Use the scanner when exploring cities and settlements to check people’s names. If a unique name, go talk to them. They often have small quests for you.

Crew skill explanations really needs to be added in-game. It's a little crazy how little it is explained when it can have a significant impact.

Thing I learned, if the game won’t let you fast travel to a place you normally fast travel to you might have contraband in your inventory. 😅

Don't sleep on the amps. 30% speed and 2x jump height increase are massive and also apply to your jet pack boost. You don't need any skillpoint investment and the ingredients are dirt cheap. You can craft around 20 amps in one atlantis or neon vendor run, or better yet, do an argon outpost and have amps for days. Funny thing is it doesnt even say amps are addictive in game, but I can't play without them.

Galbank foreclosed my uncle's farm. He had to sleep outside and an Aceles stepped on him. Crushed his legs. Now all he does is beg in Neon for Aurora.

Heres some things: have a crate of helium 3 in your outpost increases your grav jumps range, the payloads skill actually makes it harder to detect contraband you are carrying, staying still in shadowed areas is massively important to stealth the difference between being in the shadows and being in the light is.... Night and day and you can sell certian books like dracula, moby dick and the theory of evolution to a shopkeeper in akila for 2000 creddits each.

I'm a big Laredo fan in Starfield. As a Scoundrel, it seemed like a no-brainer to max out Pistols, Ballistics, Persuasion, and Piloting. Really sets up that Wild West, or Han Solo feel.

Great vid fudge. My fave thing to enjoy recently is setting my grav to one. Set destination, hold select and enjoy a glorious 360° view of my Star Raven and or close gas giants before zipping off to destination. Stealth is underrated, Katydid is a beautiful setting for a base. Xenomorph skill has been my clutch when exploring. Va'ruun weaponry is disgustingly good

Thank you for the video. Here is somethings I wish I had tried earlier. May as well try Persuasion, even if you have no points in the skill. I resolved a potentially dangerous quest against two very powerful enemies by talking them down. It's all a random chance and you may get lucky. Worse case is, you have to do it the hard way, which would have been required anyway. With Security/Digipicks, line up all of the layers before you start activating them. You will be more likely to spot errors with the pattern and save yourself some Digipicks along the way.

Thank you for being so kind! I’ve perused forums where people ask for clarification on these topics and end up dealing with the fedora squad who laugh at honest questions because they’re “not paying attention to the tutorial” and “clearly playing a game that they’re not skilled enough to attempt” Like maybe I’m not the smartest cookie but I’ve put countless hours into Bethesda games and the Starfield tutorial was genuinely awful 😂 Dealing with an onslaught of transparent text boxes with walls of information while you’re in an active firefight? Yeah I’m not retaining much of that

Whoa that crew member skill info is huge. I had no idea the skills were doing that. I gotta say I kinda had a feeling skills didn’t stack but I’m keeping Amelia and Sam on the team. Having 8 crew members is great. Also I had no idea Sara did that. I always assumed vasco was free

The explosion perk is applied when using explosive rounds. Like the number of times that you need to use explosive devices to get to the next level and also the bonus you get for each perk.

You should combine these “Things I Wish I Knew” videos into one long movie. I gotta say I’m very disappointed about the crew not giving ships weapon damage, since I didn’t want to put points into ship weapons. I was maybe going to do shields and engineering for a tough ship.

Something I learned recently: looking at the planet map, the carat ^ next to the landing zone is a fast travel icon straight back to your ship. (Sure you can surface map, and press Y on controller, or just look for the ship in the scanner... But you can get back to the ship right from the map too)

Nice video as always. Talking about Coe making our ship faster, I would like to see a guide from you guys, explaning the influence of companions skills on our own.

Two important ship parts to remember are the 40 power c class reactor unlocking at level 57 and the 39 power b class reactor at 60

Space Combat - for Xbox, hit the right bumper while turning let’s you use the ships thrusters. You can execute really sharp turns!

