How to unlock the The Stars My Destination achievement in Starfield - Definitive Guide

The key to this achievement is a high level grav drive, upgrading your Astrodynamics skill, or both. I would highly recommend both! Patience is a must as well as there are 120 Star Systems. Thanks for counting, Xero Deathz!

If you want to maximize your chance for this early in your playthrough, I would recommend just using your grav drive to hop between systems.

If you want to do this and earn some XP/Credits on the way...


I can list out each Star System you're looking to go through but there's really not much to this entire process. Be cautious that some Star Systems contain more than one Star. So they'll sometimes be stacked upon each other.

I spent some time to count things out and have a list of what I think are the 20 Binary Systems in the base game (not including NG+) as well as the only Three-Star System. From my count, that leaves 77 individual Star Systems. I do not plan to list those out but I can with pictures if people request it in the comments. If I've made any errors, let me know and I'll happily update things.

Binary Star Systems
- Alpha & Beta Andraste
- Carinae & Eta Cassiopeia
- Bessel & Piazzi
- Procyon A & B
- Sirius & The Pup
- Narion & Valo
- Alpha Centarui & Toliman
- Guniibuu & Indum
- Oborum Prime & Proxima
- Aranae & Olympus
- Alpha & Beta Tirna
- Xi & Zeta Ophiuchi
- Cheyenne & Maheo
- Bradbury & McClure
- Ursae Majoris & Minoris
- Alpha & Beta Marae
- Bolivar & Rivera
- Copernicus & Copernicus Minor
- Delta & Gamma Vulpes
- Bannoc & Bannoc Secondus

Triple-Star System
- Alpha, Beta, & Proxima Ternion

The way you track if you've visited the System before is it will be light up brightly if you have been there before and it be faded if you have not. Another method is to highlight the name. If you haven't visited it, it will only display the Name and Level. If you have visited it, it will show more details below the name. Thanks, lucylu1983!

In a more official way to count, as mentioned in the comments, you can press cn_start, then cn_Y, then scroll down to Exploration. The top of this section tells you how many Systems you've visited. Thanks, Ssj Sean!

I cannot confirm how NG+ works, but I assume you just need to visit 120, even though the achievement description says all. This is based on feedback in the comments.

Please leave me any feedback below and I'll happily update things. Happy grav jumping! music

Should add to the guide that there are 120 total systems to shoot for. Took me 3 hours of grinding

I used a ship with Gravity Drive 24 and astrodynamics skills at level 1. There's a tiny dot on the far left that's very easy to miss. It's the last Star Systems I found.

Very helpful tips, I'm missing one star system and IDK which one it is. Most websites are only listing 111 systems and not 120. Hovered over every system and every one of them has survey data. I know for a fact that I surveyed planets in one of them w/o traveling to them but having spent the last 3hrs traveling to everything one by one; I'm at a loss. Will have to try it again tomorrow but notate down every system for the 119 I have, and figure out the missing one.

I'm not sure what you mean. The only time I had issues was when a system was too far away for you current jump drive and it would be red. If you haven't visited a system before, you can't jump across it. It'll make a comment that you have to visit earlier in the path first.

Yeah I found Van Maanen's Star, noticed that one as I was working my way up to Vega and seen that star move unlike the others. I'll just have to hit them all again, but this time Survey everything inside to get the % high enough to give me a visual clue. I just wish I never "scanned / surveyed" a system w/o visiting it. When I unlocked that skill, I thought cool... yeah not cool.

I'm not sure, no. Are you asking for the ship? If so, I bought mine on Mars. I think with the upgrade it went to 30 light-years. I'm not sure the farthest jump off the top of my head.

If, like me, you've surveyed numerous planets with the scanner without actually visiting the star systems, and you're uncertain which ones you've visited, the best way to find out is to access the star map. When you highlight a star, the ones you've visited will display additional information under the destination.

If you haven't visited the star system, it will only show the destination and its level, without any further information.

