The Ultimate Guide to Sourcing Top-Quality Semimetal Wafers for Starfield

Semimetal Wafers may not be as appetizing as they sound, but they hold great importance for Starfield players who aim to stock their ship and outpost storage bays with valuable crafting materials. Unlike planetary materials, these wafers are harder to come by and hold greater value in terms of Credit pricing.

As rare manufactured components, Semimetal Wafers are more scarce compared to other items in the resource category. However, Starfield players need not worry, as there are numerous locations where they can easily obtain an abundance of wafers without much effort.

Where to Find Semimetal Wafers

Semimetal Wafers can typically be found in general goods stores, where players can explore a diverse range of raw and processed resources, including the rarer and more unique varieties. Some examples of such general goods stores are:

New AtlantisJemison Mercantile

Outland

Akila CityShepherd's General Store

NeonSieghart's Outfitters

The Key

Unfortunately, it is not possible to craft Semimetal Wafers at Industrial Workbenches. Therefore, the most reliable method of obtaining these materials is to purchase them from vendors. While the cost of a single wafer is not significant, it is important to consider their weight. Ensure that you have enough inventory or shipping cargo space before buying these, especially when acquiring large quantities of other raw resources.

In addition, players have the chance to stumble upon Semimetal Wafers while exploring human settlements, bases, and outposts. These wafers often blend in with other discarded objects within interior maps. However, their unique, disc-like shape and vibrant purple color make them stand out among the various items. It is recommended to thoroughly search desks, shelves, and containers, particularly those found in garages and repair bays.

Attacking and boarding enemy ships can potentially yield Semimetal Wafers and various other valuable resources. Cargo ships generally contain a larger amount of materials and resources compared to other vessels, but players run the risk of incurring a bounty on their heads by attacking them. Spacer and pirate ships also hold diverse assortments of resources and often contain contraband items that can be smuggled and sold for a high amount of Credits.

Semimetal Wafers are primarily used in crafting the Exo Servo spacesuit mod, which enhances the damage inflicted by melee attacks. Currently, this is the only known application for Semimetal Wafers, although there might be additional recipes or research projects that demand larger quantities of this resource.

Starfield is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
