[@lukasgilbert2624]

Not having ground vehicles in this game still blows my mind

[@AGxAG]

crazy there's no space quad bikes or a moon buggy sort of vehicle.

[@grimeyfresh9309]

Wow... this is actually such a good idea... it would add so much depth and extra hours to the game... and would be relatively easy to make and add. For the developers.

[@Jayvone1000]

Generation Zero added motor bikes in an update. Before there were only bicycles.

Maybe in the DLC?

Hands down, the best guy to get resources from (he has every resource you need to build) is in Cydonia (SOL). When you’re entering cydonia and going down the ramp take a left and he’s the last room. You’ll pass two medical rooms and he’s in a very very tiny room. He even has a bench right next to his desk (wait 48 hours). He has it all! And lots of it. I’m seeing that no one ever mentions this guy! His name is DENIS AVERIN.

[@bjornironsides6474]

Guy is a hero. I got stuff from him

[@SergioLeRoux]

I found the best way to find all the minerals in Andraphon is to go to the Crater biome (which has Aluminum, Helium and Beryllium), and you're looking for a different color mountain (that's a Mountain biome, which should have Iron). It should be VERY visible. Walk around the base of the mountain with the scanner and the Beacon placement mode, it should tell you which minerals are in range (sometimes it bugs). I managed to get a place where I had all the main 4 minerals at smallish spots at the edges of my buildable area, which left like 95% of the center area free to make anything I want without worrying about running out of mineable space.

[@happyaccidents156]

To add to this. This works for all minerals. Each one has their specific biomes they come from, so when you do a planet scan, find where they are close together and look for where the biomes start to cross into each other. You can find out what biome an area is by creating a landing point. The biome should be listed right above the land button prompt.

[@xanto2032]

To further add to this. When landing your landing zone are randomly generated - on andraphon i've spent 2 hours trying to get EXODIA (as I call it), and I had a spawn with all 5 (the red like biome holds everything but iron, the white biome holds iron). I couldnt get all 5 of them, cause of the Eu.

[@donutson777]

Thanks i will try this on Linnaeus iv-b. The Planet has h2o, he-3, fe, pb, al, be, hncn and yb 😊 Edit: thanks for the tips. Found a spot with 6 resources 😁

[@birdieb0y25]

Okay I have a question, can it tell you 5 resources at once in top left? The max I've seen shown is 4

[@CrimsonEsso]

@@xanto2032 I managed to find all 5. /M3yT9rfmBlc?si=wKwVNnz9M95k4EHq

[@shade_x7752]

Not bad but you need to embrace the alternate view.. you pop down an outpost, then select a harvester and SCROLL BACK in the alternate view and you can see ALL deposits in your radius easily.. and MANY outside your radius.

[@CharlesVanexX]

I love the alternate view. I'm not sure why people dislike it.

[@jackpowers616]

Great until it gets bugged and becomes literally unusable

[@MrLemonaiden]

@@jackpowers616easily fixed bro, save and reload that save and it fixes it

[@shade_x7752]

So far just leaving that view and going back in usually clears any glitches.. but yeah there are def. Some bugs... when building bases I use that overhead view 100% especially for linking items.

[@WTFisDrifting]

Yeah by my third out post I started doing this 😊

[@seanwilson5282]

Honestly, best outpost video I've seen so far! I got all the information I was looking for plus some extra tips. Thank you for the help!

[@waylander73uk18]

Placing your outpost on the edge of two biomes e.g. mountain and crater gives you the best chance of getting more minerals as it spans both, great video.

[@aboyandhisdad7857]

One helium extractor isn't enough to power a fueled generator completely. It will go very slow, and you'll never have access to excess Helium for onter-stellar cargo link. Recommend powering your helium extractors with solar and point two at a gas storage and then to the fueled generator. Then you will get some excess helium.

[@mike_d_melb_music_fan5229]

Yes, otherwise you get a field of extractors that exist just to fuel themselves.

[@zoned321]

Thanks! took your advice and i set up an outpost where in a location with 4 resources - Al, He-3, Br and europium. Should be a good start

[@tazz2096]

Thanks for the video! I have my first outpost up and running now, thanks to this guide. Much appreciated!

