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

[@glacierfox5237]

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.

[@fastnezy8984]

[@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.

[@TheKittyClink]

​@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...

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!

[@VideoGameDataBank]

Glad it helped!

[@stevenflaton2693]

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

[@RpTheHotrod]

19:30 if you sre in first person mode when building, if you swap what you want to build to something else then back, it will straighten the placement out for you so you dont have to awkwardly keep rotating placements.

[@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]

Now if my ship would just land ON the damn pad!

Dude. This is the best tutorial video I’ve ever seen. You’re explanations and overall you’re way of speaking is excellent. Top Notch.

[@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.

yeah the one yesterday was built upon the previous four. It was definitely not meant for beginners lol

[@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.

[@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

[@StygianIkazuchi]

FINALLY. This is the first video I've found that actually explained how to use the cargo links properly.

[@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 😊

[@brendandwyer482]

All the other outpost building videos I watched quickly gloss over how to set up cargo links. This was an excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@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

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.

[@dusterssixteen]

Bessel III-b has a 1hr wait to 60 hour UC time, making it 10x better. Also there is an area that you can get 6 resources in one outpost. Vash Cowaii made a video, and only used less than 950 credits.

[@allseeingsage214]

FYI you only get mixed biomes when landing from orbit. Selecting a new landing zone while on the surface and fast traveling to it will only generate a single biome, you have to take off in your ship if you wanna try for another mixed biome.

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.

[@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

[@davidbol904]

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.

[@DoughBoy2024]

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.

[@TheLoneLander]

I did it after an hour of searching

[@GrosserAndrew5000]

Keep trying and you can get circles with plenty of 5 elements if not more.

[@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. 😂

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.

[@Cmoth040]

For those who don't know; the large landing pad is capable of registering your hijacked/"gently borrowed" ships. If your base is in an uncontrolled system, no customs screening. I "borrowed" a really nice ship from some extremely nice Ecliptic mercs who unfortunately died during negotiations. It was on the same planet as my outpost. I relocated the ship to my outpost and registered it. Easy-peasy. A moment of silence for our Ecliptic friends. They will be missed.

[@SasquatchDanny]

You can register a ship directly from space with your inventory menu.

[@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.

[@SpaceTruckinNomad]

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.

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.

[@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

[@chrism104]

I mean .... basics are really good in this guide.... some info wrong and some is just not the best advice but technically not wrong.... I guess this will get people started.... so will give it a thumbs up because I appreciate all the starfield content creators

[@NicoGylis]

what info are wrong and what would be these better advices ?

[@chrism104]

@@NicoGylis Lot good info... just not the best or even a great planet to do it on... not at my gaming pc .... but planet is bessel II or IIc ? and the maps aren't random generated or at least not how I interpret random generated.... every playthrough I go to the same planet and find the exact same area using the same black mountain as geographical point of reference and then place base in pretty much same spot beside the same cropping of rocks.... it splits 3 biomes and you get nickle, aluminum, iron... and ... cobalt? time is something like 1/50 so sleep or wait for 1 hour 50 hours pass UTC... anyways even if you follow this guide ... alum and iron are most important so guide is goodd for that... but bad advise is with the extractors... use as few as possible and get the gather circle covering as much of the mine able area as possible... less extractors means need less power so less resources to spend on building power supply. also don't spread stuff around the outside... the game is not great at making it obvious when you have damaged structures... so good chance your base can get raided and power supply or extractors get damaged and stop producing... not sure what determines when/if/how often you get raided... so good to try and centralize structures and drop just a basic hab so you can put turrets on the roof to offer at least some protection... or at least make it easier to drop by and check if repairs are needed without running to the outskirts. but overall this is a great guide for the basics... and then people would figure out the little improvements on their own...

[@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.

[@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.

You are the king of outposts! Thanks for all the lessons!

[@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.

[@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 ?

[@playitbyear5312]

I’m going to be honest, this whole system feels like a huge pain in butt and for absolutely no reason that I have found.

[@flacwby]

It's useful when you want all your resources deposited in to 1 main outpost. Saves you time jumping around the galaxy picking up from your extractors everywhere.

[@playitbyear5312]

@@flacwby I’m referring to the outpost system in general. Granted, I am slowly and meticulously working my way through my first play through, perhaps on another character it will make more sense, but I’m not seeing any value in the outpost system outside of building bigger outposts. I could definitely be wrong, I’m sure I probably am, I just haven’t found it yet.

[@flacwby]

@@playitbyear5312 Oh I absolutely can't agree. Outpost building is a nice side experience, however you're right in that it doesn't really provide much value, other than it produces resources, organic and inorganic materials that you need to craft upgrades and items.

[@kentagent6343]

I agree, they could've made things simpler imo. I do however very much like that it isn't forced on you like settlements were in Fo4.

[@playitbyear5312]

@@ahmadbashir3102 how?! Bouncing up and down off some moon or planet for hours trying to find the exact combination of resources? So why? You can collect some and build something so you can spend hours hopping from one vendor to another running them out of credits in a second or two? Honestly, working at Walmart is less tedious than this, and for the time expenditure you could just complete quest lines and make just as much money and xp.

Finally, decent video on this. Thank you.

[@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

[@Ninja-iu6un]

IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE - In Xbox at least, there’s a soft limit on how many crates full of resources you can have at an outpost. I say “soft limit” because the game doesn’t tell u about this, but instead if you have hundreds of full storage crates the game will have this weird stutter every 10 seconds regardless of where you are (including light years away from the outpost with the crates)

[@Z3rgatul]

This is because game processes all outposts in background thread... try not build crazy things

Should be noted. There's a point in the main story where you need to build defenses on your Outpost no matter what.

i had the andraphon outpost, and just slapped "censored" structure down. never built any defenses or anything an im fine (60h) 🤷

Got starborn without ever starting an outpost. Still haven't activated, and,am now looking at outposts. Should have been better integrated into the story IMHO.

[@muldersxfiles]

I believe some of the things that seem broke are really just things not done in order. For instance if you link your storage containers before creating the link from the excavator then it will not fill them in order regardless of maintaining a series circuit. Great stuff though dude. Somehow I’ve completely missed waiting at the outpost to speed up production time lmao. Trying that shit right now

Re: Building elevation. You said "double click E to place". Well, when you click E the first time, you can hold down W (or whatever is for UP on a controller) and it will raise whatever building you're trying to place
