59: Surveying the Settled Systems w/ Irresolute Cartographer Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

For episode 59 of the Starfield Lorecast, Jessica-Star welcomes the Irresolute Cartographer, a noted Starfield and Fallout creator known for his in-depth location videos and extensive mapping projects. The Cartographer focused his first year on a deep planetary survey, compiling system and biome data into incredibly detailed and comprehensive charts (some linked below)

We have a couple main topics this episode–the politics and control of the Settled Systems and a deep look at data from the Cartographer's expansive survey project. We talk about his methods of content creation along with some of our favourite quests and stories from Starfield's cities.
