This "No Man's Sky" guide follows the Atlas questline which seems to offer the fastest way to progress to the No Man's Sky center of the universe without cheating, reports Game Spot. The guide highlights the need of crafting and activating the spaceships' hyperdrive. To do this, the initial ship needs to be repaired and launched into space. A marker then appears showing an outpost where an alien will give the player a recipe for the hyperdrive.
Once the hyperdrive is created, a warp cell is needed to power it up. The recipe for crafting a warp cell needs 100 Thamium 9 and an antimatter. The Thamium can be easily mined but the antimatter might be purchased for a steep price at 20,000 units. As an alternative, it can be crafted by following the markers for outposts of nearby planets until one can find an alien who gives the recipe for free.
The next step for "No Man's Sky" PC/PS4 players is to upgrade their hyperdrive. This is an essential step to make one's ship travel 300 light years instead of the usual 100. A Warp Reactor V1 hyperdrive upgrade may be obtained by scouring various Damaged Machineries which could contain salvageable technology or letting aliens experiment and do what they want with one's character in the hope of a hyperdrive upgrade in return.

They will then offer resources to aid exploration, find a shortcut to the center of the universe or resume path to the atlas. Always, choose the resume the path to Atlas option. In addition, don't sell the Atlas Stones because they will be useful later in the game.
