Starfield | Tropical Outpost with Green House

Outpost build on a tropical planet. The planet is Serpentis III located in the Serpentis System, not the best atmosphere but it sure looks good. Hopefully you enjoy the build and can get a few ideas from it, thanks for watching and stay tuned for more Starfield builds!

I really hope they'll add outside doors that aren't airlocks, for use on planets with a breathable atmosphere. It's kind of ridiculous now

[@MillsBuilds]

Totally agree. Although this planets atmosphere actually isn’t safe, so the airlocks are needed here. But definitely need an option for normal doors for planets with a breathable atmosphere, there’s like 100+ models of different doors in the games too so it shouldn’t be hard to do.

For some other videos of mine I did always like doing a day time tour as well as a night time tour but the lighting in this game can be really inconsistent. I even had to turn my flashlight on for this video just to see the computer stand, it should never be that dark in there during the middle of the day.. but I’ll keep that in mind for the next build I could do a day time and night time tour.

Thank you! And I’m not sure how I’d go about doing that, when the creation kit drops I’ll be looking into turning some of these into mods.

[@Kushala]

@@MillsBuilds I was curious if you could upload your save file not sure if you’re also on PC but that’s alright if not. I’m excited for the creation kit things like this will be way less tedious and artists like yourself can make prefurnished habs that can just be placed anywhere. That’s what I loved most about Skyrim mods so many nice homes with uniquely placed static clutter, storage etc. that won’t float out of nowhere 😂

[@MillsBuilds]

I am on PC, but still kinda getting used to it all. Switched to PC over the summer still have a lot to learn as far as modding goes. I’ve never dealt with the creation kit before but from what I’ve read and watched it seems to be as user friendly as modding gets, I’m hoping I’ll be able to turn my outposts and decorated player homes into mods like people did in F04 where they would come furnished & decorated. I used to love downloading mods for fallout 4 & Skyrim that would decorate certain buildings but downloading mods on Xbox was pretty streamlined.

[@andrecontente6370]

Amazing 🤩

[@tobarstep]

I've found a few planets like this - just beautiful and teeming with life. But somehow with a methane-based atmosphere. No big deal, I guess since the weather is mild.

I wish this games building allowed for more, everything is designed like a space shuttle despite not all planets requiring a helmet and spacesuit

[@MillsBuilds]

I have no doubt the future of outposts is only gonna get better, whether it’s by Bethesda or modders I believe this is just the foundation. And currently there’s a lot of potential but tons of things I’d want added as well. Just patiently waiting for more, and for the time being just seeing what’s possible with the system as it stands now.

Looks great! I cant help but get anxious when i saw the campfire in amongst the grass 😅 maybe putting it on the sand would be more realistic?

Nice build man! I really love this game and have so many hours into it, but if they don't start fixing these bugs I may have to uninstall.

I go to my penthouse to grab a few things, open the door and it is bare bones! Nothing was there but a few gun cases. Everything I had work so hard for is gone. I have looked everywhere for it. So discouraging. Love the videos though man and I hope they fix this game.

Thank you dude,I appreciate that! And sorry to hear that happened to ya! That really sucks, I wonder what caused that.

Hopefully everything gets fixed with some time!

[@lordbarklee]

Amazing outpost build. Just started myself and looking for inspirational builds. Is there a tric for precise placement of small items? I struggle whit that part.

[@MillsBuilds]

What specific items are you referring to? Somethjng that I didn’t realize until a week into playing was that in the settings you can change the rotation speed of outpost items which is a total game changer. Helps rotate the items precisely.

[@lordbarklee]

@@MillsBuilds Hi, it's about decorations and small (looted) objects like bottles and mugs for example. It only rotates along 1 axis. When i place it on a table and it falls over it is hard to get it up right again. It would be so much easier to rotate it along 3 axis.

[@MillsBuilds]

@@lordbarklee you can rotate it on any axis! Depending on what your using, for controller rotating is RT and LT where mouse is right click and left click. And then to change it’s axis click the left stick on controller or shift on keyboard and then rotate the item and it will rotate on a different axis. Another tip is when you drop the items on the ground go into your build mode and look at the items, you can then pick them up and place them with their physics disabled so when you bump into them they won’t go flying everywhere. Hope this helps!

[@lordbarklee]

@@MillsBuilds I recently (yesterday) "discovered" the Build Mode possibility. Works very good. Thanks for the keyboard variant with the shift-key. Helps too. 👍 thanks again.

[@SteelWolf13]

04:26. Take that room. and have a hall between two of those rooms. On a second story. Climb a ladder up to that middle hall. The overall idea is a 360 degree observatory. Trying for a no doors or halls in the way but I dont like the idea of a ladder in the middle of the room.

