For anyone new to bethesda games who wanted to try out starfield hear me out. I’m sure in the reviews you’ve heard them saying “the more you put into this game the more you get out” this is very true. Starfield gives you much more freedom than skyrim or fallout as far as really being who you want to be. I recommend you take the “D&D” approach to creating your character’s background and traits. instead of seeing them as just good/bad perks build a story with some real lore around your character. they’re not just perks they actually change how people will interact with you. I’ve been doing this and I’m having an absolute blast. I’ve done this on Oblivian, skyrim, and fallout. but Starfield by far does this system the best
Its my first Bethesda game. I used to be a bouncer so I was more than happy I could pick that background for my character. Dk how its gonna affect me but still fun
😂 I hear you! I pick up all the crap then set there and sort it on the ground,and max my companion ( at mission end)so I can fast travel to the ship and start again 😂
For ship upgrades. Grab the best powerplant you can fit early on. Being able to power your ballistics and lasers fully us very important to winning fights.
Or, alternatively, use automatic versions of one or the other. Instead of firing one shot and reloading, they can fire off long bursts on a single charge. I use pulse (automatic) lasers to quickly bring down enemy shields and only have one tick in my laser power grid. Usually that's enough, and if not a missile generally brings the shields down. Then I have tons of power to my regular ballistic cannons for sustained damage output.
If you are carrying too much stuff, go into the menus and select your ship. Go into ship storage and then select your inventory. Then store the stuff you dont want to carry. I've done this while not on the ship. Plus whenever you go to shops to sell stuff, you can select your ship storage to sell from. So you dont need to carry it to venders.
I have tried that but noticed if you are too far away it won't let you and I had to run back to my ship. For me especially the first ship the inventory is overloaded easily.
Alternatively, if your ships inventory is full you can just drop stuff inside of it and then store it into your inventory when it’s time to build or sell. Also if you walk slowly you won’t use oxygen when sprinting.

@@jimreaper1337 Hey, I'm there with ya bud. I'm playing as a space-vacuum, picking up every notebook and coffee cup and making literally dozens of spacebucks 😂
@Easyflux just got to mars, im like level 12 have a fleet of 5 ships, mostly from boarding actions after they landed in front of me, I've stolen a load of particle weapons for my followers to blast anything within a 300m radius of us, I've got 650k in my pocket, legendary weaponry and armor, one piece of which halves the weight of all stowed weaponry, another turns me invisible when crouched... so i stopped picking up anything purple or below hours ago, I'm still in the 2nd or 3rd mission Also pro tip: give all your followers exactly 1 of every ammo type, then kit them out with a super powerful weapon like a minigun and let them rip, they never run out of that 1 ammo!!
@stonedgod420 yeah theres way too many girl bosses, but over all I'm having so much fun, and the vistas I'm getting to witness, also theres some decent imersion, a guy walked past but had nice armor on, so i stopped him, he literally said it was because of the armor i stopped him, i was like, okay no way, thats cool
@@Ebontis Couldn't agree with him more. If there's one thing I hate about youtube culture, it'ss all the hyperbolic, overinflated bs. It's nice to see someone NOT doing that while providing quality content. Keep doing your thing.
If you use your cutter, then level Laser to Level 4, it then comes the most powerful weapon you can own, and you don't bullets. It melts level 30-50 enemies as it burns them and it stacks so basically burns them thus killing them more quickly.
One thing I noted, it's a good idea at early levels to do the side quests in New Atlantis, they aren't difficult and they can net you a decent chunk of change that can add up. Joining UC can also get you a lot more as a sign in bonus so you won't be broke.
Now i think about it, it would be nice if those information kiosks in cities that list shops and stuff had a button that puts a marker on that location temporarily.
Technically speaking, you can move at walking speed without losing oxygen. While running or sprinting, you will. If you run low, you can alway walk. The NumLock key comes in handy in these cases. Just point your character in the right direction and auto-walk until your oxygen is replenished.
I'm really impressed that most planets have several biomes. You can explore a forest tundra, a dessert, an ocean island, a forest, all on one planet. It's a nice little touch to make the planet more interesting and encourage you to check out several spots on the planet.
You might not be able to fast travel when carrying too much. But you can always send stufr back to the ship as long as you are in the same erea. Open the overview meny (tab) then klick the ship, then show cargo (g i think) then there should be a button to show your char inventory. From there you can move stuff to the ship with E.
Thanks for all the good info. I will add a piece of advice that really had me stumped when I first built an outpost. Storage boxes and crates are under decoration but they actually do allow you to store materials at your outpost. I am a packrat and any storage is good storage!
Be advised that your command level will dictate the amount of people that you can have for a crew, therefore you will be limited on how many people you can assign overall. Example- I have a ship that can have a five man crew, but I can only have a crew of three because of my command level. I found this out after hiring two people to make up my five man crew. GLk
I learned the piloting skill points lesson the hard way when I tried to hijack a Spacer ship. I quickly found myself in orbit saying, "Oh crap, I can't pilot this thing. Mistakes were definitely made." Thankfully it was one of the few moments I wasn't over encumbered so I was able to just fast travel back to the Frontier. But it was a pretty scary & hilarious moment. Also I found it Interesting that you haven't found more magazines. I'm only 57 hours in & I've managed to find about a dozen of those things so far. If you're out there picking up every single microscope, book, tablet, and desk decoration you'll definitely come across more skill notes. It's nice that they made a little reward for all us loot goblins instead of just earning slightly more credits by hoarding loot & using all of your crew as pack mules. LOL
You can use the simulator with the Vanguard to level pioliting up quickly. It'll be just about the first thing you do when you join and you can redo as many times as you want.
