In Starfield, players have access to a wide range of raw materials. However, certain upgrades and building projects necessitate manufactured resources. Among these is High-Tensile Spidroin, an essential item for crafting desired items.
Similar to other crafting materials in Starfield, obtaining ample amounts of High-Tensile Spidroin relies on finding the appropriate locations. Nevertheless, players should familiarize themselves with some key details about this material before embarking on their search throughout the galaxy.
Where to Find High-Tensile Spidroin in Starfield
High-Tensile Spidroin is not typically obtained from planetary surfaces, but rather discovered on various surfaces within man-made structures such as outposts and research stations. It can sometimes be found among miscellaneous objects or stored within containers. When exploring buildings, it is advisable to search desks, shelves, and tables in hopes of discovering this item.
Reliable sources of High-Tensile Spidroin are not commonly found among randomly generated clutter. Players seeking a more convenient option should consider visiting general goods stores. These establishments offer extensive inventories, often including a wide variety of raw and processed resources. Stores such as Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis and the UC Exchange Shop frequently stock High-Tensile Spidroin.
The inventories of traders seem to adjust based on the player's level. As the player progresses, they will notice more frequent appearances of rare materials such as High-Tensile Spidroin in stores. If these materials are currently not available in the stores, it would be advisable to revisit at a later time.
To reset a merchant's inventory, players can sleep or wait for 24 hours. Find a nearby bed or bench, press the relevant button on the screen, and set the slider to 24 local hours. Then, check the merchant's inventory again to see the refreshed items. Although it does not guarantee the appearance of High-Tensile Spidroins, it is still better than nothing.
High-Tensile Spidroins are essential for upgrading spacesuits and helmets. They are specifically used to create the Heavy Shielding mod, which enhances the damage resistance of protective gear. This mod is a valuable addition to light and medium-weight suits that lack the combat protection of heavier military counterparts.
Starfield is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