[@jamesjohno1180]

Awesome info this was a great help I’ve just recently started getting into my outposting, there’s a lot to it and this helped quite abit thank you

[@GeoFry3]

The one advantage to doing multiple outposts are the number of autoguns you can put around the extractors. Other than the initial expense for linking them together (same planet/moon) and extra guns, there arw no on going expenses. Keeps the pirate spawns down and the ones that do occur get delt with quickly. It also leaves you more open ground at your primary outpost. Linking them together in a daisy chain. OP1 >> OP2 >> OP >> >> OP main hub.

[@ydenneki]

It deosn't have to be the same PLANET/MOON ... you can link any outposts in the same SYSTEM without needing Helium-3. That's only needed for INTER-SYSTEM commections.

[@JustSayin728]

​@@ydennekiSO if I wanted to put my main outpost on a lush, green spot that doesn't have a ton of resources, all I need to do is set up small OP's with extractors on top of resources I want to mine for, add some storage and power, and then a cargo link on each "mining" outpost I have and ALL of those OP's will link back to my main Outpost....do I have that right? That way I'm not landing all over different spots in a system to try and collect resources, right?

[@rickshrout3976]

Wow! Incredibly Informative and Well Presented. Thank You! You just Boosted my Gameplay TenFold as well as my Bank! Appreciated!

[@zedmouse]

It took me a while but I went to this moon and found a spot with all four resources! I have Beryllium, Alluminum, Helium 3, AND Iron! The trick is the find where to icy snow areas meet the red clay looking area. Iron is more in the icy area and the other element are found in the red area. Look around the point where these biomes meet and you can get lucky like I did and have ALL four resources for your first outpost. I’m so excited! Took me landing in three different spots and running around for over an hour to find it but I’m so happy I did that. Very worth my time and effort.

[@Seven_Swell]

This helps so much. Compared to the settlements in fallout idk why this is so much harder but it makes a lot more sense now, thank you! Consider spending a little more time editing though 😅

[@GRZ412]

Just got the moon and was able to find a spot with five resources around the same area where you landed on the moon. Helium, Iron, Aluminum, Berylium, Europium. Great guide !

[@williesalgueiro9706]

Thanks man. The linking between storages helps a ton. 💯💯 bet

[@theolddm]

Great guide!! Really hope when modding gets going, the links can be setup as pipes or conveyor belts, etc.. Make it look more 'industrial'.

[@nickos2079]

I'm so happy this is not the case lol, I love no power lines and simple logistics, go play satisfactory 😂

[@foodchainstop5297]

I like to think the links are all underground like in european countries

[@gemjarv]

No. This is not some shitty factory sim. Please devs ignore this rubbish if you ever by chance come across it

[@jeffreyford5541]

Worked great, grabbed 4. Thank you!

[@LodewijkVrije]

Just run around with the beacon. It will show you the harvestable resources within its building radius in the top left.

[@djinouikgoglesuck9819]

YES! Thanks for the advice that was insanely helpful, roamed for 20mn without finding anything, switched to beacon and whats also really helpful is it shows the materials around it where you place it, so making your radius of exploring much bigger, and finding the spot is insanely easy as it kinda guides you toward existing minerals spot so you re always close to something. Found it in 5mn afterwards with all 4. Love you

[@Brandon-bh7pj]

I've just gotten into this game and im so blown away by it. So much to do and explore. Now this. This awesome as. Cant wait till i buid my own outpost.

[@JoeTheCrusader]

Informative and entertaining! Thanks a bunch Tag for all your help with Starfield!

[@BaxterretxaB]

Lots of bits they he doubled what he said that probably forgot to be edited out. I get that he’s trying to pump these videos out quick but one final run through of the final edit makes a much higher quality video than one with duplicate/outtake clips littered in. Like I said, because he is pumping out the content I can overlook it I guess. Still greatly informative

Very informative! I'm excited about the depth of this game!

Bro, I'm very happy to watch your video, I had created an outpost on the moon, but I saw that it wasn't moving forward, so I found your video, I managed to make two outposts on that moon that you mentioned in the video, now I'm gaining a lot of iron, aluminum and other ores, I even managed to earn some money selling the ores!

[@yackgara]

Thank you! Awesome guide

[@brianwaterman8185]

i spent hours searching that moon for a spot that had all three. Well worth the wait, but wish i would have realized i could zoom in on the moon to pinpoint a better starting location. lol.

