One Rare Starfield Planet Proves There Are Interesting Places; They're Just Hard To Find

screenrant.com:

players have found a fascinating, unique planet that proves the open-world galaxy has plenty of wonder to offer — players just need to know where to look. With 1,000 different planets to explore, it seems like there should be a lot of variety from one to the next. But unfortunately, there just isn't. Most planets are cookie cutter copies, cut from one of a few preset molds. 's aliens lack personality, its points of interest are repetitive, and its space travel is overall lackluster.

That all amounts to a major problem for , and many players ascribe their eventual burnout, in no small part, to the diminishing returns of sustained space exploration. Still, there may be some worthwhile planets out there yet — they're just few and far between, and it might take players a while to find them. But whether the sights they see, and the rewards they discover when they finally get there, are worth it is another question entirely.

The Starfield 1.11.36 update has a bug that has made stealth attacks incredibly overpowered or utterly useless depending on specific circumstances.

player jCrizzwald has discovered a lake of lava on the planet Tirna II, creating a sight unlike anything seen elsewhere in the game. The lava lake appears to be located near a point of interest — a small base consisting of a single structure and a few stacks of crates. Appropriately, it's within a larger biome of dark, seemingly igneous rock, and there doesn't appear to be much plant life in the area save a single tree that appears in the corner of the video.

This is a truly unique area, and one that, as many players profess in the comments, appears to be pretty rare. Some didn't even know such a thing was possible, and haven't seen lava elsewhere in-game. But the lava isn't just a cool visual effect; it also creates an additional problem for the player to solve. The point of interest they may want to reach is right in the middle of the lava lake, so they'll have to jump or jetpack around it to explore
