STARFIELD - Outpost Tutorial - Beginners Guide - Get Started With The Basics

[@midniteoyl8913]

PSA: Turn "Outpost Item Rotation Speed" down to 1 in the Controls settings for a much easier time placing buildings and items and getting them aligned.

[@Graybeard_]

good tip! That's been bugging me.

[@stackerman2800]

I love you

[@Beeblebum]

Good call!

[@onndreah8492]

There are other settings that help as well. Output Flycam Translation Speed controls how fast your marker moves over the terrain, Flycam starting pitch sets the view angle when you go to flycam and Flycam starting distance sets how far you start above the ground

[@jsummar]

I play on Xbox with a controller, and I also find it difficult to select an output link and precisely placing things. Thanks.

[@xxplatitudinousxx]

I was doing my outpost yesterday and I said out loud, "I wish beeble had a guide for this" low and behold the man himself blesses us once again😂

[@Beeblebum]

😆❤️

[@ajalbetjr]

Thank you for this amazing guide!! I'm one of those players who has spent weeks 'adventuring' (now lvl 46, hanging out on lvl 75 Masada system!) but is totally CLUELESS about making outposts!! Now I will be able to create a base of operations in the frontier!! You've got a new scribe! 😀👍🙏💪🔥🔥🔥

[@worfie]

Did u know the storage box behind the research console in the lodge has unlimited storage, as does the safe in your bedroom at the lodge. 👍👍

[@joshuasadler9243]

Cheers mate that's gonna help me alot.

[@nickm7394]

Can you link either one to your ship or outpost?

[@worfie]

@@nickm7394 nope

[@iongriffis2435]

Knew about the safe in my room but not about the one in the work area which I presume is where it is? I shall have to go check if it's still there considering updates and things. Not found similar in the player house in Dazra though or anywhere

[@lufasumafalu5069]

can you link your lodge safe to ship cargo ? how do i add cargo space to frontier

[@Just-J-10]

Thanks for the beginner guide!

[@Beeblebum]

Oh Hey! thank you for the super thanks! 🙏

[@tazmanshadowske997]

Just got started in starfield and your guide is your best thumps up and subscribe.

[@KyleStreetMusic]

Great video. If you’re starting with aluminum and iron, I would recommend dropping an industrial workbench earlier on to make the adaptive frames so you don’t have to travel back to the lodge to do that.

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah… I actually cut that part out… haha. 😂

[@ashleyrobinson3394]

I do not play crafting games but started playing Starfield and have no clue what i am doing building outposts, this is helpful so thank you 👍✌️

[@NVDCNT]

Watched your video at 2x speed and only had to pause 4 or 5 times. Great vid mate. Thank you.

[@ReclinedPhysicist]

I've watched a lot of beginner Base building videos and this is one of the best

[@alexeizaraiov]

This was by far the best guide on Outposts ive found. Thanks a lot mate. Cheers

[@Beeblebum]

That is great to hear, thank you... 😊

[@tashman3217]

absolutely fantastic guide , thank you fir your help brother ! ❤

[@chibynite]

Thanks for such a clear and well organized explanation. Very well done!

[@Midas8610]

What's funny... without tutorials like that I would have no freaking clue how to do all of this! Thanks for the great content!

Same.😊

@@NomadVarietyShow same!!!

[@heneagedundas]

Thank you. I had worked out some things through trial and error, but this filled the gaps in my knowledge nicely.

beeble op op . amazing guide bro

[@cdclement]

This was fantastic, thank you!

[@PsyRedMan]

Great guide Bee! I just started NMS and it is quite the learning curve for me. This helped heaps.

[@bones1969-yes]

@@PsyRedMan I don't know how this helped in NMS, this is starfield ha ha.

[@NatNMS]

Thank you for this Beebs, so glad you're covering this game, I realise after watching this there's a lot more to building a base than I actually thought!!🤯

[@SurvivalBobGaming]

Awesome guide! I have been struggling to get all the elements I wanted in the same outpost. Thanks for the biome border tip!

[@Beeblebum]

I really like the way they did the resource deposits in Starfield.

[@torannis5714]

very thorough, very well organized...best I've seen

[@ssejr01]

I've watched alot of guides, this one is the best.

[@mboatman40220]

One of the better tutorial videos. Thank you.

[@Sunsurf3r]

Awesome! Very good guide and logically structured. Good job thanks!

[@qaidikramuddin]

So helpful, so well explained. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! Your videos are always so well put-together.

