That fan is _Denizen_, and according to their calculations on the Starfield subreddit, alongside the much talked about 1,000 planets, there are 82 unique places, 150 different POI designs, and 120 star systems in Bethesda's epic space-based RPG. In comparison, Skyrim has a total of 343 locations that _Denizen_ argues include a lot of "fairly similar" areas such as mines and caves.
