Starfield outpost guide 2.0, beginner to expert FAST, outpost tips and tricks, cargo links, building

[@NextDayNextLevel]

I have Beryllium, Aluminum, Helium-3, Alkanes, Iron and Water all in one outpost on Linnaeus IV-b in the Linnaeus system. I did it after doing exactly what this guy is talking about in regards to "split biomes". Took me around 45 minutes to an hour to finally get all those resources in the range of my outpost relay after loading and saving a bunch of time to procedurally generate new maps. Happy wandering around biomes, takes some patience. 7:13

[@GlacierFox523]

i tried doing that till I gave up I think with the Alkanes as every time I tried to do the spit biome thing I always manage to do it on the darkside of the planet so I can see shit which is how I got so lost on that planet. Seriously why is it always dark

[@Wytooken]

Can you take a pic of your landing zone on the globe 😮

[@MTF-EPSILON-11-5-NULL]

My ship has 8783 help me it was expensive i was glitching money and still didn’t have enough

[@illegalotter]

@@WytookenI don't think this will help as all LZs are randomly generated, however you want to target intersection of biomes hills (or mountains from this vid) with craters. Craters have He3, Al, Be, etc. and hill/mountain has Fe and Alkanes. Water seems to kinda be everywhere ime, but also don't know why water matters yet personally.

[@NickSteffen]

Quick tip: in each resource field put one container in the center of the field and connect the extractors to it then connect that one’s output to the stacks of containers. That way you can repoint the entire resource fields output by changing the one box and its easier to see what’s going because you don’t have tons of redlines everywhere.

[@Paddyooooooooo]

That’s smart!

[@theloniousvic]

My outpost looks like the matrix of red lines. Works but this is much better, thank you 🙏🏽

[@obi-daddykenobi2031]

Was going to post a similar comment but also I like to drop down all 3 container types on inbound links. Helps stop the H3 issue if you have a receiving tank already set up.

[@Negativity808]

​@theloniousvic bruh tell me about it i have 4 node outpost and it's my farm/money stuff and I have 600 red lines and so disorganized but still making money and have more stuff than I know what to do with (ima build a pretty base now prbly and buy ships I definitely shouldn't buy cuz idk I like ruining my play thrus 😂)

[@stemill1569]

I wouldn't use exactly the center. If you circle the extractors along the edge most the times you can place one or two extractor in the middle. Let's say...put it somewhere where it won't disturb the mining operation.

[@keeperoflenneth]

150h in the game myself, still learned quite a lot from this. Nice work sir.

[@MrAranhawk]

Turrets are not just for animals, I started my first outpost on andraphon and once i got going a ship landed close by, I ignored it as this often happens wherever i go but 5mins later 6-8 pirate npcs came in and started shooting at my extractors etc...

Best video I’ve seen yet. I’ve been pretty confused but decided to wait until I went to ng+ to begin this. Need to allocate some skills but now it makes sense with the cargo links, thank you for your time put in to be able to share accurate information!! Appreciated

[@Evrgreens11]

This is the one, this is the video everyone should see. The others are cool as we are watching you figure it out (while we play other parts of the game) but this one gives me a REALLY good understanding of how outposts work. Thanks, much appreciated!

Glad it helped!

[@ronalddonahue9409]

Your outpost guide videos are top notch. From how you speak throughout the video with each step, to how your videos are structured. I’ve watched dozens of other videos and channels to get a better understanding of outposts; Your videos reign supreme. Awesome content.

you win on outpost building, but also commentary on outposts building and you win hands down on outpost organization.....I'm level 20...I watch...for the madness you make look easy...thank you sir

[@ravensblade]

If you go to modify mode (the one were you can connect stuff) you can also edit some habitats walls for example you can put more windows. You walk to a wall, if it's editable it will highlight. It's the same button you use for putting staff in build mode. Actually many habitats have windows but not by default.

[@dicksawyer5818]

They need a similar function on ships. If your near a ship technician and on your ship, you can go to 'ship edit mode' like outpost mode and then edit hatches and walls and ladders to turn off and on entrances. Would really help and shouldn't cost anything, as these events don't cost at the technician either. Interface is already in place with outpost editing. As long as a path is maintained from cockpit to docker/ramp, you should be free to add as much or little as you like.

