This Starfield player should have an Engineering Degree validated. You have spent 100 hours to create a huge factory with the game’s creative mode


Starfield is massive in every aspect. It is not only that it has more than 1,000 planets to explore, but also its creation of ships and of bases It can trap us for dozens of hours. That has happened to this player, one who has invested a hundred hours invested in creating a huge factory in space, and when you know all the details you will be amazed.

For all of you hating on outposts, this is what 100+ hours and dedication gets you. I present to you my factory, still work in progress.
byu/Hackoox inStarfield

It turns out that Bethesda’s RPG is not a The Sims. It does not allow us to build as we wish and we depend on materials, a logical structural arrangement and, ultimately, many headaches. However, this player placed 3,000 rugs on the ground to get a flat surfaceand from there he began to build.

In fact, this is already quite spectacular. Many players asked him how he got a flat layout on a space rock if, basically, everyone has a irregular orography. However, the feat goes further. Everything has been created meticulously using a single modone that eliminates the construction limit and allows you to create works this large.

But, Does this have value in the game? The truth is that it is complicated. The base building system exists in the game to be able extract resources of the planets on which we install it. Whether gold or copper, the space rock must have those resources beneath its surface; They don’t appear out of nowhere. However, much of the Hackoox player’s structures serve only to lend credibility to the work beyond placing extraction points here and there.

Starfield is not the only one, The Elder Scrolls VI is exclusive to Xbox

Although many of us already saw it coming, and several documents prior to September anticipated this exclusivity, yesterday’s massive leak by Microsoft itself made it crystal clear: The Elder Scrolls VI will continue with the exclusiveness in Xbox systems. While it is to be expected that, like Starfield, the medieval RPG will opt for a PC release, it will not be released on PS5 or its successor, depending on when it is released.

Be careful with this Starfield mission, as it can ruin your game. Bethesda warns what to do if Into the Unknown breaks your game


We have all laughed at some Bethesda game bug. Its comical results have the power to make us have a great time even when we are not playing. Characters that stretch, interrupted conversations and endless absurdities are the daily bread, but this coin has another, less entertaining side: that of the errors that can affect us negatively. Now, the company itself clarifies that Starfield has a serious flaw that can block your progress. The way to avoid it? Do missions in a different order.

As we have learned thanks to a Reddit user. The main quest Into the Unknown has a serious problem that can destroy your progress in this space RPG. After speaking with Bethesda, u/Particle_Canno brings us the company’s recommended solution, and you may need load a previous game.

Into the unknown, a Starfield mission has a big bug

And if you have accepted Towards the unknown, but you have also finished two other side quests, you may have encountered an insurmountable wall. There is a bug in the game that deletes this mission from your list if you have gone through Return to Vectera and Empty Nest.

According to Bethesda customer service, the solution at the moment is quite severe. They recommend do not, under any circumstances, any of these missions before Into the Unknown. If you fall prey to the bug, the answer they have for you is simple: you will need to go back to a past game or wait for a future patch. Be careful!

First Starfield gameplay footage leaked


One of the bigger games we expect later this year is Starfield. We have only seen very few images of that. But some images have now leaked, so if you really can’t wait, you might be able to go ahead for a while.

Starfield should be released this fall, but that is still a while away. Before then, more images are of course expected, despite the fact that E3 has been cancelled. If you just don’t want to wait for the next Xbox showcase, some images have now leaked.

  • Get yourself an Xbox Series S

It concerns five screenshots that are doing the rounds online, including on Twitter. They would come from a build of the game from 2018. That makes them a bit older, but there will probably still be something recognizable in the final game.

For example, the overall look of the game seems to match the most recent footage we have of the game. Bethesda calls this look NASA punk, which seems to fit well with the leaked footage. The screenshots reveal little about the rest of the game, for that we will have to wait for a new trailer.

When does Starfield appear?

At the moment, Starfield is scheduled for a November 11, 2022 release. That’s still quite a few months away, so that may change. We may see more new images in the summer, for example at Summer Game Fest.

Starfield seems to be getting ray tracing support


Thanks to programmer’s LinkedIn page Germain Mazac, who works for Bethesda Game Studios, we now know that Starfield appears to be getting ray tracing (RTX) support. On the aforementioned page you can read that Mazac, as part of his work, is working on ‘RTX integration’. Since Bethesda itself has not yet mentioned Starfield and ray tracing, Mazac seems to be talking about this.

Of course we don’t know if this only concerns the PC version of the game or if the support for ray tracing will also come to the console versions. In any case, it is a remarkable choice given the outdated state of the engine, which often seems to hang together with duct tape and also failed to make an impression in Starfield’s reveal trailer. In any case, we will find out more in the first half of 2023.

Find and buy Starfield ship parts


Where do you get the ship parts in Starfield? Is there a merchant where you can buy ship parts? In the past few days, this may be the question asked by one or the other player of the new space RPG from Bethesda, who has already done a few space fights. Depending on the level of difficulty you play Starfield on, the space battles can be a bit of a challenge. In addition to the right tactics and the right weapons, you sometimes have to repair the ship in battle. For the repair you need the ship parts, but where do you get the parts?

Buy ship parts from the merchant

Yes, you can buy the ship parts. There are several vendors to purchase ship repair parts from, including UC Distributions in the business district of New Atlantis. Arriving in the UC Distributions building, you will find the good Wen Tseng, where you can buy various items, such as ship parts for 1187 credits each under the “Help” category. Like other items, the ship parts are only available in limited quantities, but you can easily reset the dealer and increase the offer by finding a seat and waiting there for 24 in-game hours.

How to repair the spaceship with the ship parts? For ship repair, simply press the O button in battle. The spaceship is then automatically repaired at 4 percent for 10 seconds.

Where can you find and farm ship parts?

If you don’t have enough credits on the virtual account to buy the ship parts, you can find them in the game world. This is how you get the ship parts, especially in the fight against enemy ships, after you have killed them. But even if you save other pilots and their ships from the pirates, you always get ship parts as a reward for your help.

Get ship parts with cheat

If you are not averse to using cheats in Starfield, you can also use a cheat to get the ship parts. The item ID for the ship parts is 0003FB19.

  1. Open the in-game console with the Ö key.
  2. Type in the command “player.additem 0003FB19 (number)” and confirm with the Enter key.

Incidentally, a part of the ship weighs 10 kg and is therefore anything but light. We have already created a separate guide on how to increase the carrying capacity in Starfield.
