As I stepped into the twilight of a forgotten planet, remnants of industrial waste sprawled across the horizon like scars on the land. The air rippled with the tension of unprocessed debris, each piece a story of neglect waiting for redemption. It was here that I discovered the Industrial Cleanup, a mission in No Man’s Sky that not only offered hope for the environment but also a way to test your skills like never before.
With the release of the Remnant update, new items have surfaced, promising to transform how we tackle industrial waste. For newcomers, reaching the Anomaly is your first step, where you must secure your Exocraft. But for those already prepared, let’s dive right into the journey ahead.
The Anomaly: Gateway to New Opportunities
Your quest kicks off at the Anomaly. Here, amidst the swirling colors and bustling traders, an expedition awaits—but let’s set that aside. Instead, head left from the Nexus, where traders beckon with a trove of secrets and tools to aid you on your path.
Three blueprints await your acquisition:
- Cyclops Scope
- Excavation Blade
- Gravitino Coil
Once you gather these, return to your base. It’s time to equip your Colossus with the Cyclops Scope and Excavation Blade, while the Gravitino Coil finds its place in your multi-tool.
Waste Not, Want Not: Tracking Down Industrial Waste
Your next mission? Process five units of high-value waste. Fortunately, a marker will guide you, and your Colossus can scan for waste. I often find the most valuable debris cluttering planets rich with Sentinels and salvage.
Now, let’s locate a Waste Processing Plant. It may lie in a different system, but you’ll find it marked on your map. Test your Gravitino Coil there, collecting the waste to feed into the machinery. Completing this step rewards you with the Flatbed Chassis Module, a pivotal upgrade.
Customizing Your Colossus: Embrace the Power of Waste Management
You’ve now got the tools to personalize your Colossus. The Flatbed opens new possibilities, allowing you to transport a variety of items. Drive your Colossus to the designated area at the plant with your cargo onboard. Carefully unload the materials, ensuring all waste is processed together.
Now, the real challenge lies ahead. You need to find and process specific quantities of industrial waste. Use your Colossus’s scanning capabilities to locate more, then transport it back to the plant. Once you’ve collected the required amounts, return and offload the materials. Interact with the terminal to finalize the processing stage, sealing your place as an environmental hero.
Will your efforts inspire others to join the cleanup, or will this quest leave you pondering the deeper link between industry and ecology?
