Best Places to Buy Resources in Starfield

There are plenty of places to buy items in Starfield, though it’s important to note that in general, merchants only buy and sell items in what they specialise in. For instance, you’ll only be able to buy and sell Aid items in clinics like Reliant Medical stores and you’ll only be able to buy and sell Apparel in clothing shops like Eit Clothing on Jemison.

  • Jane’s Goods – Cydonia, Planet Mars, Sol System
  • Midtown Minerals – Akila City, Planet Akila, Cheyenne System
  • Trade Authority Shops – These can be found in all major cities, like New Atlantis, Cydonia, Akila City, The Key, and Neon. However, it’s worth noting that these locations don’t usually have that many supplies available, though they do boast some pretty unique minerals that can be hard to track down.

What Are Resources Used For?

Essentially, resources can be used to craft mods for your weapons and spacesuits, cook food items at a cooking station, as well as craft buildings for your Outposts. Additionally, researching new projects like Helmet Mods or Pack Mods also require resources when using a Research Laboratory.

In short, they’re a very useful commodity that boast multiple purposes. In other words, don’t forget to loot the corpses of defeated alien life forms and mine some minerals with your Cutter when you get the opportunity, as it’ll pay dividends in the long run.