Can't believe I'm still learning new mechanics nearly a month in

For us Xbox gamers, i found (thru Google and use) that there are some hidden functions - of which one i thought was PC exclusive. Pressing and holding B while flying, will allow you to exit the pilot seat and then walk around like normal. For the first several hours (like 15 or so), i thought you could only do this when docked or landed. And 2nd, in the ship builder interface, quite a few guides made reference to a PC function of being able to select a point on a ship and have a filtered list of only those parts that would be allowed. On Xbox, if you hold both Trigger buttons and then press A, we can do the same.

Strangely, I did the GalBank missions right after I started my first playthrough on early access.

I personally would love a crew perks guide bc like you said everything isnt explanied very well. Love the vid and cant wait to see the Ronin build

Great video as always! I was under the impression that Vasco was the free crew member since he is a robot and just seems to hibernate while on the ship. Also, anyone looking for the debt collector chain can just follow the dream home quest if they started with that trait!

I suggest taking and sticking with the Wanted trait. It leads to some surprising and edifying situations once you start getting to lvl 15-20.

8:40. You might want to look at Vasco. He has 1 point in aneutronic. That gives 1 extra point for power. It showed earlier in the video you had him assigned to crew.

If you're over encumbered and walking ADSing a weapon will make you walk about twice as fast. My contribution to the tips and tricks lol.

We need a guide for vendors who carries better odds of finding rare ammo like 40mm xpl, 9x39 and 45acp ammo, 6mm MI etc

I got a pro tip that I keep telling myself every time I play Starfield but still never listen. USE YOUR AID ITEMS. If you’re the type of person that scavenges literally everything before leaving somewhere, then you surely have a bunch of med packs, amps, Hippolyta, etc. You gotta consider your aid inventory more often.

This was by far the best video of things you didn't know! Thanks so much guys for doing what you do!

You have the best channel HANDS DOWN. When it comes to ES and now Starfield your RP videos are too notch

This is definitely the best “wish I knew “ video I’ve seen. I didn’t know a lot of this. And I felt like I’ve pretty much figured everything out.

So what I feel I've discovered about exploring is setting down at any random point is going to give you a zone that pulls from a list of locations for that stars level. And you'll urn through the random stuff pretty quickly, although you'll continue to see new stuff, just basic RNG principles. Don't know if there are rarity tables or it's all uniform. Landing spots seen from orbit I think are generally unique. What's around them definitely pulls from the same pool, but it also seems there may be other guaranteed unique locations you wouldn't get when you just pick a point on the globe and land. I think the idea was always pick a faction or two, do the radiants and main quest. Explore the vicinity of the fixed locations, finish the main quest and take a different path through on each new game plus. It's absolutely not balanced for scouring everything, even more so than FO or ES. You're supposed to get the opportunity to explore everything through multiple runs. I wish I had understood that up front. The game may give you the freedom to "play how you want" but it's only really tuned to play well through a fairly specific and infuriatingly unspoken game loop. It's not linear, but it has a back bone you need to follow as scaffolding for the experience to make sense. And it's the lack of sign posts for how the game was designed to be played, lazily couched as "player freedom" that I think is the biggest flaw.

I’d love a deeper explanation of the crew systems between the ships and the outposts. I’m still not 100% if people are assigned or not if they do what they are supposed etc.

Every peron on your ship can carry their own weight. One person i have carrying extra guns. Another I carrying space stuff. The 3rd id have carrying resources and whatnot. That helps out tremendously.

Glad i learned that stealth one right off the start. Helped so much in my firsy rhonin play through

These'll help. Your videos have been a source of info since I started playing

Nerudyne Botany Lab is actually part of a misc quest I randomly came across! I actually dont remember how I got there but there was slate in the end of dungeon instead of treasure chest you usually find, and i believe the quest made you go 3 different places and this location was 2nd from last.

Love your Starfield videos, Fudgemuppet!

