Starfield players are shooting up to level 100 in a matter of hours, purely through crafting

techradar.com:

A YouTuber may have found the quickest way to gain experience and level up in Starfield, and it involves a whole lot of crafting.

Starfieldhas only been out for a couple of weeks, but inventive players are already finding ways to game its systems and level up much faster than the Xbox Series X|S title may have intended. Case in point, content creator Maka91Productions posted an experience farming guide to YouTube to help players climb to level 100 in a mere five hours.

Maka notes that you will need to do some prep work ahead of time, though. You'll first need to unlock the Outpost Engineering skill, found on the third row of the Science skill tree. This will unlock Power Generation and Resource Extraction projects at research lab stations. This is perhaps the most crucial step, as it will allow players to mine for resources vital to the leveling up process.

Maka also recommends building a ship with around 2,000 — 3,000 cargo hold space. You can buy additional cargo modules from ship technicians in every major hub area. The video then tells players to head over to Jemison Mercantile in Atlantis City to buy the resources necessary to build the experience-farming outpost.

Once at the target destination for the outpost, Sumati's Androphon moon, Maka instructs players to scan the planet, then land at a spot where Iron and Aluminum resources overlap. Once there, players will need to set up an outpost featuring six Iron and Aluminum extractors each, ten solar arrays, a handful of solid storage bins, an industrial workbench and a bed.

The neat thing about this trick is that time progresses six times faster on Androphon, so a 24-hour sleep equates to roughly 140 hours of in-game time. Once you're awake, you'll have storage bins loaded
