No Man’s Sky: Galactic Economy Materials

NOTE UPDATE RELATED TO RELEASE OF NEXT:  The NEXT update ruined most of this. Parts no longer exist, new parts now exist, some stuff was renamed, and some of it you can now manufacture on your own. You are also less likely to get a mission where you have to purchase one of these items. Since the NEXT release, the overwhelming majority of “acquire” missions have been fulfilled by mining. “Delivery” mission you are given the part and asked to deliver it in a different system.

One thing you’ll definitely need and will come in handy is the refiner recipe page that’s being maintained over gamepedia:

ORIGINAL ARTICLE, WHICH IS NOW 50%+ IRRELEVANT:

In the latest No Man’s Sky update, there is a galactic economy. You can look for systems where your materials will sell for more or systems where you can buy cheaper. That is all fun and games, but the real reason to know this stuff is because you have to locate them during missions and deliver them to customers. You have to install the economy scanner in order to use the filter (you can purchase it from nanite traders in certain space stations).

Economy filter turned on in the galaxy view.

It took me days to go through all of these because I got tired of looking for them one-by-one. So I went to every single color-type (each type of economy is color-coded, just use the filter in the galaxy view to see the economy colors) and identifying all four sub-types within the man types.

These items can be obtained at either space stations or trading posts. If you don’t find it at the space station, then try the trading post. Keep an eye on the status of the economy (failed, average, moderate, opulent, etc.) as it will let you know how likely you are to find these items (and quantity) in each system’s economy. It should be noted that it is possible I missed something. If you find an items that’s sold in one of the economies, let me know and I’ll update the list!