[@pastyman3247]

Awesome video, thank you for such a detailed how too video. Your the first one to explain it all so in such layman's terms. The little tips like renaming your out post scanner was priceless. I'll give you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@davemelton5770]

Thanks for the video, first one that was easy to follow and easy to understand!!! Thanks!!!!

excellent guide, thank you!

[@NomadVarietyShow]

Thank you for this. Much appreciated

[@Enrasilver]

Great tip beebs! Just now getting into outpost building, definitely gonna be using these techniques 👍

[@zhunt69]

So much to do in this game , a bit overwhelming . Have to start working on my outposts at some point , thanks beebs

[@aristotlekumpis7095]

Same here. The last thing I am thinking about is building an outpost.

[@EnglishInfidel]

It's a pointless mechanic designed to waste your time and artificially inflate play-times. It's a total scam mechanic.

[@MichaelCordeiro]

What a great tutorial video as always! This really helps me out as I'm starting to get into outpost building. Looking forward to more from you about manufacturing and setting up networks!

[@deanlawson6880]

Good Starter tutorial. Thanks for this!

[@NannyOggins]

As always from you, a very clear and well organised tutorial. I will probably never need it as I don’t have an Xbox or PC but the game looks interesting and I would enjoy building bases.

[@chanspirit1]

Thank you very much for this tutorial, very clear and easy to understand 😊

[@AstroCelt]

This guide was so good it earned you a sub. I'll follow it to the letter .

[@brandonproctor5694]

This vid blew up! Well done man!

[@drgnflygaming1732]

Thank you this is very helpful!

[@MrJans3n]

Awesome video - exactly what I was looking for. I largely skipped base building in FO4 but it feels like a bigger part of the experience in this one

[@elliottduprat368]

I get the complete opposite feeling, although I feel this maybe due to the fact that starfields crafting systems feel less intuitive that fo4

[@johnd3124]

its not. theres not that much incentive to build outposts. for example you cant craft ammo, you cant even craft medpacks 😂 the only incentive for resources is for upgrading weapons and spacesuits.. and you only need that a couple of times. Fallout 76 has amazing basebuilding gameplay.. they shouldve copied that, but Bethesda.....

[@jediphouka]

This was a great video!! Thanks for the guide. Im about to work on my forst outpost :D

[@majortomwilkinson]

Very nicely explained, thank you sir.

[@asauer90]

Great video! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@matrickjohnson6246]

Thank you for a good tutorial! I especially liked the resource breakdown and HUD overlays. Keep up the good work!

[@weathercrafter]

Fantastic tutorial. Good work.

[@enzo_plays]

Very informative and helpful! Subbed for more content.

[@wanderingkrieger8265]

thank you so much for this video .... by the way you videos are always so knowledgeable and very helpful

[@cmcgill1990]

Thanks for the tips, the small landing pad does work for your own ship, you just need to select your outpost from the planetary map.

[@Beeblebum]

I tried with my ship, and while it is smaller than 40m, it does not land… not sure if it is because of the type of ship… or because there is a conversion error.. lol

[@NorthStarBlue1]

@@Beeblebum I'd say the benefits of the large landing pad tend to outweigh the cost of building it anyway, unless you're making a full on colony setup and are really squeezing every last bit of buildable space.

[@alessimc]

Super helpful video man, thank you.

[@its_me_ty]

You nailed it Sir! Great video! Please edit or remove the part about going back to the Lodge for frames, just build the industrial workbench.

[@oarch4ng3lo]

What a great informative video! Can't wait to build my first outpost. Cheers!

[@andrewgrace4410]

Very informative 😊

[@Deviiljho9]

Very good video man i just subbed and liked

[@19Finnen78]

I tried building previously but i didnt know anything about what to make or what kind of character would suit my game style, but i found building an outpost a time consuming hassle. This video was a nice pick me up to things i already knew but didnt know how to utilize the skills properly, the multi resource outpost is a very good idea! Definetly going to explore that option further perhaps find a 3 or more resource location.

[@saduriks]

Took me over 2 hours of looking on a different planet and i could not get both at the same spot. I landed on this moon and bam! First try.

[@Wilding777]

Nice video Beebs. I notice you got the Star Eagle. That’s my task today

[@Beeblebum]

Pretty decent ship… holds itself well in a fight, although i did upgrade the weapons on it.

[@omeraktas4821]

you can actually get iron nickel aluminium and cobalt in the same outpost in the bessel 3, there was a video explaining where exactly to land and its not difficult to find the spot at all. but i guess you can find places where you can get all the ores in any planet in one outpost, you just gotta spend time looking for the biomes

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, there are some really great spots to collect 4-5 resources at once.

