WARNING: If you want to enjoy the game how it’s meant to be played, I highly, HIGHLY, recommend you do not use this strategy and close this post now as it may ruin your overall experience. I’m serious, play and enjoy the game and ONLY look at this post if you ABSOLUTELY NEED TO.
HOW IT WORKS: In NEXT, star ships at space stations can now sell items like Nitrogen Salt, Thermite Condensate, Enriched Carbon and Semi-conductors. Each has a value listed below
• Nitrogen Salt - 50,000 units each
• Thermite Condensate - 50,000 units each
• Enriched Carbon - 50,000 units each
• Semiconductor - 400,000 units each
All these ingredients will be bought and used to craft Superconductors which have a current value of 2,000,000 units each.
WHAT TO DO: Enter a space station with a high economy. You are looking to buy as much Enriched Carbon, Nitrogen Salt, and Thermite Condensate as you can. These can be bought from passing star ships in the space station. Combining one Thermite Condensate and one Nitrogen Salt can craft you a Semiconductor. Combining that Semiconductor with an Enriched Carbon will grant you a Superconductor, worth 2,000,000 units each. This means that you paid 150,000 units to buy three crafting ingredients that give a 2,000,000 unit item. Simply rinse and repeat till you have hundreds of Superconductors in your inventory.
In my experience it took me 30 minutes to fill my inventory with Superconductors and sold them all for around 400,000,000 units. I haven't seen any post about this method or any farming method come this close to profit per hour, so I thought I'd share.
