Summary
While most players have been busy crafting their ships and charting the stars, oneStarfieldfan has recreated the entire city of New Atlantis in a LEGO design software. The capital city of the United Colonies is one of the first major destinations that players will visit in the vast universe ofStarfield, and quickly makes itself a standout location with its stunning architecture and plethora of useful facilities.
Located on the lush planet Jemison in the Alpha Centauri system, New Atlantis is just one of themajor cities that players will visit inStarfield. This bustling city is home not only to countless colonists, but also to many players who have earned their citizenships in United Colonies space. The city serves as something of a hub in the early game especially, with New Atlantis split into several districts offering residential facilities, shops, bars, a spaceport, and much more. There are plenty of missions to obtain and factions to meet in the city, and while getting around isn’t too difficult thanks to New Atlantis' free-to-use public transport system, the lack of a detailed city map can make it hard to locate a specific store or vendor.

Still, the overall structure and design of the city as a whole makes ita standout location in theStarfielduniverseand a great place to see in-game. One big fan of the city has even dedicated a whopping 50 hours to recreating the city out of LEGO in the virtual design software Bricklink Stud.io. This impressive project was undertaken by the user Taris120 of Reddit, who shared their creation in a post on the site which rapidly attracted the attention of the game’s community. While not existing as a physical build largely due to structural concerns, the build still encompasses every area of New Atlantis and puts it all together in a breathtaking LEGO miniature.
With the lack of a detailed in-game map of the city and its vendors, many fans have pointed out that this incredibly detailed build offers a perspective of the city that the game does not, perhaps making it easier for players to navigate. Two widely-discussedpoints of contention betweenStarfieldfansis the fast travel and map systems present in the game, and while the travel mechanics may not have been what some players had in mind prior to the game’s release, players that over-rely on the fast travel feature may miss out on some of the many wonders the game has to offer.
There’s certainlyno shortage of sights to see inStarfield, either. From uncovering long-lost monuments of humanity on Earth to stumbling upon top-secret science facilities on some alien moon, there are countless awesome locations to find which complimentStarfield’s aesthetic, many of which will no doubt inspire similar fan-made art projects in the future.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