[@onndreah8492]

So .. unlike the procedurally generated secondary facilities on planets, are the resource layouts on a planet the same for everyone? I was following another tutorial yesterday and the resource types where the same but the location felt different but I might have just got the location wrong

[@Beeblebum]

@@onndreah8492 they should be the same, the location most likely felt different because your ship might have landed on another spot. Or you just found another spot with the same resources. Once you are at the convergence of biomes, there are more than just one perfect location. 😊

[@clioadams3091]

Thanks! The resource area is a bit confusing- when building the outpost it said I had 3 resources available in the area, but when I went to put my extractors down I couldn't find a single place to set them.

[@Beeblebum]

Hope you figured it out, if not, the resource patches only show when you take out the correct extractor. And sometimes the resources are just at the edge of the building radius.

[@switchhit3774]

I am amazed that the developers did not think to add a grid, either a hexagon, or a square that you can toggle through in order to snap object to that grid, so the player would have the option of a square grid, a hex grid, or a free layout as it currently is.

[@Marixa1979]

How the heck do you zoom in and out on the PC for the build view? I keep wanting to use the mousewheel, but that just changes what is selected to build.

[@Beeblebum]

If you pull your mouse backwards or forwards it will zoom in and out - It definitely is the most ridiculous way to do it... lol

[@Marixa1979]

@@Beeblebum Thanks for the assistance, that is a pretty terrible way of assigning the controls. With mouse and keyboard there are so many better ways to make it more user friendly, and yet they chose to go this route.

[@edcoleman7019]

Man, placement and alignment is so much better in NMS with their snapping system.

[@dmcgr19800]

How did you raise the airlock to build it level with the landing pad?

[@thedave1771]

Seems like a good guide, explained some stuff I wasn't sure about. I still haven't seen an answer about "why" though, why bother making an outpost at all? The lodge has unlimited storage and most of the needed stuff, I added the payment board and a couple little things to my ship, the result just seems like a lot of work that wouldn't change the game if I just don't bother. Am I missing something?

[@Somerandomdude100]

Thanks for the help! So you don’t have to link the power to the extractors?

[@Beeblebum]

No, power seems to be wireless… lol

[@GTApex]

Am I the only one who watched just because it’s by Beebz? I don’t even play Starfield bro! Lol. Loved it, very interesting

[@angelitabecerra]

Thank you for this Beeble 🙏🏾 Does anyone have a guide out for smuggling contraband? I just found a contraband cache worth 188k credits 😅

[@Beeblebum]

Hey Angelita - thank you! If you check my video about mining money farm - then I actually show the system and starstation where you can sell contraband. 👍

[@angelitabecerra]

@@Beeblebum Thanks!

[@zazariins9397]

Dumb question maybe, but how do you raise/lower the height of buildings (in this case the airlock)? On xBox and can't work that out.

[@Beeblebum]

On Pc that should be the W/S keys and on the controller one of the thumbsticks. You can only raise it after you placed it, then raise it and confirm. Btw, not all parts can be raised… f.e. Solar panels or extractors.

[@Graybeard_]

Good to see you covering Starfield. I have 180 hours in so far, and feel like I haven't even scratched the surface. My first outpost is on Bessel, btw. If you have any pull with modders, importing Skyrim building assets (same engine) into Starfield would be epic! 8-)

[@Beeblebum]

No pull… haha. I might do some mod review videos in the future. Although its gonna be much better once the creative engine is released for public.

[@Graybeard_]

Agreed. I'm running vanilla until CE is out.@@Beeblebum

[@elksalmon84]

They should fire a one who was working on UX and hire UX specialist. I wonder how is this mess with controls passed through QA and testing? - UI should have mouse cursor Arrows should control listbox and tabs - Mouse wheel and ZX should zoom map. - Mouse3 hold and QE should rotate map - Mouse2 hold and WASD should pan map - Mouse1 and Space should build etc

[@slamacowsimon9320]

I found a four corners of lead nickel cobalt and uranium

[@Arkangel88Mr]

If I screwed up the first time, and have to remove outpost, do I loose anything when I deconstruct?

[@Beeblebum]

As far as I have experienced, the resources were added to either my inventory or my ship. You can always try with 1 or 2 building parts, remove the beacon and see if the resources are returned to you.

[@smacfe]

Excellent tutorial. Still as a new player I laugh at the unused 15 skill points.