I have found a strange Zen i this game of going to the SysDef ship (I can't remember the name. Vengeance? something like that?) And picking up a mission at the board to go and hunt a thing, that is what I use as my next stronghold to assault mission. I don't really care about the pirate I have to hunt, just that it will bring me to a location where I can begin a shootin'. I am a Sniper so I snipe as many as I can, before I whip out my close range rifle and finish everything off. Pick up the spoils, collect my bounty, and go again. only downside is Docking at the ship and having to undock is a bit annoying every time x.x

Yep, that abandoned mine with the swarmlings and Swarm Sisters was an interesting one...found on Jemison while surveying.

Would be pretty cool if the next build had that sneak + melee + EM weapon feel to it. Been pretty fun on my end so far and very effective

I’ve found not empty boxes and garbage rooms picking the hardest locks and found my best loot in some of the easiest cases, especially during quests and main missions. I think it’s so we all get an even chance at the good stuff, you just might find some aid or credits in the harder locks or find a way to bypass a dangerous area.

Very interesting with Piloting skill boosting speed but not letting you use class B or C ships. I also noticed through testing that Sarahs astrowhatever skill won't increase your grav jump range (which is rank 1 bonus) but will decrease your fuel cost, (rank 2)

Gal bank was the first quest I did after turning in the artifact 😅. I loved it as I chose bounty hunter background.

Even though i have encountered quite a few bugs i still enjoy the game. I just wished that i could bring one or two self built ships with me on the next playthrough. They could give you an option to choose the Starborn or your own ship, or maybe that one or two selected self built ships would be available at a vendor.. oh, and the locks started to REALLY annoy me.. it takes up so much time when you add them up. i downloaded the lockpick mod and now it's basically two slots and done. There are waaaay to many locks to pick that have NOTHING of vallue inside the lockbox/safe. Just a waste of time.

@2:50 there's a Reddit post where someone when thru using commands and determined level-by-level when each part would be available and thr primary location. Great resource (except for the visual part) on how to plan a ship build.

The Damage perks for actual weapons like Ballistics or Shotgun certification on crew does stack with the players perks, ive found.

Amazing work. As always. Look into Erick quest to recruit to ship, plus Sam it’s fast!

just discovered that you can use explosives to free the artifacts from the bedrock instead of having to pull out the mining laser (using a bridger)

6:53 Without spoiling anything I’ll say that you do get rewarded for investing in master lock picking late game in quite a few quests especially quests like “entangled” and “revelation” where having a master lock pick skill gives you access to master locked rooms that will open new opportunities for you to discover hidden third options in quests that seemingly have a binary decisions or help you gain access to computer consoles that will let you control robots and turrets that make hard quests significantly easier

Here's a *VERY* important tip: The power _"Parallel Self"_ requires you complete a quest with Barret. If Barret dies during the quest "High Price to Pay" before unlocking the power then it becomes impossible to unlock that power in that playthrough.

You have a real skill at spaceship paint schemes. Every one's a winner.

Love everything you guys have put out so far! Is there an outpost guide in the pipeline?

Great video. Love this game.

There are some ship weapons that function a bit differently, so maybe Barret would be more useful with a particle beam that has a firing speed based on power, rather than recovery.

Loot is influenced by the difficulty of the game. So only having a high lockpicking perk is not enough. Set the difficulty higher and you get better loot more often. There are "guides" which tell you to save your game before entering certain areas with many items and if you arent satisfied with the loot you can load the save file, set the difficulty higher and enter again to get better loot.

Great job. Wow I've missed a lot.

Gal Bank quests were one of my first side quest finds. It was a great credit boost for my aggressive negotiations diplomat lol

I have noticed two things, Loot isn't based on lock level true its all RNG, but based on difficulty level. I have gotten alot more EPIC/Legendary items playing on very hard. I also noticed, if I leave the hardest NPC alive last, they always carry an "enchanted" item. So i just quick save and quick load, and they change what they carry. Just keep doing it until you get what you want. Every single procederal base, has a "boss" character in the end of it.

