The Industrial Cleanup is a new mission in No Man’s Sky you can complete as part of the Remnant update.
This quest will introduce you to all the new items that have been added. These items will allow you to process industrial waste like never before. If you’re a beginner, you’ll have to reach the Anomaly and gain your Exocraft.
If you’re someone who has already completed the prerequisites, read on.
No Man’s Sky Industrial Cleanup quest walkthrough
For starters, you have to reach the Anomaly. There’s a new expedition available at the Anomaly, but we will avoid that for now. Instead, take the path that goes upwards from the left of the Nexus, and you’ll find several traders.
You’ll need to purchase and complete the construction of the following three blueprints.
- Cyclops Scope
- Excavation Blade
- Gravitino Coil
Once done, head back to your base and go to your Colossus. Install the Cyclops Scope and the Excavation Blade on the vehicle. Install the Gravitino Coil module in your multi-tool.
The next part of the task is to process five high-value wastes. A marker will automatically show the location. You can also use the Colossus to scan the waste. I have found most of the waste on planets that have Sentinels and salvage.
Next, we have to head to a Waste Processing Plant. This unit might be located in a different system, but it will have a quest marker. Test the Gravitino Coil over there, and pick up the waste to put into the machinery at the plant. Doing so will get you the Flatbed Chassis Module.

You’ll now be able to customize the looks and feels of your Colossus and put the Flatbed on. The Flatbed allows you to haul and put different items on it. Now drive the Colossus (with the waste on it) on the marked square at the plant. Use the Colossus to dump the materials and complete the processing (do all of it together).

The next bit of the quest requires you to find and process specific quantities of industrial waste. You can use the scan function on the Colossus to find the waste, and then haul it on the Flatbed. Once you’ve the necessary quantities, drive back to the plant and empty the Flatbed. Once the unload is complete, interact with the terminal to complete the processing part.
