How to Craft a Stasis Device in No Man's Sky

Full Stasis Device crafting guide with every ingredient and sub-recipe. Sells for 15.6M units and shares components with the Fusion Ignitor.

The Stasis Device sells for 15,600,000 units and shares one major component (the Quantum Processor) with the Fusion Ignitor. The rest of the chain leans on plant farms rather than toxic and radioactive planet minerals, which makes it the preferred build for players with established Biodomes. Here’s every ingredient broken down to base materials.

The Full Recipe Tree

Stasis Device requires:

  • 1x Quantum Processor
  • 1x Cryogenic Chamber
  • 1x Iridesite

Quantum Processor

IngredientRequires
Circuit Board1x Heat Capacitor + 1x Poly Fibre
Superconductor1x Semiconductor + 1x Enriched Carbon

Poly Fibre100x Cactus Flesh + 200x Star Bulb
Semiconductor1x Thermic Condensate + 1x Nitrogen Salt
Thermic Condensate250x Sulphurine + 50x Condensed Carbon
Nitrogen Salt250x Nitrogen + 50x Condensed Carbon
Enriched Carbon250x Radon + 50x Condensed Carbon

Lubricant50x Faecium + 400x Gamma Root
Glass40x Frost Crystal each (5x Glass = 200x Frost Crystal)
HoT Ice1x Enriched Carbon + 1x Nitrogen Salt

Iridesite

What You Actually Need to Farm

Gas Extractor Farm

GasApproximate Total Needed
Sulphurine500x+
Radon500x+
Nitrogen500x+
Condensed Carbon300x+

Same gas setup as the Fusion Ignitor. Build Gas Extractors on planets with Sulphurine (volcanic/hot), Radon (radioactive), and Nitrogen (frozen). An Electromagnetic Generator keeps them running without fuel.

Plant Farm (Biodomes or Hydroponics)

PlantTotal NeededNative Planet
Gamma Root400xIrradiated
Frost Crystal300xFrozen
Cactus Flesh100xDesert
Star Bulb200xLush
Solanium200xFiery/toxic
Faecium50xAny (creature byproduct)

Gamma Root at 400x is the main farm commitment here. It grows on irradiated planets natively, or in Biodomes anywhere. Frost Crystal at 300x (100 for Heat Capacitor, 200 for Glass) is the second biggest ask. If you already have frozen planet crops running, most of this is covered.

Faecium is easy: creatures drop it on almost any planet, and you only need 50x per craft.

Planet Mining

MaterialSource
ParaffiniumLush planet surface
PhosphorusFiery/volcanic planet surface
DioxiteFrozen planet surface
Ionised CobaltUnderground caves (150x total)

Paraffinium, Phosphorus, and Dioxite all come from common planet types. Grab bulk stacks when you’re visiting those systems, or mine them near your base if your home planet has the right biome.

Where to Get the Blueprint

Same as the Fusion Ignitor:

  1. Synthesis Lab on the Space Anomaly — buy blueprints with Nanites. Get all the sub-component blueprints at the same time: Cryogenic Chamber, Quantum Processor, Living Glass, Cryo-pump, Iridesite, and the three alloys.
  2. Planetary Manufacturing Facilities — raid them for blueprint drops.

Crafting Order

Start from base materials and work up:

  1. Set up gas extractors for Sulphurine, Radon, and Nitrogen
  2. Plant Gamma Root, Frost Crystal, Cactus Flesh, Star Bulb, and Solanium
  3. Mine Paraffinium, Phosphorus, Dioxite, and Ionised Cobalt
  4. Craft the three alloys (Aronium, Magno-gold, Grantine) to make Iridesite
  5. Refine gases into Thermic Condensate, Enriched Carbon, and Nitrogen Salt
  6. Craft Semiconductor, then Superconductor and HoT Ice
  7. Craft Lubricant and Glass from farm products, combine into Living Glass
  8. Combine Living Glass and Cryo-pump into Cryogenic Chamber
  9. Craft Circuit Board and combine with Superconductor into Quantum Processor
  10. Assemble Stasis Device

The longest wait is the plant farms. Once Gamma Root and Frost Crystal are harvested, everything else assembles quickly.
