As you explore the vast expanses of Starfield, you will find many items, minerals, consumables, and other resources, but not all of them are equally valuable for your gameplay. For example, you can quickly get food like Potato or materials like Adhesive. But it’s not so easy when it comes to high-tech devices. One such item is the Semimetal Wafer, and if you want to increase the combat power of your space suit, you can’t do without this ingredient. Fortunately, you can get Semimetal Wafer in Starfield in several ways, and we will tell you about them.

The easiest and most reliable way to get a Semimetal Wafer in Starfield is to buy from one of the general stores in big cities. The average cost of this item is 149 Credits but may vary depending on the vendor. But if you’re still new to the market at Starfield, here are a few places where you’re almost guaranteed to find a Semimetal Wafer:

Jemison Mercantile – New Atlantis
Outland – New Atlantis
Sieghart’s Outfitters – Neon
Shepherd’s Store – Akila City
UC Surplus – Cydonia
Apex Electronics Shop – The Key

If you need more than the seller offers or the product you need is not in stock, you can sit on the nearest chair and wait 24-48 hours. After that, you can return to the store and buy more Semimetal Wafers. But keep in mind that this item is quite heavy, so empty your inventory beforehand.

However, you can also find Semimetal Wafer during your travels. You can rarely find this item by searching crates, lockers, and corpses of defeated enemies on various planets. In addition, you can get this item by boarding and raiding spaceships. We advise you to resort to this method only as a last resort, as it is fraught with deterioration of your reputation and persecution. But if you play as a space pirate, this option is what you need.

If you spend a lot of skill points to improve the Science skill tree, we have bad news for you. Unfortunately, you can’t craft the Semimetal Wafer on the Industrial Workbench.
