Starfield has only been out for a month, yet one player has already managed to survey every planet it's possible to do so on.

Easily one of the biggest selling points of Starfield is just how many planets there are. There's a lot of them! More than 1000, in fact, a pretty ridiculous number, and one that very quickly made me think "yeah, I'm probably going to visit 30 of them, maybe." But other people are a bit more ambitious than me, and by a bit I mean a lot, as Reddit user DoomZero shared last week that they had in fact fully surveyed 1694 planets. Which, to be clear, is essentially every single planet in the game, with the only reason that a couple aren't fully surveyed being a bug.

It's a surprising accomplishment, especially considering that they shared in the comments that of their 200 hour playtime, 180 of that was just surveying planets, a length of time I expected to be a lot longer. In an interview with IGN, DoomZero shared how they achieved this accomplishment, as well as their reasoning behind starting the quest in the first place. "Once I started playing and learned about the surveying and fully surveying planets the idea just kind of got stuck in my head," DoomZero said. "I am a bit of a completionist and thought that it would just be a cool personal accomplishment."
