Chlorosilanes (SiH3CL) is a relatively rare Starfield resource used in various crafting and research projects. There are a few methods that you can use to get Chlorosilanes. The first one includes locating it on different planets and moons.
You can also buy it from the different vendors/merchants in Starfield. At last, you can find a Chlorosilanes seep and place an extractor over it to collect it. You will be scratching your head at that time as you will have no idea where to start. That is why I’m here to help.
Starfield Chlorosilanes locations
You need to head to the planet and dig it from there. You also need to know the chemical name of Chlorosilanes, which is “SiH3CL“.
Not all planets have Chlorosilanes, but there are a few planets where you can find it. Here is a table that mentions all planets and moons that have Chlorosilanes:
| Planet Name | System |
| Jemison | Alpha Centauri System |
| Earth | Sol System |
| Gagarin | Alpha Centauri System |
| Sirius III-b (Moon) | Sirius System |
| Kurtz | Alpha Centauri System |
| Porrima III | Porrima System |
| Mars | Sol System |
| Sumati | Narion System |
| Dalvik | Narion System |
| Volii Epsilon | Volii System |
| Europa | Sol System |
| Procyon I | Procyon A System |
| Shorun | Valo System |
While looking for Chlorosilanes, you cannot find the best spots to farm this resource. You cannot find this on the “Planetary Resource Map.” You need to get on the planet and hunt for the resources.
At the surface of these planets, you can easily find the Chlorosilanes. But how will you find it on such a giant planet’s surface? The answer is to use your Hand Scanner and scan the surface.
If you find a Chlorosilanes Seep, the scanner will indicate the resource as SiH3Cl. Interact with it to collect it. You can get it in loot boxes and crates. But your odds are very unlikely.
Where to buy Chlorosilanes
If you are too lazy to search Starfield’s surface or crates, you can buy it from the shops. Remember that some shops will have Chlorosilanes available only if you reach a certain level. The Item ID for Chlorosilanes is 557E.
Here are shops from where you can get it:
- Jemison Mercantile, located in New Atlantis in Jemison.
- UC Distribution Center in New Atlantis’s Commercial District.
- Sieghart’s Outfitters in Neon City.
- Shepherd’s General Store in Akila City.
- Denis Averin is located in Cydonia on Mars.
If you are in the game’s early stages, the best merchant for you is Jemison Merchantile. After getting there, you will also be able to find other items such as Membranes, Spacesuits, Med Packs, and Ship Parts.
If the merchant doesn’t have Chlorosilanes in stock, you might have to wait 24 hours in-game as it is the required time after which merchants restock their inventories. You can choose to rest on a nearby bench to pass this time quickly.
You can also use the console code “000557E” to get Chlorosilanes if you don’t want to spend credits.
How to mine Chlorosilanes in Starfield
To mine Chlorosilanes, you must find a Chlorosilanes vein or a node on a planet’s surface. These are also called Chlorosilanes Seep, which can be found by scouting the whole planet with a Hand Scanner. After that, you can harvest it by simply interacting with it.
To scale the whole farming process, you must build an outpost on the planet. At the Outpost, install a Chlorosilanes Extractor. You must also power the extractor through a Power Supply from a Solar Array or Wind Turbine. It depends on the planet’s weather.
After you have set up the extractor in Starfield, you can leave it there. It will collect Chlorosilanes, which you can start seeing after a few in-game moments.
