Right after you’ve gotten the best gaming PC for Starfield and jumped into the game, you will need to build your own outpost. But for them, you’ll need to get your hands on Adaptive Frames. Plenty of research projects require this material, so you’ll need it pretty often. If you’re currently having trouble finding the resource, we’ve got you covered. We’re going to explain how to get Adaptive Frame in Starfield so you can start building your outposts.
How can I get an Adaptive Frame in Starfield?
The best and easiest way to get Adaptive Frame in Starfield is by purchasing it from different shops, such as general stores, Civilian Outposts, and Trade Authority outposts. Don’t worry; while the Adaptive Frame is an important material, it won’t cost you a lot. A single piece will cost you 24 Credits, so you can easily buy them in bulk. However, do note that the availability will vary from vendor to vendor, so you might have to visit more than one vendor if you want to purchase a lot of them.
Another important thing to keep in mind is the weight of the Adaptive Frames. They have a 1.6 mass, so you won’t be able to carry a lot of them around. Therefore, you’ll need to go and put them in your storage first before buying more. And for those wondering, some of the best vendors that sell Adaptive Frames include Wen Tseng (New Atlantis), Amoli Bava (New Atlantis), and Dietrich Sieghart (Neon).
If you don’t want to spend any Credits on the Adaptive Frame, then you can also craft them. For this, you’ll need to visit the Industrial Workbench and use 1 Iron and 1 Aluminium to craft the Adaptive Frame. Both Iron and Aluminum are easy to find, and you might already have plenty of them in your inventory.
Adaptive Frames can also be found while you’re exploring stuff. They can be picked up from random containers and crates found on random planets. These containers are usually present in abandoned outposts. However, this isn’t a method on which you can rely, as you will rarely come across Adaptive Frames while looting stuff. But after you’ve managed to acquire plenty of them, you can use them for the following research projects at the Research Lab:
- Domestication 1
- Horticulture 1
- Manufacturing 1
- Manufacturing 2
- Power Generation 1
- Resource Extraction 1
- Resource Extraction 2
