Nanocube Changes In an upcoming Version Update several changes are being made to Nanocubes, outlined below. Nanocubes can no longer be purchased directly from the Trade Terminal. Nanocubes are now obtained by using the new Recycle tab in the Trade Terminal interface. Most items and resources can be recycled into Nanocubes, with a few exceptions: items sold at the Trade Terminal, non-tradeable items, and Shrapnel. Recycled items generate a stack of Nanocubes with a value equivalent to the item’s Trade Terminal value. Nanocubes can now be listed at auction. These changes should result in a more healthy and interdependent economy, which will benefit hunters, miners, and crafters alike. Source
