Starfield: Where To Get Digipicks, Adhesive & Aluminum

There are certain resources that are absolutely essential in Starfield. Items that you can’t make progress with — and you’ll need a lot of. It isn’t enough to clear outposts to get enough, you’ll need to buy these resources if you’re using them.

Digipicks are the lockpicks of Starfield — you’ll spend one (or multiple) every time you pick a lock. And there are certain missions where you can spend dozens of these picks while fully exploring a dungeon. Then there’s Adhesive, a resource that’s absolutely required for any weapon mods.

Aluminum and Iron are the two most common resources you’ll need for Outpost Construction. We’ll break up our guide below into three sections — one for each type of activity.
