No Man’s Sky: How to get Deuterium

Published by

Have you ever been roaming a planet in No Man’s Sky as a newcomer to the series and seen a bright, blue plant on the ground? If you interact with this plant, you will get a message that says your jetpack has been supercharged, allowing you to blast off into the air without needing to recharge your energy. This plant is called Deuterium, and it’s certainly fun to interact with. However, there are ways to actually add the plant to your inventory.

Deuterium has become progressively harder to get since No Man’s Sky launched, as it’s no longer available as a plant that you can pick up while traversing a planet. It is still found at planet level, but interacting with it will only boost your jetpack for a short time, and none will actually go into your inventory. When you actually do have it in your inventory, it’s a pretty useful resource, so you’ll want to stay updated with the best way to get it.

In this guide, we will explain the various ways of acquiring Deuterium in No Man’s Sky following the changes to it.

With the recent Interceptor update in No Man’s Sky, there is a plethora of new content available in-game. Check out some of our guides to help you navigate this new content – here’s where to find Dissonant Systems, Radiant Shards, and Atlantideum.

Getting Deuterium in No Man’s Sky

Deuterium is no longer available as a plant pick-up, which means you’ll need to try other methods of getting it to keep your reserves stocked. Here are the main ways of getting Deuterium in 2021:

  • Refining: Deuterium can be refined from Tritium and Di-Hydrogen. You’ll need a Medium Refiner to do so.
  • Purchasing from the Galactic Terminal: You can buy Deuterium at certain Space Stations, and from NPCs.
  • Dismantling Deuterium-enriched equipment: You can take certain equipment apart to get Deuterium, like the Neutron Shielding module.

Refining

The best way to get Deuterium in No Man’s Sky is to use a Medium or Large Refiner. You’ll need to purchase the blueprints for these from the Anomaly if you haven’t already before continuing. Place Tritium and Di-Hydrogen into the refiner and start the process. You’ll get Deuterium out at a steady stream.

Purchasing Deuterium

You can sometimes find Deuterium available on the Galactic network at Space Stations. Some NPCs will also sell it, so check pilots that are standing next to their ships. This is a pretty unreliable way to get Deuterium, so try other methods first.

Dismantling Equipment

The final way to get Deuterium in No Man’s Sky is to dismantle equipment that uses it as a crafting item. Currently, this would be the Neutron Shielding module and the Pulse Spitter. Check your inventories for these items.

That’s all of the ways to get Deuterium in No Man’s Sky. For more on the game be sure to check out our guide on getting Radon. Elsewhere there’s our look at some essential tips to get ahead.
