All my homies hate Androphon Andies. ENDGAME OUTPOST: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrKoq6SQmJ-ZiHU.html I MADE A TIKTOK TO STOP THIEVES- www.tiktok.com/@thevashcowaii FOR THOSE STRUGGLING TO FIND THE SPOT: Like I said in the video, you gotta look and find where the zones meet BEFORE landing. I'm talking pixels of difference, It's a matter of precision, not luck, people are able to find this and it's not just me. Sometimes the area will generate with very slight differences, so look around after you land and just go for biome intersection before complaining you can't find it. If it helps, save before making a landing point so you don't have to deal with a landing area on the map if you don't find it on the first try. People reporting they're finding "all but one" material are usually later editing their own comments to say they were on the wrong side of the mountain. Gotta wander around my guys, but the most important part is finding the biome intersection. MACRO - GENERAL IDEA: -E press -50ms wait -E release -50ms wait -left click down -50ms wait -left click release -50ms wait -E press -50ms wait -E release Settings: -Trigger: Toggle -Repeat: Constantly -Repeat Delay: 200ms You can factor in mouse positioning if you would like, but otherwise the idea is that you leave your mouse in a position to click the amount up to 99, and E selects the recipe and finishes the batch craft before the 200ms delay kicks in before the next cycle starts.

Even if you don't end up using this exact spot, this is an amazing tutorial on how the Outposts function without exposing much else of the game. Thank you and well done.

Easily the best possible starter farm. One improvement tho to the selling method, Akila City has a Trade Authority (behind the bar on the right side after entrering the city) that also has a chair inside it literally similiar as on the video, but with the difference that it has 11000 credits instead of 5000. That way selling stuff becomes over 2x faster.

Please for the love of God continue to do explainers like this for Starfield. Extremely informative and actually hilarious. Love the content bro!

WARNING! Please save before landing on the planet. Make sure to choose the Mountains biome from the star map before landing. Despite Vash's insistence that the location is pixel perfect on the map, the landing spot doesn't have to be that incredible precise. As long as you choose to land in the Mountains region close to that area on the map as seen in the video, the game actually pulls a random map seed out of a predetermined list for you to explore. After landing, look for the black peek next to the coral beds as seen in the video and if you don't find the correct materials after some searching, then reload from your previous save and try again. All you're doing is trying to re-roll the same map seed as Vash shows in his video. It took me several tries to get the same exact spot. The problem I had was that I landed in that spot with the wrong map seed and I think it saves that seed once you land there. I couldn't figure out a way to remove the map seed so I had to load from an early save before entering the system.

For those who are having trouble finding it, like me, you need to land in the mountain part once you find your cross section. I kept landing in the rocky desert and mine looked nothing like the video and didn't have the biome split. The moment I landed a pixel over in the Mountain biome, the black peak was right in front of me and I could get all 5 resources.

I appreciate the "no bs" approach. You give it cut and dry while not skipping tiny details. Love the vids

Tips for finding this spot: 1) SAVE your game from the ship orbiting the planet. This is where you will restart many many times if you miss the landing spot. a) If you didn't save and you get the wrong spot, you will now have a "Landing Spot" obscuring that entire area on the planet map. To remove that spot, you have to land FIVE times in other spots on the planet. On the fifth time, your first LZ should disappear and you can retry. SAVE this time! (I did this method lol) 2) You want PIXEL difference in biomes. Try to find the general location using the planet map at 1:48, then click once. Your selected landing spot should say desert/hill/mountain. Now click again to remove it. Now find a spot where moving one PIXEL changes biome. What worked for me: One PIXEL down, Hills. One PIXEL up, Mountain. One PIXEL left, Desert. I found Mountain again and finally clicked X to land. 3) You are picking this precise spot for the sole reason of finding the mountain in 2:07. If you get out and can't find the mountain, LEAVE / RELOAD. a) Keep in mind you could possibly land on the other side of the mountain! You don't have to land in the exact location in 2:07, just find that mountain. It's fairly easy to identify if you hit the general area. 4) Then start looking for the spot at 2:35. His jumpcut between 2:31 and 2:35 is disappointing because I had no idea where exactly he was! From the landing point at 2:07, his spot is to the right on the base of the mountain, down in the area that looks like water (but it's not). However, the important point is to go around the base of the mountain and try to find a spot where you get a bunch of minerals. You can try his area but he implies it could be anywhere around that mountain base. 5) If you don't get the minerals you want (example: platinum, but no aluminum) try reloading! Now that you know where it is, it's just a matter of forcing the game to procedurally generate that area again. 6) I don't think a surface map screenshot would help anyone find this because I believe the various areas of interest are procedurally generated too. For example, from my outpost, I have an unknown to the SE and one to the NW. Others have reported different landmarks.