If you want the max possible reactor power for you ship, you need sam coe, omari hassan and a charcter with aneutronic fusion, such as vasco. Only mentioning this because he implied that vasco alone was a reasonable substitute for omari, but having both gives you two power, so you might as well. Vasco also guards your ship which can actually be useful. So i still think it is optimal to have both as crew members assigned to your ship, even though you only get the 20% shield buff from one of them

I would love a video all about crew skills. Another thing, I don't recommend trying to get super good guns early in the game if someone is new because I somehow got my hands on an advanced Urban Eagle somewhere around level 22 and I feel like I was robbed of the excitement of finding loot for a long time because even legendary guns were just not as good.

The good thing about Sam Coe is the Cora/Sam banter on the ship imho 🤣

Love the survey planet and drop off quests with crimson. Drop off passengers,kill pirate all in 2-3mins than more xp and sights from surveying. Still dont get the cargo link missions though and skip mine or complex bounties

My favorite pistol so far is easily gotten all you gotta do is join the freestar faction (HQed in Akila), they'll ask you to complete one bounty hunter type mission before you join, but when you do they give you the pistol (OK I had it in my head when I started typing but can't think of the name now lol...). I also like the Magshot I found in a locked chest atop Neon... but I think that's random... and those mag weapons are super hard to aim for some reason in my opinion.

I got that abandoned oil rig looking thing with the alien monsters as a random location at a "kill X pirate on X planet" mission from the mission board. So, they're definitely possible to get that way.

I would love a video about the crew skills and each of the benefits

Those creepy alien creatures on the rig, kind of like spiders with webbing between their legs, are the creatures you come across when doing the companion quest for Barret. Also, the big ship shown at 13:20, is that one you built?

I believe I did see a tip on a loading screen that stated something to the effect that npcs skills don’t stack with each others, only you the player’s.

Great stuff

That horror show was on Titan for me, thought it would be empty and saw this massive oil rig, pretty cool

Also every planet you land on spawns a new era, example would be if you land on a moon and made a landing area but exit out the planet and land right next to that landing area mark you made. it’ll be a whole new location with stuff to explore. I learned this when I was trying to walk to new Atlantis with contraband but everywhere I landed by New Atlantis was a whole new location to explore lol.

When you were talking about crew slots. Ive had 8 people including myself on the mantis; 2 crew limit ship. I was seeing how many people i could have on there and finally got tired of having to punch people out of my way. yorkie

Thank you for mentioning that botany facility. I would have never found that one. Are there more locations like that?

I am just playing starfield vicariously through all of you

I wish I had known that this is totally softcore compared to NMS. You can even reset your traits, so no need to do Alien DNA as I did. It is probably a good late game trait. Also the vital mining and base building for getting you fuel does not exist here. The one and only skill that not only makes you travel out of dangerous situations, but more importantly the creature comfort that follows and makes the game more fun: Weight Lifting. It is SO annoying to walk mile after mile because I forgot to drop off some important stuff. Also, if you are "trapped" you can simply fast travel to another location. Boost Pack: You can fall off the tallest building at cushion the fall by a burst. Also it will let you get to strategic places and even relocate you in tight battles. Targeting: Even though I had it, I did not know how to use it PROPERLY. Spent 140K in weapon changes which could have been avoided by simply knowing how to go for the engines with any weapon. Important skill tree: Tech. Even in the fiercest battles against terormorphs and others, you can simply run behind cover and decide what to do next. Even find a bed for free healing or simply bug out. You CAN'T do that in space surrounded by enemy ships. Of course with all bars lit on the grav drive, you can bail in a second. I see that most of the game is fought in the space suit, so most will probably spend points there and physical. If you fully ignore tech tree, I'd recommend doing the Rangers stuff to get the Star Eagle. I had C pilot and could not put any better on that A ship. I think it will last past lvl 40 without contest from pilot C stuff. Aside from turrets, which is why I went for C.

