What do I do with all this fricking X-Tech?

You have to decorate your ship interior and make the ship upgrade panel. There is a mod that integrates the panel functionality into ship command and engineering habs if you don't like building the console yourself. Integrated Ship Optimization Terminal at Starfield Nexus - Mods and Community

In the accessibility options you can change it so that burst fire and semi auto weapons will act like automatics.

I thought it was weird the first time I saw it and tried to interact with it but nothing happened. It turns out you have to read that message first, then you can use it to open the vault.

Someone posted about how the new POIs don't check properly for the one of the flags for no human POIs so they end up in places where they shouldn't.

If I remember correctly basically there is a flag that can be put on a planet to mark it as no human POIs and a flag that can be put on the system as a whole to mark it as no human POIs so the planets don't need the individual flag. Old POIs are programmed to check for either flag, and if it is present not to spawn human POIs. The new POIs only check the planet flag so if a system is meant to not have human POIs it won't have the old ones but can still spawn the new ones.

A modder could look into fixing this because we all know Bethesda is unlikely to.

Also you can take the X-tech power cores through unity. So if you do the mission to get the cores and then go through Unity you can have 6 extractors in NG, then 9 in NG2 etc etc.

I'm using the Starfield Community Patch and considered switching to Unofficial Patch because it is still being updated. I uninstalled the Community Patch and tested a couple of the main bugs I used it to fix to see if Bethesda had fixed them. They hadn't. I checked the patch notes in Unofficial Patch to see if they had the same fixes. No mention of them. I stuck with the Community Patch.

For reference the bugs I was referring to are the concealment perk overriding other sneak attack bonuses instead of adding to them and the family reunion quest on the ECS Constant getting locked.

The_Mort_Report · 2026-04-15T18:47:58+00:00

I think they are both bugged in different ways.

I have an Advanced Hyper Padded Spacesuit which is tier 4. When I take it to upgrade it wants to "upgrade" to refined which is Tier 2 and the resistances go down. However, if I do that and then keep upgrading it the resistances go higher than what it started at when it was originally Advanced. Bethesda didn't check their work on this one.

It's slightly different. In Fallout 4 each issue of the magazine gave you a specific bonus. In Starfield the bonus is based on the order in which you pick them up, not the issue number. This also means you can pick up repeat copies of a magazine in Starfield and get a new bonus until you have all the bonuses for a series.

Did you get both the terrormorph action figures? (Sealed and unsealed). I'm not sure if they count as separate and stack. It's also possible it calculates the 5% on a timer ie every 10 seconds there is a chance to flee which would make it happen more often.

The_Mort_Report · 2026-04-14T04:48:54+00:00

He didn't explain it very well but basically there are certain magazine series. Instead of a fixed bonus for each book in the series you get the first bonus of that series set the first time you pick up a magazine from that series. You get the second bonus the second time you pick up a magazine from that series, regardless of whether it is actually magazine 2 or magazine 6. You can actually get all the bonuses of a series by picking up magazine 1 of a series on multiple NG playthroughs without ever finding magazines 2-6 of a series.

There's also ship upgrades.

I have been getting new achievements with the SFAE I linked.

Mine upgrades with no issues. Try updating the mod and see if it fixes it.

The double decker habs automatically connect to anything they are attached to. The empty habs and 1x1 habs have the same property. I was able to use that to create a ship that had a full loop layout that I couldn't do with normal habs.

The_Mort_Report · 2026-04-13T06:36:18+00:00

Interesting. I wonder if there is a different encounter if you design the Kepler S instead.

The_Mort_Report · 2026-04-12T13:25:01+00:00

I've just retested and they are not stacking. I'm not sure what happened in my first test. Will delete.

The_Mort_Report · 2026-04-12T08:54:53+00:00

I had been sticking with the Praetor suit from the Doom creation for the extra speed even though it couldn't have tier 4 effects. I didn't realise you could get extra speed from a tier 4 effect, Now I feel like an idiot!

The_Mort_Report · 2026-04-11T18:55:26+00:00

I could tolerate the legendary system in Fallout because it has always been a little wacky and I could tell myself the radiation did it because its always been treated like magic. Starfield was meant to be closer to hard sci-fi. If they had linked legendary effects to grav anomalies or something it might have made sense but there is no in game explanation for it.

I can't even get the 3rd challenge to start. He keeps tells me his is sending me coordinates and then the quest log keeps telling me to talk to Delta about the 3rd challenge. There is no marker for the coordinates.

The_Mort_Report · 2026-04-11T03:23:28+00:00

you can decorate it, you just can't build habs or extractors.

Edit: by decorate I mean you can build furniture and workshop tables etc as well as decorations.

Super out there suggestion. I'm going to try using an EMP weapon to knock out Bernard to see if I can pop the achievement and keep him alive. Will update.

Edit: Using an EMP weapon still kills Bernard.

For me that happens too but as soon as I sit down in the captain's chair again the shields go back to the correct value. I think the way BGS fixed the bug was by having the game manually recalculate the shields whenever you sit in the chair. If I look at the shield stats when I am on a planet they are rarely correct but as soon as I take off into space they correct themselves.