I wish there were custom waypoints and points of interest markers. It would be nice to have city maps too. Other than that i am really enjoying it so far.
@@shawnsumwalt8726 true that but that’s still a long walk, but I never complained lol I was rich! 😝 plus it taught me to grab that ‘Long Haul’ perk as early as possible in a playthrough
Random Detail (I don't really consider it a tip, but I noticed at some point) whenever you switch to scanner mode on the ground, your Character automatically equips the Cutter, so you don't need to waste a favorite slot for it or manually equip it or anything. Turn on the scanner, boom cutter ready, turn it off, back to your last weapon.
Also if I have a bunch of extra crap in my inventory and the vendor is broke.... I just buy up the ammo/med packs/digipicks or whatever they have that I can always use more of.
related to your note about ammo and trade: if you need to dump inventory and the vendor doesn't have any credits left, invest in all the ammo. same goes for medpacks and anything else that weighs nothing. you'll use most of it but could sell it in the future if need be.
Been waiting to get on the Starfield train but these tips are simple and easy to understand. Totally make sense to a me, a future new player. Good job!!
When looking for planets for outposts, each biome has its own associated ores for extractors. The resources with the rarity markers (diamond to the side, 1, 2, or 3 of them) can be found anywhere on the surface. So look for a spot that has the local ore (or find a biome border) to get maximum resource extraction for a single outpost.
Added tips 1) Take targeting. Not only does it improve ship-to-ship combat, It allows you to target specific systems of an enemy ship (like engines), so you can board a ship and potentially claim it as your own. 2) Double trigger (both mouse buttons) on the cutter mines twice as fast. 3) Stealth is a good skill to take 1 level in early…if only for the stealth bar. 4) It’s ok to hold skill points if you are working towards a goal (like Security 3 or piloting 4) 5) The Den in the Wolf system doesn’t scan and has a trade authority vendor.
The hour I spent watching this guide is going to save me dozens of hours trying to figure this out myself. Make the ship building tutorial and any others you can think of. I need all the help I can get. 🙂 Thanks for the video. Very well done. 👍 Liked and subscribed.
The guide is pretty good especially since the game throws you in the deep end quickly. It doesn't help when some of its systems are very counterintuitive at first. I just spent the last 30 minutes transferring and selling items. My character was at like 600 mass running to the kiosk in Atlantis.
Great beginner tips here! Props for the non-spoiler stuff too. Unfortunately at 29:59 when you mentioned magazines only being in curated spots, that's sadly not the case. Procedural outposts/mines have static item placement outside of containers. So you will find multiple mining monthly magazines if you come across the same generated POI.
Tip: I’ve seen a lot of people recommend lock picking as one of the first things to invest in, and it’s a good one to do so you’re not locked out of useful stuff, but it’s also handy to invest in the stuff you either don’t like doing or don’t fit your character. Like my character is far from a scientist so I don’t lean into surveying, but sometimes you have to, and being able to scan things, especially hostile things, from further away than close enough to ride them is very handy for time saving.
@@sukiiriinaa eh, that can hold you back a lot in the stuff you really play into. It gets annoying not being able to use higher tier modules on a ship or not being able to boost much, etc if your skills are too spread out since it’ll take forever to get the higher tier stuff that way.
The scanner arrows are not necessarily just for quest markers - if you leave a map marker (user-defined - RMB) - and there are no active quests, the arrows will show the path to the marker.
I quicksave before doing anything because autosave happens on the other side. Jumping into hostile space? Autosave brings you to the beginning of the fight. If you're under leveled you're SOL.
50hrs in and only two tips were new for me, but revelations! Favorites...50hrs never setting up favorites...stunning. Lock picking and the blue circles...I've picked probably 200 by visually starting from the inside and working out before placing any pick. I have one extra quality of life tip for PC: rebind "Get Up" away from "E" to "G" or another key you won't be using while piloting your ship. Getting out of your pilot seat to take a leisurely stroll during space combat killed me many times before hunting down the key binding. Excellent Tips!
Tip for the pilot skill. Grind the uc mast flight sim. You can go back and getting to round 3 is 5 ships. Rank 3 to 4 is just 6 of these. Took me like an hour to go from pilot skill level 2 to 4.
As far as the boost pack goes, there’s a secondary mode that will only activate if you bind an alternate key for jump. When you use the alternate jump key, you’ll boost forward instead of up, which makes traversal much better. Not sure how to do it on controller, but if you’re on Steam and you have programmable paddles, you can bind it that way
One correction on movement and over encumberance, if you walk but don't push the stick all the way, its possible to do a faster walk while recovering, without stopping. I had 800lbs on me and was still recovering while moving, and took out two elite on very hard, at level 12, while they were lvls 15 & 28. At the mantis room where you meet levy. All that to say its manageable if your careful, and dont try to walk as fast as you can. Its better not to be, but if you are, you can still move while recovering.
i played through a large part of my game time over double the carry weight. i learned a few things from that: you can ads walk and regen o2. my process i used to travel kilometers overloaded is i running jump, boost pack as much as i can and when im about to land i ads and hold w, wait for boost pack to recharge, repeat process. eventually youll have too much co2 build up so i had to ads walk longer to get it down again.
