# NMSii — No Man's Sky Items Interface

> Recipes, nanites, cooking buffs, multi-tools, storage homes and portal addresses for No Man's Sky, computed from the game's own recipe tables: 1498 items, 361 refining and 1323 cooking recipes, the cheapest chain to make each item from what you can pick up, and every route to nanites ranked by nanites per hour.

Data: No Man's Sky Cosmos 7.06 (build 180836), extracted from the game files on 2026-10-17. NMSii unpacks the game's recipe, product, substance and language tables itself and normalises them; earlier builds read the same tables via [NMS-Handbook](https://github.com/ApexFatality93/NMS-Handbook), still the fallback source. Where loot drops, the storage layout and the multi-tool notes are hand-written from community guides.

These files were generated on 2026-10-17 by the export that builds the data of the interactive site at https://nmsii.dlu.one/ (a JavaScript app), so they say what it shows. No Man's Sky and its data belong to Hello Games.
