Starfield - Early Game Outpost

The first of my new Starfield series. In this video, I'm going to walk you through a functional and very aesthetic outpost that you can build in the early stages of the game.

Been watching since early fallout 4 days, happy to be building in another bethesda game with you ❤️

[@harleygroeneveld7197]

I used to watch him back in the FO4 days religiously. Haven't watched in years and with Starfield coming out I thought "I wonder if NoRespawns is still doing his thing". Glad I took a look,

Bruh…. The “FO4 days” felt like only yesterday 🫤

[@bigboibob2568]

@@Mr_Stranger9999I'm still watching his FO4 days even now. and building in FO4

[@tassey]

Good to see you again. Followed you on Fallout 4 and your building was what got me playing Fallout in the first place. Lost you at 76 because that was not my jam. Really looking forward to building again in Starfield.

[@fracturedsolace145]

I have been specifically waiting for your Starfield outpost guides. I cannot wait to see what you come up with.

[@SOFFtv]

And a new era of Norespawns begins!

[@themememan2738]

refreshing to see someone focusing on aesthetics rather than MOST OP OUTPOST UNLIMITED MONEY

[@Scaleeski]

I'll echo what a lot of other people said about following you since Fo4, but I also am stoked for your Starfield videos! I can't wait for the breakdown of how stuff snaps together and tips and tricks!

[@Himbro22]

Still finding myself a touch overwhelmed by all of the new game systems. But I'll touch ship and outpost building soon enough... surely. I am very much looking forward to your outpost builds! Starfield always felt like it would have interesting potential for making things feel immersive and thats always been a major thing for me. I've always been a fan of your builds due to your build style! So looking forward to it.

[@braveheart1985]

Lin is on my ship since the start and is always asking "Are we going to do some mining Dusty" and I just want to give her somewhere to call home. I really don't care about outposts and farming stuff or making money, and this video has inspired me to give Lin somewhere to be.

[@prod.drizly5801]

We are so fucking back. Glad you’re making Starfield content

[@echoplexism]

Been waiting for your base builds, always gets my inspiration going! Lovely build, as always! Keep it up! ❤

[@tylernewcomer6345]

I’ve seen lots of meta resource mining outpost guides, but an aesthetic build from you is what I’ve been waiting for

[@Dizzex95]

Another banger, can't wait to see the growth in designs. Oh man and shipbuilding too! Can't wait to see more!

[@Firftr145]

Subscribed. I'm loving your builds. These are exactly like what I've been looking for.

[@Gvmper]

Yess!!! I’ve been looking forward to watching your starfield series, I knew it was coming! Can’t wait to see the awesome builds. Been watching since fallout 4 but fell of on 76 not because of your content but because of the game, still popped in time to time tho. You got me into building with a purpose and making every settlement different!

[@Thomas-sr5mn]

YEAAAAAH !! So glad to see you again since all the fallout 4 builds I eat from you here ! Hope you'll have a ton of idea for Starfield

[@michaelperrys4588]

I’ve been waiting for this video. I’ve tried a base and it suuuuucked. This is just amazing. Also, your modular videos are always great. I still remember your red rocket and castle ones back in the fallout 4 days. Can’t wait to see your building journey this year.

[@fenderlove]

You really inspired me to have a naming scheme for my bases! I chose Shakespearean women. I've started building Titania and Viola so far. Thank you for your videos!

[@nelsonruger8430]

Amazing! Thank you so much - you totally inspired me to switch gears and finally really dig in to outposts.

[@gr1mm4ss]

Davey!! I still watch your Fallout4 vids, great to see you building in another Bethesda game. Im a Playstation user with a crappy PC so im screwed for this game, but youre playing for both of us! keep up the great work.

[@lukemeeds8767]

Stoked to see what you build in the future!

[@super_terram]

Ahhh man! So excited to see your stuff for Starfield!

[@spartacus987]

OOOOH, can't wait for these builds

[@joshuaford6520]

Been waiting patiently for your starfield outposts.

[@vincentkavanagh7458]

Takes me back to seeing the walls of Sanctuary all those years ago. Glad you're back Davey!

[@steveeymann6374]

Hes back!!!!! You taught me most of what i know about building in fallout.

