Chlorine (Cl) is an inorganic gaseous resource in Starfield. Players need this mineral to complete Pharmaceutical Research, craft items, and upgrade materials. However, like with other toxic gases, Chlorine is particularly tricky to harvest as it can cause afflictions. This quick Starfield guide will explain how to get Chlorine with risk-free methods and how to farm it in large quantities.
Starfield: How to Harvest Argon
Argon, the dangerous chemical, is a must-have for research purposes in Starfield; here’s how to farm it the easy way.
How to Farm Chlorine
As a gaseous resource, Chlorine can be obtained in three ways: collecting it directly from a Cl source, purchasing it from merchants, or extracting it using mining tools. Regardless of how they choose to obtain it, players should be aware that Chlorine is a toxic gas, and prolonged exposure can cause lung damage.
The console command for Chlorine is 0000557C.
Get Chlorine from Vents
A Chlorine vent is a pile of rock that’s emitting gas. By getting closer to this hole, players will see the “Harvest” prompt appear on the screen. After that, they can press A (X on PlayStation) to collect Cl directly from the resource. Note that this method is the riskiest, as it exposes players to environmental damage.
Buy Manufactured Chlorine
For six Credits, players can purchase ready-to-use Chlorine from resource vendors. The best places to buy this material are Midtown Minerals in Akila City and the Mining League in Neon.
Mine Chlorine Deposits with Extractors
To efficiently farm Chlorine in Starfield, players should construct a Cl extractor directly over a deposit. The process involves building an Outpost on a Cl-rich planet and installing a few Chlorine Extractors. This setup initiates passive Cl production without requiring any interaction with vents. Here’s a step-by-step guide for building a Chlorine Extractor:
- Find a planet with Chlorine in its resources.
- Open the Scanner and press X (Square on PS) to place an Outpost.
- Head to the build menu and select “Extractor – Chlorine.”
- Build a power source near the extractor.
- Link the power source to the extractor.
- Place a Gas Container nearby to collect Chlorine.
Players can scan planet resources using the Starmap. All they need to do is hover over one and press LB (R1 on PlayStation).
Best Planets to Harvest Chlorine
Considering its accessibility, Gagarin in the Alpha Centauri system stands out as the optimal planet for Chlorine farming. Players can construct an early-game Outpost here before any upgrades. Additionally, there are other planets rich in Cl, such as Beta Andraste l-b in the Beta Andraste system and Bel III in the Bel system.
Starfield is available now for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
