Transport Modules

By
Scott Peers

This page details all of the Transport Modules which can be purchased from the Construction Research Station on board the Space Anomaly in No Man’s Sky. We’ll include a brief overview of what each module is used for, and the materials required to construct them.

All Base Transport Modules from the Construction Research Station

The below table lists all of the Transport Modules from the Construction Research Station on board the Space Anomaly. Most of these consist of Exocraft modules which are specialized for travel on different types of planet surfaces. There’s only one Exocraft dedicated to underwater exploration (the Nautilon), but some of the others have limited capabilities over water. The Mech Suit is an excellent choice for combat scenarios, more efficient resource gathering in some environments, or protection from hazardous atmospheres. The Exocraft Summoning Station and Orbital Exocraft Materializer both provide ways for you to summon Exocraft on any planet, so long as either of the modules have been installed on a base or Freighter which is located in the same system as the planet you’re attempting to summon them on. The Race Initiator, Obstacle, and Force Amplifier provide basic ways to create Exocraft race tracks in or around your base.
