Starfield Build Strategy, Planners & Guides

Starfield.gg is an independent fan site that helps you plan a Starfield build before you spend a single skill point. There is no respec in Starfield, so a good build strategy matters. Our Starfield build strategy guide explains skill tier gates, the best backgrounds and traits, and the opening every character should use. Then test your plan in the free skill planner and build calculator.

Ship captains can design a loadout in the online ship builder and compare hulls in our ship tier list. Outpost builders can map bases in the outpost planner. For gear, see the best weapons tier list and the X-Tech & Tier 4 Legendary guide.

Every guide is checked against the current patch (1.16.244). Our Starfield latest update tracker covers new patches, the 2027 Starborn content and what has changed in the meta.
