Activated Indium is found in Blue Star systems in No Man's Sky and requires an Indium drive to be installed on your starship to visit.

Once you’ve located a hotspot with your analysis visor, set up up to four to five mineral extractors at the center. This will start gathering Activated Indium for you. Make sure to set up an adequate power supply to keep it running for a long time.

This is one of the best farms in No Man's Sky and can provide you with 100,000 Activated Indium in 24 hours. The products can then be sold for 9.5 million units per stack of 9999 Activated Indium.

2) Chlorine Farm

Chlorine farming is one of the fastest ways to make Units in No Man’s Sky. You can increase the amount of chlorine you have by refining oxygen and chlorine in a 2:1 ratio, which yields six times more chlorine. This chlorine can then be sold for up to 18 million units for 30,000 chlorine.

To set up the farm, you’ll need to find an Oxygen hotspot and set up gas extractors. Electromagnetic generators can be set up nearby to provide consistent power to the extractors. Set up multiple refiners to make the process faster in order to refine chlorine in large quantities. Once you set these up, you've successfully created one of the best farms in No Man's Sky.
