I used to be resentful towards Starfield because I'm a big Elder Scrolls fan and dying for ES6, but it seems like Bethesda has worked hard on this game and I can't wait to dive in

1:00:39 Gas giants are really useful for fully surveying/scanning for leveling up the Scanning skill! Since you can't land on them anyway, just scanning from space counts just the same as going to a planet with a dozen each plants and animals and resources and manually scanning them all.

24:17 resources are only tracked if you go into a crafting station and press the track resources button on a recipe/upgrade. resources like adhesive, copper, etc.

If you want to rank up weight lifting fast go to a planet with low gravity, have your boost pack skill (rank 2 or above works really well with this), start printing then jump and start using your boost pack as much as possible while moving forward. While in the air you will use no stamina, but it still counts your sprinting distance because once you hit the ground you will start sprinting again so it’s active while in the air. That skill can be maxed out really fast that way. Preferably this works if you’re on a higher place to use your boost pack more. I did this in some canyons and got my ranks up extremely fast

The scanning skill is a huge time saver just to not have to butt hump everything you need to scan.

Unlocking Gymnastics 2 requires fall damage, but unlocking Gymnastics 3 requires kills in micrograv. I'm not sure which other skills change their requirements as they rank up. But, it stands to reason that there may be other skills with variable requirements like this.

I've seen a lot of people talking about whether the frame rate being locked to 30fps on Xbox is an issue and for me I must say at first it seemed a little jarring as I'm used to playing at 60fps but after an hour or so of gameplay my eyes had fully readjusted and it seems smooth as a spacers brain

One thing I picked up early on that is real simple: The Trade Authority stores usually accept contraband and stolen goods. I also picked up a sidequest to deliver a pair of boots from New Atlantis to a space station, for me in the Wolf system nearby, and the Trade Authority there is a no questions asked fence, and though it is patrolled by the UC Vanguard, there are still no scanners, so I take any contraband there.

50:18 -- Bethesda really made that the "Crippling" icon, huh...

1:15:33 You can use the UC Vanguard pilot simulator for some of the ship combat based skills for fast unlocks. I have Particle Beams on my ship, so I couldn't rank up that skill in the simulator because that ship doesn't have PBs on it

Appreciate the deep dive, this is by far the best one ive found. I have a lot to consider before i finally get to jump into it tomorrow night.

Unlocking trees by performing tasks seems like a really good idea for natural progression players. Literally rewarding you for the way you play.

Thank you for this video. I know you put a whole shit ton of time and work into this video. It's so much appreciated. You definitely earned a sub for this. I can't wait to watch more of your videos.

Many of the skills offer role-play options as well. Medicine for exqmple has given me unique dialogue options i wouldn't have had before, and really makes the game feel like. It is considering my character when in dialogue.

My man, lots of Starfield content pumping out right now but you’re videos are always my favorite. Quality and passion is noticed

Tracked resources is when you hit the track button while upgrade at the research station or weapon building station, etc. It puts a magnifying glass next to item that you’re tracking while in a store.

There are a few skills I'd say are not to be sneezed at, the spacesuit design and weapons engineer are almost mandatory if you want to be able to make the best gear possible. Also best to point out if you join the UC vanguard you get access to a "flight sim" that will put you into ship to ship fights. Have to laugh at crippling 4 that's a reference to one of the elder scrolls games, if I remember right it's a guard who says that he used to be an adventurer until he took an arrow to the knee.

Thanks, love your content and this will come in handy when planning what skills I want in the future playthroughs. Be Excellent.

1:23:18 "...have not incountered any ship that has a missile system that locks on" ALL SHIPS that have missiles can lock on to targets. Get within range and wait for the red target icon to close into a square and the missiles are locked on. It takes a bit, and you have to keep the ship inside the large circle on your hud, but all ships with missiles have this feature

Can't wait to see a Curating Curious Curiosities or Starfield detective video

Absolutely amazing video, Camel. Great job and much appreciated!