[@Ethelle86]

Very excited to see the things you'll create in this game. Your Fallout 4 and F76 builds and tips have always been a joy and a great inspiration. Also totally agree on toilet stalls and shower stalls. Even just a module with everything included, like a sort of dressing room + showers and toilets like you might see at a gym, or barracks, tacked on to the living quarters. Or for more fancier builds where everyone has their own room, a sort of en-suite unit. I hope Bethesda gets on that.

[@RoboCatTrainer]

Hes back! 😃

[@domw3239]

I’ve been waiting for you to post about starfield!!!

[@TheDaveCalaz]

Yes mate! Been watching you since way back in Fallout 4. Never got into 76 so I'm happy to see you doing Starfield now too!

[@AshSlayn]

Nice I can’t wait for your first build video

[@eden2864]

So happy this popped up, have loved your videos for ages but I kinda fell out of love with fallout. Though now I'm remembering how good your builds are, I might have to go back and watch what I've missed. Looking forward to being able to support your channel again. 🎉

[@MossyCorvid]

Let’s gooo!

[@TheMousheen]

Your fallout 4 builds gave me loads of inspiration, looking forward to your Starfield builds

[@CMoDZ3D]

This game has ridiculous potential

[@dhatten87]

It's funny, I originally found your channel during FO4 due to not having a system on which to play the game and wanting a way to experience it vicariously. Here we are, some 7 years later, and I find myself in the exact same boat with Starfield. Looking forward to seeing how you bend and break this building system to your will!

[@DaFactMan]

I remember when you had like a couple thousand followers, crazy watching time fly by x

[@otherfanboy]

Can't wait to see what you create it always give me ideas for my own builds

[@connivingcrow1006]

Been awhile since i came to this channel looking forward to new starfield content

[@irishrose89775]

Thanks so very much for the hints! Your op is outstanding! I agree with others I am struggling with this aspect of the game but it providing hundreds of hours of enjoyment to come!

[@zaege8321]

Looks cool, Davey. I also had the idea of "clusters" around the habitat to make it look detailed but havent had the patience yet to really build. You nailed what i imagined. Awesome work! Also bad gaem, make sons of forest video.

[@SodoMojo22]

So glad to see you in Starfield. Nice little starter base.

[@pirwzy]

Considering how you did in FO4, these setups you come up with will be fantastic.

[@halloweye4613]

As a 76 builder I never realized how truly spoiled I have become. The build system is very reminiscent for me of early days of 76 as well. I am how super stoked to be able to junk build again!

[@dumbgames4933]

Woo! Glad to hear there'll be lots more :)

[@Pocketz85]

Great to finally be able to watch your vids for a game I am playing again. Fallout 76 wasn't for me, but I watched your Fallout 4 content religiously. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for Starfield. Cheers!

[@radst1010]

Been with you since fallout 4! Good to see you back! 👌

[@timclemensen4386]

Great tips!!!

[@Oooga-Chaka]

Can’t wait to finally play this tonight.

[@sleepydee1745]

you can gather every in-game miscellaneous item and drop them in your base, when you go into outpost mode you can pick them up and place them! it adds the details to the place

[@steinarvreimstad420]

Finally 😃 loved your FO4 vids

[@ThePoodleshark]

Looks great! Been waiting for someone to do some serious building. 1 tip I have so far, add a single hallway to the habs and you get a little room perfect for a bathroom storeroom or maybe bedroom.

[@norespawns]

ahhh that's actually a very good shout - im gonna do that

[@nbmoleminer5051]

👏👏👏👏👍 Looking forward to an eventual rustic Va'Ruun build.

[@rick_oshea]

Zero gravity gives a new meaning to "Selected item is floating"

[@Seidravn]

Lovely stuff as always. A skill point spent in Botany will open up your hydroponics, if I'm not mistaken.

[@norespawns]

I've got botany but wondering if I need to also level it a bit more- I'll figure it out soon

[@Seidravn]

I suspect that I mistook the plant harvesting boons from the skill as including horticultural facilities. My bad.

[@Seidravn]

@@norespawns Apparently you need Outpost Engineering 1 as well as Botany 1 in order to research Horticulture 1.

[@Commissioner_Gorgon_11]

Excited to see your builds for Starfield, especially once mods really get going. For hydroponics and animal husbandry, I think the location has to be capable of supporting life.

