Kreet, moon of Anselon, is one of the first places that players will be able to visit in Starfield. It's on this moon that they will first receive the Scanner and gain access to useful tools such as the surface map and Photo Mode. Once gamers are able to use the Scanner, they'll also have the ability to gather survey data.

Fans will obtain a Survey Slate for every planet or moon that they fully scan in Starfield. Afterward, these slates can be sold for a decent amount of money. This guide will show players how to survey Kreet and obtain its survey slate.

Updated on September 6, 2023, by Ashely Claudino: Right after completing the first set of tutorials on Vectera, gamers will have to go to Kreet to deal with some pirates that have taken over a research facility to use it as a base. While this is the main objective of the One Small Step mission, gamers will also gain access to the Scanner tool once they land on Kreet. For an early XP boost, gamers can put the mission on hold for a few moments and start surveying Kreet in order to gather useful data on its fauna, flora, and resources. This guide contains everything players need to know about Kreet's wildlife and environment, including how to completely survey it.

Biomes on Kreet

Even though gamers will find barren planets, there are diverse ecosystems with all sorts of landscapes and varied alien life. Kreet is a temperate astronomical object, and it sits comfortably in the Narion System, so it has the ability to harbor life.

In total, Kreet has three different biomes to explore, and gamers will have to visit all of them if they'd like to scan all the plants and wildlife that inhabit Anselon's moon. The poles are considered frozen volcanic areas; the areas surrounding its north pole are part of the Mountains biome; and most of the planet is volcanic.

Gamers can open the Kreet Starmap and select a specific area of the planet; this will inform them of which type of biome they'll be traveling to.

Resources and Life on Kreet

To fully survey Kreet, players will have to scan all its fauna and flora as well as its resources. On Kreet, players will find three species of animals, three plant species, and eight resource types.

Resources only have to be scanned once, but plants and animals must be scanned quite a few times in order to acquire all the important data on them. Players can invest in the Zoology and the Botany skills in the Science Skill Tree in order to gather more data in a single scan - this will definitely speed up the surveying process.

Fauna

Although the wildlife that gamers will come across on Kreet isn't hostile, it's not necessarily friendly either. Gamers can safely approach it and scan it freely, as long as they keep a comfortable distance. Here are all the animal species found on Kreet:

There are eight different resources on Kreet. Gamers can find various resources in the same area of the planet. However, certain resources are considerably more abundant in specific areas.

To check out resource distribution on this moon, gamers must open their Starmap, select Kreet, and then choose the Show Resources option; they will see the areas where they will be able to easily find each available resource. Here are all eight resources in Kreet:

  • Helium-3 (He-3)
  • Argon (Ar)
  • Water (H20)
  • Lead (Pb)
  • Silver (Ag)
  • Iron (Fe)

How to Discover Kreet's Trait

Some planets and moons have their own unique traits, but gamers will have to explore them in order to uncover these mysterious traits - oftentimes, this is the hardest part of surveying planets in Starfield. To discover Kreet's trait, gamers have to open their Scanner and point toward the Unknown markers that appear on the horizon. Scanning these markers will reveal the type of point of interest that they are. Gamers must keep doing this until they find a marker that reads "Natural", and then they must follow it.

Once fans approach the Natural point of interest, they can scan it again to find out its name, and this will reveal it to be an Unexplored Geological Feature. They must then keep their Scanner activated, as they will need it to find the two pieces of evidence required to unearth the crucial information necessary to reveal the planet's trait.

Gamers should avoid approaching the gas and water near these Unexplored Geological Features, as they contain microbial toxins that will decrease their total health until they return to their ship.

Players will be able to locate and scan two large structures near the Natural area. These are two eroded reef outcroppings that must be scanned, as they will provide evidence of long-vanished oceans that existed on Kreet. This will reveal Kreet's Deep Ocean Deposits trait.

Once players have scanned all life on Kreet and revealed its trait, they will receive its Survey Slate. There are various vendors and traders that will purchase Survey Slates. However, gamers can sell them to Vladimir at The Eye for a hefty amount of money, as he makes a better offer for these Survey Slates.

Starfield is now available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
