Even before landing, Starfield tells you what a planet has to offer and whether a visit is worthwhile

earthpressnews

In Bethesda’s new sci-fi epic, Starfield, there will be countless planets that you can travel to and the game will tell you what to expect even before you land.

Starfield’s release is just days away and fans of the RPG are already busily sharing their observations from trailers and June’s gameplay showcase. The nature of the planets in particular plays a role again and again.

What does Starfield tell you about planets? If you are in Starfield with your purchased or self-built ship in space, you can hover over different planets with your cursor.

If you are with your cursor on a planet, you will see various information about the respective celestial body on the left side of the screen. In addition to the name and the system, you can already see here, i.e. before landing, whether a planet is fertile or not.

On top of that, you will learn whether and what kind of flora and fauna can be found on the planet, whether there is water and what kind of climate awaits you there.

For example, Reddit user Dull-Caterpillar3153 shared a screenshot with information about the planet “Porrima1” of the Porrima system.

    What does the information tell us? Given the details about a planet, you can answer some questions in advance about what you might find there. Can you move around without a space suit? Are there cities and outposts with humans or even other living beings?

    In the case of Porrima 1, the answer to these questions is probably “no”. Without flora, fauna and water, many creatures, especially humans, will find it difficult to survive there.

    Atmospheric, gravitational, and climate information also suggests that you will be dependent on your spacesuit.

    This does not mean, however, that a barren planet is completely empty. It is conceivable, for example, that space pirates or smugglers could be up to mischief and hide goods on such a planet.
