For most of my entire playthrough, just below 200 hours so far... it have really been bugging the crap out of me that I could only use the small containers... Then a few minutes in, in this video, you show that there are different tiers to some of the object.... DAMMIT! and thank you 😆

For perfect corners, just let the corner snap in the direction of the first wall, and then use the move option to rotate it in the same place. This way you see both the original angle and the one you're moving at the same time. It's the easiest way to make sure you're actually making it 90 degrees

Everyone has a different solution for perfect corners but mine is the castle method. make one of your walls taller than the other in that specific corner and the frame will auto fill below it. There is a way to make the top of the container go at 1 cube over the other using the single cube container. It completes the wall in a way that's impenetrable. I call it the castle method cause the corners are taller than the walls are.

Very cool. Great tip about putting down rugs to remove terrain.

Great ideas! In order to not worry so much about meeting in the final corner, consider starting the wall behind the landing pad. In this way, the slightly off/disconnect will happen at the front gate where you already have to do custom stuff anyway.

Excellent video. I’ve had issues with spacer raids on my compound. This fort will enhance my drug lord fantasy.

LOVE your outpost builds! Will ramp up my Amp RV to this build!

I think no one is the first, don't think we will ever truly determine that. We all got our different designs and hopefully they come up with walls in a future update. I use the small container to build mine but like the idea of sticking a container out and making a corner that way. The real trick is learning how to make a complete circle. That took me a long time to master.

I use console command to lay grids with storage on every tiles, using beacon as centre point, then decide how & where to place the buildings. Very very teadious process.

Liked and subscribed. Love this base. I am absolutely copying this tutorial. Thanks mate. Keep up the great work 💪👍

TactiCat, I would swap power to the oxygen one, gives you around 10 secs of infinite air supply, makes it possible to move around without worry during that time :) Thanks for the heart 😄. Unfortunally it seems to be undeserved, I just tested it again (Thought I had already), and the oxygen doesn't give you unlimited air, when so overencumbered it does actually drain the air, although at a slower rate, so I'd still opt for that, but it's not at all infinite...

Walter whitestar! That’s awesome!

neat video :) Scroll in when you are in overhead mode trying to line up wall corners. Being closer lets you move less. Also when you are placing a corner and it is just too close or too far, instead of deleting it and trying again you should "move it" ( E button) it will start as a yellow box and you can use that to judge where you should move it! ( again in CLOSE VIEW!) lol sorry it was painful to watch :D. THe in and out of view to place new wall will be a life saver lol thx

If you don’t already know, there are a bunch of settings in the main menu controls section for adjusting the outpost speed and angles of the camera and rotation.

"Pretty annoying as shit" sums up the entire outpost creation system. It feels like they've taken all the worst design decisions possible - snapping for boxes, but you still need to link their inventories, arbitrary rotation, no snapping for solar panel but we'll put them on a square base, solar panel rotation resets after placing each one... and on and on, it's death by a thousand papercuts.

I used a simple fabricator to mark the spot so the next time i placed one down it would show me forward our back that's how i am doing it it take time but you can gut it 6" a part works for me .

When you turn the corner it is better to be in the ground level view mode where you can place the containers running the right angle direction. I did a wall for the entire circle perimeter in the flat savannah and part on a small mountain.

The Rug strat is genius!

Been playing almost 300 hours, tons of outposts, very hard, never had one ecliptic attack

You don’t have to tab out for storage units to snap to the right location. You can just hover over the spot you showed us and it’ll snap to it after a second or two.

great vid! but be careful moving your outpost beacon currently, as many folks (myself included) have ran into bugs where if you try to open your menus after moving it it will cause you to crash to desktop/dashboard and rebooting doesnt fix the issue, so you have to revert a save

i seen you trying to align items by going side to side at a 90 degree angle. Try rotating camera and align by going back and forward, rotating slightly to move the item by small increments.

I'm gonna try this, I'm wondering if you can use other structures/habs/pads for sections of the wall/corners to give it even more of a fortress look? The entry point looks cool but I'm wondering if it's necessary, or just funnel/narrow it even more.

I hope we get a patch soon for some of the outpost bugs. My outpost management skill stopped working so now I can only use 3 cargo links and after a day or so every base starts getting the weird lines through it which then messes up the few cargo links I have

Great guide TacticalCat I love how meticulous you are about how things look and are spaced. Would choosing some of the spacing on the corners and stuff be easier in 1st person instead of top view?

The first time my outpost got attacked by Ecliptic mercenaries was enough

When u think about the construction and production of the game what does it really do and how mutch of it do u really need. Even with just 1 extractor u can produce an enormouse amount of resources over a small amount of time with very little to actually spend it on. Why isent resource extraction and production tied to ship construction in any way. Resource production should be 1 of the core mechanics for u to be able to build your own ships. The way it is now the main usage of any kind of construction is to exploit the xp system. Why are u getting player xp for construction in the first place? It worked in Skyrim becouse by crafting u could lvl up your crafting abilitys. But in Starfield it directly effects your caracter lvl, why? There is no chans they dident se that ppl would use crafting just to power lvl there caracter to oblivion (pun unintended) so why even have it give xp at all.

Have you tried putting your guns on the walkway so they can shoot down onto targets rather then inside your base? Good stuff all around.

And I thought the hydro outpost modules were to grow plants. The outpost hab modules really serve little to no purpose.

Walking around 100x overloaded is the daily life of a outpost builder in Starfield 😂

Do pirate raids happen enough to need all these defenses? I've played over 500 hours and have 6 outposts and have been attacked 3 times total. I do like that barrier wall though!

How do you swap where you snap to without moving around? You often cycle through snap points, I definitely missed something

Nice outpost but how to you address the vendor money limit when selling all this amp? Seems to me that would be the bottleneck.

Great build. But I hope that in the near future modders will create a mod for real walls.. 👈👈

Why do you even need an entry point.

Why are you using the personal atmosphere power instead of just wearing your suit?

Imagine a game that lets you build walls.
