Be careful pirates and other factions will attack randomly and can destroy/damage your buildings so turrets are a must

Little tip, when you're hitting resources with your cutter, right click to make the focus smaller and you'll zap resources in a fraction of the time.

As a follower of your Satisfactory content and fellow anticipator of Starfield outpost building, I'm very excited to see a TotalXclipse outpost guide. Can't wait to see your further videos.

Thanks for this, either I somehow missed a tutorial in game or the game doesn't explain ANY of this. Helped a lot.

one thing i learned from building outposts is that it takes two He3 extractors in order to make a self-sustaining loop using the He3 fueled generator. Tried it with only one and the system ran out. Im thinking you can probably sustain 2 generators with 3 extractors if you need more power. My tank rests at 63% running what i have now. Thanks for the video, cant wait to learn more.

Only 10 hrs in and he figured out way more than I could. Bravo good sir, bravo

Quick tip, if you need a lot of iron fast, you can farm tons by shooting asteroids. The lumpy looking ones are usually water the concrete looking ones are usually iron and sometimes platinum palladium and other resources. Be careful though because you can get rocks permanently stuck around your ship when doing this so save before and check for any random rocks after just in case.

Outpost building goes more in depth than i thought holy this is gonna take hours if not days

I've been flying from system to system, scanning worlds, landing on various planets just to find the right planet to build on. I'm super picky, the world has to look just right, not baren, would prefer having it on an ocean coast or a forest, found a nice snowy mountain area on the coast that I finally think feels right. Really look forward to modders making planets more full, would like some dense forests on some

I would love to see you building a ship. Your unique creativity talent along with your min/max strategy, I'm sure you'll create some awesome looking and fully efficient ships!

Outpost cap with the skill maxed is 24. 8 to begin with and up to 16 from the skill.

Just a tip I found helpful, when using the laser cutter to gather resource nodes hold the right click and it charges the cutter making it about 4x quicker to extract resources

Just noticed you're not using the right-click laser for mining in your video clips. That makes it about 5x faster, highly recommend haha

Wayyyy you’re doing Starfield. Been watching you because of satisfactory. Glad to see you’re making these videos.

I loved settlement building in Fallout 4, so I am excited !

In the overhead building mode you can zoom in closer to your buildings by moving the mouse up for down

I loved the settlement building of f4, especially the expansions adding resource and factory gameplay, and the base building in f76 (allthough heavily monetized) was amazing too. Hope bethesda improves on the system for starfield as it is great, allthough barebones atm. For the love of god bring back placement of any loot items as decorations, im gutted i cant have my treasure museum yet..

I definitely hope they go deeper into outpost building and polish up the UI. It’s a lot better than fall out but I’d like to see a better snap tool I’d also like to see being able to build a trade alliance board so you can shop from your base. Maybe unlocked through a quest and needing the cargo link

How can anyone hate on this game? 10/10.

Can you please make a dedicated, in depth video on cargo links? It’s pretty straightforward...at first...but then it gets so damn complicated and confusing and just when I think I fixed the problem(s) i was having, like having a resource I’ve set up a dedicated extraction outpost for with cargo links and everything, not delivering the resource to my main storage/crafting outpost. I realize I’m still not receiving any of it. Also the specific problem I have at the moment is this: I have my main storage/crafting base with all three links going out to all my extraction posts. The key ones are my iron post and my tungsten post, two different ones mind you. I have the iron post and main base directly linked but since I’m already using all 3 of my links at base I can’t directly ship tungsten to it, which is a BIG problem. So I thought ok, I only have one link on my iron base, so I’ll just build a new link there and link my iron post to my tungsten post and have my all tungsten shipped to the iron post. Then I’ll connect the incoming tungsten pad box to my main storage box(the box that’s feeding the outgoing iron pad) at the iron post and the iron pad will now ship both my iron post mats and my tungsten post mats back to main base. But I’m receiving no tungsten. The only thing I can think of is: A.) I don’t have enough available storage at main base so my tungsten can’t be delivered because it has nowhere to go. B.) I’ve somehow not linked it properly but I’m almost positive I have. C.) The transport ship the cargo link pad spawns is not fast enough? Idk. D) It’s glitched E.) Something entirely unknown to me. Anybody that has any idea what to do is welcome to suggest a solution.