@@sneaky5141 when overloaded you will drain o2 even when walking. Pretty fast with heavier and heavy loads i think. If you walk you wont have oxygen to jetpack or run for that matter, because when overloaded, sprinting in a jetpack hover drains o2, just less than if you were running.
run yes. sprint as well. no o2 consumption when walking(ads). so basically what i do is i do the ads walk to get my booster charge back up/when co2 is almost capped, then i sprint jump, and boost. im not 100% on this but it seems like o2 consumption is lower when floating through the air than sprinting on the ground. @@Krispysquare
Tip to add, if nobody mentioned it (learned yesterday) scanning an empty planet/moon acquires u a completed survey (worth 4500/0weight) Love the tips, thx man
One thing i want to mention here is that the game is set to auto-run by default. You can change it to hold to run in the bindings. That way you can walk while encumbered without the oxygen issue.
Just a heads up... you only use oxygen when over encumbered while auto run is on. Auto run is on by default but, on PC, you can hit CAPS Lock when your oxygen is low, and continue walking while it builds back up. It's slow but faster than stopping, intermittently. It was the same on Fallout. What we see as normal speed is actually running (when auto run is on) and walking is slower but doesn't use O2/AP.
I'm enjoying the heck out the game , so worth spending 34 bucks with game pass to pre order, and I don't pre order anymore. Although I did have to buy an Xbox aswell , because I'm a pser, well now I'm both I guess.
No it's not bad at all. I am use to playing games at 120fps on my LG C1 65in with VRR and every badass option that the best monitors have my TV has including 5 HDMI 2.1 ports and I am super prone to The Soap opera effect fast motion and I can play starfield just fine . I have been playing about 3 or 4 hours just getting going andit's amazing. It takes a hour or 2 or at least it did for me to make my character because how important it background and traits are in building a character. Like ur story is different and different things happen and so much more depending on all that. I would watch a 5 or 10 min video on choosing character background and traits. It will make a massive difference in how long it takes for u to do things and get the best ships or stealth or pay for items.
I’m playing on my potato computer that’s a little below minimum specs and usually get 20s FPS, in combat sometimes teens, it’s not great but still seems better than anything else ive trying playing in the teens FPS wise
Thanks!! Started playing this weekend. I was a lil intimidated at first glance. Had to remind myself I'm a combat medic with years of service. I got this!!
I would also recommend getting the scanner skill at least level one for now, will do just fine trust me this will come in handy I have started off with Heavy lifting and stealth for now and my net will be scanner, Ecomerce and then Persuasion and so forth.
Amazing guide for noobies like me, and you actually followed through on your promise to not spoil anything, unlike a few others I watched! Thank u so much. Subscribed. 😊
Another vendor tip: after you've exhausted the vendors money, just sit on a chair somewhere and wait 48 hours, the vendor will have all the funds again and you can go about selling again, no need to run to different vendors etc.
31:15... on PC, you will only be able to keep, at most, 1 Quick Save and 3 Auto Saves (the 3 most recent). In addition, the game (on PC) will also Auto Save approx every 10-11 minutes (on pause... this setting can be changed in Gameplay), regardless of whether you enter/exit a new loading screen
You know the game has a lot of content when most of the videos are 30 minutes to an hour long. I've been enjoying the game quite a bit so far and I've barely touched combat. Been working for ryujin because they pay pretty well. I will watch this video in a bit after a couple errands.
@@ludwigvanbeethoven8164 You can't go into it thinking about Skyrim lol. Skyrim is amazing yes. I like the change of setting and to me it feels like they combined things from Fallout 4 (which I didn't like) and Oblivion (which I loved). It's a different game and I like it for that reason. It has its own identity.
In relation to ammo and companions, you only need to give them 1 ammo and they will have infinite. Check their inventory if they pick up ammo, and leave them with 1.
I can't thank you enough, just started looking at this game and your video was one of the best on tips I have seen yet. Very much going to follow most of what you pointed out. Thanks
Never heard of you, took a look, wow, nice, learned a lot, like your style...theres a lot of channels just trying to ride the popularity wave of this game for views...no background was named " Professional Hoarder " so I appreciate your insights on skills for now as opposed to ones for later...
As far as stat magazines go, im pretty sure they can spawn anywhere, including procedurally generated locations. I just clicked on a spot on the map for a random planet, found a derelict military base, and there were two magazines there.
Most important tip for console players, move the cursor away from your ship during ship building to access the ship module buying menu by pressing A. Why they did it this way boggles my mind, and no one else knew to explain this on youtube.
35:23 if you go back in your ship and sleep 24 hours or 50 in local time, the trade authority kiosk resets its vendor credits. Managed to upgrade my cargo hold and science labs are great places for tech
One thing: you don't have to worry, "if I unlock this skill, I won't have enough to unlock that skill later.". You will be able to unlock and upgrade every skill in the game, even without game+.
A couple additional ones: You can focus your cutting laser by "aiming" it which causes it to almost instantly destroy deposits. Overencumberance on an uninhabited planet or in town is not a problem. Sprint to your heart's content and drain that health down. It will stop draining at 10% health even if you keep going.
Quick note. You don't have to stop when over encumbered. There's an RP walk function. For me it's caps and you can recover O2 while walking. You can also speed up that walking if you're holding a weapon at the aim rdy, that'll slightly speed up your walk
i've been watching tips videos for an hour. one thing i saw is from your main menu in game you can access your ship cargo hold and deposit or remove stuff from *anywhere* pretty much. you can sell from your ship cargo at vendors too. so get some cargo pods for your ship to hold your loot and you're sweet. also, like old Bethesda games you can drop stuff on the floor and it stays there. cargo hold full and your inventory full but you want to explore one more region? drop a bunch of stuff on the floor in your ship.
