I have a feeling that the "Book" was an accidental oversight from Bethesda and wasn't supposed to be in the final version of the game. It was probably them testing the book user interface, making sure every letter and number shows up correctly. The chapter 1 was likely the same but to test if the heading worked.

That book seems like it's a placeholder that accidentally got into the final game. Probably forgot to replace the text.

Delvin Mallory is in the game, when you’re doing the crimson fleet quest line and are on suvurov you can see his name mentioned as being a prisoner on the computer in the guard tower

Got another tip for ya; One day on Bessel 3-B takes 57 Earth days. This means if you place resource miners on the planet (it's possible to make an outpost with access to Aluminum, Iron, Cobalt, AND Nickel), then sleep for an hour, you'll get around 57 times the "normal" amount of each resource. Enjoy!

The nirnroot "code" is definitely a texture mismatch; looks like a decal sheet used on the surrounding environment. You can see the diamond tread pattern and the slatted vents that are right beside the plant on that sheet.

An Easter egg I found was on a random planet. On one of the small colonies, a colenest said, spoiler: I used to be an explorer like you, then I took... never mind, it's a long story.

Don’t sell survey data at any vendor. At least if you want max credit sell them to Valdmir at the eye. He’s buy the data for higher price then any other vendor. You just have to talk to him and pick the last option and he talks about scanning planets then you’ll be able to turn your data to him for max credits

As a mug collector myself I can tell you, You can get DOZENS of NASA mugs from following the main story. It may be a rare misc. item at the beginning. But when you get to a certain point you’ll be trying to offload NASA stuff like it’s a stockpile of Aurora

In the Lodge behind the Weapons Modification station there are three ammo boxes that also have infinite storage. I've been using them to store resources in a more convenient location. Just so I don't have to run to the room then back to the basement. Just head straight on down and get to the upgrading.

How to deal with contraband scans: USE SHIELDED CARGO HOLDS, also a jammer once those become available.

Love that you hammering out new content. So excited for your TES6 videos in 20 years ❤

You know it's a good bethesda game when within one week of release the internet has alredy cross tested every toilet paper of the milky way in the name of science.

Loving the regular Camelworks content. We’re eating good.

That cutter one is great. E: Even better than the safe is the little innocuous storage box downstairs near all the workstations. From the research one, 180 and go through the doorway. To the left of the doorway on the right is a storage box on the table. Unlimited space. Near the work stations. Big win. E2: Bugged texture?

Nirnroot texture is a mistakenly applied User Interface Texture. (your Hud, for example. in this case it could even be a UI for ingame computer systems all the way down to a small screen for a soda machine, who knows.) I would assume it missed QA due to its size and exceeding rarity as an object in the game.

The first or second rank of ship piloting gives you access to a thruster mode. [RB on console] With this mode on you can spin your ship super fast while keeping the same momentum. Great in combat when someone is behind you. Boost away then enter thruster mode and spin 180 and take them out while still speeding away from them.

Toilet role should face different ways depending on if you have pets or kids that might play with. One way just gives the best access but it makes it more inviting for pets to play with it.

Fun fact, the book the 5min mark is actually the same book Todd Howard uses to answer questions in inteviews

The Nirnroot texture kinda reminds me of the Voyager gold record

That Charged Cutter feature deserves a mod that outright removes weak mode, because there is no reason to not to use the full power.

Regarding "The Book" I guess that it contains everything you need for a book, just remix what you find inside and create any story you want!

Outstanding video. Honestly, I haven't seen any Starfield content that has me more interested to see more than this video right here. I cannot wait to see what you and the viewers uncover about the Book and the Nirnroot mysteries. A+ content right here.

The Elder Scrolls mystery is pretty interesting. I look forward to updates! But the book looks like a dev placeholder problem to me.

The plant does indeed look like a UV map. Almost looks like a UV map for a weapons magazine. It even has a 00 / 00 counter on it and then dots for ammo placement.

The root appears to be a map outlining a specific star system based on the number of circles around a larger circle and the number of gas giants. Further more it seems to indicate a specific planet in that system and icons which represent terra map markers you typically find. Has to be a treasure map.

I was able to sell the illegal contraband to the party ship. People in space just having a grand time. If you do get them to pop up then join them if possible. You can also pull all of your items from your ship or people on your ship. Mainly because they ask if you want the party in 0G. Which allows you to move freely. Once inside you may need to speak to someone for that interaction. After that they tell you that the person down stairs is the one handing out drinks. Mind you there are a few items on the ship listed as "Owned" but most all drinks aren't. Anyways. Go down a floor and to the end with what looks like a DJ? The only person behind the table. They will purchase Illegal Contraband as well as stolen goods.

