STARFIELD: BUILDING AND DECORATING

Building Tips & Tutorials


Creations were added in June 2024, which gives us a variety of options when decorating in additon to the buildable assests and lootable items in our inventory.

One thing I've learned in over 30 years of playing and creating in video games is that not all assets are created equal. To discover hidden quirks in the items available to us, I've twisted, spun, realigned, pushed, and stacked them all until their secrets were uncovered. We can now use them to our advantage and start building (and thinking) outside of the box.

Please Note: Some of these tricks and glitches may get "fixed" in future patches and updates, so keep that in mind as you play around with the items.

General Tips on Placing Grabbed items

How-to Placing items without using the Build Menu, or using the Grabbing method as I like to call it.

Important keys and buttons:

On PC:

  • To Grab item that you've dropped: Hold E button on keyboard
  • Rotate item: right click and left click mouse buttons
  • Switch the axis that the item rotates on while "grabbed": Press Shift key
  • To place item: Quick press E button on keyboard

On Console:

  • To Grab item that you've dropped: Hold A button on controller
  • Rotate item: right and left triggers
  • Switch the axis that the item rotates on while "grabbed": Press left stick
  • To place item: Quick press A button on keyboard

Tips:

  • Go into First Person view
  • Crouch when grabbing item to have it closer to you rather than letting it swing wildly and knock everything over
  • Toggle walk/run to all for more precise control while placing the item

Floating Items Glitch

If you're unfamiliar with the "floating in mid air" glitch for lootable items in our inventory, here's a brief rundown:

  • Drop an item from your inventory. Then open the Build Menu and build something (could be a shelf, table, bed, or whatever).

  • While still in the Build Menu pick up one of the items you've dropped from your inventory and place it on the shelf or whatever piece of furnishing you've created.

  • Exit the Build Menu and fast travel out of the zone.

  • Fast travel back, open up the Build Menu and remove or delete the furnishing that you originally built. The lottable items from your inventory should still be there, suspended in mid air.

TIP: This only works for lootable items placed on buildable items using the Build Menu

Inventory items including books and folders place on shelves while in the Build Menu before fast traveling out of the zone.

Items floating in space when you fast travel back and remove the supporting shelves.

It's a feature, not a bug!
