In Starfield, you can collect a lot of Survey data and then sell it to make a lot of credits. These credits will help you in the Playthrough to buy essential things. Additionally, it is straightforward to do and does not prove to be overwhelming.
As you progress further into the adventures of Starfield, you will find yourself navigating to different planets and doing various tasks. Extensively, you will be surveying the planets and trying to gather further information or materials regarding the planet. Once you have the data, you must know where to sell it.
Where to Sell Survey Data in Starfield
Don’t worry about where to sell survey data, as it is straightforward and has multiple ways of doing it. You can sell survey data in two categorized methods that will depend on the classification of your data.
Habitable Planet Survey Data
If you have surveyed habitable planets, then to get the most out of your survey data, we highly recommend you visit Phill Hill, located on Mars. You will find him in Cydonia. This will get you the most money you can get for your survey data in Starfield.
However, Phill Hill only prefers Habitable Planet Survey Data. Considering that constraint, you can get a lot for your Survey Data.
Unhabitable Planet Survey Data
You can still sell your Unhabitable Planet Survey Data to someone else at Eye Space Station in Jamison Planet. The name of the person is Vladimir Sall. He has no constraints over Survey Data, and you can sell him all types of data on different planets.
He will also offer you great money for your data. Furthermore, you will increment your commerce skills, which will let you sell your survey data for more money. However, you will exhaust him financially if you intend to sell him much of it.
But don’t worry; you can still sell your survey data to him. Just sit in one of the chairs inside and wait for 48 hours. Then talk to him again, and his money will be refreshed, allowing you to continue selling your Survey Data in Starfield.
