A new Starfield mod allows players to construct multiple space stations in the game. Starfield players can build ground-based outposts, but space stations are not possible at the time of this writing.
When Starfield players land on a new planet, they can build outposts using specific resources like Aluminum, Lead, and Sealant. These mobile bases are where players can rest their heads, extract valuable resources, and manage research stations. They can be constructed on almost every planet after maximizing the Planetary Habitation skill in the Science tree. The core part of outposts is habs, which dictate the type of companion players can recruit. To build a galactic homestead in Starfield, it's essential to bolt together different modules and assign companions to help generate resources.
Starfield Stat Reveals Surprising Way People Play the Game
A Starfield statistic reveals a surprising way in which people play the game, sparking some discussions within the community of players.
A new Starfield mod shared by vexthecollector on NexusMods lets players build their very own space station. The original poster provided step-by-step instructions on how to make cozy bases, saying that players must create an outpost, head to the Misc section in the menu, craft a space station control pad, and click on the small terminal. After reading a message, they must click the "modify space station" button to convert their ship into a custom base. One thing to note is that players can't decorate the interior part of their station.
The original poster claimed that players can sometimes be unable to dock their ship onto the station, but they are free to transfer cargo from/to their outpost on the ground. Interestingly, vexthecollector developed this mod using codes that were already available in Starfield, which hints that Bethesda is planning to bring the space station building feature.
Many Starfield players are calling on Bethesda to add the ability to construct space stations, which can make space exploration even more immersive. They think these custom bases should allow them to dock all their vessels, set up trade deals with other factions, and send companions on missions across the star system. It remains to be seen if the developers will respond to this request from the community.
Since the game's launch, Starfield players have developed custom mods to improve the enemy UI, add new features to the ship builder tool, and more. It will be interesting to see what other mods the Starfield community dreams up in future.
