The Hyperdrive is a vital technology in No Man’s Sky and with the Omega Expedition, you cannot continue without having this. It’s also part of the initial missions in order to open the gateway to long-distance exploration around the universe. Veterans will find this easy to do, but if you’re not, here we go.
How To Find Hyperdrive
In the non-expedition mode, the game will easily guide you towards acquiring the materials in the game. You will typically land on a favorable planet to mine for the materials before crafting them easily. Hyperdrive can be easily crafted or looted from abandoned ships you can find on planets.
SIDE NOTE: We have a complete guide which covers everything you’ll need to know about the Omega Update of NMS! Make sure to check it out for more valuable info.
Alternatively, before starting an expedition, you can also transfer the technology over. With that said, we suggest you transfer more important, hard-to-come-by technologies instead. You can also copy your ship for the expedition to avoid having to craft everything from scratch.
Hyperdrive plan is only acquired after you finished your Homecoming Mission. This is a simple mission where you have to establish a base by building the Base Computer anywhere you want.
Once you do, claim the reward from your Interstellar Milestone called Homecoming. Now you can initiate installation by pressing any black space in your Technology slot on the ship. (Remember, ship, not your Exosuit!)
You need 125 Chromatic Metals and 5 Microprocessor. You can make Chromatic Metals using the Refiner from Copper. Microprocessors can also be crafted, but you need to unlock the blueprint first. It’s one of the most basic components in crafting other technologies, so you’re going to have to unlock this sooner or later.
You can also purchase Microprocessor from the Trade Terminal at the Space Station.
And that’s how you can get the Hyperdrive in No Man’s Sky: Omega. Having problems with cash, materials, and other stuff? Check out this guide to get the best start in the newest Omega Expedition!
