[Starfield Resource] Starfield: Locating Drilling Rigs

[Uncrowned Guard]

As you chart your path across the universe in Bethesda's Starfield, crafting becomes an integral part of your journey. Drilling Rigs, essential for advanced crafting, pose a unique challenge due to their mechanical nature and rarity. Here's your compass to finding Drilling Rigs across the galaxy.

Outland in New Atlantis: A Starting Point

New Atlantis is more than just a hub for interstellar governance; it's also home to Outland, a store known for stocking Drilling Rigs.

• Location: Outland is nestled in the Commercial District, just across from the UC Distribution Center.
• Proprietor: Cornelius Townard is the go-to vendor here.
• Inventory Access: Engage in conversation with Cornelius and browse the Resources section for available Drilling Rigs.

Sieghart's Outfitters in Neon: The Alternative Source

Diversifying your supply sources is key. Enter Sieghart's Outfitters, located on the pulsing streets of Neon on Volii Alpha.

• The Vendor: Seek out Dietrich Seighart in his establishment.
• Purchase Path: Discuss your needs with Dietrich, and like at Outland, you'll find the Drilling Rigs under the Resources category.

 

Quantity and Management: A Tactical Approach

Given their rarity, purchasing Drilling Rigs in bulk is advisable when the opportunity arises. However, be mindful of:

• Cost Efficiency: Balance your credit expenditure with your resource needs.
• Inventory Weight: Each Drilling Rig weighs 5 mass units, potentially leading to encumbrance.
• Storage Tip: Immediately transfer purchased Rigs to a companion or stash them in a secure location like your ship or a base camp.

Drilling Rigs on Demand: Tracking and Crafting

The Tracking Advantage:
Make use of the tracking feature to highlight Drilling Rigs in vendor inventories, ensuring you never miss out during your station stops.

Crafting Your Own:
If you prefer self-sufficiency, crafting Drilling Rigs is possible by:

1. Upgrading to Manufacturing 2: Utilize a Research Station and ensure you have Outpost Engineering Rank 1.
2. Gather Initial Components:
   • 9 Zero Wire
   • 5 Reactive Gauges
   • 9 Adaptive Frames
   • 27 Iron
   • 18 Tungsten
   • 18 Sealant
   • 9 Lubricant
3. Construct a Compound Fabricator: This machine is central to producing Drilling Rigs.
4. Final Ingredients for Fabrication:
   • 1 Reactive Gauge
   • 2 Lubricant
   • 3 Tungsten

Remember to power the Fabricator (a windmill can serve this purpose) and ensure proper storage connections for a seamless crafting process.

With this guide, your quest for Drilling Rigs should be as smooth as hyperspace travel. Keep this information in your databank and let the universe's riches fuel your odyssey.
