Best breakdown video I've seen in a long time. Nice digging into systems and thank you thank you thank you for your strategic and appropriate use of video and stills. Too many commenters just loop the trailer. I'm subscribing for the attention to detail alone! Thanks for the breakdown. Looking forward to more.

[@NiftyMittsTV]

Much appreciated, more to come

[@jay.p3g]

For me personally, having 30 outpost is beyond well enough for me. In fallout 4 I really enjoyed the settlement systems and only made about 3-4 dense settlements including all the dlc(which should've been free). excited non the less for an upgrade to the settlement system

[@T0asty-]

Why would far harbor, nuka world, and automaton be free when people pay $20 for a purple gun skin in call of duty?

[@jay.p3g]

Lmao cuz purple gun with slight sheen his worth it. Haha I was talking about the dlc’s regarding workshop which should have been a free update to the settlement system

[@pylotlight]

I reckon it's 30 per planet.

[@Valhura77]

I had a massive water purification empire in FO4. Made it so I could afford anything. I love those aspects of the game, was a bit clunky so hopefully they refined it for Starfield

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

I was similar in developing settlements. Sanctuary, Starlight Drive-in, The Castle were the three I focused on. Beyond that it was just the basics: beds, food, water, MG turrets.

[@kevinthepaladin235]

I'm so happy we have a top down building creator. It makes it so easier and enjoyable. I am going to look for a planet with a terrain similar to North America for my outpost.

[@KevinAlibert]

I spent 90% of my time in fallout 4 crafting settlements so this is the one game mechanic I'm hoping to dive into the most. We broke fallout 4 with so many discoveries and glitches, I can't wait to see what we can do in Starfield! what makes it the most exiting for me is that you can choose where to build so you have a place you like the view from, build there so you can come back and enjoy the scenery! I'm also hoping that we will have a bit more automation than in FO4 as I would love to come back and have stuff crafted for me like advanced component such as sealant or research projects. maybe an auto-loot of potential assault on the base

[@ForgeTecGaming]

precise to the point and no fluff best video of this type I've seen👍

[@matthew-005]

Do you know we get 30 outposts or is that based off the scanner prompt as it could be it costs 30 of some resource materials or maybe influence.

[@printedprops8730]

Note the weapon mod list has a scroll bar to the left, so there are more mods than what is shown.

[@mygetawayart]

all the systems i've seen in Starfield seem to be very intuitive and fun to use. From the character creation, where you have traits and classes fully explaining what they're all about, to the skill trees that are easy to navigate and to skill up, the weapon upgrading system and the outpost and ship building mechanics, which all seem to be pretty straightforward. We know there's also a persuasion system like that of Oblivion and we've seen the upgraded lockpicking mechanic. One of the reasons why Skyrim was so successful is that it was much more user friendly and less cluttered than its predecessors at the cost of stripping away many RPG elements. I'm glad to see that they maintained that philosophy of accessibility whilst also reintroducing many of the RPG elements that were removed with Skyrim and FO4.

[@kylegreen6545]

Good video. Keep up the good work

[@lewislovelord8977]

This should be so much more organic than the sterility of NMS settlements, not knocking that title, it's brilliant for what it is, but most of us would like to see settlers going about their business in a settlement.

[@Rays_K]

The building mechanic for Starfield looks a bit similar to the way you build in Subnautica. It simple and easy to build but I hope there will be a complex way of building an outpost like in Fallout 4. Perhaps decorating the interior will be complex?

[@MICROKNIGHT3000]

Just follow no man sky

[@MICROKNIGHT3000]

Fun fact you can use real 3d modeling software to make no man sky bases and legitimately import that work onto the multiplayer world, its allowed and unrestrained

[@TheZorch]

@@MICROKNIGHT3000 Oh, yeah, this definitely looks a lot like No Man's Sky base building mechanics.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Well, it might be a response to how Fallout 4 did it. Because every single piece you placed had to be loaded separately, and the collision and stuff wouldn't always load in before your decorative items, resulting in things falling to the ground. So for performance and stability it makes sense to have giant pre-fabs that can be scripted to be the first things to load, collision and all, before any interior additions.

[@sneezyfido]

FO4 felt like it took too much effort to align every piece by hand, and then having to re-make huge sections over one part snapping to the point next to the one you intended (hope that makes sense). I loved settlements but never got beyond 2 over the sheer amount of time it took to get it right, combined with feeling that I needed to give my people defenses.. which was a mess in itself

[@raulyjimenez9167]

Nice analysist of the outpost/crafting system. I am subbing for more of these. Have a nice day.

[@lokerdosee5833]

Will be there vehicles in starfield ? I showed down the gameplay looking for any signs of them like garages skills like fast driving or even tools but i only found that doors in some space ships are wider than some that could be indicator and there is the tires tracks on landing gear and the third one is art scene In my opinion i don't think there will be vehicles in game and this could effect it in huge way i mean imagine sci fi game with no vehicles I wanna know your opinion on this it would be nice if you did a vedio on it

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

Im pretty sure there will be a vehicle you can use to travel the terrain of the planet

[@dietrichhempelmann5073]

If it is like in FO4, the "(30)" is the number of outposts you can build with the current materials you have. It is not a limit how much you can build at all. Just get some more junk/material and you can build more then those 30.

