Where to find Runaway Mould in Nobody’s heaven

While the method of using runaway molds to turn them into nanites is simple, the hardest part of this method is finding Runaway Mold. While Runaway Mold can even be obtained in some Galatic Trade Terminals on space stations, this method relies on discovering a Curious Deposit, which will give you Runaway Mold when you mine it. There is no surefire trick to finding Curious Deposits, and it’s really a trial-and-error method that involves looking around various planets for Curious Deposits (indicated by a golden 3-star symbol) in Nobody’s heaven.

Now if you’ve come across a location with Runaway Mold and you’re wondering how to use Runaway Mold to get Nanites, Nobody’s heaventhis is what you need to do.

How to Grow Nanites Using Runaway Mold in Nobody’s heaven

The first thing you need to do is build a base computer near the location where you found the Runaway Mold. This is a crucial step in the process, as the source is quite difficult to find in that location, and once you’ve made this discovery, the last thing you want is to lose track of exactly where on a planet you found it.

Once you’ve established a base near the Runaway Mould spawn, don’t make the mistake of trying to harvest them right away, as they’ll roll away as soon as you try to mine those resources.

Instead, you can prevent the runaway fungus by placing fences on all four sides. This way, the fungus cannot escape, even if you try to harvest the fungus. This will save you a lot of time in this process.

Use a multi-tool and harvest the Runaway Mold, and once you’re done, build a medium or large refiner. Since we only need to refine Runaway Mold here, there’s no need to build a large refiner for this method.

Take the harvested Runaway Mold and put it in the refiner. The refiner will turn it into Nanite Clusters.

This is the general step you need to get Nanites with Runaway Mold. The next part of this trick is to respawn the Runaway Mold at the same location. This is a kind of exploit in Nobody’s heaven that has been around for a while now, and Hello Games seems to be okay with players using this trick, since it is widely used and has not been modified by the developers. So don’t worry, there is no imminent ban coming for this method.

Simply travel 500-600h away from where you found the Curious Deposit, then come back, and the Runaway Mold cluster will reappear. To make this process of traveling easier, it is recommended to build a teleporter near the refiner, and then another teleporter at a distance far enough for the cluster to reappear.

After all of this is done, simply repeat the mining and refining process over and over again, and you will essentially have a farm that can give you unlimited nanites. Keep in mind, however, that it takes time for the refinery to process Runaway Mold and turn it into Nanite Clusters. You can save yourself some time and effort by setting up multiple refineries to work on the refining process.

There are other steps you can take, such as increasing the amount of Runaway Mold you get when refining by installing specific upgrades to your multi-tool, which will increase the amount of loot you get.

So there you have it, a Runaway Mold farm that can earn you up to 200,000 Nanites per hour Nobody’s heavenbut it is not a passive job and you have to actively engage in this process to earn that many Nanites per hour.
