In Starfield, the easiest places to buy Adhesive are general vendors on major hubs and a couple of especially convenient spots.

Best Places to Buy Adhesive

  • Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis (Jemison, Alpha Centauri) sells Adhesive regularly in the Resources tab, and you pass it early in the main story.
  • Denis Averin in Cydonia (Mars, Sol system) is another reliable vendor who stocks Adhesive.
  • New Homestead on Titan (Saturn’s moon, Sol system) has a general store vendor who sells multiple units of Adhesive and other crafting mats at once.
  • Many other general merchants across settled systems carry Adhesive in small stacks, so always check the Resources tab at any shop you visit.

A typical price is around 11–12 credits per unit, depending on your Commerce skill.

Fast “Vendor Farm” Method

You can stock up quickly by using vendor restocks.

  1. Go to New Homestead (Titan, Sol) and buy all Adhesive from the store vendor.
  1. Sit or sleep nearby (chair/bed) for roughly 8–24 in‑game hours to force an inventory reset.
  1. Stand up, talk to the vendor again, and buy their new Adhesive stock.
  1. Repeat as needed until you have enough for your crafting/outposts.

You can do a similar loop at Jemison Mercantile or other city vendors: buy out Adhesive, sleep a day or two, then restock.

Other Ways to Get Adhesive (If You Don’t Want to Buy Only)

Even though you asked “where to buy,” it helps to know extra sources since Adhesive is used heavily for weapon mods and outpost building.

  • Loot it from enemies and containers during missions; it appears as a rare but fairly common resource.
  • Harvest certain plants that yield Adhesive, like Sweetwater Cactus on some desert/swamp worlds.
  • Once you fully scan an Adhesive‑yielding plant, you can grow it in a greenhouse at an outpost (with water piped in) to create a passive Adhesive farm.

Small Tip for Early Game

If you’re still early:

  • Hit Jemison Mercantile on New Atlantis first for a quick starter stock.
  • Then jump to Sol, land at New Homestead on Titan, and run the buy–rest–buy loop until you’re comfortable for several crafting sessions.
