How to visit your parents in Starfield

You will want to know how to visit your parents in Starfield if you picked the Kid Stuff trait, as it makes them characters in the game and gives you some useful bonuses to take advantage of.

The traits in Starfield are optional features you can pick in character creation that give you some benefits with a tradeoff. Kid Stuff is one of those that adds your parents to the game, but forces you to give them 2% of your credits every in-game week.

If you can afford the cost and know how to make money consistently with jobs or smuggling contraband, it's a good trait to choose. So, check out how to visit your parents in Starfield.

Once the missions mentioned above are finished, you will get an Activity notification asking you to meet them. This will mark the location on the map making it easy to find, but if you need specific directions, you can find Pioneer Tower in the Residential District of New Atlantis.

Ignoring this notification will cause your parents to send a concerned note to Constellation, and they will eventually visit their HQ to find you - so there's no avoiding them really.
