Indigo Ridge - Starfield Player Home Outpost Base Build in the Tropical Forest of Schrodinger VIII-a

[@WizeOldWizard]

Those of you having difficulty with the speed of item rotation in the outpost builder, Bethesda built-in sensitivity settings for that. I play on PC but I use a controller, and even on controller I had to turn down the sensitivity to achieve the accuracy that I needed. Check your settings!

[@jamesgunn8544]

I was wondering why it was so hard to turn items slowly, so frustrating.

[@BayouCityAstronomy]

I have over 750 hours in Starfield, and counting, and I have never once made a livable outpost. Your video has inspired me and I can't wait to start one!

[@WizeOldWizard]

I was in exactly the same spot and suddenly it hit me, this was, so far, the most time that I’ve spent in a Bethesda game with no place to call home. I’m very happy to have inspired you, thanks for watching!

sane just happens to me. Wizard turning an old combatproof Bountyhunter/Merc into a peaceful settler running industrial outposts and shit.. unbelievable, what is happening here 😅

[@drshoots101]

I agree we need more outpost stuff Doors, showers, maybe even stalls or more types of wall dividers. And the outside porches and patios always maybe smaller lighting would be great. Lol I want a dang pool and lawn chairs and to beable to slap a dang water hose on the side of the building. I don't care if the planet is inhabitable I will install a pool on a moon if I want too!

[@oldguygames6861]

For bathrooms, use a hallway piece and a couple of partitions. There are a few things you can use to simulate bath room stuff if you don't use MODs. I have a feeling the DLCs will add a bunch more to the outposts (I hope)

[@WizeOldWizard]

Tried it, didn’t like it. I want a bathROOM not a fuckin stall lol. I’ll build a fancy shitter once we get doors and showers, or mods add them, whichever comes first.

This was ... for lack of better words ... phenomenal. You did things that I never would have considered. I saved this, so I can watch it again, and again, for inspiration. Thank you. Edit: And to be clear, when I say "for lack of better words" - it's because I don't feel that phenomenal captures how inspired this was, I just don't have the words for it.

[@raphael2407]

That's a really nice flat you got there, pretty sure my lovely Andreja would like this place. I keep it in mind for our future homebase. Get her away from all this dark Varuun stuff and drive that damn snake out of her head... 😁 Hint: for tons of decorative "Misc" items to get you started, go to Serpentis and capture some Revelations. Register them, then switch back to your cargo ship and sell the Revelations. You make a lot of credits easy by selling all the loot and you get tons of small decorative items from pens, bowls, flowerpots... and weapons, don't forget the weapons. That's my main source of income btw, capture Revelations and Prophecys in Serpentis, register and sell them until my cargo hauler is full, then go to the Den and sell everything. I am drowning in food/drink items and ammunition that I never need to buy or loot, make a lot of credits and get a lot of XP on top of it. 🙂

[@WizeOldWizard]

That’s funny, I built this while Andreja reached max affinity with me, so it was built as our home as well! RIP. I have gathered an absurd amount of misc items from all of the ground exploration I have done, and from The Scow, and it’s all just sitting in piles in the gallery waiting to be placed. We’ll see if I ever get around to it. I make my credits selling Vytinium and Vytinium fuel rods. Boarding is fun, but I much prefer to blast ships as quickly as I can to farm their XP. Serpentis is absolutely great for that, and it makes me want to build a small militaristic type base somewhere in Serpentis just so I can jump right into orbit and into a space fight.

Excited for this since the tease in the last video, Wizard! Beautiful location with the rings gas giant. Props for the effort involved in the video production. The detail is amazing.

[@RHButler22]

I learned when doing my own base that there is a bug with the rank 2 turret I believe. You can land and then the turrets will start shooting your own crew. So Lin and Heller were being pinned by their own defenses. Once I placed a rank 3 turret that went away. Something to note. Otherwise, looks great! I love the shooting range idea. Consider that stolen. Also, I sense another ship build in the future from what I saw on the landing pad. 😁

[@WizeOldWizard]

Your spidey senses serve you well! Aegis is coming soon…

[@Ozzymandios]

Hey WoW- The best idea Ive seen for Bathrooms are similar to your shooting range use a hallway to create a nook. Im thinking maybe an airlock by itself could create an outhouse😂. Thx 4 tips on which habs to stack on top one another 🎉

[@WizeOldWizard]

I considered a hallway nook, but with no door it just doesn’t feel right or realistic. We need interior doors! What happens when Lin blows it up and the smell wafts into the war room while I’m planning the next raid? Lol thanks for watching!