[@arbitrary_thoughts]

Looking forward to seeing what creative ways we can design outposts :D

[@EntiretyPC]

I’ve been loving using misc items to decorate in my outpost, I’ve been finding some amazing things and I love the idea of taking things home from your adventures and having them on display. It just adds sooo much more to each space, especially things like notebooks & pens etc. not sure if you’ve tried it or not but you can just drop the item and move it around when you’re in the build menu :) I always look forward to seeing what you come up with when you make bases, it always helps me get more creative when building my own. loved this a lot :)

[@norespawns]

ive been tempted to do that - but im a bit concerned re-NPCs knocking everything flying lol - so I might hold off until we get official modding tools, then my plan is to make a static decoration pack

[@EntiretyPC]

@@norespawns so far I haven’t experienced npcs knocking things over but when you load back in to your outpost, the items sink a bit :( excited to see what you come up with ☺️

[@locusofintent]

A big part of the reason that I was looking forward to Starfield was so you could make builds for it!

[@baddayguygaming]

Choosing a planet with plants and animals as your first outpost makes it a bit easier. Many plants and animals give structural material and fiber for decorations/furniture while animals provide decorative materials and things like adhesives, lubricants and cosmetics. Combine that with the mineral resources and you have 90% of everything you need.

[@OniZai]

Putting stuff on top of HABs.. that's one thing I would be copying. Getting to outpost engineering is a journey in itself.

[@ColbyJacked]

Hydroponics requires having a scanned flora that has a tag saying something along the lines of "Outpost harvestable" on that planet

[@n8ball058]

YEEEEAHHHHHH buddy!!!

[@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox]

Something I feel was a missed opportunity is the ability to build colonies for NPCs to live, work, and do business in. There are settlers in the cities who openly fantasize about being able to leave the city and settle amongst the stars. You're tellin' me we can't build a place for them to do just that? We were able to in Fallout 4 and they even gave us a reason why a settlement system would work in Starfield as well, but they chose not to? Either there's a DLC comin' or they really just wasted the chance.

[@Han_Shot_1st]

My biggest issue in building atm is x3 fold. 1: No singular mass storage for resources, & current containers being capped as 99 resources per. 2: The rails on the stairs, I hate that they just disappear into the ground rather than get edited away by the program (when going into ground as they do). 2b: No airlock without stairs. 3: likely the biggest issue, you don't have foundation type tiles to pave out an area. Looking forward to more vids dude. Been a fan of your building vids a while now. Similar to yourself dude, I like r.p builds. They need to make sense, look lived in. Be practical; and conform to actual physics lol.

[@DarthXionGames]

Heeeees Back!

[@turnesj7]

Been playing all early access and waited until you posted about outposts to get into them

[@cory1187]

So happy to see more building during the prime of a Bethesda game like fallout 4. I’m definitely gonna try a make a place like this one on Mars, might need to restart as a homesteader

[@eternalmiasma5586]

Once the mods bring us more buildings like domes and the ability to add windows to the prefabs it’s gonna be amazing, and of course place anywhere. Plus I’d love some more traditional house options for planets with atmospheres like you find in akila city.

[@MillsBuilds]

I know on the green military style habs if you look at the walls you can change them to have windows, there was 3 different window options if I remember right. I uploaded a video using them and I put windows on them.

[@ursula662]

Busy scanning out the system with the families LIST sent to colonise, going to be making an outpost to "monitor" the settlers and occasionally pop some of the pirates and spacers that visit unnanounced.

[@nidaren]

Hey! Great video! Currently Hydroponics and Animal Husbandry facilities are only available at planets that have fauna and flora.

[@norespawns]

ahh kinda figured that was the case - noted

[@Citan005]

We back, baby!

[@JUStCALLMEZIMM]

Yes!! Also Ship builds??

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

Definitely no spanking off privacy in the living space haha

[@mig_zvm]

I hope the DLC adds a space station builder and the ability to space walk 😢

[@DruncanUK]

What we really need is a Fallout building pack, complete with scrap walls and junked equipment etc. Btw, I don't understand why you don't use all the junk laying around other sites to decorate your outpost. You can drop it all on the floor and then pick it up and place it where you like, just as in Fallout 4.

