How to get Antimatter Housing in No Man’s Sky

Antimatter Housing is a key component in No Man’s Sky, since it is required to craft a Warp Cell. In No Man’s Sky, Warp Cells are used to charge the hyperdrive, allowing you to travel great distances and explore new star systems.

Given the importance of the hyperdrive in NMS, and the necessity to recharge it, Antimatter Housing is one of the crucial components that one should get the blueprint for, as soon as possible. In order to craft Antimatter Housing, you first need to learn its blueprint, which can be purchased at the Space Anomaly.

Once learnt, all you need to craft one Antimatter Housing is 30 Oxygen and 50 Ferrite Dust in No Man’s Sky. Both of these commodities are present well in abundance on most planets, so it should not be too difficult to find them. A quick scan would reveal nearby Oxygen-rich plants on a planet, and most forms of rocks on a planet give Ferrite Dust upon mining.

However, just having an Antimatter Housing is not enough to create a Warp Cell in No Man’s Sky. You need Antimatter as well, which can be crafted using 25 Chromatic Metal and 20 Condensed Carbon.

After getting one Warp Cell, you can charge your hyperdrive enough for one warp, so it is only useful for making the trip and you’ll need another warp cell to make the round trip. When you recharge your hyperdrive with four Warp Cells, however, you can complete five trips.
