Thinking about jumping into Starfield but worried about the levelling up grind? This player has a top tip for you.
YouTuber Maka91Productions has released a full guide about their clever way to maximise your XP. Admittedly, you won't be able to get to it immediately – you'll need some skill points and the Outpost Engineering skill to set it up, as well as be pretty comfortable with the game's mechanics – but once you've a few hours under your belt, make sure you research power generation and resource extractors at a Research Laboratory.
How you configure your ship is just as important, too. As The Loadout notes, you should ensure your ship can carry 2000-3000 cargo space, and then make a beeline for these resources: Adaptive Frames (18), Aluminum (124), 2Beryllium (24), Copper (30), Fiber (2), Iron (99), and Tungsten (24) from Jemison Mercantile and the store on ship.
Your next step is to head to Sumati's moon Andraphon, which has oodles of iron and aluminium up for grabs. Establish an Outpost in the mountains where you can extract both iron and alumium in the same place — a precise location is given in the video above – and place down six alumium extractors and six iron ones. Then place 10 solar arrays to power everything.
«Place three storage bins by the alumimum, and three storage bins by the iron,» Maka91 says. «Connect all the extractors to a storage bin, and then link that storage bin to the others in the group. Repeat for both extractors. Lastly, place a industrial workbench and bed. Go to sleep, and on this moon, one hour of local time is equal to six hours of universal time, meaning you'll fast forward 140 hours in a 24 hour sleep. When you wake up, you'll have storage bins full of your resources.»