[@carloslaredo8840]

Windows are structural weaknesses

[@GulfCoastTim]

Yes I was going to mention this very thing. Walk up to those walls, they highlight yellow, click and bam, window drops in. You can remove them the same way too.

[@michaelmiles2647]

😂 thank you, I want windows but never searched if I could, just accepted it.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

You can also put the airlock right up against the landing pad and then raise it up to the level of the pad and then you can run right from your ship to the hab without traversing stairs.

[@SlumberJack13]

That's what I did! felt so clever!

[@gotindrachenhart]

[@Kessra]

at roughly 4:15, the blueish-grey area is the mountains while the reddish one is the crater's biom. Yes, it is confusing as under "normal" circumstances red would indicate a rusty area which usually means iron must be there, but this game has a different logic

[@deaconwanderer2409]

Bethesda Logic

[@davidkrause8374]

For better rotating when trying to snap or just align things just right you can turn it down so you have more rotations. It is in the outpost settings.

[@devonmoreau]

i’m saving that tip 😊

[@TheLasombra077]

If you’re going to make outposts, don’t worry about split biomes. Save the time and just make a few extra. The time it takes to get just one split can be used to find and build three bases. Extracting bases don’t need to be fancy, so you can afford the time and resources making a handful extra. Just link them to a central base and build that up as you like.

[@StygianIkazuchi]

[@TorkelBurger]

I appreciate your content. Especially the tip on finding the seam of the different terrains. I have multiple outposts on seams and have found the seam using your method with one additional bit. When selecting the spot i make sure it's left/right or up/down for the two biomes. If i land on the left (planet west) i open my map and then head east (right). Same goes for up (north) and down (south). Some of the seams are crazy. Also, the quarter missing on outposts has been a pirate "Ship Landing" location for me everytime. At first I was mad about it. Now I steal ships from at least one of them. 😂

[@mildgooses4401]

Rename your outposts based on the resources that are being farmed there. Makes it easier to see which is which on the interlink console

[@mcx1954]

Thanks for sharing, I’m a XGP user, Another outpost BUG was found.

This is why its hard to find the spots with iron and aluminium together. It was confusing to me at first but everyone always says to looks for "mountains/hills" and "craters". However, the mountains/hills you should look for are the white/silver looking ones. I keeping running into the red ones thinking they were the same. The landing spot is tricky.

[@hensola]

Ah, will try this now, as I always either got iron on its own or aluminium with beryllium and helium Omg, finally got this working lol.. keep trying folks, well worth the pain 😊

[@BjjDrillers]

Once I find the two resources, I'll take off the scanner on the planet and find a gradient between a crater building up into a mountain and make the landing spot there.

Broham, the reason you have to double click to set the habs down is because they are height adjustable. You click once to set in place, raise or lower the hab on its extendable foundation, then click again to place it.

Androphon as a planet sucks tho objectively. There’s a planet w a time conversion rate 90% better forgot the name

Also wanted to mention that I only have each mining outpost gather one material (helium-3 is an exception) and transport it to an outpost I have set up as a giant warehouse. Then I have those recourses taken from the warehouse to my main outpost which is more like a giant base of operations.

[@TheLasombra077]

Yeah. I opted for simple 1/2 resource outposts and just linked them. Takes less time and you get more options for finding good looking places.

[@IamSamtheCamel]

Very in depth, good video. I completely ignored outposts on my first playthrough as I didn't understand them at all. I'll try and make some functional ones in NG+

I wish this was the video I started learning outposts on. Separating resources and looping resources is something I wasn’t doing but was trying to figure out and this saved me from a giant headache but not from the time I invested trying to understand it lol

[@Kr1msonKing]

@ 22:05 : The difference between the Large Landing Pad & Small Landing Pad is that the large one has a Ship Building Terminal & a large selection of parts

[@2ndrangersww2]

Great video, I'm over 100 hours in and learned a lot from it. It would be nice to make an actual colony outpost like the ones you see throughout the game. Should be able to build stores and make settlers man them, that way you'd be selling excess resources and have constant income, maybe be able to put stuff in a specific trading container. Would be cool to make a trading hub where random npcs will land and walk in , and possibly give you business opportunities. I'm sure Bethesda has a whole outpost expansion planned if not it would be a good mod idea

