Starfield’s best UI mod now has an add-on focused solely on crafting

Like seemingly 99% of all open-world games of the last decade, Starfield has a lot to offer when it comes to turning the collected intergalactic junk into something reasonably useful.

Luckily for those who find the vanilla version of the game’s interface a bit clunky or lack the detailed information needed to discern whether attaching one thing to another thing is a smart move, a new one offers Mod a complete overhaul of Workbench user interface.

If you’ve modded Starfield in any capacity, chances are good that one of the first works you grabbed was m8r98a4f2’s StarUI Inventory, which ranks as the game’s most downloaded expansion on Nexus Mods. Now there is a successor called “StarUI Workbench” and it clearly aims to make navigating through crafting station menus much more pleasant and intuitive.

Among the changes the mod offers is a layout that is both more “compact” and fully customizable. It also displays plenty of details about what you’re trying to craft, so you can see at a glance what effect a particular modification will have on the damage the weapon you use it on will deal, or what ailments remedies will treat.

Good news for those who want to build outposts on every planet they visit is that this also makes assembling building materials in bulk a lot less tedious, as you can see the maximum number of building materials you currently need in the to design the situation.

It also eliminates the animations that play whenever you interact with a workbench, so you no longer have to watch your character gently lean forward for a few seconds every time you want to make a zero wire.
