Mining is a central part of upgrading your gear or building up your own unique outpost or apartment in Starfield. As players explore different planets, they will be able to mine different resources and stock them up for various projects that will all require specific amounts of various resources.
Starfield: 15 Best Weapons, Ranked
There are so many different weapons to experiment with in Starfield. Here are the very best of them.
When wanting to play through the main story, players will switch from mining to finding and unlocking the secrets of the Starborn through the temples hidden throughout the galaxy. Due to some of the random elements in the game, it’s very possible one planet will randomly be much more lucrative to visit than others.

Where To Find Bessel III-B
Bessel III-B is a moon located in the Bessel system. It is located up and slightly to the left on the galaxy map from the Alpha Centauri and Sol system, right next to the Piazzi system. It is a moon of the planet Bessel III, which is the third planet from the sun. Like the rest of the system, this moon and its orbit have a recommended level of 10.
Starfield: 15 Best Solar Systems, Ranked
While you’re casually exploring the hundred-plus solar systems in Starfield, don’t forget to visit these ones; they’re the best systems in the game.
What’s On Bessel III-B
While not the same for all players, Bessel III-B has the potential of having a Starborn Temple on the surface. As players progress through the Constellation storyline, this planet may eventually come up as a required moon to visit. In orbit over this moon is also the potential of spawning the Mysterious Ship that houses Juno’s Gambit quest.
While those are randomized reasons to visit the moon, the real selling point is the incredible amount of resources to farm: water, nickel, iron, argon, aluminum, cobalt, platinum, and neon. For those well-versed in outpost building, this is a prime moon to set up an outpost that farms materials, as much of the planet is covered in resources with many locations to mine multiple resources at once with a single outpost.
