No Man's Sky: How to Get Paraffinium



Paraffinium is one of the resources you need to build an Exocraft in No Man’s Sky. Exocrafts make exploring planets much faster and easier as they are fast, maneuverable, and can climb incredibly steep hills, so you want to start farming Paraffinium as soon as possible, as it is a significant quality of life improvement for all of your exploration needs.




Here’s a complete guide about all the methods for acquiring Paraffinium in No Man’s Sky so that you will be able to build an Exocraft sooner rather than later.

How to Get Paraffinium in No Man’s Sky

Mine it on Lush Planets

Paraffinium appears on lush/topical planets in No Man’s Sky. Head to space, aim at a planet and use the scanner to reveal the planet’s details (you can also inspect planets in the Discoveries tab). Tropical Planet, Humid Planet, Viridescent Planet, and similar terms describe the planet type you need. You can also find Paraffinium in the list of resources available on that planet.

Land on the lush planet and use the Analysis Visor to find the Paraffinium deposit. Head to the deposit and mine it using the Terrain Manipulator on your Multi-Tool. One deposit, on average, nets around 200 Paraffinium.


Buy it From the Galactic Trade Terminal or Other Pilots

Much like other resources, you can buy Paraffinium from the Galactic Trade Terminals. The price varies depending on the system’s economy, but you can expect to pay around 80-90 Units per unit of Paraffinium.

Paraffinium’s (and any other resource’s) availability at the Galactic Trade Terminal depends on your difficulty settings.

Alternatively, you can occasionally find other pilots at the space station selling Paraffinium and other resources, so make sure to check them while you’re there.

Craft it in the Refiner

If you’re not in the proximity of a lush planet or a space station, you can craft Paraffinium using a Refiner and accessible resources. Some of these resources are easily obtainable, allowing you to get Paraffinium without too much traveling.

Here are all Paraffinium crafting recipes in No Man’s Sky:

  • 1 Silver + 1 Oxygen
  • 2 Pyrite + 1 Ferrite Dust
  • 2 Pyrite + 1 Pure Ferrite
  • 1 Sulphurine + 1 Ferrite Dust
  • 1 Sulphurine + 1 Pure Ferrite
  • 1 Sulphurine + 1 Magnetised Ferrite