@@equious8413 +10 carry? son, we're discussing techniques to properly HOARD in a Bethesda game. +10 carry isn't even 1 spacesuit. when i played Skyrim the very first time, before i left the first village the ground was COVERED in junk. i discovered that items put in a random chest disappear after a while but items dropped on the ground do not. until i got my own chest i would just have big piles of stuff in almost every major city (you had to drop items in a spot where people couldn't see you or they would run up to tell you that you dropped something and hand the item back to you). luckily, Fallout 4 practically gifts you 2 settlements at the start so i never had to do it there. but i have a feeling my ship will have stuff all over the floor for a while in Starfield (doesn't add to ship mass, doesn't count towards cargo). the first thing i will do when i find some contraband is drop it in my ship and test if the cops can detect it with a scan, i'm betting they can.
2:16 - idgaf how this dusty planet looks. It's spoiler free and i 100% do appreciate that. thx! EDIT: Not only is the video spoiler free, but the info provided is GOLD. Before i did watch the video i thought it can help me clearing up a few questions i had, but in fact it did teach me a whole lot more.
Been looking for an answer to this... Are Misc items in inventory only good for selling? I don't see any way to scrap items to gain crafting resources. Don't want to just sell everything off if they are useful for something else.
BIG TIP: Keep a Hazmat suit and all your injury meds (plus some food) in your captain's locker on the ship. That way, if you're out exploring/mining or whatever and you do have an issue, you can just fast travel back to your ship and take care of it. It saves precious inventory space when you're out and about.
17:55 companions only need 1 ammo to fire, they also never run out of grenades. until it gets fixed, you can drop items in your ship and it doesn't count towards your cargo mass. I assume it's because the various habs pack the ship full of junk. you also get infinite storage at the lodge, one in your room and one in the basement linked to the various stations.
@@GhostInPajamas that's fair, I just keep hearing reviewers saying not to spend points haphazardly, or the game will be ruined with any misplaced points.
@@Ebontis personally, I stopped Skyrim after the 2nd play through having become a vampire lord. I imagine I'll do probably double that amount of play time given I like Sci-fi more than fantasy. The game might be called Starfield but I'm living The Expanse vicariously through this game lol
I am encumbered but I am in the starting point and I plan on using my first skill on commerce and then using all the free stuff in the beginning to hit the commerce objectives so I can level that up fast and easy. I found you can hail a trader ship before you do the drop of the relic, so that's the plan today! Also companions need only 1 ammo, so they can hold great weapons with crazy ammo types or that burn ammo bc they don't pay for it! Easy way to make your companion OP.
Thank you this was really helpful. I would definitely like a ship building one. It seems really confusing. I want to add more crew and add beds and research to a ship, but have no idea how.
Hey man, awesome guide, lots of good advice and insights. Granted some are obvious to rpg and Beth veterans - but the variety of new mechanics is impressive. The game has potential and if performance gets a bit straightened out and modders sink their teeth into it - it may be a really great game down the road ( and it already started strong)
I was able to fast travel to Cydonia with contraband but It made me land on the outskirts like 800m away, haven’t tested it with other planets and contraband but some landing pad outside 800m away worked for me!
So pretty much this is basically Fall Out 4 in space like 1000 years into the future where the Commonwealth became the United Colonies in space after we blew up most of the earth with nukes. Seems pretty straight forward. I'm in, I know I had over a 1000 hours in FO4. Other than spaceships, everything else seems to work pretty much the same. Oh and great review. I purposely have not looked at games in the past few years cause they all kinda suck (except CP2077, and RE8) I liked both of those. So time to dust off the mouse pad and get serious.
Liked and subscribed. This was such an informative, zero spoiler video, and you have a great, calm way of speaking. I just listened to you while I did some 3D modeling and it was like listening to NPR.
The recent update dropped before I started playing, and I'm so glad it did. Being able to spot points of interest on a map outside scanner range is really nice.
For being over-encumbered, you can pull out a gun and aim down the sight while walking. This will have you move faster than the normal walk and will allow for your oxygen to build back up. A little secret I found out.

It's why Bethesda knows how to make games.
For ship upgrades. Grab the best powerplant you can fit early on. Being able to power your ballistics and lasers fully us very important to winning fights.
Or, alternatively, use automatic versions of one or the other. Instead of firing one shot and reloading, they can fire off long bursts on a single charge. I use pulse (automatic) lasers to quickly bring down enemy shields and only have one tick in my laser power grid. Usually that's enough, and if not a missile generally brings the shields down. Then I have tons of power to my regular ballistic cannons for sustained damage output.
Yep, build around your power! Nothing works unless you have the means to power it.
The warhorse at Neon is great for this. Comes with B/C class power levels at an A class
If you are carrying too much stuff, go into the menus and select your ship. Go into ship storage and then select your inventory. Then store the stuff you dont want to carry. I've done this while not on the ship. Plus whenever you go to shops to sell stuff, you can select your ship storage to sell from. So you dont need to carry it to venders.
Only works as long as you are within 250m of your ship
I have tried that but noticed if you are too far away it won't let you and I had to run back to my ship. For me especially the first ship the inventory is overloaded easily.
Alternatively, if your ships inventory is full you can just drop stuff inside of it and then store it into your inventory when it’s time to build or sell.

You might not be able to fast travel when carrying too much. But you can always send stufr back to the ship as long as you are in the same erea. Open the overview meny (tab) then klick the ship, then show cargo (g i think) then there should be a button to show your char inventory. From there you can move stuff to the ship with E.
Lol the ship inventory is full too ofcourse 🤦🤦😂😂
Whaaaat!? 🎉
Its not just same area, there IS a distance limit. Not sure what it is though.
It's like 250 meters
Another point on the “companions have inventory for you to use”, you can also use the inventories of your entire crew on your ship as well
Or just drop your inventory in the ship instead of transferring to cargo if your ship is full 😂
@@eatschmitt4265it can disappear.
