The universe of Starfield is enormous. So enormous that you can easily get lost in the intricate mess of features, systems and skills you’ll need to learn if you want to survive for long. Early in your adventure, there can be massive difficulty spikes, killer space battles, and you’ll always be lacked for credits and cargo space. There are many, many mistakes you’re liable to make in the first 10 hours of Starfield, and to help your space exploration just a little easier, we’ve put together a list of 10 mistakes we wish we avoided on our first playthrough. Trust us, some of these tips are life changing.

This took us way too long to figure out — you can fast-travel to any planet you’ve visited once before. No need to hop into your cockpit, take off, jump to a system, select the landing zone and land. If you’ve been to a major settlement before, you can even directly travel to locations like the MAST District from Akila City. (As long as you aren’t carrying contraband.)
Just open the galaxy map from your character menu, zoom out and select the system -> planet -> location to travel to immediately. You can also always fast travel to your ship by using the Scanner. Target the ship (or other locations with icons you’ve unlocked) to instantly travel there. The only limitation is you have to travel to these areas first, you have to be unencumbered, and you can’t be carrying contraband that will get scanned in orbit.
Planets and even the outposts you’ll frequently explore are absolutely enormous in Starfield. Some of these areas you could search for hours — and almost always, you’ll find nothing. What you really want to look out for are computer terminals and loot crates. The yellow crates with neon lights are easy to spot, and they’re where you’ll find 90% of the loot in every location you explore. You can essentially ignore the rest of the environment and only look for loot crates. At the end of large outposts, you’ll usually find a hexagon-shaped loot crate. These always have the best loot possible.
Of course, this isn’t always the case. Planets are packed with resources you can mine or collect when you want to research or construct outposts. And there are rare magazine collectibles you can find that give permanent stat boosts. Always be on the lookout for those magazines! They’re not just in settlements — they’ll also appear in outposts, abandoned labs, lost mines, and whatever other dungeons you encounter.
