Starfield offers a unique feature similar to Fallout 76, where you can craft furniture, weapons, and workbenches to help you on your journey. However, crafting these items requires specific materials, including the Adaptive Frame. Obtaining this material can be a daunting task during the game’s early stages. But worry not. We have identified the most accessible locations where to get Adaptive Frame in Starfield, ensuring you have enough to craft whatever you need. So, get ready to embark on your journey and start building your dream settlement in the vast expanse of space.

How to Craft Adaptive Frame in Starfield
However, if you bought all the shops’ supplies and need more, you can craft Adaptive using an Industrial Workbench for one Iron and one Aluminum. If you lack a specific material needed to craft an Adaptive Frame, select the Track function to help locate the specific material you need by scavenging or purchasing. You can Track each material by pressing the A button or R key.