If you give your companion grenades will they bomb you with them like fallout?
Every new companion became my inventory dump ,😅
Thanks for all the good info. I will add a piece of advice that really had me stumped when I first built an outpost. Storage boxes and crates are under decoration but they actually do allow you to store materials at your outpost. I am a packrat and any storage is good storage!
For endless storage all-in one container use your room safe in the Vault.
Be advised that your command level will dictate the amount of people that you can have for a crew, therefore you will be limited on how many people you can assign overall. Example- I have a ship that can have a five man crew, but I can only have a crew of three because of my command level. I found this out after hiring two people to make up my five man crew. GLk
That's good to know.
Is command level a skill that you can choose or something? Havent even heard of that yet haha
Same, how U increase command level ?
It's at the bottom of the social skill tree. You'll need to invest in quite a few social skills to get access to it.@@donquixote6939
You can "STORE" them like cargo? Dafuq? 😂
I learned the piloting skill points lesson the hard way when I tried to hijack a Spacer ship. I quickly found myself in orbit saying, "Oh crap, I can't pilot this thing. Mistakes were definitely made." Thankfully it was one of the few moments I wasn't over encumbered so I was able to just fast travel back to the Frontier. But it was a pretty scary & hilarious moment. Also I found it Interesting that you haven't found more magazines. I'm only 57 hours in & I've managed to find about a dozen of those things so far. If you're out there picking up every single microscope, book, tablet, and desk decoration you'll definitely come across more skill notes. It's nice that they made a little reward for all us loot goblins instead of just earning slightly more credits by hoarding loot & using all of your crew as pack mules. LOL
Yeah, I'm only 4 hours in and already found 3
Shoutout to my fellow space looters and hoarders 🫡
You can use the simulator with the Vanguard to level pioliting up quickly. It'll be just about the first thing you do when you join and you can redo as many times as you want.
I wish there were custom waypoints and points of interest markers. It would be nice to have city maps too. Other than that i am really enjoying it so far.
All good points.
Some of y’all never had to make the long haul back to new Vegas from the sierra madre with 1700lbs worth of gold and it shows 🤪
That was such a looooooong trek. However you only NEED to make it to Primm and use the Mojave dropbox to be able to fast travel.
@@shawnsumwalt8726 true that but that’s still a long walk, but I never complained lol I was rich! 😝 plus it taught me to grab that ‘Long Haul’ perk as early as possible in a playthrough
As for saving the game often, use F5 to quick-save and F9 to quick-load. This way you don't have to go into the save/load menu as often.
Random Detail (I don't really consider it a tip, but I noticed at some point) whenever you switch to scanner mode on the ground, your Character automatically equips the Cutter, so you don't need to waste a favorite slot for it or manually equip it or anything. Turn on the scanner, boom cutter ready, turn it off, back to your last weapon.
Yeah once you open the scanner if you pull out a gun you will always pull the cutter out. Pretty nice indeed.
Also if I have a bunch of extra crap in my inventory and the vendor is broke.... I just buy up the ammo/med packs/digipicks or whatever they have that I can always use more of.
related to your note about ammo and trade: if you need to dump inventory and the vendor doesn't have any credits left, invest in all the ammo. same goes for medpacks and anything else that weighs nothing. you'll use most of it but could sell it in the future if need be.
Been waiting to get on the Starfield train but these tips are simple and easy to understand. Totally make sense to a me, a future new player. Good job!!
When looking for planets for outposts, each biome has its own associated ores for extractors. The resources with the rarity markers (diamond to the side, 1, 2, or 3 of them) can be found anywhere on the surface. So look for a spot that has the local ore (or find a biome border) to get maximum resource extraction for a single outpost.
Your tips and step by step directions really helped me out. Even learning about the direction
arrows while scanning saved me big time.
7 minutes in and hands down the best tips video I have seen on RUclips. Awesome video keep up the good work 👍🏻
Added tips
1) Take targeting. Not only does it improve ship-to-ship combat, It allows you to target specific systems of an enemy ship (like engines), so you can board a ship and potentially claim it as your own.
2) Double trigger (both mouse buttons) on the cutter mines twice as fast.
3) Stealth is a good skill to take 1 level in early…if only for the stealth bar.
4) It’s ok to hold skill points if you are working towards a goal (like Security 3 or piloting 4)
5) The Den in the Wolf system doesn’t scan and has a trade authority vendor.
The hour I spent watching this guide is going to save me dozens of hours trying to figure this out myself. Make the ship building tutorial and any others you can think of. I need all the help I can get. 🙂 Thanks for the video. Very well done. 👍 Liked and subscribed.
Glad to hear it! More to come.
@@Ebontis Well I ran out of oxygen. Trying to fix that. Back to watch a second time because I'm pretty sure you said something about it 🙂
The guide is pretty good especially since the game throws you in the deep end quickly. It doesn't help when some of its systems are very counterintuitive at first. I just spent the last 30 minutes transferring and selling items. My character was at like 600 mass running to the kiosk in Atlantis.
Great beginner tips here! Props for the non-spoiler stuff too.
Unfortunately at 29:59 when you mentioned magazines only being in curated spots, that's sadly not the case. Procedural outposts/mines have static item placement outside of containers. So you will find multiple mining monthly magazines if you come across the same generated POI.
its crazy to me he only found 2 in 80 hours, ive found 6 in less than 20
Yeah I've found a half dozen at least
Same think i have found around 10-12 in my first 30hrs
Many thanks for this highly practical, spoiler free, introductory guide :> I plan on playing within a week or so better positioned~
Tip: I’ve seen a lot of people recommend lock picking as one of the first things to invest in, and it’s a good one to do so you’re not locked out of useful stuff, but it’s also handy to invest in the stuff you either don’t like doing or don’t fit your character. Like my character is far from a scientist so I don’t lean into surveying, but sometimes you have to, and being able to scan things, especially hostile things, from further away than close enough to ride them is very handy for time saving.
