GUNC Stars Reach Field Guide
Stars Reach: Tools & field controls
Every tool has a specific job and its own controls. These pages explain what the equipment does in Stars Reach and where its related skills and recipes fit.
Wayfarers use specialized equipment for gathering, surveying, terrain work, building, camping, healing, and combat. Some tool abilities depend on learned skills or the Q and E choices set at a Loadout Kiosk.
Which tools work together
Set up your controls in town
Open Settings and check movement, interaction, Backpack, Map, tool actions, abilities, dodge, and chat.
If two actions are easy to confuse or a key is uncomfortable, fix it while you are somewhere safe.
Put the tool in your hands, read its actions, and try the controls you expect to use.
An update, reset, or different controller can change a familiar layout.
Give the Backpack a little order
Leave room for gathered materials, trades, and anything you pick up on the way.
Deposits, ores, refined materials, components, and finished items can have similar names but different uses.
Keep commissions, rare PQRV finds, town stock, and GovBot donations away from everyday crafting piles.
A smaller kit is easier to search when you need something quickly.
Set up the toolbelt for this trip
Use a place you can reach without searching the whole bar.
Depending on the trip, that may be a weapon, shield, Healix, medicine, or movement tool.
The Kiosk changes the Q and E abilities on the item currently in your hands.
Look at support gear, weapons, durability, and the actions assigned to them.
Pack for the trip
Put emergency supplies where you can reach them without searching through the whole Backpack.
Confirm their selected actions and targets before the route gets difficult.
Bring a repair or replacement for anything the trip cannot continue without.
Homestead access, zoning, citizenship, and Servitor edicts can all matter where you are working.