So regarding the nirnroot texture, @38:20 theres a part of it that is definitely an audio waveform thats been split into multiple parts. I was thinking it was just a mismatched texture until i saw that. UNLESS the mismatched texture is one from a computer terminal\data readout screen in the game that has a waveform on it. Which would explain the simple repeating patterns and shapes. But i still think the waveform is sus

I was shooting some asteroids last night and made the mistake of accidentally shooting the loot and it just kept going and going further away from me so I gave up chasing it lol

Weapons and gear have prefixes that denote base damage/protection. With the dame mods, a higher tier weapon will always have higher damage than a lower one. I have found: None-calibrated-advanced-refined-superior This is in addition to prefixes like "commander's or "assassin's", which tells you what preinstalled mods it has, and on colored nameplate weapons things like "berserker" which tells you about a trait that the weapon has as an extra bonus irrespective of mods

The Book book looks like a test object to me, testing the font or the text format used by books but not using the quick brown fox line, just every letter and number. Then since it was made may as well use it in the game. Books and notes in Bethesda games are not a different texture for each page but an html overlay with the paper texture as the background so it takes very little to make them but important to get the font and format right.

The "book'" item screams placeholder to me, like someone missed it unintentionally. I don't know whether or not that makes any sense; maybe someone got lazy, and went "oh Hell, whatever," and just slapped down a generic "Book" in this spot in particular, perhaps at the end of a 12-hour crunch-time shift?

Finally getting into the Starfield content here on youtube after sinking in my first 100 hours. I've loved your Skyrim content for years now, and I'm so happy to see this level of content on Starfield now, I'll definitely be keeping up with your Starfield content from here on out, keep up the great work.

Man, that Lodge Safe bit is gonna be so useful to me. I didn't know about that, and had started selling all resources I get over 100 so my ship would stop running out of space. Now I can throw it all in there instead. Thanks!

As far as using the cutter in combat, it's the best weapon in the game.

for the root you were close with the texture-uv. it is a decals uv map, starfield uses a lot of decals for detail, its like stickers placed on top of meshes, like vent slits, screws, information on wall, logos, etc. the stem of the root just has the wrong material applied which is this decals uv texture. crazy catch tho

If you like the room storage, in Constellation’s crafting area in the basement, right behind the research station, there is also an infinite box. Much better for materials.

I've been upgrading the frontier since the beginning and now... it's a beast. It's C class, it's fast, hits like a truck, it's shield is over 2000 at 7 pipes and it so small it doesn't get hit (kept it the same size as original but this was my design choice). I've never been challenged since the very start of the game when I was fumbling around with the space combat. I LOVE space fighting in it. I'll never leave it.

Bruh. The cutter being charged up just fixed my life 80 hours in

textures for the nirnroot can be found in textures06 archive, under hydroroot01 name edit: nifscope doesn't support starfield nif files, so no way to go in and check what texture is applied to the stem the easy way some could probably extract all of the decals in the game and look through manually, but it would take some time edit2: holy shit I found it xD textures05\textures\common\decal\decalmetalboltstrimsdetails01_* files just a random trimsheet edit3: looking at the footage it seems to me some of the objects are using the same map for their details, so probably just a dev missclicking and not noticing it :P

The Nirnroot thing reminds me of a DNA sequence similar to what was on the Voyager craft.

The cutter is actually insane against most enemies if you have lasers leveled all the way up. If you rush lasers the cutter can be super useful early game bc it doesn’t require ammo

The Nirnroot mystery deserves its own video!

The "UV Texture" on the Nirnroot might be something akin to a map, perhaps an intergalactic scavenger hunt. Bethesda is historically very good with housing Easter eggs, some very well hidden or fleshed out, and the know full well just how eager their fans are of ES6, despite very little being revealed or spoken of. It would be so cool to go do a scavenger hunt that leads to places that may or may not have callbacks or hints sprinkled in about their previous/ upcoming Elder Scrolls title. One can dream.

there is absolutely a code in the stem, or something, they would not put that much effort into a "missing texture" texture. great video!

I'm near 100 hours on my character, and hadn't heard a single person ever mention the cutter efficiency trick in tip #5, absolutely game changing, commenting in hopes it helps others find this vid, keep up the amazing work, thank you so much!

Doing what you do best. I’m glad there’s a new world of content for stuff like this.😊

Found more Nirnroot! There are a couple samples at an abandoned farm I found on Polvo in the Valo system, south west of Hopetown. Not sure if it's a random generation structure that's just rare and this is the first time I've found one, or if it's a curated location, but it's in the map that generates when you land at Hopetown, so it may be curated. Edit: Definitely curated, there were three voiced logs and a named body

So, if Nirnroot canonically exists in Starfield, and Starfield is set in our universe, then Nirn must be somewhere in this universe. Meaning Bethesda officially took the stance of polytheism 😂

Camel: All these plants that don't matter to anyone. Botanists:.......

You can meet the hunter at the start of the game and have conversation with him. He is located in the viewport in New Atlantis.

All i keep hearing is "but in no man's sky you cam just fly wherever you want." I try to explain to them that the planet jemison is likely a bigger data pack than the entirety of no man's sky.

Possible that the nirn root was a last minute placement as often times Easter eggs are place quickly so that the sneak past quality oversigh.

