In No Man’s Sky, refining is a process of combining more than one ingredient to produce a more condensed or powerful material with the use of a refiner. Refined materials have the benefit of being more space-efficient and requiring less quantity for recharging. Nonetheless, there is a drawback to refining as it can be a time-consuming process that may also require additional fuel.
If you’re wondering about every possible refiner recipe in No Man’s Sky, then we’ve got you covered.