By lucylu1983 on 10 Sep 2023 19:13
I didn't visit every system in my first playthrough but just had the achievement pop on my NG+ once I hit 120 systems visited. Seems like that's the trigger rather than actually having to visit all systems.

By Kinesis916 on 10 Sep 2023 19:19
From what I understand, there's 120 systems in the base game and then NG+ adds more areas to explore each time you use it.

Thanks for the info Lucy! I can add that to the guide later. I'm out of town right now. :)

By WhyattThrash on 13 Sep 2023 00:38
Yes, that's a good way to put it. Some of them aren't visually distinct, but just have two names or more. It can be a bit tricky! Maybe I should go through and label the ones that have more than one Star to help people out.

By Mr Peanutbubber on 13 Sep 2023 08:23
Currently the only helpful thing for remedying multi-system stars would be to be aware of their existence beforehand, and always make sure that when you jump to a new system if it’s a multi system one you grab them all immediately.

It might have bugged, but I unlocked this on my 4th NG+ run (just speed running for artifacts). I know I haven't been to every system, but after doing a lot of exploring in my first run, then hitting 96 temples so far, I must have reached 120 systems over all my runs.

I have 118 visited and swear after pouring over the map for hours and making sure I haven’t missed any clusters or anything that NG+ is needed for the achievement. I heard it adds some systems just didn’t know if the achievements were cumulative.

By xI Griffinator on 13 Sep 2023 17:31
Yes, from others' comments, if you do NG+ it should give you more systems and then your total count will rollover.

Can confirm you do NOT need NG+, but I understand the frustration of missing just a few. Have you double checked all the multi-star systems? I can list them out when I get home for you to double check. There's also a very tiny system that is on the left hand side that's easy to miss.

Can confirm it is cumulative. I had 118 explored and when I started NG+ the achievement popped as soon as I entered the star map. It’s just 120 explored total not “all in one playthrough” like the description suggests.

09/14/23 - i can also confirm it's cumulative (until they patch it).

I was at 119 and couldn't find the last stupid missing system despite everything being lit up. Did NG+ and it popped as soon as i was on board my ship. Side note: whomever was he UX/UI designers seriously need new jobs at Bethesda....

In the starmap systems you've visited glow with a white aura.
Systems you've not stopped at (so I'm guessing don't count for the achievement) are just a white dot.
Systems you haven't been to/don't have a route to yet are a red dot.

Confirming you don’t have to visit all the star systems for this achievement. You have to visit 120 unique star systems. Since your progress gets wiped on each NG+ run, each star system you visit for the first time in subsequent NG+ will count.

When you say they don't appear, do they show red at all for you? It's been a while for me, but I don't remember them NOT being visible, I just couldn't visit them for level 50 or 75 due to distance for a while.

I was able to get it on my first playthrough, only having done the story missions to get the main companions. The most annoying thing is the stupid star map, there are a few systems that are right near a star but are really hard to see., not the ones that have multiple ones in them, but the ones that are a bright star with 2 systems near it. It is really helpful whien scanning the map to see if the system has been surveyed as that will show that you have visited it already.

I did the 120 in one universe since I don't want to replay it in NG+. Wasn't a huge issue once I understood how to use the map, but my one tip is that there was one star on the far left side of my star map that was incredibly tiny compared to any other star, and had almost nothing in it, so you'd never normally find it. I guess it was a special type of star, but it was just a speck on my screen. If you're missing just one star, scan carefully for a star like this one.

By TheBigBB on 22 Sep 2023 08:02
I have searched my star map thoroughly and it seems I have visited every star but Exploration says 109 visited. I'm not sure if more stars become visible later in the game or if I must do NG+ to get this
0
0
By RogueHC on 23 Sep 2023 12:52
From what I know, there is not a certain point of progression that opens up the Star Systems. You do NOT have to use NG+, but if you're stuck, I heard that's easier because the achievement is cumulative for a character to 120.

Have you double checked all the binary systems? Some appear to be a single star and then have 2 or 3 stacked upon each other. I can list these out specifically if that would help. Let me know!