The nirnroot is a map of a star-system. If you go to the specific planet you get the release date for TES VI.

thank you for these guides, this game is a whole vibe and I love it

S. Wheeler patent number 459,516 patented 15/9/1891 "wrapping or toilet paper roll" the inventor of the thing has the answer everyone needs

Great movie m8 xD The way you raised the tension of final mistery was smthg as the best suspense-like. Gratz!😊

RE Toilet paper. Having the paper away from the wall is the obvious way to place it... until you're a cat owner. If you have a cat put it towards the wall, or you won't be happy ever again. The cat otherways will figure out how to roll out all the paper. And it will do it over and over again. If the toilet paper is at the wall, your cat will only turn the toilet paper roll over and over again but the paper will stay on the roll. This is a survival tip for cat owners.

So happy I have a new game to listen to Camelworks break down

Oh my god I had NO idea that you could power up the Cutter. That’s HUGE. Thank you so much!!

Keep it up camel! Great stuff

Bro the storage in the room, absolutely helped me. That was my main problem was finding storage for all my crap. Love your video. Lol.

you can also sell contraband at the den in the wolf system. There are no scans to get you busted and the trade authority vendor usually has around 11000 credits

It would be nice if they linked the basement crafting stations to your Lodge safe in your room.

This is the Starfield content ive been waiting for

Thank you for Lodge Storage tips :) Great video!

Theres another "book" book hidden inside a locker in the Clinic next to the entrance/exit. Gotta open those lockers

I'm very well acquainted with the creation kit and it's creation kits. That's not just a weird texture bug and if it is, it's the first time i've ever seen it.

Thats so funny, ive been doing business with trade authority like “Hello good sir! I would like to offload my goods!!,” no idea they were dodgy folks 😂😂😂

i found a little skyrim easter egg. in the prison when you’re looking for the “legacy” that’s attached to the crimson fleet story line, a computer while in the last control room has a list of all the inmates and their names. at the very bottom of the list it has Delvin Malory. I loved the thieves guild quest line and i thought this was perfect little easter egg.

I am also collecting the coffee cups. I went to School in Idaho and lived there for 8 years. My favorite Potato dish is "Spicy Bake" . You slice the taters about a 1/8th of an inch then make a mix of Olive oil with salt, pepper, garlic, chopped inions, chopped peppers and cayenne with a dash of cumin. Mix the sliced taters in it and bake it.

One little Easter egg I had heard when I was at The Clinic from the Freestar quests, I had heard one person mention "did you ever hear the one about the platypus and the orphan?" I didn't catch what else he said, but that's for sure a Phineas and Ferb reference

I am betting the Nirnroot stem is a bugged texture. That looks like a bugged texture… and if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and talks like a duck…

14:06 supervisor Lin explains this after the elevator ride when you first start up a new game. She berates one of the miners for using it incorrectly and says it’s a laser not a chainsaw, it’s very easy to miss but it’s technically in the tutorial.

I missed that storage. Awesome! Thank you!

That blue book is a just a placeholder. It's basic placeholder for when they haven't decided what to place there yet. It was either used in decoration and world filling without knowing that that one was a placeholder, or it was known that it was a placeholder, and forgotten about, and never replaced.

The storage crates in the basement of the Lodge also appear infinite and non-resetting. I've been using the one on the table between the research station and workbenches to store all my resources for quick upgrades.

The Nirnroot is the ES6 topographical map-- because they already have the landscape topography mapped out

imagine you touch the nirnroot, and you get teleported to nirn and have a space battle against alduin or something funny

You have just helped me massively with my storage just by talking about the infinite storage at The Lodge. And for that you are a massive Chad. Thank you.

The mine isn't the only location you can get a NASA mug, you can find one next to a coffee machine in one of the rooms on the generational colony ship orbiting paradiso.

your many tips helped me out! I didn't know about the cutter's powerup :)

I've been playing Starfield for over 50 hours and it always bugged me how I couldn't mine things faster, I even got the special orange cutter back from the starting planet and still nothing, this tip blew my mind! Thank you so much, it made my life oh so much easier!

Your scanner clip while harvesting asteroids made me laugh out loud 😂 brilliant

Yes, mashed! With bangers! :)

Your mining tip helped me ! So you can be so so happy!

I did know about the storage but didn't know where it was. Thanks for that

I didn't know about the safe! Damn! Thanks Camel!

The storage box downstairs by the research table is also unlimited. I keep all my extra resources there. Empty it before starting to research/craft, dump back in once down

Thanks for the planet scan tip

The cutter tip helped me camel. I hope your happy

Thanks for the cutter tip.

The cutter tip helped, thanks.

Def helped one person with the safe tip I never go in the constellation room because of my ship but I just lost stuff in there it bugged out the captains locker so this is clutch thanks

I can explain your nirnroot mystery quite easily. The the nirnroot mesh is pointing at a decal texture by mistake. This of course as you know has gone unnoticed because it takes a magnifying glass to identify it.

when you dock at the clinic immediately turn right and there are some lockers, one of them has the exact same "book"

The curating curiosity series boutta go fucking wild.

great video, mr camel

Whenever you find contraband, just go straight to "the den" no scans, trade it all in for ammo etc or wait on the seat next to the vendor between restocks

I didn’t know about the cutter so thank you