[@larryiaquinta57]

I totally agree we need interior doors and more bathroom fixtures, but I got an idea from your target practice range, using the cubby hole and some well placed partitions for privacy to work as a bathroom.

[@WizeOldWizard]

You’re right, that’s an absolutely viable solution and likely the only logical one, currently. I’m just too bothered by the fact that you can’t put an actual door in to separate it. Thanks for watching!

[@WizeOldWizard]

Well thank you kindly! That large hex hab has a LOT of room for activities, so it seemed like a fitting use for it. That idea gave me the idea for the Aegis, as it was inspired by the crafts that they operate in the movies. Thank you for watching!

[@Baron_Doom]

Just started Outpost building, and this gives me some great ideas. I had already built and furnished several before watching this, but my next NG+ will definitely include some of these designs. I tried to furnish the outposts with miscellaneous objects, but they kept sinking into the furniture, so I gave up on that. Very dissapointing.

[@WizeOldWizard]

I’m not much of a decorator myself, so currently the floor of my gallery room is littered with hundreds of misc items and books just waiting to be placed whenever I have the urge to try tackling that. If you drop an item and then enter the builder, then select the item and place it that way, that will prevent the sinking. Thanks for watching and I’m very glad I could inspire you!

[@Baron_Doom]

@@WizeOldWizard I used the builder to place the items, and they still sank into the tables and shelves and cabinets I had placed them on. It might be Xbox, I don't know.

[@WizeOldWizard]

@Baron_Doom no shit! I’ve heard from several sources that placing using the builder would prevent that. It’s absolutely possible that it is the xbox version causing it, as I believe the issue is the same as it was from Fallout 4, where the game would load the items before the furniture or structures. More limiting hardware made this issue worse. I’m guessing because xbox hardware is more limited, your structures and furniture are being loaded significantly later than the items compared to someone running on a strong PC. I will be making a decorating video using Indigo Ridge, and when I do I’ll do my best to report on this issue.

[@danceswithowls4000]

Ok what can you not do? Hell they made this game for you!!!! I have been dabbling in base building but never completed any of them I was close before I lost all my saves. I will be working on my bases more now. Thanks man good vid!!!!!

[@WizeOldWizard]

Dude this build took hours of in-game time experimenting and using trial-and-error to learn what works and what doesn’t. I’d say this was the third version of it, the first being entirely different and just too large. On top of that time spent, cutting the hours of footage down to something sensible and palatable was a job by itself. I very much appreciate the kind words, as always! These builds are really a result of a significant amount of time. I try and fail until it works, and then I film it. Thank you, again, for watching, AGAIN, and offering up your feedback AND leaving a comment. AGAIN! Your support is greatly appreciated. When are you publishing your next ship?

Great video! Outpost building is one of my favorite features of this game and I hope that Bethesda gives us additional items to use in coming updates!

I’m hoping they also give us more freedom with hab shapes, internal stairs and multi-story structures built more like Fallout 4 style. The cargo links can be very frustrating, but other than that the builder is pretty great. Thanks for watching!

Awesome outpost Wizard! I can never seem to get my own builds to look realistic enough. I love the multi story layout of yours especially all the viewing areas. Great job

[@WizeOldWizard]

Thank you sir! I definitely had to emphasize the views at this location, it’s just a gorgeous spot. Multi-story is definitely tough the way things are built. Took a lot of trial and error. I also don’t understand why some habs easily stack and others simply refuse to.

[@Shadowband72]

I tried messing around with the base building a little bit . I'm not a fan of limitations , so I guess I'll have to wait for the CK and the mod community to expand on what you can build . There already are mods that supposedly do that but they're far too complicated to install at this point . I have my mod selection simplified to the point where the only thing I need to update are 2 mods . Mods that have a bunch of extra requirements and steps in order to make them work . Just end up being broken mods every 6 weeks .

