Summary
Thanks to the exploration efforts of oneStarfieldplayer, a planet that resembles the iconic Windows XP wallpaper has been discovered in the Settled Systems. ThoughStarfieldwas criticized at launch for its over-reliance on procedural generation, it cannot be denied that the underlying system is a technically impressive accomplishment – capable of creating visually impressive planets for players to explore. Worlds inStarfieldhave different biomes, a wide list of flora and fauna, and even a few unique planetary traits.
While there are more efficientmethods of gaining credits inStarfield, selling survey data obtained from planetary exploration is a decent way to earn money in the early game. The true money sink inStarfieldrevolves around tinkering with the ship builder, a hobby that can easily drain hundreds of thousands of credits from the player’s pocket. Having a better ship makes exploring the more dangerous corners of the Settled Systems easier, and this small feedback loop inStarfieldrepresents one of the game’s biggest strengths.
AStarfieldplayer named BeatsByDad911 managed to discover an uncanny resemblance between the Windows XP wallpaper and the arid planet of Kumasi VI. ThisStarfieldplanetis designed as Level 25 content, and what makes it stand out is its mineral richness. Uranium, Iridium, Caesium, and Iron can all be found on Kumasi VI in abundance. However, from a purely visual standpoint, Kumasi VI’s desert hills are almost a dead ringer for the rolling hills that feature as the default Windows XP wallpaper, making it an interesting option for building an outpost.
The discovery was positively received on the mainStarfieldsubreddit, with fans jokingly suggesting that aStarfieldmodshould add the Windows XP shut down sound to Kumasi VI upon player death. However, most of the community is eagerly awaiting newStarfieldcontent, which is expected to arrive through its Shattered Space DLC, and upcoming patches.
Exploring the Kumasi System in Starfield
ForStarfieldplayers interested in exploring the Kumasi system, it’s important to note that Kumasi VI is only a small part of it. The Kumasi system is located in the north-western part of the Settled Systems, next to Andromas, and just above Cheyenne – where Akila City, the capital of the Freestar Collective, can be found. With nine planets and 19 moons, it is one of the largest systems onStarfield’s star map. The first three planets support life, with Kumasi II standing out as having a complex ecosystem.
Obtaining resources inStarfieldis important for players seeking to upgrade their weapons and research better upgrades, which is where Kumasi II also shines. Starfarers can have their pick of resources from plutonium, uranium, cobalt, platinum, iridium, palladium, and nickel. Though Kumasi VI undoubtedly has the more unique visuals, the rest of the star system has plenty of positives going for it.
