Summary
AStarfieldplayer has discovered a locked pile of dung in the game due to a hilarious glitch. WhileStarfieldwas one of Bethesda’s most bug-free releases, it’s still a massive game that is prone to weird glitches, and this bug is certainly among the most hilarious ones a gamer can run into.
Starfieldwas Microsoft’s biggest first-party release in 2023. Despite being available on Game Pass,Starfieldbecame a best-seller on Steam, partly due to being widely praised soon after its release. However, as time passed, many players discovered all sorts of bugs in the space exploration game, ranging from game-breaking to funny glitches.

Now, aStarfieldplayer called InitialPirate1359 discovered a hilarious glitch while exploring a planet inStarfield. They found a pile of monster dung, but could not open it due to it being locked, something that makes no sense considering this is a fully “natural-made” container.To unlock containers inStarfield, players need to use Digipicks, but InitialPirate1359 did not have any of these handy items, and was unable to obtain whatever was inside the dung pile. The bug likely happened becauseStarfieldrandomly generates some parts of the game, including what kinds of containers are locked or not. However, it seems that Bethesda did not foresee some of these locked containers being piles of alien monster dung.
Locked Dung Piles Are Only Some of Starfield’s Many Bugs
Starfieldhas quite a few bugs, but at least most of them are somewhat harmless. For instance, a gamer saw afunny glitch when a ship landed in the water inStarfieldearlier this year. The player looked inside the sunken ship and discovered all of its inhabitants trying to swim and hilariously failing at that, asStarfielddoes not have any actual swimming mechanics for NPCs.
Another curious glitch-related situation happened a few days ago when a player tried to take advantage of aweirdStarfieldbug while building an outpost. During the construction, one of the walls of the player’s outpost simply vanished into thin air. The player decided to use the opportunity to build a free-floating deck through the then inexistent wall. However, the gamer’s plan backfired when they left the game and loaded it again, as the missing wall had reappeared, blocking off their ingenious deck. Hopefully, Bethesda will keep supportingStarfieldand getting rid of these glitches, but the game is enormous, so it’s likely that some of them will never be addressed.