[@danielprekop5007]

That answered my niche 20 hours into outposts questions - thank you so much

[@hunterseekr]

I got super lucky on Andraphon finding a spot that (barely) has Aluminum, He-3, Iron, Beryllium, AND Europium! Although the buildable space got slightly infringed, since another tip I haven't seen mentioned is that NPC landmark locations have a (200? 300? meter) radius exclusion zone where you can't build anything, and there was a cave nearby that cut a chunk into my outpost zone. Since I built my outpost with a little trial-and-error before I saw this video (lots of people doing guides, eventually recommendeds pointed me here- gotta say, good one!), I got a little confused on how the feeding connections work (it's worth noting that it seems they only feed in the direction you connect them, so the order matters), and didn't realize that they only move materials around, and don't just create a shared-access pool like I was expecting (so I had connections leading to the cargo link and transfer container, and got very confused when the materials I put into the storage containers immediately disappeared as soon as I backed away). I was hoping for more of a "shared pool" like I was expecting based on Fallout 4, so I could access all stored materials at my crafting benches without carrying them around on me or my ship until I could get the insane funds for an insane class-C cargo ship. Biggest let-down of the game so far IMO, that the resource sharing is FAR more limited than in F4, which means storing and accessing materials is a lot more work, and I'm perpetually over-encumbered since materials are so dang heavy. (It's a good thing I found a backpack with Assisted Carry, which reduces O2 drain when over-encumbered by 75%, so manageable, but no thruster slot on it D:). Also, not sure if there's a way to hook up cargo container contents to crafting tables, or only your ship... Also, I should mention, since I ran out of copper somehow (I could've sworn I'd had enough on me), I tried using a couple fueled reactors for power since I had a He-3 deposit, but annoyingly, the reactors use up He-3 far faster than the extractors produce, so they're useless unless you have a huge field where you could drop 5 extractors to feed a couple reactors (also'd need some He-3 on hand in order to start the generators to begin pumping), or have progressed enough for an industrial-sized extractor (but by then you probably have better options for power, such as just doing solar)

[@anthonylofthouse1672]

You only need to physically pickup resources for crafting if you are moving those resources to another planet. Any resource in your outpost is accessible from anywhere in your outpost, including your ship's cargo bay, if your ship is in your outpost.

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

THANK YOU! This video had the most meaningful information for me and now I get it!

[@JUSTAVGGAMING]

Great Video. Just to add to this, getting money in this game is very easy so you can pretty much buy recourses you need to start you with your base etc. . This is for people that don’t like building. When you progress in the game you will be able to buy apartments and you do get a free apartment as part of a quest. If you don’t want the base at all you dont really need it but I do suggest having a small base just store all your contraband items and weapons.

[@fastnezy8984]

From what I noticed. It seems Cargo Link inter systems bug out when you have more than one in a solar system. It'll pop an error saying "Link space is currently busy or something" You'd probably have to build a Inter system on helium planets & connect all the resources to that planet with regular Cargo links as a Center Hub for that solar system & send resources out that way.

[@SpaceTruckinNomad]

Thanks for step by step instructions with the added tips👍 exactly what I needed

[@-hellsgate-]

Technically, Inter-System platforms only require one end to have a helium 3 connection for both ends to work. Personally, I rename the first outpost in every system (appending the word "HUB" to it's name) - so, everything traverses via the hub; all other outposts only send resources to the hub via a non-Inter-System platform (outpost 2 sends to outpost 1 & outpost 3 sends to outpost 2, etc). In front of the platforms I build a 2x10 storage for solids, liquid & gas - link all incoming connections to that storage and the other end of them to the Inter-System platform's outgoing connections; add a small gas store by the inter-System platform; connect the gas store to the platform's gas receptacle; then connect it's incoming link to the gas store & add a connection to the platform's outgoing link - doing it in this order means the smnall gas store should ony hold helium 3 & that helium 3 is distributed across all hubs in the chain. By each resource extractor: I build 3x10 storage for that resource type; connect the extractor(s) to the storage; and connect the other end to the storage in front of the platforms. NB: Storage in front of platforms appears to reduce the noise they make too. Caveat emptor start small - you only need one or two small extractors for any given resource - otherwise you can overwhelm your connections & storage with one particular resource. Your main outpost everything connects to needs a further 2x10 storage for solids, liquid, gas & manufactured materials for each hub in the chain.

[@timeshark8727]

There are a few better worlds to start on. I tend to use Bessel III-B. I currently have an outpost that produces Aluminum, cobalt, iron, nickel and water. There is a chance to get platinum as well but I got tired of looking. This set up lets you make unlimited credits and exp from crafting components very early in the game.

[@earthpressedflat]

Best outpost guide I’ve seen so far, but unless I missed it you didn’t address the transfer container and how that works.

[@BioUmano]

You make a link from a storage to the transfer and then you can access it from your inventory ship (LB).

[@tlightning8383]

You mentioned that you shouldn’t combine resources in containers. Is the same true for cargo links? Every time I try to export multiple resources from one outpost, inevitably one of the resources ends up clogging the system.

[@EnemyOfEldar]

Great tips in these comment sections. Some more tips: @Bessel III-b: Fe/Al/Co/Ni @Sumati (Narion): Cu/Pb/F/XF4 Also: the stopping randomly of the intersystem cargo links -- check you habe everything feeding into the right boxes and enough He-3. When the destination of the outgoing resouces is full, the feighters come back to the origonal output still with their cargo and it gets dumped into incoming box of the outgoing system. I think this can eventually lead to a stalling of resources. So connect thr incoming box of the place you are shipping supplies from back to the start of your extractions storage chain and they'll never be a stall in the system.

[@Matoakas]

Yes! DO build that Ship Builder Pad (ASAP). Like the inside 250m you can access and transfer to/from ship cargo, is one of those things that make life better. Literally! Bioms: Instead of running around with the scanner. A much more effective, easier and faster method to find multiple (3,4 and even 5) resources in the same spot/outpost, is to : 1) At a multiple biom spot. Take out the outpost beacon. While having it out, run around with it to use it as a resource 'scanner'. Try have it as far in front of you as you can an look around in all directions. 2) Since Up/left corner of your screen u can see every the resources available in the vicinity of the beacon ring. Giving you a MUCH bigger, faster and better way of finding multiple resources 3) High Ground --> Use your pack, boulders or other high grounds to make the beacon go even further in front of you, and give you even longer reach and better overview Nice guide btw. Thorough and good tips. No BS. Straight to the point. All in one vid. Went over all the basics and then some.

[@Beanie3500]

Thanks

[@Phobos666]

This is by far the best guide for building bases but shows clearly if you wanna invest any time in outpost and maybe ship-building you need over 100 levels to even think about putting skill points into combat. Therefor I would invest points into combat skills first to have fun with starfield in general and after that investing in base building. But thats 100 % only my opinion. It's kind of sad that you don't can have both.

[@Mahbu]

So. I've been trying to find a good guide on how to get mixed resources. I think this is the first one to really explain how the biomes were.

[@halecj1]

Outposts need some work IMO. A large container can hold somewhere around 320 cargo max. I can hold 240 cargo on my body. They need to increase capacity at least like 500%. Why are there no outer walls available to build? I have to stack containers five tall and connect them all the way around my base to make a wall? Is that really the best option we've got? We also need a way to remove landing zones from the map. I'm tired of switching my home ship back and forth to summon it to my outpost. All these things annoy me too much to enjoy the outpost automation.

Quick tips, on Bessel-3B , tou have a ratio of 1/60 there is a spot with all 4 basic ressources ( iron , nickel, aluminium, cobalt) There is also a video abiut how to find the spot.. i tried and find it exactly like described. 👍

[@Atrak8]

Yup Bessel IIIb is a brilliant planet if you can get the right spot. Took me a couple of tried but after getting it. It's a goldmine.

[@givemeanaxe]

is it a hostile environment? all the plants i've found with nickel so far have been.

[@tempeste7727]

I had pirates attack a base once, so turrets super helpful there too! They invaded me like 5 minutes after placing down my outpost, no hesitation lol.

