Outposts & Crafting

Starfield's building and crafting systems drive these ten. A couple need a dedicated outpost set-up, but most are cumulative counters that tick over as you mine, hack and craft. Knock the outpost ones out early and let the rest accrue.

Apply 50 weapon modifications at a workbench.

How to earn it