[@gazamaza7739]

how do you have a building connected to the launch pad

[@EvanLancaster-l9u]

Do you know where the list for resources I need is

[@Shiftry87]

Dont u lose extractor efficency if u overlay each respective extractors circle radius? They each have a circle around them.

[@zeljkoklepac3180]

Hey all. A perfect starships for all yours outposts and your own ships collection - Unique Original creations of Starfield only starships for all players on planet. Have fun in adding them for yourself to yourself to your ships collection - IRON STAR 7 UC Legendery design is the latest perfect starship for outposts. Have fun and a nice gameplay day

[@ant0n5599]

Could you PLEASE make a video where you go into scanner and show where the outpost is on surface map - literally the only thing missing in this video, please please please

[@Beeblebum]

I am unsure what your request is? You want to see the spot I build my outpost?

[@Grymlock]

So how would you use outpost to turn a profit? Btw amazing video thank u

[@Beeblebum]

Once you have unlocked better buildings and fabricators, you can start making products that can get some good money. There are some products you can make like AID that weighs not much but gets some good money. I do hope vendors get rebalanced as money for selling is too low imo.

[@Grymlock]

@Beeblebum i agree especially ship selling with a registration fee of 84 percent

[@bigboomer3841]

Do we even need outposts? Ive got sooooo many resources im running out of room!! And i don't have any outposts....

[@Beeblebum]

You can store your resources in large containers… so you don’t need to keep it on your ship. And you don’t need to loot or manually mine hardly any basic resources anymore - which means more space for valuable loot.

[@lufasumafalu5069]

can i start doing outpost at lv5

[@ouchmaker93]

OK...landed where you did, ran 3 different directions and never found a biom border. All I found was, "boundary reached" and no 2nd biom close.

[@iongriffis2435]

For Adaptive Frames I always build an Industrial workbench near my Outpost beacon saves me time fast travelling and also if I have enough resources all of them in the Outpost and have them all in the Workshop on my ship + Infirmary! Why your telling people to fast travel back to the lodge to build t here is really beyond me. Otherwise good guide and some tips and tricks I never knew about especially the windows in habs, thanks!

[@leagueofteague]

Anyone else have their turrets missing? I built 3 for my first outpost but only 1 remains showing even though it still says I have 3/3.

[@brentpatterson5715]

My Solar panels say they produce 32 power but they are not powering my extractors :/ Help me Beeble Wan Kenobum you're my only hope.

[@brentpatterson5715]

Incase anyone else has this problem - I deleted the solar Panels and rebuilt them and it worked :)

[@Beeblebum]

Yeah, I saw you managed to fix it… there are definitely some minor bugs in Basebuilding… it is the only thing my game actually crashed.

[@MrWitchblade]

How to build in No Man's Field....... Nice.

[@xDaPrincex]

Not everybody play on PC, it would be good to list xbox controls too..

[@bloedekuh]

All of these shenanigans should have been put into a side quest by Bethesda. But instead, they "outsourced" everything to KZbinrs, just like how they make a half-finished game and let modders finish their job. I'm glad Bethesda is getting all the hate now because they deserve it.

[@SpazzyMcGee1337]

I'm not really understanding how it makes sense to automate the construction of manufactured goods. Would anyone ever really need so much of a single manufactured good that it's worth automating? Wouldn't that logic apply to most manufactured goods? I just don't see how it makes sense unless you're building so big that you have the manufacturer of all manufactured goods automated, which sounds crazy big.

[@iHateGenZweebs]

Hmm my solar arrays produce 6 and I'm low level af. No idea why. Maybe a companion bonus or something, but I just have the basic companions the story gives you. That's great cause I could use the same amount of solar panels and also get another 3 extractors for tantalum. Also what's the point of having Heller in your Outpost if his Outpost Engineering doesn't let you build more stuff? Does his skill even do anything lmao. Ah I found a Reddit post. It is useless. The companion skills aren't the same as your player ones.

[@Beeblebum]

Depending in the planet, your power sources can do better. The fact that your solar panels gave more, probably means you have more sun… not sure how that is calculated, could be location on the planet, distance to the sun… or the angle of the planet according to the sun. Some planets will give much more wind power as well..

[@anthonyduran5354]

This is ridiculous. I am having an extremely hard time finding aluminum and iron in the same spot. I am at the exact moon you are on too. Ship building and outpost building is stupid hard in this damn game.

[@MrDino1953]

Christ, it’s like russian dolls. Can someone please write all the steps required in the order in which they need to be done? This should include all the Skills, resources (and the quantities) needed to even begin the process.

[@metalisanord1257]

Never move your beacon.