I won't touch any Bethesda games. But I appreciate the video and the glimpse of various aspects of gameplay so I can at least understand what people are talking about.

I've been waiting for a video like this. The other youtubers who tried to make them were confusing so I was waiting on a video from a fellow Satisfactory man to post a good outpost video. 😂

I have some Satisfactory vibes watching that !

Your channel for “Starfield” is my favorite and extremely helpful. Subbed. 😎

You are the best youtuber at explaining these outpost fundamentals, thanks very much 💯🙏

got excited with the outpost features. BUT, it still some refining and tweaking. Expansion of mechanics wouldnt be bad. Factory DLC! lol. another aspect (unsure) that might be weak is Space trucking.

I'm really excited for Starfield, I'm only about 20 hours in or so and enjoying the storyline and missions. I'm excited to see how the base building/ manufacturing works out as I've made a right mess of my first base. Also looking forward to space ship design, hopefully you'll do some more videos to cover these

Thanks bro I was holding off in case there was a quest to go along with it, but now I know there's not, I can start building !

Great guide. Kinda wish there was a mission to start outposts.

I'd love to see a big update to outpost building. I hope outpost defense becomes a thing where your outposts can be invaded.

Are your crews perks able to help with research or crafting? I have a crew mate with outpost building 2

Man, I put some chests down cause I was encumbered and figured I start building a base. Placed my chests down. Went back to my ship to grab all the inventory from the npcs. Go back outside and had a swarm of pirates all over me lol

i do believe its 24 as perks dont stack but get upgraded to the next tier

I am looking forward to get as much ore as possible with miners, so I can just build anything I want with no hassle.

Building factories and fleets would be cool, but as a space sim X4 does it pretty well

Honestly, I'd love for colonization to be an option if it isn't already. Building colonies to rent out to NPC colonists for a profit could be fun

The thing that's been annoying me is how HEAVILY invested you have to be in a single aspect of the game you have to be. I have 20 hours so far and I still can't build a base on an inhabital planet because I don't have the tech unlock, I focused more on actual combat perks.

Please make a more indepth tutorial on how the freight link works especially across systems. Mine do not seem to work as intented. My main base is on another system and I am farming Iron and Aluminium aswell as Helium on another planet. I made it such that the iron and aluminium get shipped to the interlink which is where I mine helium. Then I connected the 2 other incoming links to the outgoing interlink (on the planet I am mining on) and connecting it to the planet I have my base on. Ships fly but my ressources do not fill up. I put an hour into trying to fix it but I just cant and getting frustrated.

I built a random outpost and forgot the planet I put it on. I don’t even know if it still there or if it got attacked

Star field should implement the ability to build space outposts

Much more if this please. Not only about outposts. It also ship building eventually if you can please as well. I’m subscribing now as I love building games and haven’t seen other doing build guides for SF which are in dearth and specific.

Thanks for a helpful video! Still pretty new -- trying to understand why I would need an outpost.

This game feels like Mass Effect meets Fallout environment.

I just want to know what's the best planet, location, and order of building to get resources. Im not wanting to hang out on the planet, I just want resources for upgrades.

Right now, it's a nightmare finding and navigating to your outpost/s. When you land, you generate one landing area. Then you place your outpost. Then, say, you leave the planet and later on fast travel to back to your outpost. The game then auto generates a SECOND landing area about 400m away. Before you know it you've got like 3 or 4 map icons for ONE location. It's insane and I can't believe nobody picked this up in QA. Also means that your outpost map icon ends up underneath the landing zone icon. When there's no dedicated menu to view and travel to all your outposts, it's pretty rough. Currently planning to not do any building or resource extraction. Will use a ship as a base, and buy any required resources. To re-cap, they have somehow managed to make settlement building more frustrating than in FO4.

Omg TotalXclipse doing factory building in space!! What a fantastic intersection!

