No Man's Sky Player Shows How Cooking Can Help Fans Get…

There are countless ways to make money in the universe of No Man's Sky, but one fan recently demonstrated how effective cooked products can be at boosting a multi-tool's scanner stats to ensure massive rewards while exploring. There's not necessarily a single most efficient way of earning units in No Man's Sky, and although the construction of huge mining bases can score large amounts of cash in the long run, virtually any play style can prove rewarding as long as players know what they're doing.

Units present the standard galactic currency in the No Man's Sky universe, and can be used for most purchases ranging from simple resources to entire starships. Players will find units useful in expanding and upgrading their inventories so that they can carry more stuff around, though these upgrades tend to get exponentially more costly as an inventory gets larger. Some of the best ways of making money fast in No Man's Sky include trading and selling goods at high profits in thriving economies, selling rare treasures found across the universe, completing bounties and missions, or simply scanning undiscovered plants, creatures, and rocks to get paid.

Though it might be a surprise to some, that last method can be one of the most reliable and easy ways to rake it in, and one No Man's Sky fan known as gypsy_danger007 has demonstrated how cooking up certain foods can make exploring in No Man's Sky even more lucrative. As it turns out, cooking up some anomalous doughnuts can amplify the rewards gained by scanning creatures by over 6,400%. Ingesting these snacks in addition to the scanner upgrades installed in their royal multi-tool even allowed this particular player to boost their fauna scan rewards by a whopping 650,307% percent, averaging them between 9 million and 30 million units per creature scanned.

How To Make Anomalous Doughnuts In No Man's Sky

While Anomalous Doughnuts aren't the simplest of things to craft in No Man's Sky, they can still be made without too much effort. Players will first need to mix up different butters to make clarified oil, and combine that with dough and processed sugar to cook up some lumpen doughnuts. These will then need to be combined with anomalous jam - a substance that can be easily created with processed sugar and hexaberries - to produce anomalous doughnuts.

Cooking up these treats in a Nutrient Processor only requires some relatively simple ingredients, but players should make sure to throw this food into their exosuits' Nutrient Ingestor to reap the scanning bonus, as consuming the doughnuts via the menu will only provide a brief jetpack boost.

Cooking food in No Man's Sky has always been profitable, albeit in a slightly different way. Any sort of cooked food can typically be sold at quite high prices at most shops and trade terminals, but food can also be traded with Iteration: Cronus aboard the Space Anomaly in exchange for Nanites, the other primary currency in No Man's Sky, which can be used to buy technology upgrades.
