Starfield - Ship Building Tips & Tricks! 10 Things You Need To Know When Building Your Ship

Nothing more lazy than a pit bull who didn’t do nothin all day.

How do I move parts from one ship to another?

What do each part in the menu mean? Like what is structural for?

So whats best to go with A B or C Ship?

Super helpful thank you

what is the max mass, width and length possible

Thank you, triple thank you for making this very easy follow step by step guides for dummies like me. I love the game but I am really slow when it comes to reading the tutorials, you slowly pointing out and showing me this has made my life easier I now understand what all the red and errors mean this was so helpful and you don’t ramble on forever like some tutorials, that I can’t pay attention thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤

I can't figure out why I can't add more of the same landing gear, any suggestions?

Ship building is simply broken! If i want to swap a captain living quarters vs a laboratory and i delet the living quarter to implement the same module just with a laboratory in it, the game will give me an error that I have unconected shp parts, while I have no unconected ship parts! This makes the whole experience completely so frustrating that I have no fun to try build my own ship, if i cant easily swap a part in a given ship! Bethesda is Junk and Jank, Todd gets his Money while modders have to fix his tragedy!

prolly a good mention, when you steal a ship from bandits or whatnot, it will have shipparts you havent unlocked yet.
But when you want an extra landing gear or engine you can just duplicate by holding down options and select duplicate.

Thanks for this video, I was searching for long to get infos about what things you actually CANNOT do in the ship building and you mostly got me covered here. I have 2 questions: a) Can you just remove modules / weapons of your ship and get some money back? b) Can you remove modules from a ship and use it on another registered ship or store them somewhere? I'm asking these 2 mainly for knowing if I can do something different with boarded ships I took over than just registering and selling these ships if I don't want to keep them. Thanks very much to feedback, cheers!

How do you see which type of weapon these are? I can’t see anything that says “balistic”

What? But I want to know something? How do you put a hanger on the back part of the ship become when I do it? It doesn't allow me or say something different?

I would like to disassemble ships in my fleet and use the parts on other ships on own

I found a ship without missiles but i can NOT figure out how to add them someone please help me. This game has failed us all when it comes to a tutorial.

Wow you told exactly the stuff i learned when i was looking for like 5 min in the ship builder

I spent for 3 hours trying to modify my ship before giving up. Why can't I just have multiple reactors.

Has anyone else experienced a situation where literally every ship you find that lands on a planet has a closed landing bay? i dont know when it happened but now every time i try to find a ship after it lands has a closed landing bay. If this is a glitch then it ruins my current playthrough.

Whenever i change anything on any ship it becomes inaccessible....... If anyone knows anything on how to fix this would be super.

I would LOVE to see a save option form when youre half way through a build and have to leave so you dont lose 2 hours of design. Ask me how I know. Id also like to see filters to select parts by brand and class to make it easier to find parts and match them. They put a lot into this ship builder and then didnt add pretty obvious basic comforts lol

So I was customising my ship and bought like 60,000 worth of new parts and got them all attached, but it said there was 1 error, I think it was too heavy? So I quit to start over but when I went back in all the parts I bought were gone and so was my money still. What am I missing? Where are the new parts I purchased?

Tip A is not the best class somehow ik its navy way aint boats imo and confusing af

Yeah i bought a Narcissus at the nova store and upgraded it into basically a luxury ship with 3 stories and it looks like an ice cream sandwich

I just want to put a fallout bobblehead on the dash. Nothing else is required.

Great video! Thx! I see all throughout your video your able to manuever your ship with NO HUD.

I assume you did this by going into FREELOOK but your somehow making it so you steer the ship instead of moving the camera, as normal.

Ive done this a few diff times myself by accidental keypress (I thought?) but now that I want to do it, I cant figure out how.

Im really hoping you can drop some knowledge and help me out!

Every time no matter what I do I get the cockpit not connected error, trash game

Is there any point in the game where they teach you how to do any of this? I got to Constellation in New Atlantis and decided to do side missions and exploring right away. I don’t know how to do much but grind and level.

FYI there are docking modules you can flip upside-down to put at the bottom of your ship instead of the top

Fingers crossed a dlc let's us build space stations

How does ship mobility really affect gameplay? Can’t you fast travel/jump drive anywhere? Also, it’s really appalling that you can’t rotate/flip most parts in the builder. Kerbal Space Program had an AMAZING builder, was hoping this game would be similar. I am still having a lot of with with it though, just been building up my material/xp farms lately :)

Tip 11: 2x1 habs got crafting and research tables.
It's kind of hidden due to inconsistent ui, but habs got variations you can toggle trough.

Look for Workshop, Research and living quarters. (the cooking station might be a bit buggy, targeted off center)

Does the build placement make a difference in gameplay? Like can you bury the reactor or grav drive behind habs to keep it from getting damaged in a fight?

Not one of these was a tip or a trick. Just knowledge

Next you should do a tutorial on how to place the doors and ladders WHERE YOU FKN WANT THEM!!! The seen to palce themseves in the dumbest way possible... like with a fkn rng roll or somrlething

Just hi jacked a spacer ship😅

I got a glitch saying my ship has a module not attached but flysheet anyway

Very very infuriating building a ship and the doors just DO NOT appear where I need them to. The ship builder does not reflect where doors can't go.

I got a free ship from the Kid Stuff perk because my virtual Dad won it in a poker game.

I wonder if it would be advantageous to use class c reactor, weapons and shield then use A or B modules to lower mass and in crease mobility.

Does anyone knows how to fix the ship not moving at all when I go to my ship it says I got engine power but when I’m in space I can’t w at all

I judt started the video so not sure if its stated but i was having trouble getting peices to snap they would go under the ship. I found out on controller pressing up and down on the D pad you can raise and lower the ship parts. Helped tremendously

So I got a free ship but it didn't have any weapons. I was able to add weapons to the W0 and W2 spot but I have no idea where to add it to the W1 spot but it always has that error. Do I need to add a part to the ship to able to attach the 3rd weapon? The first 2 added fine.

Use the cash hack in New Atlantis and get your money back from upgrades

Few more things that need clarification:
Hull number has any importance?
How the minimum landing gear numbers are calculated?

Does anyone know which have modules allow you to walk unencumbered through your ship? I noticed that some Han modules, when connected don’t have hatches end to end. So you end up turning left or right, while attempting to walk a straight path through your ship end to end.

One other thing, anything that uses power can only have a total power count of what ever is on the bar, say engines, you can have as many as you want as long as they don’t exceed the total power allocation bar, think the number is 12 total power

Honestly I can't even play this game with my 1080. I get 25 fps on ultra settings and turning it down to low i get 35 fps. I'm use to 90% of the games I play atleast getting 80 fps. This thing is a unoptimized mess and I'm not really enjoying it.