[@WizeOldWizard]

I agree completely with your frustration with the limitations. Things like stacking the habs should be straight-forward and simple. Other than that though, it’s really easy to snap these things together and build some interesting shapes and spaces. But if you can’t get around that you can get free player hones from certain quests. That’s your best bet if you want a home in game but you don’t want to build it.

[@gregwiggins6990]

Very nice. Well thought out. Try using rugs and mats for your walk ways and patios.

[@gregwiggins6990]

Not as nice as yours, but I did a beach outpost on the same planet as Paradiso. I put landing pad and habs in the water. Fantastic views in the hydroponic habs. I think I will change my control room to the big hex hab like you did. Thanks for the idea.

[@WizeOldWizard]

That’s an awesome planet for a home base for sure, also a great idea to build over the water. If we had proper outdoor walkway structures they would be perfect for that, rugs just don’t cut it. I’m hoping for something that can snap to the airlock so we can have more control over how those are connected. One can hope, at least. Thanks for watching!

[@DJ_Bonebraker]

Awesome build! I am planning on building an outpost on Schrodinger VIII-a in a similar environment. I also agree with you on your rant about the relative lack of build items, like being able to build more ordinary houses on planets that have breathable atmospheres (I want to build my own mini Akila City or New Atlantis), ESPECIALLY the lack of interior doors for habs & bathroom stalls/showers. I sorta got around the issue by using the office cubicle partitions to create semi-private bathroom areas in the corners of the bedrooms in my outpost housing modules, but it's far from perfect or ideal (You can see what I did in my build video for my Amaurot outpost on Eridani II). One thing I'm hoping for is some modder to come up with something like the Snappy Housekit mod that adds most of the vanilla build assets as outpost modules/tiles, and when some decent outpost building mods do eventually come out, I am so going to be going back to doing what I do in my modded Fallout 4 game & use console commands for precise placement of objects: That alone reduced the time it takes me to build settlements in Fallout 4 by almost half.

[@WizeOldWizard]

I love this moon! When I found this spot I quickly fell in love with it. The views here are incredible and the overall look of it is fairly earth-like, which offers a nice familiarity that is rare in the settled systems. Whether through mods or DLC, I can’t wait for improvements in the outpost and ship builders, as well as additional modules for both. Thanks for watching!

[@davewills6121]

Its such a shame this game is dead to most of its initial EA players, the Ship Building/Base Building is second to none, and i had some really enjoyable, immersive moments. I play some Star Citizen on and off, yet understandably the two games are leagues apart, yet Star Citizen will never have Modding/Ship Building, base building is still a couple of years away, but it will never eclipse Starfield's BB, which with the inclusion of modding, will only see it improve. You do great work dude.

[@WizeOldWizard]

Agreed, but it’s not going anywhere and players will return when new content is added. Regardless, I’m having fun and the ship builder is a very gratifying way for me to express my creativity and then be able to use and enjoy what I’ve created.

For bathrooms I use 2 hallways like you did with the shooting range. I will then add shelves or partitions to make a door/entry

Yeah, I think this is about the only option right now, but I HATE that there is no door. It’s called a bathROOM, not a bathNOOK.

Awesome video, wizard. It was inspiring to see a build as nice/magical as this, I’ll admit I tend to build way to square and cube like with little ability to make my bases look this good. My advice to you on unity, create a new game save and use that save for unity jumps, that way you don’t throw away/lose all those hours of game play and you won’t lose the works of art you’ve created in this play through. Sure you’ve got it on video, but there’s something to say for having the ability to jump back into your “main” play through and reference your own stuff. Anyways, thanks for this fantastic base build, looking forward to more amazing wizard videos, be it base builds or ship builds. Cheers

[@WizeOldWizard]

Very much appreciate your kind feedback! As far as Unity goes, I will definitely be preserving my original universe before I jump. No reason to throw away all those hours!

My man! You have as much creativity as you allow yourself to have. This outpost required multiple rebuilds over several days before I was happy with the result. The video was an absolute nightmare to edit because many of my clips involved building, removing, trying something else, liking that result less, and then rebuilding what I had before. Several of my initial ideas had to be thrown out the window due to builder limitations or build limit. Find a good spot, get all your building materials, and just start fucking up until you find something you like!