Not sure if you're playing on PC, but after entering the outpost building mode and pressing V to switch the perspective, you can zoom in/out by sliding your mouse forward and backward. Weird how its not indicated, I found it out while getting frustrated with how the perspective was lol

I needed this video thank you. I didn't even realise i could drop the outpost thing. Did i miss some massive mission 🤔

This alot of stuff to process...I;ll come back to this video once I get some caffine!

I give it about a month before we get a "satisfactory" mod for Starfield that adds foundations, belts and splitters/murgers! :) Haha, but seriously though - the base building in Starfield looks way more in-depth than I initially thought it'd be (I'm only a few hours in so haven't touched that yet), and I'm excited to start playing with it. It's great to see resource gathering and automation as part of it, and I'm sure there will be mods that add to/improve on that.

Your voice is honey and silk. Your video is informative and entertaining. Take. Me. Home.

I just wish you could put all resources in one bin like the workshop in fallout and not have to play around with inventory organization for building

Thank you thank you! This was so helpful!!

Can you make a video on how to get crew skills? I have a crew member with outpost management on a outpost but i cant use the skills.

I would like Bethesda to add a simple N, E, S, W, to your hud seeing as they didn’t bother with maps and way point markers in a Space Exploration Game .

You do end up needing defenses even on barren moons with no wildlife. Spacers will come to raid from time to time and wreck your stuff.

if you have a large ship u can still use the small landing platform you just have to turn it diagonally so ur ship can actually land i have a 39m by 34m ship and it still lands fine idk i think landing gear placement might have something to do with it too

I’m confused about the Cargo Link - Inter-System. I have helium, beryllium, and aluminum all at 1 outpost. I want to be able to transfer all of these materials to another outpost but the Cargo Link requires helium to operate. If I link the helium to the Cargo Link (outgoing) it gets no fuel. If I link it to the fuel pod, none of the helium goes to the output crate. I can’t seem to have it link from the fuel to the output crate so I can fuel the Cargo Link while also transferring the helium. Any help would be much appreciated

so I found a spot with copper and Aluminium and I can craft reactive gauges , problem is I still need to carry them from workbench to landing pad and they are heavy, so even if i produce 500 of them, I need to make 5 runs up and down the landing pad and 5 runs to the shop to sell them afterwards, convince me industry doesn't suck ... Am I missing something?

Hello, i would suggest aguide to outpost cargo link chain to craft high value xp or credits items for example the vytinium fuel rod would be greatly appreciated thank you very much for all your help

Just for people who are wondering why you can't build an outpost it isn't exactly just land then off you go pioneering, you have to be within 235 meters to be able to activate the beacon

Yes random pirates/factions will attack your bases. It doesn't say but depending on how much you've placed, seems to be how more likely you are to be raided. I tried to build a city, came back 3 times to it damaged and spacers/crimson fleet/Scarborough running around it

and how can i link more then just 1 cargo link to another one? i want a main base where all recources of the planest get send. for example i have a outpost with iron and another one with copper. how do i get both of those to 1 single base?

for anyone doing a lot of mining with the laser, do yourself a favor and ADS, as this won't slow you down, and improve the beam strength

I've only heard base building is 'end game' and mad expensive! But I guess it's worth having SOMETHING early on. Just to start stockpiling resources?

Has anyone figured out how to use rhe ship builder on the landing pad? I have one built but the kiosk does nothing so how do i use it??

For the outpost, is that per planet, system or the whole game? Man I love your content bro. I watched so many of your videos for Satisfactory, so happy to see you got Starfield.

Great video!

I'm trying to move over large amounts of resources in one go from the transfer container but I can only move 130 at a time out of the 7k I need to move, I have to exit the cargo hold menu on my ship and go back on to get the next 130 to show up in the transfer container, any ideas?

I can't get the Fabricator to output anything, I have a storage container with various resources in it linked to the fabricator and the fabricator is linked to the warehouse, I have solar power linked to the fabricator. I seem to have the resources to build/output Adaptive Frame when accessing the fabricator build list. So I can not figure out what is wrong. Is the fact I have lots of different resources in the storage container the problem? Edit: I worked it out, I needed 2 solar power units connected to the fabricator

I'd like to see more outpost stuff, but they need to fix what's already there first.