Missiles will lock on. You can see it in your HUD. Especially if you have 1 rank in targeting ship systems.

Thanks so much for this in-depth description of all the skills. You put in work and I commend you sir💯🍻

Tracking resources refers to crafting and outpost building. You can select an item you dont have the resources for and it will "track" them in a little list off to the side of the scanner making it easier to remember what you were looking for. With that perk it would actually highlight the tracked items themselves when you look at them.

This is a great video! Earned a follower for sure!

1:23:00 missles do lock on even in the first ship you just have to hold target long enough.

Great video, this was so detailed and really helpful!

Thanks for all the hard work, this is great.

This is exactly the video I wanted to see, thank you!!!😊

1:10:00 you can use the flight simulator at the vanguard HQ at mast to fight waves of ships that will count towards this skill Edit: this applies to all the skills that include destroying/damaging ships

Highly appreciate the effort you have put in the making of it + timestamp, that is high quality content. Skills requiring a ship kill, you can easily perform in the Vanguard flight simulator. Part of the main gameplay story early on, but you can access the simulator at any time after.

When it comes to persuasion I have had the opposite experience. I get the chance to persuade quite often. When you ask the nova more questions new dialogue options will appear. Clicking those new options will usually lead to a chance to persuade the NPC talking to you. There is tons of chances to persuade in Neon city between the Ryujin corps and Street gang storylines. Not even the side quest you can finish in just a few moments using persuasion as well.

thank you this video has helped me very much I'm going for a sniper build and didn't realize what perks would be useful until your video !

This is the video I've been searching for thanks for the vid 👍👍👍🤯

Stagger resistance is an absolute must-have. Terrormorphs are a huge pain to fight without it, and once you get to higher levels, a lot of pirates will use bridgers and negotiators which stagger frequently as well. There are a couple quests out there that involve a lot of persuasion attempts as well. I cant remember the names of them, but it'd be a good idea to look these up and save skill points before attempting them.

Been waiting for you to upload bro been checking back frequently, I'm hoping you've got a "unique items location" video next

This was very useful! Keep it up!

Needed this ngl camel you gonna get a big old smooch

24:26 Tracked recourses with this skill combined would be very handy when you're working on outposts but you're not just running from New Atlantis shops to your base to buy and sell the materials you need. For those who haven't found why it's useful, when you craft you're able to highlight/search for certain materials you need and when you go to shops you'll see a little blue thing pop next to it to tell you this is a resource you need. So with this skill you'll just be able to scan when you go explore and know exactly what to pick up. Could be handy fs

The "ship I stole was full of contraband" can however be circumvented. After you go onto the new ship you need to sit down in the pilot's seat, then go into the ship menu. It will say that your last one is your main ship, but it will show the new one. You then set the new one as your main ship. Afterwards you need to dock onto your old ship before she jumps away (usually a lot of time for that) and just go back into the pilot seat and make it your main ship. This way the new contraband cargo will get transfered to your old ship which probably has shielded cargo.

Thank you for all of the content. it's great.

Finally been looking for a vid like this

Thanks for grinding this one out. I'll be a great research resource for character building.

Just the video I was wanting!

If you want to level up piloting, go to new atlantis, start the quest to join the vanguards and you canfarm the pilot simulator.

If you want to rank up persuasion fast go to any bar that has crew members for hire (i did this on New Atlantis) and do their dialogue options to decrese their hiring price(usualy picking the option that talks about not that many jobs avaliable worked for me)

Just wanted to say thanks for such an in depth video

I have prioritised piloting, ship design, ballistic (fps) and social (aiming for a max crew). 20:52 p.s, when you sell a ship you take/steal, register then sell it. All the items on it (and in cargo) get transferred to you home ship cargo. So that really helps the "sell items" needs. 1:15:59 so finding ships to destroy is very easy, ether use the training simulation at the vanguards HQ, or just grav jump around till hostile ship pop up. 1:23:30 you will need targeting in teir 1 to get your missles system to lock. Other then that it will only have dumb fire.

