In Starfield, there are numerous planets and moons awaiting exploration, each possessing distinct characteristics such as flora, fauna, resources, and traits. While this vast diversity offers endless exploration opportunities, it also exposes players to various hazards. This guide will assist gamers in recovering from the environmental damage they are likely to encounter while traversing the different celestial bodies in Starfield.
How to Avoid Environmental Damage
Settlements like New Atlantis on Jemison provide a safe and inhabitable environment for players to freely explore without the need for protective gear. However, it's important to note that not all planets in Starfield offer the same level of safety.
In certain environments, players must wear a full suit to prevent damage to their well-being. Otherwise, their health will gradually decline due to environmental damage. When this occurs, players will experience the Suit Integrity Failure status effect.
Players must always have their spacesuit, helmet, and pack equipped when they are outside to prevent any harm to the environment.
Fans who prefer to wear their regular clothes in safe areas can enable the "Hide Spacesuit in Settlements" and "Hide Helmet in Breathable Areas" options in the Spacesuits tab. These options will automatically unequip the character's suit and helmet in secure locations.
How to Recover from Environmental Damage
Gamers may potentially encounter environmental harm relatively early on in the Starfield main narrative. Specifically, when they venture to Mars in the initial stages of the game, the planet's atmosphere can inf
To recover from environmental damage, players should seek refuge indoors. By entering an indoor location, the environmental damage indicator will vanish from the health bar, allowing players to regain health in a usual manner.
Fortunately, avoiding environmental damage caused by a planet's atmosphere is simple for gamers as long as they equip themselves adequately before disembarking from their ship upon landing.
Starfield is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
