What I think would be really cool would be modders using procedural generation to create:
  1. Variations of plant life;
  2. Variations of animal life; and
  3. Cities.
Imagine: a planet entirely composed of procedural generated plants, animals and cities.

A big ask of course. But those modders, when they get an itch to scratch, are complete nut cases. Wish I'd have done a gaming degree!

Now I'm curious. I think "internet access" used to be in the requirements. I don't think Star Field is always online is it? I could see myself getting a new computer for gaming and not connect it to the internet.

I'm imaging the PC necessary for running all of that, my eyes are watering and Mrs PiLhEaD has already hidden my wallet.....

I dont think that such level of content production is anywhere near possible via mods.
That needs proper game engine.

Min requirements do not need a broadband connection, recommended does, I suspect this is for updates only, so you could play the game with no connection and just connect when there is an update available I am guessing.

You can install it without internet I did because I don't want them to have access from day one, however you need to go into the terminal and turn it off, then reboot and continue the installation, annoying but doable.

So I managed to get it all installed and now it's just testing and fine tuning the system, thank god most of my settings was saved in the cloud so reinstalling all my games and apps was pretty easy, so now I will turn my trusted old PC into a server when I get a used but working MOBO I can install instead of the broken one.

Sounds like my specs lie exactly on the minimum.

So how good will it perform on ultra settings?

don't know but I assume it will be as good as the XBOX ?
I just tested my new PC 1080P 380/150FPS on ultra setting in Heaven that's a lot more then what I got with the 1080OC and the temp is steady 70 C didn't even do anything, that's out of the box so to say :) I was a bit worried because I forgot to order thermal paste so had to use some old stuff I had upsidaisy...:oops:

Bought my sister-in-law the cheapest card that came with Starfield premium to replace the last one I gave her that just died, and was accidentally sent two keys. Was able to redeem both of them on my own systems (the AMD tool just checks for applicable hardware and my wife's computer has an RX 6900 XT while my HTPC has an RX 6800 XT) before the card I ordered was even delivered. Gave one to my brother and will probably give the second one a shot on the HTPC since my wife uses Steam on it anyway.

And, for the record, the bundled version is ultimately a Steam code.
