Starfield: Space Habs Explained

Your ship will be nearby all throughout Starfield as it takes you from planet to planet. With it always being nearby, your ship can be further customized to fit whatever role you need, from either bringing workbenches with you to resource-rich planets to making sure there’s always a bed close by for you to stay well rested.

The Space Hab is the main part of the interior of your ship, and is where a lot of your crew can be found. Space Habs can not only contain workbenches based on their type but can also increase your total crew capacity for that ship, among many other benefits.

Updated On October 24th 2023 By Joshua Leeds: Players are given an incredible amount of creativity in how they design their unique ship or alter the preexisting ones. A Space Hab is one of the more important sections of a ship, and this article has been updated to include additional links to help players understand how Space Habs interact with the other parts of a ship.

What Are Space Habs

Space Habs are a central recreational section of your ship that doesn’t influence your ship’s flight patterns or combat capabilities. Many types of Habs bring useful things onto your ship, like workbenches, research stations, or even more beds for your crew. You can put multiple Habs on a ship you’re designing to ensure you have everything you need or switch out your ship’s current Hab for a new one.

While a Space Hab has a general design, there will be slight variations to the general layout to make it fit in your ship, depending on its layout. Despite the smaller changes, a Space Hab will always have the more useful qualities available.

Each Space Hab Type Explained

There are 14 different Space Habs players can use on their ships. While the major components of each type will stay the same, smaller aspects of the layout will change depending on the brand and layout of the ship.
