Starfield Habs explained: All types and their components

Starfield features specialized interiors in Habs that can be used as living quarters, extend ship storage, help produce items, and much more. If you’re wondering about the specifics, here is everything you need to know about Habs, detailing all Hab types and manufacturers. 

The ship in Starfield is essentially your constant companion, as you’ll be spacefaring your way across the 1000-plus planets in it. Regardless of whether you built it yourself or simply bought it, you would want to keep it as tidy as possible and customize it to your liking. An important part of it is the Hab or Habitat module.

Habs can serve as different functional parts of your ship, such as armories, cargo holds, infirmary, living quarters, and more. Here’s everything you need to know about Habs in Starfield, including their types, uses, and more.

What are Habs in Starfield?

Habitats or Habs in Starfield are sections that offer additional spaces and are used for necessary modules like research stations and workbenches, which allow you to unlock, craft, or upgrade new items. While they have no effect on your ship’s combat and flight capabilities, they may add components that just increase your crew and cargo capacity.

You can design a ship with multiple Habs to ensure you have everything you need, or you can replace your ship’s current Hab with a new one. You can purchase Habs from several different vendors in Starfield. However, you can only make upgrades to your ship via the Ship Build menu.