I learned in ship building that you can hide engine parts. If you don't have the space at the back or sides to fit all the engine parts but want that max mobility, simply place it inside the hull and the game won't care

Definitely invest points into laser weapons, that last perk makes the cutter the most OP D.O.T. weapon in the game, no joke.

The more late game ship weapons take alot longer to recharge. So the crew skills help. And I like having my crew of 9 members. There is a really good guy with rank 3 shields and 1 repair in Akila city bar.

More onto secret areas, lost ships have been the most “dark” discoveries I make. Like the guy who got lost using his hyper drive and made notes back to his wife, or the worst being the couple who lost their daughter and went to spread her ashes in space, only for the wife to unexpectedly let her life go. I couldn’t find what the husband did, but you’ll find both parents frozen on their ship together and belongings to the daughter all over the ship

What I want to know and haven't found an answer for anywhere is, at the beginning of ng+ if I choose skip main campaign can I still do faction quests!? Crimson fleet, vanguard, freestar ranger etc?

I love finding the magazines with stat boosts

I just found that swarmed mining place with the swarmlings in the Groombridge system last night.

Are there stories tied to the col places you show at 3:40 like notes that you can find to understand what happened like terminals of FO ? or are those places just cool to see but you'll never have anything to learn about them ?

Watching your video, I noticed a few outfits I haven’t seen before. Are they apart of the vanilla game or mods?

The thing about Sarah, Vasco & Sam...while using the skill "Isolation", they won't count s crew.

I would like to see a character pilot the ship and leveling characters skills with slotted positions since the best crew are good guys and suck to take when pirating. Also robot model S companion(dog with guns)?!?!

I'm an 8 bit Galaga kinda guy...From the videos, this game looks like a masterpiece...but it looks like it may be too complicated for a one button player like me. 🥺

Are all of those set planet locations like the abandoned farm you showed off different on each planet? Do they all have interesting stories attached to them?

Love your videos. Thing i just found out after 160 hours i started a new character i have gotten to level 18 now i was planet hoping and exploring stole a ship and then went to leave and it had no jump range i was stranded on the planet ...... waited 3 days no new ships had to reload a old save point.

Did you happen to try if you had multiple weapons equiped in the slots of the quick menu? While testing stealth?

Man your game looks so fluid and crisp, can you tell us what mods/settings you are running?

Don’t know if it’s just me but I just found out in your spaceship you can hold the change camera button (on controller, don’t know about keyboard) you’ll free look in first person. Third person don’t know why you’d use it. Maybe a cinematic view but still I’ve been looking for the free look button

Finally did the NG+10 grind, will be fun to actually begin the game now.

Thank you

Oh cool the abandoned mining platform. Definitely right out of a horror movie. I found it on Titan.

That abandoned mining platform with the swarmlings spawned on titan (moon of saturn) for me.

Other Joe acting keeps getting batter and better.... As Andreja here ... he was like Maryl Streep, kudos OJ!!!

So, I just finished my first playthrough and have begun NG+. I want the Mantis set and Razorleaf back, which I had found purely by accident my first time after hearing about it. Do I NEED to resume with a full main story or can I still obtain it fairly quickly by skipping the main storyline still? I know that I need to find it off a Spacer still, but I didn't play much on the pirate side the first time, I stuck pretty true to the Constellation roots by only opening fire when NEEDED. I just don't know how much more difficult it'll be to obtain the mission trigger item without going through the story again

I hate that they took the legendary system from fallout 76 and put the tier system on top of that. With no option to upgrade the damn things in the tier list.

It's definitely fun trying to find really skilled crew, especially ones with special abilities beyond just the basic ones. They are super rare however so it's almost better to invest in more crew slots after you find the crew worth adding.
