Environmental Damage in Starfield, Explained

Players can remove Environmental Damage in Starfield by going to a ship, outpost, and other protective areas or equipping an outfit better suited for the terrain. For example, if you walk around Mars without the proper gear, you can go inside the Cydonia Central Hub to remove the orange bar. You’ll still need to heal afterward to restore the meter fully, but at least it will get rid of the Environmental Damage effect.

Those who can’t find any shelter nearby can go to their ship for a quick fix. Or, players can examine their gear to see which equipment works better for specific environments. You’ll be able to see a suit’s resistance to damage via the Inventory tab in the menu, showcasing its Corrosive, Thermal, Airborne, and Radiation levels. You’ll notice that some outfits will have better conditions by displaying red (negative) or green colored (positive) numbers when comparing it to another equipment item.

Thus, if you are taking in Environmental Damage, you may want to change your suit to withstand the harsh environment. Players can also mod their gear with the Spacesuit Workbench to improve it further. But when all else fails, there’s no harm in going wee wee wee all the way home to push through the dangerous planets.
