All you need is a refiner, four Indium, and four Chromatic Metals to start. There is one exploit that was found to trivialize your Chromatic Metal needs by giving you an infinite source. The rarer the metal you use in the process, from Copper to Indium, the more Chromatic Metals you get, so prioritize the harder to get stuff. Use your ship to scan more of the environment at once, and set up multiple refiners to speed up the process. Just be sure to remember to actually collect the metals before you leave.įarming Chromatic Metal isn’t the fastest process in the world, but all comes down to tracking down one of those metals previously listed in as big of a deposit as possible. Just throw in your metal on the left hand side, put in either Carbon or Condensed Carbon on top, and you’ll start pumping out Chromatic Metal. Add the Copper, or whichever material you have, add some fuel, and start crafting.Open the Equipment section of the build menu and plop one down.

You should already have one of these, but in the rare instance you don’t, they’re built from one metal plating (crafted from 50 Ferrite Dust), and 30 Oxygen. Just flip on your Analysis Visor and scan the landscape for resources to mine, and use your Terrain Manipulator to get at those sweet metals. Because Copper shows up most often, you’ll likely be able to get a ton of it easiest of those listed. Mine a load of Copper, Cadmium, Emeril, or Indium.Crafting is by far the most efficient, and reliable, way to keep your stocks high. The only ways to get it are through crafting or purchasing it, although you might get lucky and find it in a random container. The unfortunate part of Chromatic Metal is that you can’t come across it in any natural source in the universe. Basically, this is something you will want to be stocked up on at all times in No Man’s Sky.
