Technology Modules

This page details all of the Technology 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 Technology Modules from the Construction Research Station¶

The below table lists all of the Technology Modules from the Construction Research Station on board the Space Anomaly. Although they’re all lumped into the same category in game, the list comprises a number of different technology types including various production items such as the Nutrient Processor, refiners, and resource extractors, utility items such as the Base Teleport Module, Appearance Modifier and Galactic Trade Terminal, and useful Exosuit recharge units such as the Health Station and Hazard Protection Unit. There are also more miscellaneous items such as the Noise Box, ByteBeat Device, and Sphere Creator which have no obvious intended use, but can be used to enrich the experience in your base.