In my opinion, it is best to get as many things as possible at level 1. Because it will make your life through a lot easier.
@@sukiiriinaa eh, that can hold you back a lot in the stuff you really play into. It gets annoying not being able to use higher tier modules on a ship or not being able to boost much, etc if your skills are too spread out since it’ll take forever to get the higher tier stuff that way.
The scanner arrows are not necessarily just for quest markers - if you leave a map marker (user-defined - RMB) - and there are no active quests, the arrows will show the path to the marker.
34:26 I’ve found the “value” of items is what it would cost to BUY. Selling is like 10% of the value. It’s significantly less.
This is so well done! I love the tone and the pace. SO MUCH helpful content, too! I'm subbing!
I quicksave before doing anything because autosave happens on the other side. Jumping into hostile space? Autosave brings you to the beginning of the fight. If you're under leveled you're SOL.
I am 12 hours into this game and I’m really loving it
Same here! Slow start, as usual, but enjoying it. The hunger games music at launches is unnerving.
I'm loving it also. And that main menu music! Its so good!
50hrs in and only two tips were new for me, but revelations! Favorites...50hrs never setting up favorites...stunning. Lock picking and the blue circles...I've picked probably 200 by visually starting from the inside and working out before placing any pick. I have one extra quality of life tip for PC: rebind "Get Up" away from "E" to "G" or another key you won't be using while piloting your ship. Getting out of your pilot seat to take a leisurely stroll during space combat killed me many times before hunting down the key binding. Excellent Tips!
Love this, such a detailed game with a lot to figure out. Definitely one of the better “guides” out there.
Glad you think so!
Tip for the pilot skill. Grind the uc mast flight sim. You can go back and getting to round 3 is 5 ships. Rank 3 to 4 is just 6 of these. Took me like an hour to go from pilot skill level 2 to 4.
Great guide 👍👍 Would love a ship building guide.
have you played the game yet?
As far as the boost pack goes, there’s a secondary mode that will only activate if you bind an alternate key for jump. When you use the alternate jump key, you’ll boost forward instead of up, which makes traversal much better. Not sure how to do it on controller, but if you’re on Steam and you have programmable paddles, you can bind it that way
Spoiler free? tick. Actually good tips? tick. Long video to fuel my hype without killing the novelty? tick. Earned a sub - nice video!
Thanks for the kind words and the sun. 🥳
One correction on movement and over encumberance, if you walk but don't push the stick all the way, its possible to do a faster walk while recovering, without stopping. I had 800lbs on me and was still recovering while moving, and took out two elite on very hard, at level 12, while they were lvls 15 & 28. At the mantis room where you meet levy.
All that to say its manageable if your careful, and dont try to walk as fast as you can. Its better not to be, but if you are, you can still move while recovering.
i played through a large part of my game time over double the carry weight. i learned a few things from that: you can ads walk and regen o2. my process i used to travel kilometers overloaded is i running jump, boost pack as much as i can and when im about to land i ads and hold w, wait for boost pack to recharge, repeat process. eventually youll have too much co2 build up so i had to ads walk longer to get it down again.
what are you on about just walk
@@sneaky5141 when overloaded you will drain o2 even when walking. Pretty fast with heavier and heavy loads i think. If you walk you wont have oxygen to jetpack or run for that matter, because when overloaded, sprinting in a jetpack hover drains o2, just less than if you were running.
@@flute136 source i made it up 🤡
run yes. sprint as well. no o2 consumption when walking(ads). so basically what i do is i do the ads walk to get my booster charge back up/when co2 is almost capped, then i sprint jump, and boost. im not 100% on this but it seems like o2 consumption is lower when floating through the air than sprinting on the ground. @@Krispysquare
Tip to add, if nobody mentioned it (learned yesterday) scanning an empty planet/moon acquires u a completed survey
(worth 4500/0weight)
Love the tips, thx man
One thing i want to mention here is that the game is set to auto-run by default. You can change it to hold to run in the bindings. That way you can walk while encumbered without the oxygen issue.
Piloting tip...the sim in mast can get u all the pilot skills u need
Just started with gamepass version, loved your guides on destiny and look forward to more starfield content from you
Just a heads up... you only use oxygen when over encumbered while auto run is on. Auto run is on by default but, on PC, you can hit CAPS Lock when your oxygen is low, and continue walking while it builds back up. It's slow but faster than stopping, intermittently. It was the same on Fallout. What we see as normal speed is actually running (when auto run is on) and walking is slower but doesn't use O2/AP.
I'm enjoying the heck out the game , so worth spending 34 bucks with game pass to pre order, and I don't pre order anymore. Although I did have to buy an Xbox aswell , because I'm a pser, well now I'm both I guess.
No it's not bad at all. I am use to playing games at 120fps on my LG C1 65in with VRR and every badass option that the best monitors have my TV has including 5 HDMI 2.1 ports and I am super prone to The Soap opera effect fast motion and I can play starfield just fine . I have been playing about 3 or 4 hours just getting going andit's amazing. It takes a hour or 2 or at least it did for me to make my character because how important it background and traits are in building a character. Like ur story is different and different things happen and so much more depending on all that. I would watch a 5 or 10 min video on choosing character background and traits. It will make a massive difference in how long it takes for u to do things and get the best ships or stealth or pay for items.
