Starfield has a ton of hidden gameplay settings that most players never touch. The May 2024 update added custom combat damage sliders, survival mechanics, carry capacity options, and more. This guide breaks down every setting worth changing and how they affect your XP gain
In this guide I cover:
Combat damage sliders (ground and ship, separate for enemies and player)
XP modifiers (up to +75% bonus)
Carry capacity and cargo access distance
Ammo weight toggle
Healing and Med Pack options
Sustenance (hunger and thirst system)
Affliction treatment and environmental damage
Dialogue camera toggle
