Extractor. The Atmosphere Harvester is particularly user-friendly: simply construct and position it on the ground as you would with a Refiner, without needing to establish a base. This tool operates on Carbon as fuel, allowing you to collect Sulphurine passively over time.

If you require a steady supply of Sulphurine, consider investing in a Gas Extractor. This automated device continuously collects gas while you focus on other tasks. To set it up, locate a Sulphurine hotspot on a Desert or Scorched planet using your Analysis Visor. Then, build a base in proximity to the hotspot and install the Gas Extractor. While it requires some preparation, the long-term benefits make it a worthwhile endeavor.

For enhanced storage options, connect the Gas Extractor to Supply Depots using Supply Pipes, streamlining your resource management.

Refining Sulphurine

If you find yourself without access to Scorched or Desert planets, you can also create Sulphurine using Nitrogen, which can be harvested from Toxic and Lush planets. Use similar harvesting methods as employed for Sulphurine.

Here are the recipes for refining Sulphurine:

3 Nitrogen
1 Nitrogen + 1 Oxygen
1 Nitrogen + 1 Chromatic Metal

Keep in mind that relying solely on Nitrogen for Sulphurine refinement can be costly. Supplement your resources with Oxygen or Chromatic Metal, which are generally more abundant.

How to Utilize Sulphurine in No Man’s Sky

Sulphurine predominantly serves as a crafting ingredient for various resources and a few tradeable items that can generate Units. However, it’s worth noting that most resources requiring Sulphurine can be found throughout the game, so unless you’re aiming to earn extra Units or need it for a specific mission, its overall utility may be limited.

Here’s a list of items you can craft using Sulphurine:
