Starfield Player is Attempting to Recolonize Earth

A Starfield player online has shared their attempts to recolonize Earth in Bethesda’s space RPG. The remains of Earth only play an extremely small role in Starfield, but one player is seeing if they can restore it to its former glory.

However, these recolonization attempts could make the planet much more interesting to explore, once everything is properly set up and it is inhabited by more NPCs.

Gamers in the thread took the opportunity to discuss Earth in the game and how, in its current form, it represents somewhat of a missed opportunity. Players can visit plenty of Earth’s landmarks in Starfield, such as the remains of the Empire State Building, but one user in the thread pointed out that it isn’t exactly believable, with no real mountains, canyons, or geological formations still intact. Sadly, the attempts to recolonize Earth won’t be able to solve these complaints, although when outposts are set up, it may feel a little more lively all around.

Starfield absolutely needs an enormous 2024. Despite the critical success of the game, there’s no doubt that fan reception was a little more subdued. Starfield’s Shattered Space expansion will
