Starfield Update 1.14.70 Prepares for Shattered Space

Starfield update 1.14.70 arrives alongside the Shattered Space expansion, adding Creation Kit distant LOD tools, REV-8 vehicle fixes, ship builder toggles, and numerous quest bug fixes.

Starfield update 1.14.70 sets the stage for the Shattered Space expansion while resolving quest progression bugs, vehicle placement quirks, and ship builder issues.

Shattered Space and General Additions

The update accompanies the launch of the Shattered Space story expansion, sending players to House Va'ruun's home world. The Creation Kit includes automated processing for distant LOD models, and the limit on loaded creations is raised past 255.

Vehicle and Ship Builder Tweaks

The REV-8 vehicle receives fixes, including corrected wheel VFX positioning, fixed vehicle menu input behavior, and separation of followers Kaiser and Vasco. Ship builders gain a game settings toggle for Flip Merge behavior, and fixes prevent crashes when modifying ships containing live mines.

Quest and Location Bug Fixes

Quest progression blockades are resolved, including issues in Brownout, In Memoriam, Legacy's End, and The Best There Is. Location collision issues in Akila, Neon, New Atlantis, and the Londinion Steam Tunnels are patched to prevent players from getting out of bounds.

UI and Settings Improvements

Large Font Mode display errors in the skills, barter, and missions menus are fixed, long resource names truncate correctly, and ship registration costs display accurate amounts across vendors and hangar menus.

Why this patch matters

Update 1.14.70 clears out quest blockers and polishes vehicle handling for players entering the Shattered Space expansion.
