No Man’s Skyis an ever-evolving, fluid universe that’s constantly being iterated and expanded upon. This constant refreshing and expansion of the universe keeps all of it feeling fresh, and ensures you’ve often got new moving parts to keep track of.
One of those moving parts is blueprints, and there are a ton of them to keep track of. Crafting Heat Capacitors requires having the blueprint to do so, but it isn’t immediately obvious how to grab the blueprint for it. We’ll cover how to grab the blueprint for Heat Capacitors, how to get the materials necessary once you have the blueprint, and what Heat Capacitors are used for.
Where To Get The Heat Capacitor Blueprint
To get theHeat Capacitorblueprint, you’re going to need tohead to the Anomaly.
Once in the Anomaly,head to the roomall the wayin the back, on thesecond floor. This room contains multiple vendors, all offering blueprints for different facets of the game.
Synthesis Laboratory
The vendor we’re going to need is called theSynthesis Laboratory, and it’s located on theright side of the room, in-between the Exocraft Research andMulti-Tool Researchvendors. You’ll need to toggle to theValuable Products tabof Product Recipes in the Synthesis Laboratory, and on the left side of the third row, you’ll find the Heat Capacitoravailable for250 Nanite Clusters.
How To Get Nanite Clusters
There are aplethora of waysto obtainNanite Clusters. Some of theeasiest waysto obtain them include:
How To Craft A Heat Capacitor
Once you’ve got the blueprint for a Heat Capacitor, you cancraft one in your inventory with Solanium and Frost Crystals.
200 Solanium + 100 Frost Crystals
How To Find Solanium
Solaniumisonly present on planets that have a very hot climate. A hot climate doesn’t guarantee the presence of Solanium (or Solar Vines, which are whatSolanium are harvested from), but you won’t find Solanium without it.
You can see whether aplanet has Solanium presenton itfrom spacebyscanning it. This is going to show the primary resources available on it, and will help expedite your search.
In order to harvest Solanium from Solar Vines, you’ll need a Haz-Mat Gauntlet installed in your Exo-Suit.
The Haz-Mat Gauntlet blueprint can be purchased in the Anomaly from the Exosuit Research vendor, and requires 50 Chromatic Metal and 20 Sodium Nitrate to craft.
How To Find Frost Crystals
Frost Crystalsrequire finding a Frostwort plant, and itthrives in the opposite situation of Solanium: cold climates. Like Solanium, harvesting Frost Crystals is going torequire a Haz-Mat Gauntletinstalled in your Exosuit.
Both Solanium and Frost Crystals can begrown and harvested in your base, as well.
If you’ve done much exploring, it’s likely you’ve already found planets that contain both Solanium and Frost Crystals. Navigate to your Discoveries tab, and inspect all the planets you’ve previously visited/scanned.
Once you find a planet that has what you need, select ‘Set Waypoint’ when hovering over the system, and travel to that system from your Galactic Map.
What Are Heat Capacitors Used For?
Heat Capacitors areused in Planetary Settlement jobs, and they’re also used in thecrafting recipeforCircuit Boards, alongside Poly Fiber.
Circuit Board
Heat Capacitor + Poly Fiber
Aside from creating Circuit Boards and when used in Planetary Settlements, there isn’t going to be much specific need for Heat Capacitors.
But, Heat Capacitors do you a default value of 180,000 Units. They are particularly easy to make once you’re farming and cultivating them at your base regularly, making them aneasy way to build up some passive income.
If combined with creating Poly Fiber, you can easily create a supply of Circuit Boards to sell, which are valued at 916,250 Units each.
