Research projects are part and parcel of Starfield. Look at all the research projects in Starfield.
Starfield is the new open-world RPG from Bethesda Game Studios. To make your journey through the galaxy in this game, you’ll need some powerful items and mods to help you out. That’s why research projects are so important in Starfield. Research projects let you develop new items and mods. After you finish the research, you’ll be able to craft these items and mods and use them to your advantage.
Here’s a rundown of all the different research project types you’ll find in Starfield:
- Pharmacology – These projects unlock crafting recipes for aid items that can heal you or boost your stats.
- Food and Drink – These projects unlock recipes for consumables that can heal you or improve your stats.
- Outpost Development – These projects unlock modules you can use to build outposts across the galaxy. Outposts are modular base camps you can use for storage, mining resources, or crafting and research.
- Equipment – These projects give you crafting recipes for helmet, spacesuit, and pack mods—individual parts you can attach to helmet, spacesuit, and pack to change the stats and abilities.
- Weaponry – These projects provide recipes for weapon mods—parts you can add to weapons to modify their stats.
Now, we will look into the depth of all these project fields in Starfield.