1) Thank you for this, it is awesome! 2) If anyone is still struggling with finding the spot: Go to 1:45 of the video and pause. Just to the left of the landing zone, you'll see 3 little dark dots. I lined my landing diamond up such that the spot closest to us was centered with the upper left portion of the diamond. Like the dots make an arrow pointing to where you want to land (slightly lower than where Vash Cowaii has theirs at this point in the video). Find the biomes, be sure the mountain is selected, land. Look left, that's the mountain. You want to be on the right-hand slope of that mountain (where you see the most colors). WARNING: Some folks recreating this vid are putting it in the wrong area. - There is another 5 resource spot nearby, but it has Platinum, not Aluminum. No Aluminum means you can't trigger the rest. 3) Build turrets! My second sleep cycle ended and a squad of pirates came storming in and attacked wind turbines. The did a lot of damage before I was able to take them all out. @Vash Cowaii Thank you again!!!

For people on PC struggling to find the spot, turn your mouse sensitivity all the way down. I set mine to 200dpi. The pixel you want will say mountains, but one pixel left says desert and one down says hills. Once I figured that out I could do it completely consistently. For me personally I do this with 3 outposts instead of 1 so I can get more resources per resource type at once, with all 3 outposts almost overlapping with the final container for each material type being near each other at the edges.

I wish they had lines of latitude and longitude. Would make finding this so much easier

This is a GREAT starter outpost. I only have recommendation: Instead of selling your stuff to the Shepheard shop, I actually HIGHLY recommend going to he trade authority (still in Akilah city, behind Galbank). It has a chair right next to the NPC (like the Shepheard shop), but it has 11000 credits instead of 5000.

For those of you who can't find the spot, where he lands he's on one side of the mountain, but the spot with the five resources is exactly on the other side (more on the Mesa area). So walk around the mountain for a bit. I found it in ~ 10 minutes. Great guide, Vash!

Time stamps for specifics to get started: 1:17 - resources, 1:28 - system, 1:55 - planet landing spot, 2:36 - resources to setup on.

Fantastic guide, most outpost xp farms usually look stressing and arduous more than anything but this one was easy and only took 30 min to set up. I did calculations for controller players, and once set up, the process to sleep/craft/reset takes about 3 mins for 7500xp (10hr sleep/16 storage crates per resource/4 extractors each). The location was the most annoying part to find but once i did the rest went well. Much thx

I must have a mental disability, because I saw this video a week ago, and could not for the life of me find the right spot. Searched my ass off for the right location, and then again for the right spot to put down an outpost that had all the right resources. I gave up. Then tonight, I find it first damned try. Thank you for this. If anyone needs me, I'll be toiling away making adaptive frames to supply the entire universe.

Dude, this was such a help. Make more Starfield content. I beg you. As for everyone saying this doesn’t work on the Xbox, they are incorrect. I decided to check this on my Xbox, & although it was much more difficult to manipulate the cursor so finely as to only move a few pixels at a time, I did find the spot. One other caveat is that the black peak mountain is not directly adjacent to the landing area. So just know this - if you land just barely inside the mountain line of the 3-biome zone, first make sure all 3 are present & then look for dark buttes in the distance. This was the only area I landed in within the 3-biome zone on the Xbox that had these buttes, which I recognized from the PC spot. The dark peak mountain on the Xbox was much further away from my ship than the PC version as well, like over/around an entire other mountain, so don’t be afraid to explore a bit if those buttes are present.

Legend, thank you. I watched two outpost videos and they both said Androphon was the optimal planet to use and no other had iron and aluminum together. Each of their productions were sloppy and I had to use ideas from both to create it, your guide however blows them out of the water. You sir, are a Legend.

