Crafting & Refining — No Man's Sky Guide

Crafting and refining are core mechanics in No Man's Sky, allowing players to create new items and process raw materials. While specific recipes and refining processes are not detailed here, the game features a "Wonders Catalogue" that tracks discoveries, including those related to crafting and refining, from the Voyagers update (Update 6.00) onwards.

The Wonders Catalogue is a game mechanic found within the Catalogue & Guide section of the in-game menu. It records information about rare and unusual discoveries made by the player. This catalogue only documents encountered values and does not trace back further than update 3.30 (Expeditions) or June of 2021. Any records from before this date are not stored and require revisiting to be cataloged.

For planets, the catalogue records encountered weather conditions, and for temperatures, it notes observed values like a midnight blizzard or a midday firestorm.