By Mr Peanutbubber on 23 Sep 2023 13:17
Only "Ternion" has three stars.
Hardest/last stars for me to spot were:
- Kryx (hostile pirate base, not count as visited if died&load)
- alpha & beta Andraste, top left
- Procyon two stars near Sol.
Also note the very dim one on left edge, Van Maanen's Star.

Not sure all are needed. Can't verify but on my 3rd playtrhough, I have lots left and it just popped. I have plenty left on this playthrough, more than half, and previous runs were mostly where main and side missions took me with slight deviation. After it popped, went to another star system that I knew I was on with another playthrough and my stats show 121.

TL;DR You can get this after ng+ by going to new systems in that playthrough combined with other playthroughs. Unlocks at 120 systems traveled.

That's odd. Have you done NG+? People have reported if you have issues using that because revisiting old systems counts as new ones toward the 120. I haven't done this yet myself to confirm.

You can visit all the systems in the first run of Starfield, you only need to be able to pilot c-class ships and complete the secondary mission called Overdesigned, with it we will get the Kepler R ship that will allow us to make 30 YL star jumps, below I leave you the link to the guide that explains how to get it.

Glad visiting Unity helped you. Can confirm you do NOT have visit there for the achievement, just FYI. :)

In addition to the star above, I was dumb and didn't see there were multiple options when visiting a star system. I had all of them bright and was wondering why I was missing so many. When you jump to a system some of them will have multiple systems you can jump to. You will see two or three options that you can jump in some instances. My total number was 120 as well.

Just an example when you land on Alpha Centauri you need to visit Toliman as well.
Or when you visit Procyon A you also need to visit B. They won't always have their own star system to light up

I hit 120 systems on the first play thru, i was probably 3/4 thru the main story. Protip the under Start>Status(Y)>Exploration Shows the "Sytems Visited". I was definitely foiled briefly by some binary stars and that freaky quasi-3d map.

To answer my own question: I thought multi-system stars were always slightly visually distinct, since I had some that were. Turns out that no, sometimes there’s no visual indication at all that it’s a multi-system star. Also, sometimes there are more than two systems to one visual star.

I just opened this in NG+ and you do not have to visit them all there. You save the visited planet number from the first playthrough and get the achievement when you have visited 120.

On this picture you can clearly see that I did not visit all the systems: https://imgur.com/82td3e4
And here you can see that I have visited 120: https://imgur.com/wvsTsZX

Bonus tip: You can combine this with the "Land on 100 Planets" achievement. Just drop off the first planet you see in every system, without even leaving the ship.

I'm into my 3rd playthrough and now on 130 systems visted. The achievement popped for not too long ago so it's not about visiting all in 1 playthrough, but reaching the number of 120 or so like others have said. The wording of the achievement could have been better

Thanks lucylu1983 for mentioning the survey data and how it'll show more info if you've gone further into that specific system. Helped find the final 9 or so I needed before unlocking this one.

Just as an FYI, if you scan a planet in a system you've never been, it highlights the system, so I don't think that is a failsafe way to test if you've visited a system; however, it looks like this still leaves it to where only the name and level pops up. That's how I would validate if you've been to a system or not, based on details shown when hovering over it if it comes down to where you are missing a couple. Otherwise, just head into NG+ and don't worry about it lol.

I can confirm, the name of this achievement is wrong, it should be ´´Visit 120 solar systems`` because if you visit 100, just start NG+ and visit another 20 solar systems and the achievement will unlock normally.

And if you're still reading this, good morning, good afternoon and good night.

Just had this pop myself. The other guide is pretty perfect, just get a ship with the best grav drive and put all your points into it and then bounce to every star system you can. However I would like to add that I do think that Unity counts, atleast it did for me. If you're far enough to understand what Unity means then right now you're probably going "ahhh" otherwise I'll just say finish the game. I was stuck on 119 and couldn't get it to pop, I finished the game and it popped during the credits so that's my only real explanation as to why.

Then there must be 121 systems, because I got it without ever going to whatever Unity is.