[@rowan7149]

In FO4, you can’t build Outposts though. There will be some sort of limit to the number of outposts you can have.

[@conradsutton]

Resource gathering, base building, wealth building (yeah, I'm on of THOSE people) has drawn me into this game as much as it's other features. I love games with immersive base building and crafting systems, as evidenced by my two current favorites: Fallout 4 and 7DTD. Also, I need some combat in the game to balance the tedium of grinding resources, so this seems perfect.

[@inquisitrYT]

When fallout 4 first came out i ended up spending a month just building up sanctuary; thats the kind of hype i feel for this building system

[@BionicFreakOfficial]

Where did you get this footage from?

[@the_abumuailek]

At 5:00 you could see the word "Armor" behind the lab equipment. So my guess is that, with the textile machine the crew member was working on, could be an armor crafting station

[@xtraflo]

As long as the Mod community gets access then I'm fine with whatever the outcome is - Looking great so far!

[@beaudamien]

Are the characters gonna be able to remove their helmet or suit and craft different armor and weapons or no? If not then it’ll be really stupid to build on a planet that has earth like livable conditions and can’t be able remove your armor.

[@Tenmo8life]

Tegridy Farms

[@Hidinginthetreeline]

I’m vary interested in the idea of having a outpost/settlement that actually produces resources. Like it would in real live. Commerce is what’s going to drive exploration into space.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

I remember some of the mods for Fallout 4 did that. They took the idea of the Scavenging Bench that was already in the game(though the vanilla one was a huge disappointment since it stopped working once you had 20 units in there, which includes what you'd get as Wood from scrapping a single tree) and ran with it, making new stations where Settlers would generate a specific resource for you.

[@Hidinginthetreeline]

@@XoRandomGuyoX Yea but these outpost if I’m not wrong look like they are going to mine resources and develop technology for you depending how how you build and staff them. If that’s the case then I’m going to spend about a thousand hours playing with the base building if not more.

[@geom3tronicslife635]

Great detailed video! You deserve more subs. Keep them coming! You got me hyped of this game and I’m not really a space fan…

[@OneTwoMark]

I hope the structures u can build aren't just "space hab/dome" type things. If the atmosphere is breathable, I want normal buildings you could build that don't need to be air tight.

[@corrupt1user]

My only fear is that the settlements will be under constant attack and you, the player, will have to travel to them to protect them from a group of moonroaches, only for another outpost to need your help rescuing some idiot who left the giant pile of walls and defenses to get kidnapped by 2 emaciated pirates and their junkbot.

[@krazium1776]

awesome video

[@its-butters58]

Isnt there no multi-player

[@zilsys]

It would be cool if instead of endless alerts we get a outpost summary when we come to check up on them. I mean Fallout 4 players understand this well.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Bethesda should make ALL radiant quests 'opt in'. There shouldn't be infinite emergency alerts broadcasts in waves of 3 every time you go near The Castle, or make the mistake of talking to Preston Garvey. That was an annoying design choice, and one with consequence since failing to protect a Settlement would see 1-2 item types from your Workshop eliminated under the guise of it being spoils taken by Raiders. If they choose a building material like steel or wood you could lose thousands of unit just like that...

[@ZIMsar10]

Thanks for video, that was insightful. I'm really looking forward to the release! I'm hoping we get a Special Event detailing much more about Starfield & in-game footage, next month in March, plus, the BIG ONE! - an actual Launch Date for the release of Starfield. There has been way to much Radio Silence from Bethesda for too long & Gamers need an update on progress, from the "Horses Mouth".

[@Davidemusashi1975]

Guys, in my opinion Bethesda is OUTSTANDING. There is NO COMPARISON with other games, no way.

[@belowav3rage]

[@honestgoat]

This looks great. Looks like they have refined the building system a fair bit. Should be worth the hundreds of hours wew ill inevitably be building and crafting. Then with what the modding community will bring in AND fix, I doub't we will be lacking for things to build and craft.

[@-oysterthief4444]

Truly hope settlement building is like FO4. Subnautica and no man’s sky building is good, but nowhere as detailed or intuitive. I could never get into FO76, it wasn’t the same experience as FO4. Can’t wait till this comes out!!!

[@theword7268]

I just hope this system is WAY better than Fallout 4. I hated the building system in that game. For one, having part of the building floating off the ground just irked me. That would happen everytime the terrain was a little uneven vs the building part you were placing. Then I cant tell you how many times I just gave up on building something in my head b/c I'd get started and halfway through realize the walls werent right or something and needing to go piece by piece to delete what you did was NOT fun. I'd much rather construct a building in something like CAD and then once it looks exactly like I want then I fin d a spot to put it. No ,uss no fuss no need for re-do.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Yeah, with that and how the individual pieces loaded into the game engine I usually just did the Wood pre-fab buildings then put down a dozen Sleeping Bags and called a Settlement. It was less taxing on the system too, boosting frame rates compared to making things from individual pieces.