[@chrisclimate]

Thanks a lot - looks beautiful!! I can't seem to find the lakes...any hints?

[@MillsBuilds]

Thanks! And just land as close to the water as possible it should say (coast) for the biome. due to the way procedural generation works you won’t find this exact spot but you definitely should be able to find something really similar.

[@SM-McKraken]

Nice job, nice video. But it could use more info... what are the resources like? Is the water safe? That's th eFlora/Fauna like? Those few tidbits would go a long way to help us decide if we want to build there, and save us a lot of time going there to find out. Liked, regardless.

[@MillsBuilds]

Thank you! I definitely agree, the editing and builds will get better with each video. I put more information in my last build and tried explaining some things more. I also explain things a little more in depth in the description. My next outpost will have a lot more info should be out by this weekend!

[@Brentt777]

How did you get the fancy stuff like table and chairs? All i have are some crappy looking fold up tables. I have my research max too.

[@bushwookie2438]

wish we can put snapping walls inside the habs

[@BG24551]

How does one add items that aren't in the outpost builder menu? E.g. sandwiches, books, junk etc. Do you have to manually drop, grab, and place them on surfaces?

[@MillsBuilds]

Yeah, everything either comes from my misc items or aid items. You just drop them from your inventory and then hold the take button so you can pick it up and your able to rotate the items with left and right trigger and then change its axis by clicking left stick. Or you can drop the items from your inventory, go into your build mode and pick them up that way which disable its physics.

[@AndreaLops]

@@MillsBuilds and do all misc items remain fixed to the tables once you leave the outpost, even after some time? Anyway amazing work!

[@JohnnyTai86]

how do you make the lights illuminate well? Some of the indoor hubs are so dark even with some of the lights inside

[@MillsBuilds]

I’m pretty sure it’s a glitch, a little hard to explain but you can test it yourself and see what I mean. Place a hab down, and then attach an airlock to it. The airlock should have a bright red light on inside but sometimes if you move the airlock it basically disables that red light and it’s almost pitch black in the air lock. Only way to fix it is to just delete the airlock and place it again. So basically I’d make sure your habs lighting is good before you start decorating it cause it could be glitched and you just need to delete it and replace it.

[@biigzaddyy3855]

You decorate gorgeously. Also I cannot wait for texture mods on Xbox holy fuck that foliage is 🤌

[@DevelopmentRobco]

Starfield is near perfect with plenty to keep people busy like skyrim for years to come in my opinion. They just really need to get building down pat, the prefab options are really kinda lame, and its not like their arent plenty of buildings in game that look sick they couldnt just add into the builder, the oceanside condos on the side of paridiso come to mind.

[@MillsBuilds]

I have no doubt it’s gonna get improved over time. Just working with what we have available for the time being, but they definitely need to add more than just prefab habs.

[@accidrainn]

Have you figured out how to place books in the bookcase 😂? I punched it so many times , it doesn't open😮😂 The Wall cabinets open if you hit them with a melee weapon 🔪, still can't figure out why the bookcaes don't work like display cases , or bookcases in Skyrim 😢 I want a library and, magazine stand 😢

[@MillsBuilds]

Unfortunately not. I swear it’s a glitch, because why would some of the cabinets even be able to open up if they didn’t want you to. You could open up cabinet doors and drawers in previous Bethesda titles. Also I’ve seen stuff inside of them at random locations in the game too, but yeah really shouldn’t be hard to make them work like display cases. For now I think the best bet is placing the big wooden shelf or grey shelf and placing each book individually between the shelves. If you watch my beach outpost video I have some books standing up in between the grey shelf at around 3:30 into the video.

[@valkynxivilai7651]

Over all the outpost system is good but it can be way better. Just like it was in fallout 4 we need much more stuff to build with.

[@marcushansen4996]

Can you give me a reference on your map or something? I have been running around that area for 2 hours and can’t find it lol.

[@MillsBuilds]

Due to the way procedural generation works you technically wouldn’t ever find this exact spot even if you dropped in the exact location. The plants and animals would all be the same, it would look the same but the terrain wouldn’t be identical. I’m sure you could find something very similar though. Try landing on an area that says swamp or swamp coast on the planet.

[@benwilson2099]

how do you get your armour to appear on the manniquens ? put armour on them in my home but the armour doesnt show up at all

You have to go to the mannequins inventory, and then click equip on what you want to show up on the mannequin. It can be a little confusing though because it’s showing the apparel on your character but really it will show up on the mannequin.
