Starfield: The most useful console commands at a glance – Here’s how to activate cheats
In Starfield, there are numerous planets and moons to discover. However, players criticize that they cannot catalog these. Important cities simply get lost.
- Most of the planets in the vast universe of Starfield are empty – intentionally. Bethesda attempts to create a sense of how small humanity is in comparison to the universe with the empty planets.
- While exploring, Starfield puts invisible walls in front of players. It makes clear that it is not a space simulation like No Man’s Sky.
- Nevertheless, there are many planets, that you should definitely visit. But be careful not to lose sight of the important places again.
On Reddit, user Creslin321 describes a problem that apparently many Starfield players share on September 14. He lacks a way to save discovered planets in a database because: they literally disappear into thin air unless he notes them down.
If you are still looking for a good spaceship for your explorations, we have a tip for you:
“I’m losing whole damn cities”
This is his problem: Creslin321 writes in the Starfield subreddit that the fact that he cannot search a database of scanned planets is “a major flaw.” After almost 40 hours, he found that things – presumably planets and individual cities – simply disappear into nowhere.
He writes:
And it’s somehow crazy to me that the game [doesn’t have a database], because that takes away all my motivation to explore space.
If I could create a database of planets to which I could jump for resources or for planning outposts, then exploration would be rewarding… but since that doesn’t happen, it really isn’t.

The post currently has over 5,000 upvotes and around 600 comments. Many players agree with him. Others discuss additional mechanics and features that are missing in Starfield.
Other players say: A comment with 600 upvotes comes from Scuttlefuzz. He writes that Starfield needs a kind of “Discoveries tab” where all systems are listed in alphabetical order. Scanned planets should be integrated there with discovered resources and locations, he argues.
User Distinct-Second-2228 writes that he could hardly believe it when he started Starfield and there was no database for planets and resources. After all, it’s a game set in the future.
“I’m losing whole damn cities. Please give me an option to choose from a list,” adds a user. To which echogecko4 replies: “The fact that there is no easy way to see the cities you can travel to is annoying.”
Who knows what else is to come in the future, because: Some players have already created helpful mods for Starfield. Perhaps a mod to catalog discoveries will come someday.
