Starfield Outposts INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT! The BEST Planet For Resource Farm & Starfield Outpost Guide

[@GuessMyName86]

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

[@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.

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 😁

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 😊

[@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.

[@thedave1771]

@@mike_d_melb_music_fan5229in fairness, a bunch of stuff that barely powers itself is almost satisfying in this game.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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 !

[@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?

[@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!

[@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 😅

[@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'.

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

[@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.

[@lukestafford25]

Its a good starting base location but I've been using Linnaeus IV-b, in the Linnaeus system. I've just built a base with 6 different types of resources, including iron, aluminium, helium, water, two other rare ones

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

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

[@wemtiafi]

I find it useful to stop by Gagarin Landing and visit Clint's, then head to Akila City for anything might have been out of at the time. Gagarin is in the same system as Jemison (New Atlantis) so it's relatively easy to hop back and forth. :)

[@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 🙂

[Edit - Outpost(s) build. Working, earning money. Thank you.] Sure, anyone can build here... I found what appeared to be a great spot with 3 possible resources. I landed. It was right next to an Eclipse base. I killed them. It was a great fight for my level 7 character which has done almost nothing yet. Okay, level 8 now because the fight leveled me up. Then I ran to the wrong ship when leaving. Killed them. Boarded. Killed everyone. Now I am standing in a ship I cannot fly and I do not know how to tell what Class the ship is and do not know if I can just go to the simulator to up my piloting skills to be able to try to return to this ship. So, build your first Outpost, easy. Right... or wrong? I suspect if I build too close to the Eclipse base then my Outpost will be destroyed. Sigh... Just too many unknowns.