You need the planetary habitation skill to build on planets with hostile environments, inferno and deep freeze, extreme radiation, etc. it’s a great skill to have some of the most inhospitable planets and moons are my favorite.

Honestly, I think there gonna add the ability for us to build space stations I. The future

Solar system is what Sol is or any system that has a star. Galaxy is a cluster of Solar Sytems within it. The Universe is all we know and can see. So if you mean in the Universe of starfield that sentence is correct but please refrain from calling a system a Galaxy please. Love your videos

Honestly, I focused on getting outposts with Helium 3 so that I could refuel my ship. With just 3 outposts across the center of the map I was able to travel from Tau Ceti to Paradiso with the stock Frontier and no points in Astrodynamics without ever setting down in a Starpoint.

Fantastic guide, thank you!

you can zoom in on the top down outpost view you just gotta push your mouse up really weird control ik

Is there a way to see how many items can be build at an outpost? I noticed that some only can have half of that what others can.

I put down two solar generators. It still says producing zero power. It's super sunny currently. Any ideas what the problem could be?

You probably already figured it out, but for anyone late to the party, you can zoom in and out on angle view by moving the mouse up and down.

Quick and obvious question: Why is the height adjustment keys in base building different from that in ship building? They are doing the same job, no? And there are likely other differences in control scheme for otherwise identical functions.

I really can't wait for mods 😮

The number of outposts allowed... is that number of outpost buildings or the number of outpost locations (like a dozen or so planets/moons)?

Looks good!

I love the base building in this game.

is there a way to always spawn inside your ship whenever you land at your outpost? for some reason I always spawn outside my ship which is extremely annoying

So this is basically satisfactory, fallout, and no man's sky all in one game.

Im trying to put the armillary in the outpost but for some reason i cannot put the damn thing inside. Am i doing something wrong? Every time i try to put it inside it just puts itself on top of the building instead

I was surprised at how deep the crafting, settling and factory potential is in Starfield - Bethesda did good work Reminds me of Sim Settlements

I'm only level 15 but I have not seen any need for components that I would need an automated factory. Is there actually a use for mass produced components?

Pirates do attack. There was one time I teleported to my outpost and caught them crimson handed

I was in the middle building my base when I heard a ship fly over. I didn't think much of it till my companion pulled out her gun. What's this, you say? Pirates marched into my base and just started wrecking stuff! After I dealt with them I had to make repairs. Afterwards I got sentry robots and look out towers. Invest in those first especially on temperate worlds with fauna and other humans about.

Similar to satisfactory but with a space ships

I am "claiming ALL the steaks!"

Is it possible to make outpost generate credits full automaticly? Like setup npc trading routes or add an NPC that sell my resources automaticl or something like that?

Theres going to be ao many QoL updates and additional parts to build with in both the ship and outposts. Or at least i hope so. And if im right i cant wait

Hi there ! Any idea why my extractor and solar panels explod in front of me, no enemy, nothing happen except some BOOM .

Bethesda is not going to have add anymore to the building outpost or building ships. The modding community is going to more then take care of all that! Starfield already has insane depth to it. The modders are going add 50× the depth by the time they're done. From Quality of life mods Entire new Stories/side quest mods Ship mods Outpost mods Weapon mods Suit mods Planet mods Modders can add entire new planets Modders want to remove the invisible title walls-which could mean adding vehicles to traverse planets....etc...etc..etc Bethesda loves their games being modded. Modders have been waiting for Bethesda to create a game so big that it gives modders an almost truly infinite playground. & now they have it +on top of whatever else Bethesda adds to Starfield themselves!

No matter what I do the Cargo Link doesn't send stuff to the outgoing box. I cannot figure it out.

How in the heck to you link Caesium to the multiplex fabricator...you can't feed it in...and it only fits in the liquid container and the liquid container wont link to the multiplex fabricator. what am I doing wrong?
