The best way to build an outpost in Starfield

 In Starfield, only some players can build an outpost, but creating an outpost is the best choice if you want to obtain more resources or prepare to build a base of operations for interstellar travel.

Benefits of establishing an outpost

• If you want to customize a unique ship, then Outpost can help. It offers many additional ship module options, allowing you to customize your ship to your liking easily.
• Outposts can help you sell excess materials and increase extra income, providing a steady stream of Starfield Credits for sale while you focus on other activities.
• Outposts provide additional storage space, which allows you to collect more valuable supplies during your journey.

In addition to the benefits listed above, outposts can be equipped with research stations, allowing you to conduct experiments and develop new technologies, create efficient production facilities, use extractors to harvest resources, and create goods.

The best way to build an outpost

Choose the right location

Before building an outpost, it is very important to choose the best location, which is directly related to the success of the Outpost's construction. Use the Scan skill in the Science skill tree to select a resource-rich location. If your skill level is maxed out, you can identify locations where multiple resources are mined simultaneously. Planets like Lenus 4B are the most popular resource planets for players due to the coexistence of some valuable resources such as aluminum and iron.

Preparations required for mining resources

Before you mine a resource, prepare a tool to help identify multiple resources within its range. Outpost Beacons are a great choice. The selected resources must contain large amounts of materials such as iron, tungsten, and aluminum, which are essential for producing mining equipment. Containers that match the type of resource being mined are crucial, and these can be upgraded with the Outpost Engineering skill in the science tree.

Establish a greenhouse to cultivate plants.

Growing plants on the planet requires a greenhouse. Unlocking the greenhouse requires the Botany skill in the science skill tree, which makes this skill very important. In addition to the need to scan for the specific flora you want to grow, which also requires large amounts of water, linking water production to the greenhouse is crucial.

Raising alien creatures

The prerequisite for raising alien creatures is to unlock zoology skills. Once the facility is established, resources can be produced. Players can change the type of resources produced, which will also change the creatures produced. These organisms require food and adequate water from connected greenhouses, and livestock farming depends on the plants grown in greenhouses.

Store and manufacture parts

Fabricators allow you to create smaller, more advanced parts for different tasks. Also, remember to build warehouses to store them. Collect necessary production resources, speed up research progress, and produce higher-end parts.

Decorate the Habitat:

Starfield allows players to decorate their habitation pods with items found across the galaxy. Players can manipulate these items and place them in the direction they want.

Establish interstellar freight channels.

This needs to be discovered and unlocked through the research room in the Outpost. Multiple cargo passages can be opened, and different passages are linked. The fuel for interstellar transportation requires the use of helium 3. Prepare as much fuel as possible to ensure the operation of the transportation channel.

Starfield provides players with a complex yet rewarding outpost-building experience. By mastering the above skills, players can ensure a constant flow of resources and make their journey through the universe smoother and more enjoyable. Whether you want to build a manufacturing colony or a farm, the universe is waiting for you to explore.
