Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, written in the style you requested, about modding Starfield to unlock all ship parts:
So, I wanted to build the biggest, baddest spaceship in Starfield. You know, the kind that makes pirates soil themselves just by looking at it. Problem was, I was level, like, 10, and half the cool ship parts were locked behind level requirements or skills I didn’t have. No way I was gonna wait to grind all that out!
I did some digging, poked around in the game files, and like that found that I can use the console command to unlock them and realized, “Hey, I can just give myself all the ship parts!”
Unlocking the Goodies
First thing I did was hop into the game and open up the console. It is what it is, just press the tilde key (~), the one usually next to the “1” key. A little box popped up at the bottom of the screen – that’s where the magic happens.
Now, to test it out, this is the order I gave, it is: * 0000000F 9999, that’s for getting 9999 of all the ship modules.
- * [Perk ID] – This is the main command. Replace “[Perk ID]” with, well, the ID of the perk you want.
Simple, right? I got all the things I want, it is too easy.
Then I headed over to a Ship Services Technician. Any port will do, I went to the one in New Atlantis because it was close. Talked to the guy, picked the “I’d like to view and modify my ships” option, and then went into the Ship Builder.
And boom! All the parts, right there, ready to be slapped onto my ship. No level requirements, no skill checks, nothing. I went absolutely nuts. Giant reactors, the biggest guns, enough cargo space to haul a small moon… I built a monstrosity. A beautiful, terrifying monstrosity.
Then I hit up the console command and added the following command, and my skills were not enough, I had to get these two perks.
- * c2c04 – “Piloting”
- * 2c59dc – “Starship Design”
I saved my game, just in case. Always a good idea when you’re messing around with console commands. You don’t want to accidentally break something and have to start all over.
And that’s it! I went from a dinky little starter ship to a space-faring behemoth in, like, 20 minutes. Now I’m cruising the galaxy, laughing at pirates, and hauling cargo like a boss. Might not be the “legit” way to do it, but hey, it’s my game, I’ll play it how I want!