[@norespawns]

it would take ages, plus all it takes is one npc to walk into it and everything goes everywhere - better to wait until we can make it static in mods

[@scuzzy2142]

Was hoping you where going to do base building for starfield.

[@EtherealHusk]

Hi I loved your FO contents and look forward to many Starfield videos as you carry your quality across to another game. Question if you don't mind. How did you manage to have different level of building so close to each other? Mine keep snapping together to the same height. I just can't make it. Also how did you place the crate so close to the end of the bed? I have huge gap and really looks out of place. btw this is such a nice little outpost.

[@norespawns]

next video I'll go through it - it will be a building guide

[@Cox__7]

I miss this shit ❤

[@christianhoej]

Great stuff! Could you show how to elevate the buildings when placing them with a controller? Like literally which button(s)? I spent way too long the other day unsuccesfully trying to figure out how to do that, and I can't find anywhere online where the input is mentioned.

[@norespawns]

that's just using the right control stick up and down - you place the building, and then it gives you the option to raise/lower it before final confirmation

[@christianhoej]

@@norespawns Oh wauw, I would never have figured that out, thank you!

[@potemadunne1350]

been picking up every gods damned pencil i can find

[@otherfanboy]

I wanna see you build on none flat space

[@cameronlee3895]

Are you going to also do ship building as well or are you going to stick to base building

[@daganael]

how do you define the height of you buildings ? I play on PC and haven't found a way to set that yet... thanks

[@norespawns]

when you place a building it should then give you the height option - it's hard to see when you're in the arial view, so id recommend trying to do it in first person

[@Drzoom299]

How do you build high like that? how did you build the tower?? you never mentioned that.

[@stevensmithjr3803]

@Norespawns what planet is this? In the video

[@eden2864]

This game has base building?!?!? Do I need to get this now? Possibly...

[@scottplank1012]

This may be a stupid question, but how do you actually use the ship landing area? Can you change where your ship lands?

[@mathiaschristensen1194]

Build a landing pad.

[@elizabethflynn6626]

i really wish the system was as flushed out as FO4

[@otherfanboy]

Hydroponics requires a planet with plants

[@PlasmaScream69]

How did you place your habs so close without them snapping?

[@norespawns]

place down the airlock and snap the hab onto it - allows you place things a little closer together

[@lightspeedvictory]

Ship tour plz

[@HazyChestNutz]

now show us your late game outpost

[@prismdrone3475]

Can you put a base on earth?

[@norespawns]

yeah, but earth is a desert - though I might do some exploring there

[@Luckykohl_gaming]

Is this mars?

[@norespawns]

yup!

[@radconx]

"Knickknacks... When modding takes off we can fill the void with that"... I'm confused by this statement, you can drop anything from your inventory and position those in build mode, better than you could in Fallout 4. I've already got a table full of all the unique aid dishes in the game. What's the void modding is supposedly going to fill?

[@norespawns]

far quicker, they'll actually be static objects that won't be sent flying when an npc knocks into them - plus we can potentially make pre-decorated furniture, such as packed shelves that you just place down

[@radconx]

@@norespawns ah yeah. Stuff like that was good in fallout 4. Though I only used it infrequently. More experimentation in this the placement can be a little weird. I placed a whole bunch of food on a table and if you move the table it just floats. Better than it was in fallout 4 but still, I'm hoping we get further quality of life changes to outposts. Console mods wouldn't fix the limitations unfortunately, and it seems like they've removed this like selecting mulitolle items at once to avoid any rug/pillar glitch type stuff. Still disappointing but I'm getting more into the outposts a few days in. Though oddly I've placed mine about a mile away from New Atlantis so I have a great view on the horizon.

[@ThePsiKoGamer]

Seriously I'm starting to wonder if everyone I watch on KZbin is British or if they just don't know how to pronounce Aluminum 😅 I swear everyone on KZbin pronounces it incorrectly like you. It's uh-loo-muh-nuhm. Or Ah-Loo-Ma-Nim. However British English may in fact be different can't say for sure. Try asking Google how to pronounce it...

[@norespawns]

Britsh English, also refered to as 'English' the language from that country that I forget the name of

[@elijohnson9360]

Do you tell people who use meters and grams that they are measuring things wrong as well?
