Are you on the lookout for Structural Material in Starfield? There are a lot of resources to collect in Starfield. Most of these resources will be obtained via outposts built on different planets and vendors/merchants in cities like New Atlantis, Neon, and Akila City.
You can get materials from creatures and the various flora and fauna found across the universe. Depending on how you set up your skills, you could even get a huge amount of resources all at once. Hopefully, you can get your hands on Structural Material with little legwork though it may end up being time-consuming.
After gathering your resources, be sure to store them on your ship before taking them back to the New Atlantis Commercial District. This guide will show you how to get Structural Material in Starfield.
How to get Structural Material in Starfield
There are three ways to get Structural Material in Starfield: purchasing it from vendors, harvesting it from Flora and Fauna, and looting it from alien creatures. There isn’t a guarantee that you can get this material from a specific location so always check around when you reach a new planet.
If you want to purchase Structural Material in Starfield, check the following shops:
- Jemison Mercantile – New Atlantis
- Shepard’s General Store – Akila City
- Newill’s Goods – Neon
All of these shops tend to carry the resource more often than other shops in the universe so they are your best bet to get your hands on some Structural Material to finish your research projects.
To obtain Structural Material from harvesting, start by flying to a planet. Once you land, use your scanner to scan the local wildlife. Many plants and animals have Structural Material that you can harvest.
The trick to finding these materials is to locate planets that have a large number of flora and fauna as well as a livable atmosphere with no extreme environments. These planets tend to have Structural Materials more so than other types of planets.
Finally, you can harvest Structural Materials from your built outposts. If you plan on going this route, it is important to have the Botany, Zoology, and Outpost Engineering skills. These will really help you collect the materials and allow you to store them in crates.