Holy cow im so stoked to get a series x just to play this!!

Thanks for the breakdown of the skills. Can't wait for the hours long Starfield lore videos.

In-depth video , thx 🙌🏼

I assume resource tracking is like resource tracking in Fallout 4 where you can go to a crafting recipe, and select to track the resources needed to make it. When selected, whenever you come across an item that can be broken down into said resources, the item is highlighted on the HUD. I haven't played Starfield yet, but I assume that's what that skill is talking about.

I hate that I'm watching this while working because I just wanna go grind levels now. Thanks for this! The skills are a bit overwhelming when you're just starting out so going through them one by one like this is super helpful.

Thank you for this one. I can only imagine the time it took to put together

Great video very much appreciated 😊

Im going to like cause u put time stamps! Thx 🙏

Can't wait for the character build video version of this!

excellent info...well done @camelworks

I’ve definitely had some enemies bleed out and as far as I’m aware, it’s just like when they’re on their hands and knees, but you’re getting a red hit markers till they die. I’ve also noticed the enemy bleeding affect while using shrapnel grenades. The only problem with it is it seems random. I can never get it to trigger on purpose, but I have definitely noticed getting hit markers while I’m hiding behind cover actively reloading, not being able to hit an enemy

Thanks, Camel. I'm skeptical about this game so info like this is very helpful

24:25 when you are researching, crafting, or upgrading an item and you don't have all the resources for it you can track the resources that you need for it like in fallout. it puts a magnifying glass next to it indicating that you are tracking said item(s)

I haven't bought this game yet but videos like this help me make decisions. 👀

Tracked resources is an option when you are building an outpost, researching, or crafting something at a work station that you do not have the resources to make/complete. A prompt will show for that item or research subject that will put a little blue magnifying glass next to the name of that item whenever you encounter it so you know it is something you need to compete a build or research later on. Very helpful.

Thank you so much the most useful guide yet.

Thank you for this vid❤

I've been toying with several character concepts, but this video helped me narrow it down to two. A lot of the others are too broad and I think will have me 100+ hours in and still working to become the character I want to play. To get ranks in some of the tier 3 or 4 skills it seems you should really emphasize just one or two trees. I'm thinking my first playthrough will be either full explorer or what I think of as "space monk." One would focus almost entirely on science (geology, medicine, research methods, surveying, botony, scanning, zoology and astrophysics). Most likely would cap it with outpost engineering and planetary habitation. It is probably less exciting, but would be good for a first character, letting me learn a lot of things that would be useful for late game and future alts. The other would focus primarily on the physical skills: melee/unarmed combat, increased movement and carrying capacity, damage reduction and healing. I'm thinking of starting as the bouncer who found religion and putting points in boxing, fitness, weight lifting, gymnastics, martial arts and neurostrikes. To increase survivability, I'll probably round it out with points in stealth, energy weapon dissipation or pain tolerance, environmental conditioning, cellular regeneration, decontamination, concealment and rejuvenation. Like most assessments, I think almost every build should drop a point or two in boost pack training and security. I'm looking forward to seeing what other builds people will use.

As far as I know, the rank 1 piloting "can use ship thrusters" is referencing when you hold spacebar (IDK on console) and WASD makes you fly up/down/strafe LR instead of roll and forward/back.

a lot of work went into this and it shows thanks

Tracking resources in the Scavanger perk is when you're looking for a material for crafting. In a menu it shows up as a blue magnifying glass, but with the perk it will have a glow/halo when you pass it in the field

Good shit man

Thank you for this video ❤ I have referred to it over 20 times ❤

Thanks for the video

only at 9k views so far... but before this hits the Hundreds of Thousands... you deserve every view. Great video! Thanks for the effort.

