starfield where to find titanium

In Starfield, titanium is a rare inorganic resource you can both mine on certain planets and moons and buy from specific vendors across settled space.

Best titanium farming spots

These are some of the most commonly recommended and easy-to-reach places to mine titanium:

  • Vega II‑B (Vega system) – One of the most popular community farming spots; scan the moon from orbit and look for the Ti resource band before landing.
  • Eridani VII‑c (Eridani system, near Alpha Centauri) – A guide-favorite titanium farm two jumps from Alpha Centauri; land in a dense resource patch and you’ll see many titanium nodes close together.
  • Pluto (Sol system) – Players report “a substantial amount” of titanium here, making Sol a convenient early-game option once you can reach it.
  • Titan, Heilo, Groombridge VII‑B – Additional moons listed in guides as having titanium deposits (Titan in Sol; Heilo in Cheyenne; Groombridge VII‑B in the Groombridge system).

How to spot titanium on a planet

  • From orbit, run a planet scan and look at the resource bar. Titanium will show as Ti once your Scanner/Surveying skill is high enough.
  • When landing, try to drop on the overlap between resource colors (often a tungsten band overlapping other resources); some guides note this is a “sweet spot” where titanium nodes appear densely on the ground.
  • On the surface, use your Hand Scanner and look for gray‑silver rock nodes labeled Ti to mine.

Where to buy titanium (fastest method)

If you don’t want to hop planets, buying titanium is usually the quickest way to stock up:

  • Jemison Mercantile – New Atlantis Spaceport, Jemison.
  • UC Distribution – Commercial District, New Atlantis.
  • Clint’s Collectibles – Gagarin.
  • Midtown Minerals – Akila City.
  • Sieghart’s Outfitters – Neon.
  • General mining/industrial vendors (like Mining League on Neon) also frequently sell titanium.

Tip: Buy out a vendor’s titanium, then wait/sit for 24–48 in‑game hours to refresh their inventory and restock quickly.

What titanium is used for

Titanium is a rare crafting material used in a lot of mid‑ to late‑game upgrades and base building.

Typical uses include:

  • Weapon mods – Receivers, muzzles, magazines and battery upgrades in the Research Lab.
  • Spacesuit and helmet mods – Higher‑tier protection and utility upgrades often call for titanium.
  • Robotics and outpost defenses – Certain turrets, robots, and defensive structures require titanium in their build recipes.
  • Outpost structures – More advanced habitat and industrial modules can consume a lot of titanium when you start building larger bases.

Because so many research projects and mods pull from the same titanium pool, it’s worth setting up at least one dedicated mining outpost once you’ve found a rich moon like Vega II‑B or Eridani VII‑c.

Quick farming gameplan

  1. Early game :
    • Visit Jemison Mercantile and UC Distribution in New Atlantis and just buy titanium whenever you see it.
  1. Mid game :
    • Reach Vega or Eridani , scan Vega II‑B or Eridani VII‑c , and land on a strong Ti band.
 * Mine nodes manually while you’re questing nearby.
  1. Long term :
    • Drop an Outpost Beacon on a titanium‑rich patch and build extractors , power, and storage so the outpost passively produces titanium while you explore.