I’m playing on my potato computer that’s a little below minimum specs and usually get 20s FPS, in combat sometimes teens, it’s not great but still seems better than anything else ive trying playing in the teens FPS wise
@nazizombie9774 No lol. People just want something to be mad about. 30fps is very playable
Thanks!! Started playing this weekend. I was a lil intimidated at first glance. Had to remind myself I'm a combat medic with years of service. I got this!!
Loved this video with no story spoilers! Thank you!
This game is very addicting idk how I’ve managed to put in so many hours but I have and it’s a lot of fun
I would also recommend getting the scanner skill at least level one for now, will do just fine trust me this will come in handy I have started off with Heavy lifting and stealth for now and my net will be scanner, Ecomerce and then Persuasion and so forth.
1:17 you can also do it from the mission screen the ship is never needed unless it is a ship mission.
Amazing guide for noobies like me, and you actually followed through on your promise to not spoil anything, unlike a few others I watched! Thank u so much. Subscribed. 😊
20:00 lol it can treat constitutions? So it can help enact new laws?
Another vendor tip: after you've exhausted the vendors money, just sit on a chair somewhere and wait 48 hours, the vendor will have all the funds again and you can go about selling again, no need to run to different vendors etc.
Yo thanks for the tip!
Great tip thank you. ❤
31:15... on PC, you will only be able to keep, at most, 1 Quick Save and 3 Auto Saves (the 3 most recent). In addition, the game (on PC) will also Auto Save approx every 10-11 minutes (on pause... this setting can be changed in Gameplay), regardless of whether you enter/exit a new loading screen
You know the game has a lot of content when most of the videos are 30 minutes to an hour long. I've been enjoying the game quite a bit so far and I've barely touched combat. Been working for ryujin because they pay pretty well. I will watch this video in a bit after a couple errands.
I think the game is good, not amazing. Its not skyrim.
@@ludwigvanbeethoven8164 it's not Skyrim, but it's very ambitious and it does deliver
@@ludwigvanbeethoven8164it gets better as you play. You have to have played for at least some tens of hours.
I know man there is so much to do. Been enjoying myself a ton so far.
@@ludwigvanbeethoven8164 You can't go into it thinking about Skyrim lol. Skyrim is amazing yes. I like the change of setting and to me it feels like they combined things from Fallout 4 (which I didn't like) and Oblivion (which I loved). It's a different game and I like it for that reason. It has its own identity.
Thanks for this video, just crossed level 17 and those were some great quality of life tips I'd have loved to know sooner.
In relation to ammo and companions, you only need to give them 1 ammo and they will have infinite. Check their inventory if they pick up ammo, and leave them with 1.
I can't thank you enough, just started looking at this game and your video was one of the best on tips I have seen yet. Very much going to follow most of what you pointed out. Thanks
Never heard of you, took a look, wow, nice, learned a lot, like your style...theres a lot of channels just trying to ride the popularity wave of this game for views...no background was named " Professional Hoarder " so I appreciate your insights on skills for now as opposed to ones for later...
Cool, thanks for the kind words. Hope this helped.
Yea, he's the man! Been following him since Destiny 2. Very thorough and easy to follow. Welcome to the community Sis!
As far as stat magazines go, im pretty sure they can spawn anywhere, including procedurally generated locations.
I just clicked on a spot on the map for a random planet, found a derelict military base, and there were two magazines there.
Most important tip for console players, move the cursor away from your ship during ship building to access the ship module buying menu by pressing A. Why they did it this way boggles my mind, and no one else knew to explain this on youtube.
35:23 if you go back in your ship and sleep 24 hours or 50 in local time, the trade authority kiosk resets its vendor credits.
Managed to upgrade my cargo hold and science labs are great places for tech
One thing: you don't have to worry, "if I unlock this skill, I won't have enough to unlock that skill later.". You will be able to unlock and upgrade every skill in the game, even without game+.
This is actually really helpful to know.
How so? Do you get enough skill points to unlock everything?
@flamedance58 yes. It will take awhile but there is no level cap
A couple additional ones: You can focus your cutting laser by "aiming" it which causes it to almost instantly destroy deposits. Overencumberance on an uninhabited planet or in town is not a problem. Sprint to your heart's content and drain that health down. It will stop draining at 10% health even if you keep going.
But cwn you heal up without using precious medkits?
@@MolnarG007 sleep in your ship
God it hurts seeing such a fluid framerate
Quick note. You don't have to stop when over encumbered. There's an RP walk function. For me it's caps and you can recover O2 while walking. You can also speed up that walking if you're holding a weapon at the aim rdy, that'll slightly speed up your walk
I find I am a hoarder in all the fall out games so I am used to walking vs fast traveling so I hope there are a lot of inventory upgrades.
i've been watching tips videos for an hour. one thing i saw is from your main menu in game you can access your ship cargo hold and deposit or remove stuff from *anywhere* pretty much. you can sell from your ship cargo at vendors too. so get some cargo pods for your ship to hold your loot and you're sweet. also, like old Bethesda games you can drop stuff on the floor and it stays there. cargo hold full and your inventory full but you want to explore one more region? drop a bunch of stuff on the floor in your ship.
If you choose the Kid Stuff perk, you can find your highschool backpack at your parents house. +10 carry 😂
@@equious8413 +10 carry? son, we're discussing techniques to properly HOARD in a Bethesda game. +10 carry isn't even 1 spacesuit. when i played Skyrim the very first time, before i left the first village the ground was COVERED in junk. i discovered that items put in a random chest disappear after a while but items dropped on the ground do not. until i got my own chest i would just have big piles of stuff in almost every major city (you had to drop items in a spot where people couldn't see you or they would run up to tell you that you dropped something and hand the item back to you). luckily, Fallout 4 practically gifts you 2 settlements at the start so i never had to do it there. but i have a feeling my ship will have stuff all over the floor for a while in Starfield (doesn't add to ship mass, doesn't count towards cargo). the first thing i will do when i find some contraband is drop it in my ship and test if the cops can detect it with a scan, i'm betting they can.
