How to visit a red star system in No Man's Sky

No Man'south Sky has four principal star organisation types based on the color of the star they're orbiting: yellow, ruby, bluish, and greenish. Each has differing chances of hosting sure types of planets and may fifty-fifty be a unique organization, such as an abandoned arrangement. However, you tin can't travel to each one without a specific tool. This guide will explain how to visit red star systems and what they might hold.

Yous'll need a Cadmium Drive before you can visit a carmine star organisation. This is an improver for your starship'due south warp drive that specifically allows you to travel to ruby star systems. Cadmium is the master resource you'll find in these systems, hence the bulldoze name, but yous can also pick up slightly rarer resources than y'all'll observe in other systems. You can install this drive alongside your standard warp bulldoze, meaning you'll be able to travel to yellow and cherry-red star systems, whichever one you feel like visiting side by side. You won't be able to install this drive without a blueprint, though, and for that, yous'll demand assist.

There are ii ways to obtain a Cadmium Bulldoze. The first is to buy the blueprint and arts and crafts it for your starship. You tin buy the blueprint from diverse vendors in the game. Withal, considering they're procedurally generated, there's only one guaranteed merchant who will always sell you the blueprint: the starship merchant on the Anomaly.

Y'all can summon the Bibelot anywhere you are in No Human'due south Heaven. First, you'll need to progress the start few steps of the Artemis questline. One time you're at the indicate when the Anomaly has appeared, yous'll be able to summon information technology at will. If you're playing on a save file from an Expedition, you should be able to summon the Anomaly already. You'll find the starship vendor at the superlative of the stairs in the room with all the other design vendors.

The second way to acquire a Cadmium Bulldoze is to be incredibly lucky and find a crashed starship with one already installed. You lot can then repair the starship and switch it to your primary vehicle. From then on, y'all'll be able to warp to cherry-red star systems without having to craft and install the new bulldoze.

How to craft a Cadmium Drive

Once you've got the blueprints for the bulldoze, you lot'll need to actually craft it. For this, yous need the following.

250 Chromatic Metal
3 Wiring Loom

Y'all can refine Ferrite Dust into Chromatic Metal on pretty much any planet. You need to build a Refiner, add some fuel and the Ferrite Dust, and let the machine practise its work. Wiring Loom is piece of cake to buy, and you lot can find it in all Space Stations. Fly to the one in the organisation you're in and purchase it from the Galactic Terminal. With both of these materials in manus, you can craft and install the new drive into your starship. Then you're ready to visit some red star systems.
