How to Use the Survey Device to Find and Identify Resource Hot Spots | No Man's Sky: Beyond
406This No Man's Sky Video Walkthrough will answer all your questions about how to find and identify various resource hot spots in No Man's Sky: Beyond.
A Hotspot is a location on a planet that is a prime location for industrial base building. You must install a Survey Device in your Analysis Visor and enable Surveying Mode to find hotspots on planets.
There are three types of Hotspots: Power, Mineral, Gas. The harvestable amount of any hotspot depends on whether the spot is C, B, A or S class.
Power Hotspot
Power hotspots are valuable for anybody who builds a base. Place an Electromagnetic Generator on this hotspot and provide almost limitless power. Power Hotspots can generate 150, 220, 250 and 300kP of power at C, B, A and S Potential, respectively.
Mineral Hotspot
A mining hotspot is valuable for industrialists who want to make money selling ores. Place a Mineral Extractor on this hotspot and power it to extract large amounts of ore of one type.
Gas Hotspot
A gas hotspot is valuable for industrialists who want to make money crafting high-tech materials that require Compressed Atmospheric Gas. Place a Gas Extractor on this hotspot and power it to extract large amounts of gas of one type.

BEYOND: INTRODUCING UPDATE 2.0
Update 2.0, Beyond, massively expands the multiplayer experience introduced in NEXT, takes immersion to a whole new level with fully-fledged Virtual Reality, overhauls base building, NPCs, technology trees, and much, much more.
Marking the three year anniversary of No Man’s Sky, this is our largest update so far, broadening the experience across the entire game.
Our journey continues.
VIRTUAL REALITY SUPPORT
Our most requested feature: you can now play the entirety of No Man’s Sky in Virtual Reality without compromise.
THE BEST TIME TO START A NEW JOURNEY
Missions and tutorials have been significantly revised. The early game has been streamlined and focused to better teach players new mechanics, particularly in VR.
AMBIENT MULTIPLAYER
Ambient encounters with other explorers are now represented with full character models, allowing players to see each other’s character and ship customisations. Surviving, building, and exploring together is richer and more immediate than ever.
A NEW SOCIAL HUB
The Space Anomaly has been transformed into an all-new social hub. This unique communal space exists across all systems and galaxies, giving all explorers an opportunity to see each others’ character and ship customisations, meet new friends, and undertake missions together.
The Space Anomaly’s powerful teleporter allows explorers to easily browse and visit each others’ bases directly from the Anomaly.
NEXUS MISSIONS
Multiplayer missions are now initialised from The Nexus, located aboard the Space Anomaly. A large set of unique missions is currently available – including a new style of mission – Base Construction.
TECHNOLOGY TREES
Blueprints are now visualised through unlockable technology trees. Learning new crafting recipes is now clearer, more interactive, and more rewarding.
GAMEPLAY BALANCE
Explorers can enjoy longer stretches of uninterrupted mining with less frequent and less aggressive sentinels, and a reworked overheat mechanic for the Mining Beam that rewards pushing heat to the limit.
Ship controls and space combat balance have been improved.
Inventory limitations have been relaxed, allowing explorers to carry near-unlimited quantities of mined substances. The inventory UI has been revised and improved.
A large number of quality of life issues have been addressed, and new recipes and technologies have been added to alleviate grinding.
DISCOVERY PAGE
The Discovery Page has been overhauled and expanded for a more intuitive interface, and to display alien flora, fauna and mineral discoveries in greater detail.
PLANETARY CHARTS
Specific buildings are now located via a system of Planetary Charts purchased from a Space Station Cartographer.
Purchase charts for nanites, or exchange your own navigation data for new charts. Earn data by charting the buildings that you discover as you explore.
GALAXY MAP
Information on the Galaxy Map is more concisely displayed, with clearer text, icons, and navigation.
