Where to Store Resources in Starfield
As you explore hundreds of planets in Starfield’s incredibly vast galaxy — as anyone who’s played a Bethesda RPG before knows — one of the true challenges of the game is managing the endless amount of resources you gather for one important purpose or another. Thankfully there are a few practical ways to do that, so that you don’t feel pressured to let go of useful materials. If you’re wondering what those ways are, here is our handy guide forwhere to store resources in Starfield.
How to Use Cargo Holds for Storage in Starfield
The rather obvious truth is that you’re going to be spending much of your time in Starfield on the move, journeying to various star systems rather than sitting on your hands inside the Lodge or wherever your living quarters of choice may be. In light of that, the most practical means of resource storage in the game is definitelyCargo Holds.
Along with being rather easy to construct, Cargo Holds can store just about anything you pick up during your travels. From the plants and creature parts you harvest on planets, to salvagedship partsfrom destroyed enemy vessels, to quest cargo you need to transport for mission completion, to weapons you want to put aside for another occasion. There are two primary methods of building and using Cargo Holds:
The Safe Inside Your Living Quarters is Also Good Storage
While Cargo Holds prove very useful for active space exploration, the other main option that you definitely shouldn’t overlook isthe Safeinside yourLiving Quartersinthe Lodge. Especially early on in the game, before you’re able to go around building and expanding Outposts and upgrading your ship, this is a very reliable means of storing any type of resources you have, particularly whenever you find yourself over-encumbered (it’s inevitable for all of us). It’s also very handy for holding any crafting materials you need to use at any of theworkbenchesdown in the basement of the Lodge.
If the Lodge isn’t your main residence, you’re able to still construct one of these Safes wherever you find yourself living. Whether it’s theDream Homeyou can fully furnish yourself (and pay that lovely weekly mortgage), or the residence you get for joining theUC Vanguardat New Atlantis, wherever you choose to plant roots, having a storage hub for your items is infinitely beneficial.
On top of that, unlike Cargo Holds, your Safedoes not have a weight limiton what you can place inside it. You can store 1,000 pounds of a single resource and not have to worry at all. That is the main trade-off, in terms of sacrificing mobile storage for limitless but stationary storage. It’s all a matter of what you prefer to keep on-hand during your travels, and what can stay at home for other needs.
