Starfield Players Show Off Its Physics Playground by Playing Dominoes With Books and Sandwiches

In time-honoured Bethesda game tradition, Starfield players are using objects found in the game world to play Dominoes.


YouTube channel Holy Moe uploaded a video showing an early effort at in-game Dominoes, which uses books, space food and other junk items to have fun with Bethesda’s physics playground. Footballs are also used to add extra complexity to the run. You can see the video in the tweet below.

“It’s just a concept right now using books as Dominoes,” Holy Moe explained. “Perhaps I will make something more advanced next time. The Bethesda physics are spectacular!”

Holy Moe’s video is a starting point for Starfield Dominoes, and already other players are creating more complex runs. The attempt below adds sandwiches to the mix.

Starfield Dominoes rekindles memories of much more elaborate efforts seen by players of Bethesda’s previous games. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion even had Domino Days.

But Starfield takes Bethesda physics to another level. It wasn’t long after the game came out that one player stuffed 20,000 potatoes into their ship’s cockpit to show off the physics. Since then, Starfield players have upped the object count in a bid to break the game, and used cheats to spawn items into space.

More recently, Starfield players have discovered it only ever rains on the player. In other Starfield news, Bethesda development chief Todd Howard recently revealed planet exploration was brutal before being “nerfed”. IGN also spoke with the creator of Starfield’s controversial paid DLSS mod, who hit back at pirates.
