Biomes on Kreet

Even though gamers will find barren planets, there are diverse ecosystems with all sorts of landscapes and varied alien life. Kreet is a temperate astronomical object, and it sits comfortably in the Narion System, so it has the ability to harbor life.

How to Discover Kreet’s Trait

Some planets and moons have their own unique traits, but gamers will have to explore them to uncover these mysterious traits - oftentimes, this is the hardest part ofsurveying planets inStarfield.To discover Kreet’s trait, gamers have to open their Scanner and point toward the Unknown markers that appear on the horizon. Scanning these markers will reveal the type of point of interest that they are. Gamers must keep doing this until they find a marker that reads “Natural”, and then they must follow it.

Once fans approach the Natural point of interest, they can scan it again to find out its name, and this will reveal it to be anUnexplored Geological Feature. They must then keep their Scanner activated, as they will need it to find the two pieces of evidence required to unearth the crucial information necessary to reveal the planet’s trait.

Gamers should avoid approaching the gas and water near these Unexplored Geological Features, as they contain microbial toxins that will decrease their total health until they return to their ship.

Players will be able to locate and scan two large structures near the Natural area. These are two eroded reef outcroppings that must be scanned, as they will provide evidence of long-vanished oceans that existed on Kreet.This will reveal Kreet’s Deep Ocean Deposits trait.
