Research Guide for Starfield
How to Research
Go to the Research Lab
You can conduct or start a research project at the Research Lab. The Research Lab can be found on your ship and in major settlements.
The first Research Lab you’ll come across is in New Atlantis, located in the basement of The Lodge. Access the research lab terminal to access all available research projects.
Research Lab Location
To find the Research Lab, you must enter the Jemison planet in the Alpha Centauri system.
Head to New Atlantis City and proceed to The Lodge. Follow the path on the right towards the basement to find the room with research project terminals.
Choosing a Research Project
Once you access the terminal, you will have to choose an item you want to research from the five categories of research projects.
Select a project within the category and input the materials required to start the research project. Note that it is not necessary to input all the materials required at once since the research will still progress even if you input a small amount.
Furthermore, even if you leave the research lab, all your progress will be saved, allowing you to resume the project from where you left off even if you go to other research labs.
