But here’s the good part: you can actually be smarter about finding Lithium in the game. In this article, we’ll help you figure out where to find Lithium and how to get it using different tricks. So, if you want to power up your Starfield adventure with Lithium, keep reading!

Where to Find Lithium in Starfield to Farm

In Starfield, there are about 65 planets where you can find Lithium to collect. This means you’ve got lots of choices, depending on where you are in space.

Go to the planet that’s closest to you and is within your ship’s jump range. This way, you won’t have to use up a ton of fuel to get there, and you might not have to get into a big battle just to land on the planet’s surface.

How to Harvest Lithium in Starfield?

Harvesting Lithium in Starfield is a crucial part of your resource-gathering journey, and there are two methods to go about it:

1. Cutter: When you start playing the game, you’ll already have the first method at your disposal: the cutter. While you’re out exploring different planets, you can use a scanner to locate deposits of lithium or other valuable minerals. Once you find one, just point your laser cutter at the deposit and slowly cut through the mineral to collect it.

2. Outpost Mining Machinery: In Starfield, you have the option to set up an outpost for various purposes, including mining. To do this, you’ll need a location with lithium deposits, which you can pinpoint using your scanner. You’ll also need an extractor to mine the lithium, a power source to keep things running smoothly, a container to store all the resources you collect, and a crew assigned to manage the outpost. This method allows you to efficiently gather larger deposits of lithium for your interstellar adventures.
