Exocrafts are vehicles that travelers can deploy to the planets of No Man’s Sky to help navigate the environment. Here’s how to unlock and craft each of them.
There are countless galaxies that travelers can explore in No Man’s Sky, and in these galaxies are many other unique planets. Filled with precious minerals and resources, players will spend a lot of time roaming the planets to craft more gear and advance the story of the game. However, venturing long distances on foot can be time consuming. This is where Exocrafts come in.
Exocrafts are vehicles travelers can deploy to planets to travel further on their adventures and one of the many new features the developers have added since the game’s initial launch. There are 6 in total, each with its own usefulness, perks, and upgrades to aid the player’s intergalactic efforts. This guide will teach players how to unlock each Exocraft and the materials needed to create them.
Unlock Exocrafts and their Geobays
In order to summon an exocraft, their respective geobay must be built, which serves as a landing pad for each vehicle. To unlock them, head to the Space Anomaly Construction Resource Terminal and switch to the Transport Mod option, where all exocrafts are displayed. Each type of geobay is purchased using salvage data obtained by discovering technology buried on various planets. The Roamer is the first exocraft available, and once obtained, the other 5 will become purchasable. After placing the geo-bay on a planet, travelers can then summon their exocraft to roam the intergalactic landscapes in search of resources. Each exocraft requires different crafting materials to craft, so here is a list of the resources players need to collect and the perks of having each vehicle.