Can confirm. I unlocked the achievement without Unity. I'm only 4 missions into the story and just got it. My issues was finding of of those double stacks star systems.

The one you were missing without going to Unity was probably an incredibly small star. My 120th star looked barely larger than a pixel on my screen. MUCH smaller than any other star on my map. I was surprised when I highlighted it and it was actually a system.

Thank you TheBigBB. For anyone else looking, that teeny tiny star is called Van Maanen I and was the last one for me to find ((without doing Unity).It is on the far left of the map horizontally slightly above the level of SOL (which is easy to see).

Came here to say thank you to SilverSonic for the description of the location of the Van Maanen star. That was my 120th system. Cheers!

This one just popped for me. The easiest way to do this imho is to do a playthrough of the main quest, go through the unity. The ship you get in New Game Plus is more than sufficient to complete this quest. This way you don't have to learn shipbuilding or modification. I had Astrodynamics level one as well. Not sure if it was necessary.

My stats (press start and then press Y, and look under "Exploration") currently show that I've been to 148 systems. Not sure if it popped at 147 or 148 because I didn't see the notification.

Be sure to get Van Maanen's star. It's very isolated off to the left in the Galaxy map, and is very small and dim. It blends into the background. Beyond that be sure to get all of the binary star systems.

This achievement unlocks when you have visited 120 star systems. Some tips to do this:
1. Upgrade astrodynamics skill in the science skills. This helps reduce grav jumps necessary.
2. Add a high level grav drive ship module to your ship. This helps reduce grav jumps necessary.
3. You can jump to the system and then immediately jump away, and it still counts. No planet landings or space dogfights required. Just survive and get away.
4. There are actually 121 systems that you can encounter in a playthrough. One appears in the main story that you otherwise cannot find, but there are 120 statically available.
5. Visited star systems will have a glow around them versus star systems you haven't visited.
6. Star systems that are outside your current location's reach and never visited will be red. Find the closest system mid-path between the target system and jump there first. If this is too frequent, see tips #1 and #2.

I found this on Reddit and it helped me a lot! Credit to “Grmigrim” for posting this

“If anybody still fings this post, you can hover the system names with your mouse. If there is additional information on the left, you have been there, if there is only the system name and the level you havent visited it yet. This helped me a lot.”

Can confirm you can visit all Star Systems in one playthrough.

The achievement should be 120 different systems.
I recommend doing it in NG+ because the count keeps growing but the systems you visited are reset and recount. It's much easier than looking in the stars for the systems you've left behind...

Visit all 120 systems to unlock.
Proper map to see where every star system is. If it doesn't show survey when you hover over it that means you haven't visited it.

If you have 119. You must finish the game to unlock the last.

For some reason this achievement unlocked extremely early for me. I had about 30-40 systems left to visit on my travels and had it unlock prematurely. I wonder if there is something that causes this.

There are 120 different star systems in Starfield, housing 1,000 different planets and moons. In order to get this achievement and Stellar Cartography (10G) you’re going to need to visit every star system.

Now, this might sound daunting, but the truth is, it’s not at all. For one, it doesn’t take you long to see the whole galaxy in Starfield’s starmap (just zoom out with lt.png and you can see most of them with a 3 or 4-second scroll); and secondly, there’s actually a colour code system to tell you where you’ve been and where you haven’t. Let’s run you through it.

There are 3 colour states when looking at the galaxy starmap. They are:
  • Red - This means you’ve not been there, but is currently out of grav drive range.
  • White - This means that this planet is within range, and you’ve not been there.
  • Glowing white - This means that you’ve visited this star system before.
So, all you need to do is scroll from the galaxy, from bottom left to bottom right, and then top right to top left, visiting every star system that you’ve not been to before.

The only thing you have to be careful of here is the systems that are on top of one another, so use the right stick to shift the camera perspective, and then you’ll be able to see the star systems that were previously doubled up.

Visit the lot, then, unlock this achievement. If you need more assistance or are missing a few star systems, we created an in-depth guide here to assist:
