Can we get a few more of these Cohh? Possibly one for ship customization. There's sooo much to this game that it doesn't seem to tell us. Learned a lot from this single video. Thanks!

I hope they go hard on "Outpost Building" in the elder scrolls six. I would love to put together my own village with houses and crop fields.

Thank you Best outpost tutorial and explanation on why I have found on KZfaq

I found aluminium, helium and iron in one spot. I kept landing at the borders of the resource map until I was right at the edge of a biome. So ice and tundra or desert and ice, etc. if you find a biome border like that and walk right down the border, you'll find places where they overlap and provide several resources in one base.

I actually hadn't thought of making a singular hub outpost. That's a really good idea. Kind of like having all the other outposts generating the raw materials and then having one hub that receives everything as your industrial/production hub with the finished products to sell and make credits.

Managed to export Helium 3 from my main base to power other pads across the network. It was kind of strange at first to get the pads started, but it was automated after the first couple of trips. Haven't tried it with all the pads across the network or on a larger scale, but seems possible. A lot easier than using extractors on every planet. You just have to connect the incoming to the Helium 3 tank on the pad.

You explained everything really well! Since you're limited by 3 cargo links per base at the start, you gotta funnel through other outposts to get your stuff to the main base. Makes sense! Thanks for the video! Inspired me even more to keep building. Edit: One more tip I saw on Reddit. It can be pretty smart to do a mobile outpost. Basically an outpost with just extractors and power generators. Super basic. Set it up, and when you're done, you can easily tear everything down. Set up in a place with another resource you need. I'll probably have all my outposts slots capped except for my main hub and my mobile outpost.

I _literally_ yelled "sonovabitch" when you pointed out that window for available resources when placing the outpost beacon. I spent at LEAST an hour trying to work out where to position a beacon to get all 5 resources on my first planetary outpost (I really lucked out). It's also HUGELY helpful knowing that the scanning skill lets me see where resources are from the orbital view. Kudos man, you saved me a MASSIVE amount of headache with this video.

Finally someone explained how important and useful the “Scanning” perk is. Thank you sir. Gained a sub

Cohh must have been a teacher or something in a former life he's ability to explain things in layman terms is exceptional! Thanks Cohh

I totally found that method for scanning for the perfect base by accident... and got my first quad exctractor going. great guide and lookig forward to the next one

This whole video was very useful, but I think the most useful thing to me was the tip about pressing "R" in order highlight resources from vendors. Thank you very much!

Oh man. The tip about scanning available resources with the outpost saves so much time. Thank you!

The best teachers do so without even trying. I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how to assign crew to outposts but hadn't got to the point of looking it up. Just by chance you had one of the build menus showing "crew stations" on screen and that was enough. Don't know why i hadn't see it before!

Love me some Cohh's Top Tips, super useful this one, thanks!

One thing that can help you plan all of this (certainly helped me a lot): make a graphic about your outposts! Name them, name all the elements they gather. Add the amount of links you have and connect them all with lines. Make your main base on top and then like a pyramid add all the other outposts beneath you've connected to!

Skills of the trade. 📝(1:11) 3:00 Location, location, location. 🌐🪐 7:35 Construction. 🚩🏗 11:40 Trade networks. ↔🌐 On an unrelated note, caught up. For now. ✅

Still haven't even played the game yet, but this is good to know going in! Definitely something I wish Bethesda expanded on beforehand. I was originally thinking I wasn't even going to bother with them because they were "just for fun", but after this...I think I'm going to have far too many. Lol. Always love just seeing the bases you create as well. I too spend FAR too much time making my bases in games as perfect as can be. *Fallout 4 PTSD flashbacks*

Finally I got it, I wasn´t getting how the hell make the resources travel to my main base. Thank you so much for your clear explanation!

If you ignore the resource indicators and zoom in as far as you can, as you click around it will tell you what biome each "pixel" is. Shoot for one of the pixels where the next pixel over is a different biome, and your area will contain the resources from both biomes along the edge of the transition. For instance, find Craters and Mountains if you want Iron and Aluminum.

Now THIS is the kind of video that'll convince me to buy the game! I've been hesitating because I'll need a gpu upgrade to play it, but it's looking more and more like it might be worth it.

