Quick Links
No Man’s Sky is a continuously evolving universe, regularly updated and expanded to keep the gameplay experience fresh. This ongoing development introduces new elements for players to engage with.
One such element is the blueprints, which come in abundance. To craft a Heat Capacitor, you need to find the specific blueprint, but figuring out how to obtain it can be tricky. In this guide, we’ll explain how to find the blueprint for Heat Capacitors, what materials you need once you have it, and the purposes of Heat Capacitors themselves.
Where To Get The Heat Capacitor Blueprint
To obtain the Heat Capacitor blueprint, you’ll need to visit the Anomaly.
Once you’re inside, go to the room located at the back of the second floor. This area houses various vendors who offer blueprints for different game features.
Synthesis Laboratory
The vendor you need is called the Synthesis Laboratory, situated on the right side of the room, between the Exocraft Research and Multi-Tool Research vendors. Switch to the Valuable Products tab in the Product Recipes section, and you’ll find the Heat Capacitor on the left side of the third row, priced at 250 Nanite Clusters.
How To Get Nanite Clusters
You can obtain Nanite Clusters through various methods. Here are some of the easiest ways:
- Uploading Discoveries such as plants, animals, minerals, planets, and systems.
- Completions of Missions.
- Finding Buried Technology.
How To Craft A Heat Capacitor
After obtaining the blueprint for the Heat Capacitor, you can craft it with Solanium and Frost Crystals in your inventory.

How To Find Solanium
Solanium can only be found on planets with extremely hot climates. While hot climates may indicate the presence of Solanium, it’s not guaranteed. To locate Solanium, scan the planet from space to check for its resources.
To harvest Solanium from Solar Vines, you need to equip a Haz-Mat Gauntlet in your Exo-Suit.
You can purchase the Haz-Mat Gauntlet blueprint from the Exosuit Research vendor in the Anomaly, and it requires 50 Chromatic Metal and 20 Sodium Nitrate to craft.
How To Find Frost Crystals
Frost Crystals are obtained from a plant called Frostwort, which thrives in cold climates. Similarly to Solanium, harvesting Frost Crystals also necessitates a Haz-Mat Gauntlet installed in your Exo-Suit.
You can grow and harvest both Solanium and Frost Crystals at your base as well.
If you’ve done some exploration, you’ve likely encountered planets that have both Solanium and Frost Crystals. Check your Discoveries tab and review all the planets you’ve scanned or visited.
When you find a planet with the resources you need, choose ‘Set Waypoint’ while hovering over that system, and travel using the Galactic Map.
What Are Heat Capacitors Used For?
Heat Capacitors play a role in jobs related to Planetary Settlements and are essential for crafting Circuit Boards, along with Poly Fiber.

Besides their roles in Circuit Board creation and Planetary Settlements, Heat Capacitors don’t have many other significant uses. However, they have a base value of 180,000 Units and are easy to produce once you start farming them at your base, making them a reliable way to generate passive income.
If you combine crafting Poly Fiber with Heat Capacitors, you can easily create a steady supply of Circuit Boards, which have a high value of 916,250 Units each.
