Starfield: Where to Find Lithium
There are various resources scattered throughout the different systems in Starfield that players can explore and find in their playthroughs. As resources are required for crafting useful items or research projects, players must mine the resources to unlock new recipes for items, weapons, gear, and outposts. One of the useful resources for research projects and upgrading Weapons and Spacesuits is Lithium which is denoted by “Li”.
In this guide, we’ll tell you where to find Lithium in Starfield.
Where to Find Lithium in Starfield
Lithium is one of the rare resources in Starfield that is used in several crafting recipes and research projects. To find the Lithium, there are two planets where you can search for Lithium.
- Tau Ceti III
- Tau Ceti VIII-c
Both of these planets are in the Tau Ceti System which you can get to early in the game. Once you are in the Tau Ceti System, select any one of these two Planets and Press the LB Button to Scan them. Upon scanning the planet, your scanner will find the “Li” resource which is the Lithium. The Lithium is represented in a Blue color so, make sure to set a Landing Target in one of the respective areas and travel to the planet.
After landing on the planet, equip your Scanner by pressing the LB Button and start looking for resources on the surface of the planet. Upon finding a resource, go near it to confirm whether it is Lithium or not and use the cutter to mine the Lithium. You might have to explore for some time before you get to a high number of Lithium deposits on either of the planets because it is a rare resource.

Alternatively, there is also a vendor on Titan (Moon of Saturn) who sells Lithium. You can visit the Landing site of Titan and look for the shop in the settlement to buy the Lithium resource from the vendor. However, the vendor has limited stock so, if you want to buy more from him, you can try resetting the vendor’s stock.
