Industrial Modules

By
Scott Peers

This page details all of the Industrial Modules which can be purchased from the Construction Research Station on board the Space Anomaly in No Man’s Sky. We’ll include a brief overview of what each module is used for, and the materials required to construct them.

All Base Industrial Modules from the Construction Research Station

The below table lists all of the Industrial Modules from the Construction Research Station on board the Space Anomaly. Almost all of these are related to the construction of a Power Grid, with three primary power generators in the form of a Biofuel Reactor, Solar Panel, and Electromagnetic Generator. In addition, there are various forms of switches which can be used to control the flow of power according to your preferences, and Electrical Wiring which connects generators to specific items that require power. The other main types of item here are the Gas Extractor and the Mineral Extractor, both of which can be constructed inside a base or outpost to farm specific resources. The Supply Depot and Supply Pipe can be used to make this process all the more efficient, while increasing storage capacity for extracted materials.

If you’re looking for other types of base technology modules, see our pages on them here:
