It's also better than Venus as you don't need to have the outpost design skill for it. The hazardous environment of Venus makes it hard to build an outpost there. Bessel 3b you can do right at the beginning with just a small list of resources from Jemison Merchantile.

You can also mine platinum on B3b and plenty of HE3 and Beryllium is just one moon away, not to mention that you have the only system that you can mine rothcite not far from the Bessel system. Easier to outpost hop if the systems are close together.

@@notpc48 the purpose of having an outpost on Venus isn't really related to resources at all. Most people build on Venus as soon as they can because it's advantageous to have an outpost near a Civilian Outpost. That allows you to unload tens of thousands of credits worth of goods easily and having your own outpost nearby just saves time on ground travel.

Do you know after you go through the unity does It screw up that planet though I've looked and ran for a while

@@nickolasdennis4373 It has not caused issues for me. I have used that Outpost location a couple of times in NG+ after post about it here. I just dropped an outpost marker in that spot about an hour ago in a new play thru.

will try this! thanks

This is the way. I find a solar system with planets containing all the essential resources and connect them via cargo link. From there I have everything I need in one system and only need to make one stop, grabbing everything in one shot while never leaving my ship

Plus that is the system with planet Reach, so bonus cool points.

I hadn't seen that vendor, shall have to look at it on my next time through +. just starting to get into the production of plants/animals.

Not only that but the relationship btw local and UT time is great on this moon

This is great advice. I got lucky and built my first outpost there, the time dilation is awesome, take an hour nap easy to grab over 1k iron aluminum cobalt nickel!

I think that Bessel does also

sleeping with a love one gives you 15% 😎😎

Also Bob Alien Tea I think it's called adds another 3% to XP

Bessel III-b is my first outpost too. I lost patience before finding the sweet spot with the 4 resources... only found iron and aluminum and built from there. Still, the time ratio of almost 60:1 is great for not having to wait too long. Also built another outpost on Eridani VII-c and found titanium, tungsten and lead in one spot so I never run out for weapon mods. I will be doing the Lantana VII outpost for Paramagnon Conductor farming (3XP per craft vs 1 for adaptive frames). Pretty good planet with gold, silver, copper and Helium-3 that can be found in one spot.

The game should have you rest/wait based on UT time not planetary time. No reason for that overlook to be honest. Nobody in their right mind would ever base a timetable based off of planets like Venus. Let me rest for the next year on this chair…

@@scottbyerly1900 Exactly. 👍

Only use Venus when you want to reset all chests in the game. Like the contraband chest in neon security for example. 5 hours sleep in Venus will reset every chest / vendor in the game

Actually?

@@sdefiel3719 Mhm. 😄

I just downsized my 24 outposts with cargo links and manufacturing for this reason, started stuttering. I didn't delete them but cut all the cargo links out and the most of the storage downsized to a few containers. I can still go back to get the parts or resources if I need them but really the point of this kind of system is to make your outposts more efficient with reactors and industrial extractors, but then what do you do with the resources after that?

Hey Mike yeah I was going to just remove cargo links and downsize but decided it would be easier to start again with a new approach. I have been trying for an hour now to explain my new strategy but it's kinda complicated to describe here haha basically I concentrated on building outposts that can mine both resources needed for 2-resource components. For more complex components I build outposts to mine resources to combine with the simple 2-resource components. To be honest though I would only concentrate on the 2-resource components and make a ton of them. Comm Relays are a good bonus as they only require 2 2-resource components to manufacture which can be done on your ship. My vendor strategy is then go to Neon and from every vendor I buy all their resources, ammo, food, meds etc to then sell them back my manufactured components. @@MaddogMike-444

Sounds like you have been in this universe too long and are starting to get the "ff" item number bug. Doesn't matter if on pc or console either. The only fix is to jump.

Hi Rich yeah I did consider that too as I think I am around 922 hours on the same save but since I redone my outposts the game is back to playing butter smooth (fingers crossed). I will start NG+ once I complete the Crimson Quests which I am most looking forward to). @@richw8589

Voss in alpha centurai, land in a 'lead' area. First thing I do on a new playthrough because tungsten is always a bottleneck. Farm 1000ish, remove the outpost, head to Bessel 3.

Bessel III-b has 57:1, is that what you meant?

Get a PC

Do you mean visiting for example Neon is enough or do you need to visit each manufacturer and view their ships for sale?

That slider is hard-coded into the UI, so it's the same on PC.

Use the bumpers and the stick to make it move fast.

This is something that I've been trying to research, but all I see are "here's the best planet" results. What "I" have been looking for is a good low-ish level system that's unaligned (so I can have my stuff and clear my name too) as it would reduce travel. On my first playthrough I was sitting there with half a dozen outposts in the starting system (the one with NA). I think it's Alpha Centauri, but IDK off-hand. I could get most things except Tungsten, I think. Later I made a one-off outpost that was mostly for clearing bounties vs trying to remember what is where. On my current / first NG+, I'm starting in that system that starts with an L, but it's also L45, so while it's ok, it wouldn't meet my requirements.

@@pyromethious At one point, when I was building outposts, I looked at multiple systems. What I did was count unique resources to come up with a total number, and highlighted the ones with the most commonly needed resources.I also tried to figure in what planets have resources that appear together, to get the most resources per outpost. MAAL system has vanadium, titanium, alkanes, lead, iron, copper, He3, Aluminum, uranium, berryllium, chlorine, mercury, lithium, platinum, tetraflourides, tungsten, nickle, cobalt, argon, neodynim, plus bio resources of plants and animals. So I could harvest 32 unique resources with 7 outposts. Then I put my main outpost on a planet with a nice environment, breathable air, swimmable water, no toxic planetary conditions like high radiation heat or cold, nice shorelines with waves and gull sounds. Ixyll II. And I put one other outpost on a planet in the Ixyll system that had He3 just to get the resources transferrred to Ixyll II. You could maybe get a better setup, but it would be difficult to have so many resources and so many commonly needed resources, going to a nice planet to have your main outpost on. But then I stopped building outposts due to all the bugs, I wish Bethesda would fix... Building all those outposts accelerated the Form ID bug/limit and my game would no longer play and I went to NG+ to be able to continue to play. But if you want a nice setup, I can recommend MAAL as a resource system, and Ixyll II as a nice main outpost. That gives you six resources planets sending to a seventh "hub" with He3, six being the max number of landing pad/transfer points. Then that "hub" planet in MAAL sends to one planet with He3 in Ixyll, which sends to Ixyll II. This gives you an abundance of resources, a working setup when 6 is the max landing pads you can have, and you need He3 to transfer between systems, and a nice hospitable planet for your main Outpost. 😁 Hope this helps you.

Depends. Do you want to be attacked? Or do you like crappie weather. I've built on both planets and androphon was far easier to find a spot with multiple resources. Bad weather on bessel constantly and on androphon, ecliptics hit me a few times.

@@TheChocodiledundee I chose Bessel over Androphan for the time ratio

@@TheChocodiledundee Once I maxed out my turrets and security bots, the attacks pretty much stopped on Bessel 3. And the time ratio makes the bad weather not important. Just make a habitat with a bed and weather is not a factor.

@@TheChocodiledundee There must be a reason for such attacks, I have an outpost on Andraphon and for over 200hs there never was any attack.

I have done both, and I prefer Bessel. Going to try this new option next NG+ and compare.

Do it

Literally nobody fucking cares.

Brits pronounce it differently than Yanks do mate.

XP and credits. An hour can net you 100k on the right outpost setup.

@@downix I see. Thanks for the explanation. To me, that means no building outposts.

@@ozymandiastotb8925 and that's perfectly fine.

Just FYI, you are wrong :-) It was discovered by a Danish scientist and is spelled Aluminium. That US citizens find it difficult to pronounce is fair, but you shouldn't teach people bad habits :-)
