Lay out your multi-tool to exploit adjacency bonuses wherever possible. Your starting tool, the Experiment C6/4, has only five slots, but as soon as you get off your first planet, you have opportunities to acquire a substantially better model. Repairing the scanner and analysis visor on your starting multi-tool is cheap and beneficial enough to be absolutely worthwhile, but we suggest holding off on installing new Companion Units. More slots means more places to install new upgrades (or “Companion Units” on your tool), which is the only way a tool or ship improves its performance. With multi-tools (and ships), there’s only one real measure by which to say one is better than another, and that’s the number of slots they each have. No Man's Sky: Where to get a better multi-tool We could hold out for better prices, but between the gold and the emeril, this is still more than 400,000 units for about 30 minutes’ mining. It’s the nature of a vast, procedurally generated universe that we can’t recommend a specific, high-yield farming spot, but because No Man’s Sky’s procedural generation does follow certain rules, we can suggest a few “best practice” tips for sniffing out resource caches. You can acquire them directly by mining planets, or you can buy them on the galactic market, which means you need money. Now that you understand what resources are available in No Man’s Sky, it’s time to discuss how to collect them so you can make progress.
