Here's what happens to Starfield when you stuff 50,000 potatoes into one room

If you've been wandering around rooms in Starfield wondering what would happen if you filled one with thousands upon thousands of potatoes, then wonder no more, as one player has done just that and recorded it for your viewing pleasure.

Inspired by the recent footage of one Starfield fan's potato-laden ship, streamer and Sony Santa Monica dev Alanah Pierce made it their mission to take experiments involving space spuds one step further, by seeing how many they could add to the game before it crashed. "I'm sure this will happen pretty quickly," she said in a video posted on YouTube, adding that she was keen to know if they continue to have physics if you crank up those numbers.

Pierce started things off slowly by adding just 100 potatoes. These move around if you step on them but don't get crushed under your weight, so presumably, the people of the future have found a way to make them sturdier. Things stayed pretty steady as the streamer added another 1,000 to the mix, at which point they really began pilling in the potatoes.

At 20,000 plus, the game started running noticeably slower, but undeterred, Pierce spawned in another 10,000. "Look at this horrific potato sea we've made," she said as companion Barrett, seemingly unsure of what to do in this situation, decided to creep slowly out of the room. Can't say we blame him.

After 40,000, the streamer reduced the graphical settings to the lowest possible. "I can't play the game anymore, and it looks terrible," she said, "and there's just so much constant noise that's either crewmates walking through potatoes because we now have so many of them or it's potatoes jumping on themselves."

Down to 6fps, Pierce added a further 10,000 and amazingly, even with 50,000 potatoes