Best way to find spot multiple resources is to search not only where resources colours seems to border each other but where BIOMES border!! 👍🏻 Also dont use F to search best location but bring out outpost beacon which will show you what resources will you be able to extract in your outpost radius!

Holy jesus that ship has some storage! I need one like that. I am stuck on my crappy A class and have filled it's pockets, my pockets, and my adoring fan's pockets full of crafting mats.

Great pedagogical guide. Thanks. ( for those who do not know : pedagogical means educational, good teaching, good structure for others to understand )

I've been searching for a decent video that helps me understand the basics of outpost building. I'm very new to this kind of thing and won't lie, intimidated by it. Even understanding all the ship building elements. So glad Ive found your channel. Instant subscribe and saving to my starfield playlist for a playlist of help and information basically.

That was clear as mud ;) Seriously, well done! Thanks for you effort & time on this video.

Ooooh.. that's why I don't see a crap on that planetary scanner. Best guide officially. Thanks! UPD: The only thing it's missing is the rule that if a container is full, than surpluss will be stored in previous cont in chain. So they all have to be chained from extractor to loading module.

This video was really helpful. I basically didn't know any of this stuff. Very cool indeed. Thanks for posting it sir.

Great Video! Main issue i have with outpost is that they are basically only needed if you want outposts. There is no other use for the resources you get from them except more outposts. For weapon/armor crafting you can just buy the resources and ship upgrades only take credits too. Skipping outposts allows for more useful combat skills which further increase your player power.

Answered SOOOO Many questions so I didnt have to fumble around. Will need to go delete my first two little outposts and do it right now. The Ship building and base building in this game is pretty fun to me.

Thanks for the tutorial, I started to watch your content just a few weeks ago and you already becoming one of my main source for gaming. Continue the great work !

Cool man. Loved it. I'll probably watch this 5-6 more times for the tech info...

Hey Cohh, it seems that resources spawn in biomes and you actually want to create outposts on the border of two different biomes to maximize resources per outpost. Certain planets will only have x on "mountain" biomes and y in "craters" biomes, but if you're on the border of both biomes you can find a spot containing both x and y. I've triple/quadruple dipped into resources this way. (Be/Fe/Al/He-3 in one outpost, for example)

Awesome vid man! Well planned and easily explained! I just started but I believe the circle around the extractors acts as a barrier for more extractors on that node..

The circle around extractors indicates how far you should set them apart for best efficiency if you have multiple extractors

Stumbled into this video ime glad that i did just what i needed been struggling with the outpost building …you got a new sub 👍🏻

Great video Cohh this has helped me a lot!

Great video! It is very helpful with understanding the cargo link stuff.

I have a relay system to get around the 3 cargo link limit.. have a 3rd base deliver to the 2nd base the 2nd delivers to home.. in the 2nd I have a cargo container that takes the incoming cargo then it goes into the outgoing cargo.. saves some links

I wish I knew this before the release on 6th cuz my first outpost has only aluminium, a few hundred meters away I created an outpost with beryllium and helium after learning more about outposts through trial and error, but today I explored a bit behind the first outpost, and there it is, a place with beryllium, aluminium and helium all in 1 place, now I feel like I wasted a few hours for the outposts and could've created a single mega extraction hub right under my nose lmao, also, now I wonder if its the same case for a few of my other outposts. Thanks for the vid, extremely helpful and ur NG+ vids are wonderful, watched both of em, hopefully you create many more like these.

Fallout 4: Talk to a settler, have him connect these 2 settlements with a trade route. GG. Starfield: ok, so you want to place this pad for outgoing, have it linked to this other pad to send it to this pad in this system, but what you want to do is connect this link right here to a helium, but only for the pad between systems, the intersystem pad doesnt require it, ok now that you got this helium, what youre going to want to do..."

Thanks man! Awesome video, very easy to understand!!

Helpful vid. 😄 Nearly 75 hours played and I've only dipped my toes into outpost building so far. Placed a simple outpost on Polvo on the shore of a lake, and I intend to eventually built it as a nice player home, just a quick jump in between Cheyenne on one side and Alpha Centauri on the other.

When you NG+ you loose all the stuff you built right?

Bob the Builder, nice throwback! Cohh the Constructor.

