New Starfield Location Mod Could Finally Fix One Of The Game's Biggest Issues

Despite the promise of 's massive universe, the worlds players can explore in the sci-fi RPG are surprisingly sparse, a fault that will hopefully be remedied after the launch of this new mod. Whenever players land upon a planet in, there's a high likelihood that whatever points of interest they discover will be copied and pasted from another location. There's a distinct lack of originality when it comes to the various discoveries users can happen upon, meaning it's fallen to the community to come up with a reason to explore the game's worlds.

Posted to the Creations page, user kaos_nyrb shared their «Avontech Suit Power Cores» mod which adds 16 points of interest to. These «Geo-Energy Emissions» can be found across the galaxy and each one contains a «Geo-Energy Crystallization» that can be acquired for a single-use suit upgrade. Players will need to overcome the Core Reavers who protect each new point of interest and in doing so, they'll gain access to 31 new suit improvements that range from dealing additional damage to protecting against specific elements or even buffing their character's stealth.

Mods have yet to make it to Starfield on Xbox, but once the Creation Club becomes available, there are a few mods all Xbox players should download.

While having an additional 16 points of interest to discover is already an exciting idea, some members of the community are hoping kaos_nyrb's mod sparks a new trend. Players are calling upon modders to create entire «point of interest» packs that simply add in new landmarks, events, and objects that could randomly spawn when landing on a planet. These could then be shared through Creations on the modding hub Nexus Mods so players could expand on their exploration options.

One of the most common complaints about is that while it does offer users a massive universe to explore,setting out on an adventure across a planet never yields much in the way of rewards. Loot is fairly generic meaning there's no incentive to break away