24:14 when you going to your ship there's the station called research. You take specific items and some ores to pay the cost of the research. Some research increases decorations, and other ones can improve your weapons. And it's one of the few things that carries over after you beat the game and start a game plus, it's like a prestige mode.

24:31 tracking resources is set when in crafting or research stations. If you need items, you can hit "track" and it'll mark items you're trying to obtain in inventories.

I just finished the Crimson fleet quests. I really enjoyed them and was surprised that when I sided with the fleet, my whole crew was so mad lol. It’s not like in other bathesda games where it gets ignored what you choose

Excellent video.

Damn.. At this point I just cant wait until 6th of sept. Theres SO much to do and I'm SO into the tech skill tree!!

This is so helpful for after i finish my build off on choosing places to put points

1:23:00 so for the missile, there is locking that appear blinking next to selected target when you have them inside the visor, the blinking will stop and text change to locked, then the missile will chase, same for the big gun I can't remember the name, usually they die before but if you encounter foe way above your lvl it makes the fight doable

Amazing. Thank you

I am so excited for this game after watching this video! I am thinking some kind of sneaky sniper pirate build sounds fun. Of course I want to experiment with crafting and outpost building as well since that was my favorite part of Fallout 4. Thanks for the great info dump!

Tracked resources are when you are in a crafting bench your press the R key any it will track the components for that item. Very useful.

Track resources is in the work bench menus, makes it far easier to know what you need to purchase or find

Well done!!!! Thank you

Tracking is really cool. When you go into a crafting menu like a Cooking Station, Pharmaceutical station, weapons or spacesuit crafting, you identify the modification or recipe you want to craft and it shows you the resource cost. There's a button for "Track Project" or "Track resources" usually an X button for XBox on the bottom right hand corner and those resources get highlighted with blue magnifying glass. And whenever you find those resources in the game, in your inventory or storage, at a merchant, looting containers or bodies, resources with tracking always show that blue magnifying glass so you don't miss resources you need or accidentally sell them. It allows your looting to be waaaay more efficient so you don't have grab or keep every crafting and have to go back into a menu to see what it does. I would LOVE to have that feature in Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas, because i run into the issue of remembering crafting items and hoarding them constantly. I haven't unlocked this skill yet, but I'm assuming when you pull up the scanner, those tracked resources are highlighted somehow different from the blue you usually see around all other items you pick up. I'm definitely going to get that skill cuz I'm a crafting junkie.

Camel. I think that you have done amazing work. Both on Starfield , and fallout. This massive video could be broken down into more episodes. I.E. 1 episode per class. It makes the videos easier to digest, and helpful for people focusing on a skill tree. I do love it, just an hour to go through it all takes a long time to figure everything out, and I forgot what you already told me in the beginning.

I don’t want a sneaky character but the Bethesda stealth archer build really just works in all their games.

I loveeeeee how it feels like training to upgrade a lot of the physicality related skills

“You’re not gonna be punching ships” Watch me.

Hey @Camelworks just FYI on the scavenger perk if playing in PC, when in ent crafting or research menu you can hit “X” on keyboard to select items to track.

Great video! Right now I'm working towards like an assassin type build. Stealth, sniping, & melee. Only about 14 levels in so far.

My Skyrim joke about the lockpicking was “the lockpicking skill tree- when wiping your ass with perk points just isn’t enough.” Looks like Starfield found a way to get me to invest in a couple levels of lockpicking.

The screenshots you use for this list are great

Camel *_in space!_* Was inevitable that you'd cover Starfield but I'm happy regardless.

I just imagine being an explorer cook hunting for all sorts of exotic ingredients for dishes to be served. I simply can’t wait

The arrow to the knee icon for crippling got me rolling 😂

When you mod equipment or research you can click to track the resources each one requires. It's super helpful

Yep saving this for future references. Timestamps are a godsend. Thank you for your service.