It's not the border between colored resources on the map, its the border between biomes that's important. If you land on a map tile that borders two different biomes, you will find the map divided in two. If you run along that divide you can find locations that have all the resources from both biomes potentially (in rare perfect planet/location scenarios) allowing you to get all 8 resources in one outpost. So far 7 is the most i've been able to tag in one base, but based on how it works I'm confident there are 8 resource base locations out there somewhere if you have the patience to find them. Longer explanation: - Max planetary scanning. - when you mouse over a resource on the planetary map and click on it, pay attention to the Biome (e.g. swamp, mountains etc). list the resources for each biome this way. - Now look for the two biomes that combined have the most different resources. - Now zoom in on the planet (you can ignore the resource overlay now, its not exclusive) and carefully click to select a location, then click again to remove. Move mouse a bit in a direction and keep doing this till the biome changes. select a location right on the border, and you'll get those two biomes. - Land and open the map. Although terrible, you should be able to see the difference in terrain. This is the boundary between the biomes. Run along this with the outpost placer up so you can always see the potential resources. Keep running along the boundary waving the base locator left and right and eventually you'll start seeing 5-6 (rarely 7, maybe 8) resources. You'll know your in the right general area because the biomes are generally very distinct (e.g. white snow on the left and brown sand on the right, or flat plains on the left and hills/mountains on the right etc). - Place the base, go to birds eye view and check where each resource is within your base buildable area. Make small adjustments by dismantling your outpost beacon, moving a few meters and rebuilding until you can comfortably build on all the resources. Crafting a buttload of AMP or frostwolf makes the process a bit less painful. As a bonus you might end up with flora/fauna you can harvest too.

Wish I watched this yesterday - spent a long time trying to work out the cargo pads and how to do the mission to link supplies to Jemisom city

Building on borders between biomes works well too if you have drastically different resources between them, there's hotspots where they overlap and its visually striking on the surface of the planet

I really like your tutorials and explanations. It's like I'm watching a python programming tutorial.

excellent vid bud, helped me a lot. keep up the good work

This is so cool and a great video. Looking forward to changing my route to emphasize on extracting resources via outposts and extractors

Great video! “If you are not over encumbered you are not doing it right.” LOL! Damn right, brother!

best starfield outpost guide ive ever seen in my life good stuff

I've got multiple outposts with 3 & 4 resources. From what I can tell it has a lot to do with biome and geographical features and those rarer resources are more likely to be at the outer edge of the map and along biome lines where the biome changes within the map. So on planet maps where you click to land, it tells you the biome you're landing in, so the idea is to find resources on the map near each other, near where those biomes change. Otherwise, look for geographical features as you run around, on a flat map with distant mountain ranges? Check near the mountains. Its a time sink, but if you don't want to invest a lot time level for points to get more outposts, its worth it.

Definitely need a video/guide for building that ship! THAT IS A SLICK LOOMING SHIP!! 🔥 🔥 thanks for outpost guide Cohh, well done!

do you get the resources you require to build an outpost/structure back, once you delete the entire outpost or single structure?

I learned a lot from this Cohh University class. Super informative, and its demystified outpost building for me. Thanks!

Great video thanks for the information. If I am not mistaken the circle on the extractors is the distance each extractor has to be from another.

Tip on accessing ship cargo w/o getting abord. If you are close to it, just go to menu -> ship -> cargo (X button on controller). If you are too far it won't work. But within the outpost area, it always works.

only halfway through, and this has rekindled my desire to actually try building outposts lol thanks cohh! hmmmmmmm i think im going to start a new playthrough on normal and see if i can build something like this haha and last comment. i absolutely love the application of BGSs outpost or settlement building system in Starfield. i never was interested in building in fallout, but here, it is very practical!

Resources are layered on the scan, Gagarin for example at 3:45 Chlorosilanes is the top layer, Chlorine is the middle layer and water is the bottom layer, or on Grissom , the Iron is on top of the helium, so you can land smack dab in the middle of an iron patach and you will get the helium under it too, you have to look closely to the way the resources are layered with each other and you will see multiple stacked often.

You can control the flow of resources by placing electrical switches to turn on/off the extractors or processors.

