Terra Firma

Terra Firma
Summary Gain more health and O2 on planets, but have less in space.

Terra Firma overview

You can choose the Terra Firma Starfield trait from 17 options during the Starfield character creation screen. Upon finalizing your character and leaving the character creator menu, you will no longer be able to pick up additional traits like Terra Firma if you didn’t select it the first time around. You can get around this limitation by using a Starfield console command, but not without disabling Starfield achievements.

Fortunately, Starfield allows you to remove traits by speaking with trait-specific NPCs, so you can always remove the Terra Firma trait if you find it counter-productive, or not as much fun as you thought.

The opposite of the Spaced trait, Starfield Terra Firma grants a health bonus to you when you’re standing on a planet or moon. Generally, you’ll spend most of your time in Starfield on the ground, which makes Terra Firma potentially more valuable than Spaced.

in-game description

You’ve never acclimated to space. Health and oxygen are increased when on the surface, but decreased when you’re in space. (Can’t be combined with Spaced.)
