The video explains an exploit in No Man’s Sky that allows players to duplicate resources like credits and nanites using a method called the “refiner dup trick,” which involves positioning two refiners together. It also provides tips to enhance the duplication process and emphasizes that this method allows players to engage with the game without using cheats or save file edits.
The video discusses an exploit in the game No Man’s Sky that allows players to duplicate various in-game resources such as credits, nanites, and items without the need for save file editing or creative mode. The method, known as the “refiner dup trick,” involves using at least two refiners to duplicate materials. The process is straightforward: players load one refiner with the item they wish to duplicate and then position another refiner inside the first one to initiate the duplication process.
To enhance the efficiency of the duplication, the video suggests a few tips. First, players can pick up the refiner instead of the materials to speed up the process. Second, there are mods available that can streamline actions like picking up items, making the process quicker. Lastly, PC players can utilize mouse macros or AutoHotkey to automate aspects of the duplication, further increasing speed and efficiency.
The video emphasizes that this exploit has remained functional since the introduction of refiners in the game, despite some changes in how it works. For instance, players now need to place refiners more precisely inside one another compared to previous methods. Additionally, the build screen mechanics have changed, requiring more manual adjustments, which can slow down the process slightly. However, the exploit is still regarded as a reliable method for resource duplication.
The presenter addresses potential criticisms of using this exploit instead of save file editing or creative mode, arguing that this method allows players to engage with the game in a vanilla state without altering files or using cheats. This is particularly beneficial for console players who may not have access to mods. The ability to duplicate inventory expanders is highlighted as especially useful for players participating in Expeditions.
Finally, the video concludes with a note on the nature of game updates, mentioning that new patches can sometimes disrupt the duplication process. In such cases, players are advised to walk a short distance and attempt the duplication again to resolve any glitches. Overall, the video serves as a guide for players looking to maximize their resources in No Man’s Sky using a simple and effective exploit.
