Procuring Palladium in Starfield: A Guide
In Starfield, Palladium can be located on the surface of rock faces. It can be mined either by simple mining techniques or via Outpost mining for a greater yield.
Your quest for Palladium should start by consulting your map and searching for a planet marked with the periodic symbol for Palladium – Pd. Once you’ve identified a planet with this symbol, it indicates the presence of the substance. By examining the planet’s surface (Click LB), you can identify sites with large deposits of Palladium.

While the above process allows you to obtain smaller amounts of Palladium, but for substantial quantities, Outpost mining is advisable. Although this method requires more resources and time, it might be more suitable depending on your situation.
Lastly, it’s worth noting that Palladium can also be bought from vendors. This could be a useful tactic if you’re in an urgent situation, but be aware it will come with a cost.
