But one of the most exciting announcements may seem mundane, but it has long been requested: the ability tocraft ammo inStarfield.
How to Craft Ammo in Starfield
Complete Ammunition Projects at the Research Station
The first step toammo crafting inStarfield,is researching the various Ammunition Projects available at the Research Lab. There is a lab found on the Frontier, inthe basement of the Lodge, and in multiple buildings throughout the game.

Where to Find Primers and Diodes in Starfield
Small Round Primers, Large Round Primers, Charged Diodes,andMagnetic Diodescan be found throughoutStarfield’s various systems, but the easiest way to pick them up fast is to simply purchase them. If you are looking to find them in bulk, you will have to make trips to several planets. Rarely will you find one merchant who carries all four types, but visiting a mix of weapon dealers and sellers of general goods will usually net you what you need.
For example, in New Atlantis, head toUC Distributionand theTrade Authority, as well asCenturion Arsenal. Neon is a great place to go as well, withNeon TacticalandKore Kineticsvery close to the Trade Authority andNewill’s Goods. They are not expensive, with each pack rarely costing over 100 credits. Look forthe main cities inStarfield, as that is where you will find the most resources.