2:16 - idgaf how this dusty planet looks. It's spoiler free and i 100% do appreciate that. thx!
EDIT: Not only is the video spoiler free, but the info provided is GOLD. Before i did watch the video i thought it can help me clearing up a few questions i had, but in fact it did teach me a whole lot more.
Been looking for an answer to this... Are Misc items in inventory only good for selling? I don't see any way to scrap items to gain crafting resources. Don't want to just sell everything off if they are useful for something else.
Misc is generally for selling but i'm not 100%. Haven't gone as deep on crafting and outposts to know for sure.
The are some items that can be used for crafting but they tell you in their description
Best beginners tips video i ever seen. And i have seen a lot. I am not a beginner but find also 1 or 2 things i didn't knowed :) Keep the good work
BIG TIP: Keep a Hazmat suit and all your injury meds (plus some food) in your captain's locker on the ship. That way, if you're out exploring/mining or whatever and you do have an issue, you can just fast travel back to your ship and take care of it. It saves precious inventory space when you're out and about.
about to start my playthrough today ! this sounds like a good tip!
Why store food??? If you go back to your ship just rest in the bunk for an hour and it’ll heal you up 100%
You have a talent for breaking things down well. Great video I subscribed
One Tip that I can give is if you're going to do any piracy, don't take any companions with you. They will hate you for the rest of the game.
17:55 companions only need 1 ammo to fire, they also never run out of grenades.
until it gets fixed, you can drop items in your ship and it doesn't count towards your cargo mass. I assume it's because the various habs pack the ship full of junk. you also get infinite storage at the lodge, one in your room and one in the basement linked to the various stations.
So regarding skills, is there a hard cap on skill points preventing you from maxing out all skills?
There’s no level cap :) but I heard it would take something like 300 skill points to fully upgrade every skill
@@GhostInPajamas that's fair, I just keep hearing reviewers saying not to spend points haphazardly, or the game will be ruined with any misplaced points.
No it's more about the time you are willing to put in, I think the devs even said there wasn't a cap. Just how much one will play i guess.
@@Ebontis personally, I stopped Skyrim after the 2nd play through having become a vampire lord. I imagine I'll do probably double that amount of play time given I like Sci-fi more than fantasy. The game might be called Starfield but I'm living The Expanse vicariously through this game lol
I am encumbered but I am in the starting point and I plan on using my first skill on commerce and then using all the free stuff in the beginning to hit the commerce objectives so I can level that up fast and easy. I found you can hail a trader ship before you do the drop of the relic, so that's the plan today! Also companions need only 1 ammo, so they can hold great weapons with crazy ammo types or that burn ammo bc they don't pay for it! Easy way to make your companion OP.
Thank you this was really helpful. I would definitely like a ship building one. It seems really confusing. I want to add more crew and add beds and research to a ship, but have no idea how.
20:37 healing my “constitutions” one day at a time! Great video!
“That’s gonna be a 30 minute guide” *52 minute video*
Love that so many destiny creators are covering Starfield. This is my favorite Destiny downtime pastime now and im hooked lol
Hey man, awesome guide, lots of good advice and insights.
Granted some are obvious to rpg and Beth veterans - but the variety of new mechanics is impressive.
The game has potential and if performance gets a bit straightened out and modders sink their teeth into it - it may be a really great game down the road ( and it already started strong)
I was able to fast travel to Cydonia with contraband but It made me land on the outskirts like 800m away, haven’t tested it with other planets and contraband but some landing pad outside 800m away worked for me!
I loved how rare ammo was in Fallout3. It felt like such a great survival game bc of the rarity of ammo.
The Digi-Pick one helped me out a lot. And I was so confused when I use all my pics in one attempt
I hope in a future patch they keep the path in the scanner completely and not fade out. It gets annoying having to retoggle it.
Best guide and I’ve watched all of them most of them cover the same 10 things this has everything
So pretty much this is basically Fall Out 4 in space like 1000 years into the future where the Commonwealth became the United Colonies in space after we blew up most of the earth with nukes. Seems pretty straight forward. I'm in, I know I had over a 1000 hours in FO4. Other than spaceships, everything else seems to work pretty much the same. Oh and great review. I purposely have not looked at games in the past few years cause they all kinda suck (except CP2077, and RE8) I liked both of those. So time to dust off the mouse pad and get serious.
Liked and subscribed. This was such an informative, zero spoiler video, and you have a great, calm way of speaking. I just listened to you while I did some 3D modeling and it was like listening to NPR.
Awesome, thank you!
Always remember to make sure your helmet is on BEFORE getting out if your ship 😢. Now I have lung damage and can't run very much anymore 😷
You can just always leave it on an set it to automatically remove it if there is breathable air in the settings
@@flyingdutchman9053can I do this on console
As long as you are outside you can transfer stuff to your ship cargo and no longer be over encumbered. You don't even have to be near your ship
Bruh the game is out if u pre ordered it lol
The recent update dropped before I started playing, and I'm so glad it did. Being able to spot points of interest on a map outside scanner range is really nice.
For being over-encumbered, you can pull out a gun and aim down the sight while walking. This will have you move faster than the normal walk and will allow for your oxygen to build back up. A little secret I found out.
Thank you so much. This was a solid tutorial video and helped me correct a couple of practices I was doing incorrectly.
