Unleashing the Secrets of Starfield: The Ultimate Guide to Acquiring Adhesive

Crafting items and constructing outposts in Starfield require a significant amount of resources. To ensure players have an ample supply for their creative endeavors, it is essential to collect an abundance of raw materials. While certain resources may be readily available, others prove to be more elusive.

Despite the futuristic setting of Starfield, basic adhesives continue to be in great demand for construction purposes. Merely acquiring bottles of glue and rolls of flex tape will not suffice this time. Players must invest additional effort into amassing a substantial stockpile of this crucial resource.

Where to Get Adhesive in Starfield

Adhesives, which are considered organic materials, are typically sourced from plants. In contrast to the traditional method of scavenging office supplies in Fallout 4, players will now have to examine planetary flora in the hope of discovering plants that contain adhesives.

Due to the procedural generation in Starfield, it is not possible to accurately determine which planets possess such plants. Each playthrough offers a unique exploration experience, so players are advised to activate their scanner and commence analysis. It is important to note the density of flora displayed on the ship scanner before landing on a planet. If no plants are detected, it is recommended to seek out another location.

Fully assessing a plant provides valuable insights into its yield of materials and its preferred habitats, which enables players to anticipate and prioritize their search for similar planets in the future.

To obtain adhesive more reliably, consider purchasing them directly from vendors. Similar to other Bethesda games, the inventories of merchants in Starfield reset after a certain period of time. Visit a general goods vendor, such as Outland in New Atlantis, and purchase their entire stock of adhesives. Afterward, find a bed or chair to rest on and press the Wait or Sleep button that appears on the screen. Set the timer to 24 local hours to ensure a complete reset.

Although rare, packs of adhesive can occasionally be looted from deceased human enemies. Pay attention to legendary enemies, as they tend to have adhesive on their corpses. During ship battles, attempt to dock the final enemy vessel and search their storage containers and cargo holds for additional resources.

Adhesives can also be found in storage chests, although this is uncommon. Depending on luck to acquire adhesives from random containers is not entirely dependable. However, players do stand a chance of obtaining valuable items such as firearms, ammunition, armor, and other crafting materials.

Starfield is currently accessible on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