[@JwF1686]

Best guide ever. Thank you

[@wighar]

nice guide for a first video I see on the topic, gives me a few idea on how to improve my own build, nice video editing as well, I do not know if you use a de-esser or not, but might be something to think about, it will help with the sharp s sounds during the VO.

[@RainmakerXBooty]

Really helpful video, thanks

[@Barnacus]

Thanks for that info!!!

[@Bokaj01]

Thing I liked from start citizen was flying around on the planet and exiting and entering the atmosphere. Felt very immersive. It's a bit too static and arcady here for my taste, but the assets and facilities look great!

[@AerialEscape]

Agreed.. I think we're all hoping that a DLC will change that. Star Citizen is one of the worst games of all time imo, but they do have a few features that trump Starfield.. features that generally dont work or bugged the funk out, but they tried.. lol

[@Reppuperc]

try to land right between where mountain and crater biomes cross, u will find that crossing when on the planet/moon surface and run along that crossing with scanner and u might get lucky and find aluminium, iron and helium next to each other

[@jiff2323]

That’s great. Very helpful.

[@alphatax2000]

Ty for this guide, now I can at the very least get started on my first outpost! Keep up the good work! 👍

[@Mike3282011]

I found a spot just north of where you landed cause I went to the same spot to set the outpost up you had and could only find iron. Went north about an inch worth on the map fully zoomed in and got beryllium, aluminum, helium-3 and europium for available resources. No iron but if it's hard to get 3 I'm surprised I found a spot with 4 available resources for my first outpost. Especially with europium being a 3 star resource

[@pintobean6092]

Pro tip you can get all 4 resources by landing where two different biomes meet for example mountains and craters (make sure all 4 resources are in same area . *Show Resouces*)

Hell yeah this worked for me

[@AbeTweakin]

Man I tried this but still ended up running around for a kilometer or more trying to find iron and AL next to each other to no avail :( so now I got my 1st outpost making solely iron, and a 2nd one producing byrillium , and al.

[@signolias100]

@Xenkavur it is a very specific location on the planet you'll need to find. So expect to look up videos on the location and prepare to spend some time finding the location. It took me roughly 3 hours to pinpoint it properly. You'll make levels and money on making adaptive frames and the magnets. And the base requires little to no outside materials to build there.

You can go to planets with structural leaves and just spend an hour or so to save you some money, but it might be faster to just to a mission from a mission board and buy them.

[@LeifurHakonarson]

Playing the game you soon have plenty of money to buy the materials you need. Most of the difficult ones are only needed for research (one-time) and outpost development anyway (look for a list of mats used for weapon/space suit mods and it is a fairly short one). I have lots of outposts but I sometimes question whether I should have bothered. Of course the game doesn't have anything else that is particularly compelling so maybe outpost building can become the central feature ... but you soon run out of storage space (I've already got dozens of storage modules). My favourite pastime is stealing/taking ships in the Archimedes, Hawking, Huygens and other level 75 systems. Of course the bug requires me to constantly enable that feature with the only console command I use ...

[@LeifurHakonarson]

The reason I started building outposts was actually so I could build a landing pad (with all the features) within easy reach from my hunting grounds - getting locked into stealing ship after ship to find one with sufficient range gets tiresome 🙂

[@thedude2430]

I just got uber lucky. I got frustrated that I couldn't find a triple area earlier... Stumbled onto a quad area randomly. He-3, Al, Be, AND Eu. No iron, but heck, I'll count that as a MASSIVE win.

[@user-nf4hb5jc7h]

Can you help clarify if we need to link the solar arrays and power generators to our extractors to power them? Or does it inherintly power the extractors by building them?

[@zxmunro9015]

Two things I would suggest is stack containers rather than horizontal placement and don't place structures that cross over the boundary circle especially your landing pad as it will cause the outpost to bug out. When using cargo links only use either incoming or outgoing but not both unless they are different resource types. If you have both incoming and outgoing at the same transfer link it bugs and randomly puts outgoing into incoming storage and vice versa unless they are different resource types.

[@tonyk.8580]

Any advice on setting up a first outpost once you reach the armillary stage of the Constellations story-line?

[@bubblebuster6813]

You can open doors while in the Modify mode. You don't need to exit the builder.

[@blgarndogg9673]

So ive done the house trait. Am i better off by making an outpost next to my house and then linking all other outposts to that one so ive got my materials at my house for easy transfer and use? Or can i just link them to a house?
