Starfield: Game talk

19 Dec 2023, 10:27am
I managed to extract all* of the inorganic resources from only 15 outposts. Inara's database was of great help to find planets where rare minerals are combined or exclude not possible cases. (*) water is not included, you almost always have it. And Caelumite is random and only extractable by hand.

I created a google sheet to help me understand the logic of resources and biomes, and to track my progress. I hope my work will be of help.

My strategy does not follow what you can find on youtube where people are proud to have combined up to 8 resources on a single planet.
Because it is always common resources... when you want to extract rare or uniques resources you have to think differently because you won't find points of adjacent biomes giving rare resources (or at least it is quite unlikely).

My strategy was to start from the planet giving all the resources from a single familly. Because it is easier to find a good spot if you target a single biome.
I discovered that famillies have branches. You can only get one given branch on a planet. For example, you cannot find Silver (Ag) and Tungsten (W) on the same planet. Even if they are part of the Lead(Pb) familly, they are in different branches.

Easy RhinoThere was an admin card laying on the floor? I'm normally a thorough scavenger but I totally missed that. May need to go back and try again.

One thing I understood after several hundred hours of gameplay: the lootboxes/ammoboxes you haven't yet looted have green lights on. Lights go off after looting. So obvious...

Hello,

In case this is helpful to any Starfield Outpost builders who want unusual items to decorate their outposts, I started to put together a Starfield Rare and Uncommon Junk Item List (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZgV_E-1asrPZl2KmfZ0X28p9XA8evjsu/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111944868231697314298&rtpof=true&sd=true).

Hopefully this information can make its way onto databases like this one eventually, which will make this list redundant.

If any one would like to add any additional information, suggestions or corrections I started a Reddit Post in Starfield Outposts: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarfieldOutposts/comments/19c10gw/starfield_rare_and_uncommon_junk_item_locations/

User438880Hello,

Hello, that's quite good idea! The items that can be bought are already listing the respective vendors, but maybe I can also put these under some "Decorative items" category or so and extend it with the locations where can be bought or stolen. I will think about that.

I have completed my outpost layout, 20 outposts to extract or grow all game resources (organics AND inorganics).
List in chronological order of installation :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11N-oiFAfDvbRDYF51VKdROdho9DtKL4KFJ8TAeLh3Ys/edit?usp=sharing

Copy the Google sheet to modify your version.

Note: the game has bugs with some planets needing fiber to grow some animal but their planet does not produce fiber... You might ask yourself "how the hell did the animal survive in the first place ?!". Fortunately there is also a bug you can exploit to overcome the first one : if you put 1 hand gathered fiber in a storage (the resource will show as "fiber (leaf)" for example, not "fiber") then the stable does not consume the fiber but is able to grow animals fine.

Feel free to ask for advice or if something isn't clear in the chart.

I am about to start a new play-through, again...;) to test the new extreme settings available in next version 1.11

I would like to track in the Captain's Log the skill magazines I find.
Is it possible to add a tab in the Captain'Log ?
I suggest that the tab displays this data : Magazine name (with link to page), issue number and a check box.

For now I will use these two Google sheets to track my progress :

Yes, I made some internal preparations for it already, but as nobody asked about it I postponed it indefinitely. But I will revisit it as I guess it will be more handy to have it here than with the external sheet.

I don't see the side quest "Final Thoughts" anywhere. You find a tablet with a lenghty and heart breaking audio recording of a dying miner (random location). You are then supposed to bring the tablet to Claire Mensah in New Atlantis (at the Viewport). The quest does not give you any reward except the xp and the feeling of having done a good deed.
