Starfield Second Thoughts: Walkthrough, Helping Miners, Safe Settlement Transfer, and Unraveling Shawn Robinson

Starfield offers a wide range of missions that take place in various hub worlds or populated settlements like Cydonia or Hopetown. However, there are also repeatable missions that you can stumble upon while traveling, offering valuable rewards such as Credits and loot. One of these missions involves assisting miners who have lost their way. Let’s dive into the walkthrough for completing “Second Thoughts” in Starfield.

Starfield: “Second Thoughts” Walkthrough

Before we delve into the specifics of completing “Second Thoughts” in Starfield, it’s important to note that the location where you receive this mission is random. Some players have encountered it in places like Alpha Centauri or Nesoi in the Olympus system, while others have found it in the Jaffa system. The location entirely depends on your unique playthrough. Now, let’s get started!

1. Search for Miners in Need of Assistance

If you’re looking to embark on the Second Thoughts mission in the game, locating miners who require your assistance is the first step. Typically, you can find these miners on planets with Mining Outposts. However, they may also be present in locations such as a Military Post. Remember, it is important to note that the availability of the mission is dependent on random number generation (RNG).

Identifying the right place is crucial, as the miner you speak to will mention their lack of success in their expedition and their inability to secure transportation for a while. They will explicitly express their desire for a lift to the nearest safe settlement.

Safely Transporting Miners to Settlement

When completing missions in a game, it’s important to pay attention to the details. Often, the mission objective will mention delivering people to a safe settlement. However, to successfully complete the mission, you need to read the description carefully, as it will specify the exact location they must be brought to.

For example, let’s say the objective says, “Transport the Six Sisters Miners to a safe settlement.” Merely taking them to any random settlement won’t suffice. By reading the mission description, you’ll find that they need to be taken to Waggoner Farm.

Once armed with this knowledge, simply take the miners to the specified settlement and you’re done! In return, you’ll receive a generous amount of experience and Credits as rewards. Speaking of Credits, be sure to check out our guide on how to do the Starfield puddle glitch for additional tips.