[@fredshannon8110]

WOW, Impressive this makes mine on Bessel III-b look like a shack in the desert. What are your thoughts on Mine Fields? Because most mineral extractors are on the outer edge of your outpost. So building walls isn't going to work if at all.

[@WizeOldWizard]

I’m not worried about completely walling it off, just the areas that NPC’s could easily traverse. The position of the lead vein was honestly an afterthought, I had no intent to extract anything at my home base but it is a nice bonus so I threw them down there. I have several outposts extracting resources elsewhere, and wouldn’t want to spend much time building a home at those because they are loud and ugly haha.

Only question i have... what was that ship coming and going close to your outpost (looks like a transport ship)

[@WizeOldWizard]

The yellow ship that you saw in action is for the cargo link. The other pad that wasn’t functioning yet is going to bring Vytinium Fuel Rods to Indigo Ridge. Since all of my resource outposts are in different systems, both of those links require He3 to function. The functioning pad is bringing the Helium. Thank you for watching, and I’m happy that my build inspired you!

[@RsaRhinos]

@WizeOldWizard brilliant. Thanks for explaining. I thought it looked pretty neat having your own transport crew doing all the grunt work. I have also got your vytinium mine up and running. So will look at doing the same on this outpost build that you've inspired

[@WizeOldWizard]

Very nice! In that case, be on the look out for the Automated Vytinium Fuel Rod production guide. I THINK I’ve found a way to do it with only 6 outposts, which makes it possible to then send the finished product to your home base.

I like it nice! I managed to locate a long costal area across the water way from Eren's Camp, "Andreja Quest" on Hyla II, I first tried flying across from the camp but with Starfield's idiotic and clumsy mapping system I could never land in the right area so I then tried swimming the long swim across the body of water but the water was just to corrosive thus I kept dying, so... I just pulled up the console and put myself into god mode and made the swim, removing the cheat once reaching the other side, I'm sure if someone had the patience and better pinpointing then I, they could land there. very few palm trees if any at all, mostly flat grass land with beach front property as far as the eye can see, resources, Aluminum, Beryllium, Fluorine and water. I've found that by building in a heavy tree or rock area they tend to glitch through the walls at some points when leaving and returning to the outpost, so I try to find areas that are flat as possible with low tree count.

[@WizeOldWizard]

I saw that they are addressing the issue of bulldozed objects re-appearing through built structures, so that shouldn’t be an issue for much longer, hopefully. Thanks for watching!

[@steveeymann6374]

I really appreciate you making these videos. I even tried using this as a template on a similar hilltop as you found in the same area. Unfortunately the building controls on xbox make it virtually impossible to recreate anything you did or use precise placement of any kind. I never even got past trying to match up the airlock with the landing pad. We really need a place anywhere mod like we had in fallout 4. Trying to build in this game with an xbox controller is no less than infuriating. The best I can do at this point is some spread out buildings. The build is amazing and I was hoping to do something similar but there is zero chance with the controls I currently have. If you've got any modder friends, I'd ask that they come up with something that negates the clipping restrictions and improves snapping.

[@WizeOldWizard]

Thank you very much! Just so you know, while I do play on PC, I use an Xbox controller. There is nothing different about anything I’m doing in the video that you can’t do on consoles. No mods were used, no glitch/clip techniques, it’s all within the vanilla building mechanics. I think what you might be struggling with is rotation speed, and there is a setting for that in the game menu. I turned mine down quite a lot to achieve more precise control. Thanks for watching!

There are rotation sensitivity settings for the outpost builder. Even on controller I had to turn them down. Should help dramatically!

@@WizeOldWizard Thank you, Sir!

[@themis828]

How is your outpost footprint so large? I have all the skills maxed out and mine is still considerably smaller than yours

[@WizeOldWizard]

Really? I’ve never noticed a change… Are you building right next to landing pads or points of interest? Those will cut off your zone and make areas “restricted”.

[@Phaolan]

What ship was that you took off in at the end?

[@WizeOldWizard]

That’s the Aegis, my next build!

[@jkleczewski]

I need to redo some of this, I do not get the nice windows that you have in the reactor building...