[@stevedrevik7940]

How many turrets would be recommended ?

I have been completely lost on building out post. Extremely helpful info

[@kubel83]

Thank you so much for this detailed video. Helped me very much. Subscribed 😊

[@InvidiousApple]

I have a Andaraphon outpost with Al, Fe, He and Be. So it is possible to have all 4 but from what I've heard it's decently rare.

[@jakestablettableto9453]

All 4? Theres 5 resources on andraphon dude

[@InvidiousApple]

@@jakestablettableto9453 the last one only shows up in mineable form, so you can't use an extractor on it

[@zwenkwiel816]

​@@InvidiousAppleit can be mined with extractors it's just very rare.

[@InvidiousApple]

@@zwenkwiel816 Specifically on Andaraphon? Cause I have scanning maxed and it doesn't show up at all

[@zwenkwiel816]

@@InvidiousApple yeah saw this post on reddit or something about a dude who had all of them. That's when I went looking myself. Couldn't find a spot where I could get all 5 in the circle so I settled on just 4 though.

This is great video, one suggestion to make more accessible: Identify the corresponding buttons on Xbox, for instance E = Y on Xbox. Seems all the video makers are playing on PC!

[@niko9942]

Why do you use a bench and sit instead of a bed where you can sleep and get an xp boost?

[@harrys280]

Can you make a video about supply lines. Daisy Chains or multiple hubs that then ship out everything to the main base. I haven’t found a video that goes over the most efficient way to move items from multiple outposts to one main base. Also due to the fact that you can’t sort items in storage do you just dump all the different materials into a large storage facility. I would really appreciate it if you could go into this in detail. Currently I have 8 outposts and I’m still not sure what supply chain is the most efficient method. Thanks

[@ericthompson463]

There are so many things I hope they do to fix and optimize this system: 1) crew should be able to manage the outposts better and communicate with you in order to turn off a certain good manufacturing. 2) as a daisy chain of multiple foods comes through you should be able to set up the quantities that are “ordered” or shipped through each link, ie you have 10 different resources coming to an outpost ready to be pushed to to the next link, that outgoing (or incoming on the next planet) should be able to specify how many of each type come on each shipment. 3) outpost management may allow more than 3 landing pads. I haven’t even bothered with my own ship’s landing pad, because it would never land there, but I assume that’s one of the three as well. This could make the shipment centralization stronger by having multiple hubs instead of the daisy chain method. …just a few off the top of my head.

Bessel system. 3b iirc, just save before you land in case its not the right map. Bessel is insane its like 2 weeks of UT time for 24 hours. Took like an hour to find a good spot but its fairly easy for 5 resources. Iron and aluminum for sure.

[@SternLX]

Haaa!! I some how knew you'd show Jaffa VII-b. I discovered that moon pretty early on and built my first outpost there. That moon has pretty much everything you need to get going fast on Research.

[@KerboOnYT]

That was a lot of info. Thanks for the tips

[@jamescorbin6455]

Bessel 3 b is the best moon for your outpost hands down. Can build 1 base to harvest iron, nickel, cobalt and aluminum. Plus, 1 local hour is equal to 60 universal. Bessel 3 b also has a bunch of other resources, such as platinum and argon etc...

Finally, decent video on this. Thank you.

[@lordjunk5847]

I had this playing in the background while eating and it reminded me of watching study guides in college 😂

[@qonkisstador2516]

Hi, thanks for a great tutorial, much appreciated and I have now started to try and build my first outpost. However I have run into a serious problem straightaway, that is making building an outpost extremely difficult - I can't move my character one I enter build mode! Like many PC players, I remapped the ASWD for the arrow keys for character movement. But in build mode neither Arrow keys nor ASWD key will move the character. The only way to move is use the auto-move key (NumLock) which is a pain, and I'm sure not what Bethesda intended. Once I change view ('V' key) to bird's eye, I then can't move at all; I'm frozen to the spot until I change back to ground view. What is going on? How are PC players moving their character in build mode? Googling this problem shows I'm not alone in this, but no thread I came across had any answer. People were simply saying, "use the ASWD keys" but they don't work in build mode. Can you help with this - please.
