[230930]  Starfield Player Finds Planet With a Ton of Environmental Variety

An adventurous Starfield player discovers a procedurally generated planet in the game with more than one environmental biome.

An observant Starfield fan found a planet with four different environmental biomes in the game. As players around the world explore Starfield’s vast solar system, this discovered planet proves that some planets have a ton of variety to them.
Before Bethesda’s epic space adventure hit the shelves, promotional materials for the game stated that Starfield would have over a thousand planets that players could explore. Naturally, this led to some skepticism from Bethesda fans, with many wondering how different each planet could truly be in the game. Now that Starfield is out, it’s common knowledge that most of the planets in the game are procedurally generated and that most have one or two environmental biomes. Much like the Star Wars universe, Starfield’s solar system is filled with planets that are all sand or are all swamp and so on.
Thanks to some planetary exploration from Reddit user lavabendingfirelord, it turns out that not every planet in Starfield’s solar system sticks to this pattern. On the Starfield subreddit, lavabendingfirelord posted four gameplay images that appear to be from different worlds but are all on the same one. In the first image, the environment is full of tall, highly saturated red grass and trees reminiscent of Earth’s autumn season. The second picture showcases another grassy area, but this time, it’s thin patches of green grass surrounded by trees that can be found in some areas of Africa. The third image features a desert-like environment with spiky-looking bushes and a hazy blue sky. The final picture encapsulates a dense foggy forest.
These images were taken on a planet in Starfield called Cassiopeia 1 in the ETA Cassiopeia system. Cassiopeia 1 is a Rock-type planet with a ton of natural resources and a safe water level. There are no moons surrounding Cassiopeia 1, just eight other planets in the system, all named Cassiopeia with a number variation.
Some of the comments in the post revealed that many players didn’t realize that some planets in Starfield have multiple biomes. One commenter named PlentyComfortable734 estimates that there are about 10 or so planets in the game with more than one or two environments. Some Starfield players were not so impressed by this discovery due to how exploration is handled in the game. In order to see the different biomes on these planets, the player must use their ship to land on the different parts of each world. For these players, there’s no difference between landing on another area of the planet and landing on a separate world altogether.
Starfield is available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.

一位富有冒险精神的 Starfield 玩家在游戏中发现了一颗程序生成的行星，其中有多个环境生物群落。

一位细心的 Starfield 粉丝在游戏中发现了一颗拥有四种不同环境生物群落的星球。 当世界各地的玩家探索 Starfield 广阔的太阳系时，这颗被发现的行星证明了一些行星拥有大量的多样性。
在贝塞斯达这款史诗般的太空冒险游戏上架之前，游戏的宣传材料称《Starfield》将有超过一千个行星可供玩家探索。 自然，这引起了贝塞斯达粉丝的一些怀疑，许多人想知道游戏中每个星球到底有多么不同。 现在《Starfield》已经推出，众所周知，游戏中的大多数行星都是程序生成的，并且大多数都有一两个环境生物群落。 就像星球大战的宇宙一样，Starfield 的太阳系充满了全是沙子或全是沼泽等的行星。
感谢 Reddit 用户 lavabendingfirelord 的一些行星探索，事实证明，并非 Starfield 太阳系中的每个行星都遵循这种模式。 在 Starfield subreddit 上，lavabendingfirelord 发布了四张游戏图像，这些图像似乎来自不同的世界，但都在同一个世界上。 在第一张图片中，环境中充满了高大、高度饱和的红色草和树木，让人想起地球的秋季。 第二张图片展示了另一个草地区域，但这一次，它是一片片薄薄的绿草，周围环绕着非洲的一些地区的树木。 第三张图片展示了类似沙漠的环境，有尖刺的灌木丛和朦胧的蓝天。 最后一张照片描绘了一片浓密的雾森林。
这些图像是在 ETA 仙后座系统中的一颗名为仙后座 1 的行星上拍摄的。 仙后座 1 是一颗岩石型行星，拥有大量自然资源和安全水位。 仙后座 1 周围没有卫星，只有系统中的其他八颗行星，它们都被命名为仙后座，但编号有所不同。
帖子中的一些评论显示，许多玩家并没有意识到星空中的某些行星有多个生物群落。 一位名为 PlentyComfortable734 的评论者估计，游戏中大约有 10 颗左右的行星具有不止一两个环境。 由于游戏中探索的处理方式，一些 Starfield 玩家对这一发现并没有留下深刻的印象。 为了看到这些行星上的不同生物群落，玩家必须使用他们的飞船降落在每个世界的不同部分。 对于这些玩家来说，降落在地球的另一个区域和降落在一个完全不同的世界没有什么区别。
Starfield 现已在 PC 和 Xbox Series X/S 上推出。