[@WizeOldWizard]

Those high corner windows come on the military hab, and if you want the wall window, just select the wall and toggle the variant, it will give you that window.

[@jkleczewski]

@@WizeOldWizard Thanks I did not know I could select the wall and change it!

[@ricklowery9369]

where do you get the starship models from?

[@WizeOldWizard]

They are in the decorations tab!

[@lioraja9951]

my biggest base is just a pill of containers probably higher than tallest building in the game

[@WizeOldWizard]

Lol how many do you have stacked up?

Starfield 2???

This is a beautiful planet if you can get past the bad radiation days and the annoying scorpions. 😂

[@WizeOldWizard]

Yeah the solar radiation is no joke, but it is breathable. The scorpions don’t bother me up on my hill so no big deal! Even if they did, it’s just extra XP. Thanks for watching!

Can I use it as an Airbnb? I'll bring my own travel pee bags..

[@WizeOldWizard]

For a reasonable fee of 69,420 credits per night, I’ll include access to my ship’s lavatory for your use!

[@jefffogg8730]

@WizeOldWizard your work is incredible. I'd pony up twice that. Thanks Wiz. I'm entertained.. inspired even..

[@jefffogg8730]

@@WizeOldWizard i wasn't lost on 69420 either... I can't sign my name to the bnb contract if sheets and ashtrays aren't reinforced from day one..

[@WizeOldWizard]

@jefffogg8730 providing inspiration is my primary intent. Thank you!

[@WizeOldWizard]

Hahaha those are in ample supply, though you’ll have to provide your own companion!

I’ve done 8 playthroughs and each time I’d built a base I experienced major bugs, like trees and rocks respawning through the structures, not being able to use the work stations etc. I finally decided to uninstall the game as it became extremely frustrating. Such a shame, I was really looking forward to building when it was released.☹️

[@WizeOldWizard]

Yes, there are issues, but the reappearing bulldozed objects bug has been patched, and the ‘can’t use (item) because it’s obstructed’ is an easy one to get around. Just gotta quicksave and load that save and it goes away.

[@DovahGirL]

@@WizeOldWizard Unfortunately quick saving and reloading doesn’t work for me. I have found a workaround which worked for me though, deleting and building it at a different spot solved the issue for a temporarily but even that was a bit much for me. The amount of bugs took all the fun out for me. I’ll wait until the major issues have been addressed.😔

[@WizeOldWizard]

@DovahGirL sensible, it will reach a better state with time. Plus there will hopefully be more content when you come back. I play on PC and I know console players and GamePass users are experiencing wildly different issues, and more of them, than PC players. I hope you’ll stick around for more content either way. Thanks for watching and for your engagement!

[@JohnNorse]

Dont put weapons in outposts,some of the time they just dissapear, just saying.

[@WizeOldWizard]

It hasn’t happened to me, thankfully. Plus they look so cool and add a bit of life. I love the animated outpost objects.

[@marlonlacert8133]

Can you name your base, CAT?

[@WizeOldWizard]

As in the animal or is that an acronym?

[@marlonlacert8133]

@@WizeOldWizard Matters not. 😎 Just take: 'Star system + Cat'... Leaving you to wonder if base is still there, or only there if you looking.

[@WizeOldWizard]

Oh you’re talking about some quantum physics stuff eh? C stands for Chaos right?

Oh yeah haha duh, why was that not immediately obvious to me? It was right there! I guess the cat had my tongue.

[@violentmeditation7456]

I like this however I’m a huge fan of symmetry, actually it basically it’s a form of OCD in my case. It keeps me up at night if certain things are asymmetrical. Lol I do like the spot you picked tho on the hill! Also I hate that there’s no entryways into outpost/habs other than airlocks! This plant/moon like many others in game are living planets so there’d be no need for an airlock! It’s really annoying!

[@WizeOldWizard]

I like symmetry, but in the case of a static object like a building, I actually prefer asymmetry. I think it leads to a more unique and interesting shape. For things that are dynamic and meant to move, symmetry is nice because you often see those things in motion and naturally from different angles. I share your opinion with the airlocks. There should absolutely be an option for non-airlock entries when the atmosphere is breathable. We need that and interior doors so badly! Thanks for watching!
