This is an easy one to get-it's available without any other investment in Social skills, and many backgrounds start with it already picked.

Gastronomy (Social)ĭetermines what Food & Drink projects you can complete. It may take you a while to get this one-it requires eight points invested in Science skills before you can even start putting points in Chemistry. The skills relevant to research are the following: Chemistry (Science)ĭetermines what Pharmacology projects you can complete. Unfortunately, unlocking them isn't as easy as just dumping points in one science-based skill-each category of research demands a different category of skill, and progressing in them all can mean investing a lot of points, especially as you need to rank them up further to do more demanding projects. Past the initial set, most research projects are gated by your Starfield skills. This means that even if you don't have all the resources you need to complete a project, as long as you have enough for one or two steps, it may be worth feeding them in anyway for a chance at not actually needing the bits you're missing after all. Using that Helmet Mods 1 example, if you handed over the three Tungsten, and got an overflow, it might give you the two Cosmetic for free. When you complete a particular resource requirement, there's a chance of receiving an 'overflow' bonus, which automatically fills out some of the other resource requirements of the project for free. Sometimes you won't even have to pay the full cost. Pay the cost, and the project is complete-you don't have to wait for it to finish or anything like that.

Helmet Mods 1, for example, requires three Tungsten, two Cosmetic, and three Polymer. To research a project within a category, you just need to click on it and feed the relevant resources into it from your inventory.
