Get Nickel (Ni) in Niira

Starfield - Niira Resource Overview

Niira is a nearby planet you can farm Nickel (Ni) for within the Narion System. To look for Nickel-rich areas, head over to the planet details and select Show Resources.

Look for Nickel-rich areas (signified by the brown color) around the planet and select a landing point within them.

Feel free to also look around other planets, since Nickel can be found also in other nearby star systems like Sol System.

Once you have landed, look around for Nickel deposits with your Hand Scanner. You can easily identify them with the Nickel (Ni) symbol appearing in your UI.

When you have found a Nickel (Ni) deposit, use your Cutter to open up the deposit and extract its materials.