This was soooo informative! I had no idea it was this detailed. I don't have any base building perks yet. I'm only level 12 but this gives me a good idea on how to build my character moving forward as I loved settlement building in Fallout 4!

Probably the most precise and on the point video regarding resource chaining. Though I was hoping that you'd tell us that some unlocks will offer resource filters, limits, and sorting. Too bad. It's clear that it will never be a Satisfactory, but a little bit more control would go a long way.

i thank you can have followers work at base use their skills like on your ship

Best way to get multiple resources is to straddle biomes as resources seem to be linked to biomes. So walk to the edges of the resources as ship landing isn’t particularly accurate. Once there do the put down outpost trick while walking along the edges.

Thanks for this! Had issues wrapping my head around how to funnel everything to my main base

Thank you you just gained a new follower

I usually do not comment on videos, with that said I must say I got a very big laugh out of " if you are not incumbered you are doing it wrong." Could not have been a truer statement with this one I thought Skyrim was bad. Great video thatnks

Thank you Cohh!

VERY helpful video! But I hit subscribe because I like your overall mood, good communication skills, sarcastic humor the same as my own, AND the cat tree.

i have so much respect for you man, being professional and entertaining in your videos, while still getting a sneak-peek for daddy side i honestly dont understand why ign and other trashtubers have so many subscribers but you ( or Lobos ) dont edit: what if you make a storage for helium and connect it to the pads ? would that work on worlds where there is no natural helium ?

Just a note, you said the inter system cargo link should be planets with helium. But you only really need it in that system somewhere, since you can use a normal cargo link to pipe it in.

Thanks for this! Most other build videos are like an hour long. I'd lose interest before they ever got to the point 😅

Great video lots of help...Thanks Cohh!! I am really surprised they didnt do a better tutorial for this since its such a big part of the game.

It's crazy how the game just doesn't explain this to you very well at all... I never realized this was even possible. Thank you! I finally have a reason to go building these bases.

This should be in a tutorial of the game..... But luckily I stumbled on this vid... 😃 Subbed this, since I'm going to learn a lot of you 😅 Thanks 😁👍

Thx for the good explanation. I hope you do an explanation on the storage to ship. I think it means you do not need to land to collect the resources. Also what is the use to assign a companion to an outpost?

Thanks. Very helpful!

Cohh, If you're close to your ship you can open up the scanner and do transfer that way with a button press.

One thing I still have a question about is for the intersystem cargo links. You build the first, supply it with helium, do you then need to supply the receiving 2nd pad with helium as well? If the 2nd pad is just for receiving at my main base do I gotta supply it as well? This might be easily answered when I build it myself. I’m just not at that point yet.

Hey this is gold thanks for sharing

I would have never figured this out thank you

When I got a water reminder in the corner of the vid I knew this was gonna be good.

Very informative video! Thanks

Thank you this is sound will take me hours to do

You mention at the end that storages are independant, and there's no way to share resources, however, you can daisy-chain them together, and they shuffle resources along until they're all full... For example, 3 solid storage, A, B, C... Link them together, with A being the first, and C being the last in the chain... C will fill up first, then B, then A, then you stop producing that resource until more storage is available...

I'm liking these, it's the second I've watched. I think chapters would help though.

Great advice! Thanks!

This game is a crazy deep rabbit hole!

Thank you so much Cohh. I dropped an outpost and exited it out and couldn’t figure out how to reopen the build menu.

You didn't have to run to your ship. You can go to ship and cargo hold in your menu and transfer everything to you cargo hold. Then you can fast travel with out running back. Much faster.

One thing I want to know before I get started myself that you didn't went over is the defenses. How much do you need or are a couple of turrets enough?

Very well done video. Thanks for clarifying and showing how this works.

Great video. Thanks!

Thx! Now i have a good idea!

Wow, how good Cohh is in those tutorial videos! Perfectly structured, no side tracking, clear and on the point! He should do this much more often!

Thanks Cohh! I'm still very very very far from this but I'll definitely remember the tips big dog!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

I got a bit lucky when placing my second outpost and got 3 resources, Helium, Beryllium and Aluminium which has come in really handy because (at least early on) a lot of things are powered by Helium, like generators and cargo links, so my secondary outpost is not only fueling itself, but my other outpost too