This is the first video I've watched about outposts, that's actually made me want to build one! 😅

My boss sent me this video. As apposed to other KZfaq guides, this actually was EASIER to do than it seemed like it would be. I started a whole new play through just so I wouldn’t waste that sweet sweet XP. Thanks for such a clear and well organized video!

This has to be the best explanation to outposts I’ve come across. You have the ability to explain a topic which may seem overwhelming to some, in a digestible manner. Kudos to you!

if anyone struggling finding the exact or similar spot like I did searching for 3 hours, just make sure you are looking after a BLACK ground, for some reason the intersections between Hill, Rocky Desert and Mountains is a very very black soil, if you actually lucky enough or wait enough for daytime, the black area will be much easier to find from far as well, very important if you landed in the wrong area but very close to correct one and want to fix the exact pixel of landing, you can remove you big landing mark on map by just put down one outpost beacon close to your ship before take off, go to it and hold R to delete that outpost , then fly away and your landing mark is no more. then try to find the correct landing spot once again until you find the spot.

I just followed the steps and have an outpost up and running. It took a few tries (Xbox) but I finally saw the black peak you showed in the video. I actually landed on the other side of it and scrambled to the correct side. At any rate... loved the great info, the calling out other creators that just regurgitate each other's content, and the no fluff presentation. Subbed and looking forward to more Starfield vids.

Xbox Series X Found this exact location, by using the Comments and the Video for reference. 2:07 that Black Mountain, is key to finding it. If you land and see that exact Mountain, youre very close to it If you have multiple Landing Site Markers on the map, land at each of them and drop an Outpost. Remove Outpost, get back in your ship. Take off and then look at the Map. The Marker will be gone. Hope this helps.

I was able to get it after reloading my save maybe 5 times. I am playing on Xbox. When finding your landing zone: there are dark 3 dots on the scanned view of the planet to the upper left of the "Australia" looking iron deposit. If you make a line straight up from the 2 orange nickel deposits and line up your landing icon so the bottom dot is slightly left and above the left corner of the icon, that will be the area. Make sure that you are in the mountain region, but the hills and rocky desert are only a pixel or two away zoomed all the way in. I kept getting platinum instead of either iron or aluminum, but on my fifth or sixth save reload I found it no problem. With a little patience you should have no problems. Happy exploring everyone!

Best Starfield video in all of youtube. No useless conversation, no spoil, nothing but pure information with video support. And a nice tackle on people talking about stuff they clearly don't understand. Thank you !

I found this planet by accident following a quest. When I went to sleep before the mission, I was shocked that no one was talking about how awesome this planet is.

Took me 6-7 tries to get the right spot. Half the times I landed, there was no black mountain. Sometimes there was a black mountain, but Platinum instead of Aluminum, or the Iron vein didn't extend far enough to be reachable.

My god! Finding the right spot was more challenging then beating Mass effect on Nightmare Mode. This shit had me looking for 4 hours and some change. However I'm so fucking happy I could care less how long it took I'm loving it xD

Thank god I waited on making outposts you've always got the holy grail of information.

Came for the content, stayed for the commentary! Love the no BS, straight to the point info. Excellent video my dude.

Dude....after watching about 20 videos on how to do these outposts, and still struggling on how to make and utilize outpost properly, i came upon yours...simple...well explained...and no nonsence filler. Thank you i am now making these outposts like a pro....please continue these "starfield videos for dummies", tremendously helpful...you definately earned a sub...

This is one of the best made video game guides I've ever watched, extremely simple and gets right to the point while also explaining everything as in depth as it needs to be, nothing more nothing less, thank you for this!

For those who can't find it once landing on Xbox. To remove your landing spot, make 3-5 landing spots in a different area and it'll remove that landing spot. Next, before you go to the area located in the video, save the game. Now that you've saved the game, find the 3 biomes close to each other, click to find the right spot and make sure you're in the mountains. If you've done it correctly, you should see the black mountain close by. Hope this helps!

Can confirm it is possible Xbox peeps. Tried for 3 hours last night & went to bed annoyed. Got it first try in under 10 minutes today. Focus more on choosing a landing location showing the 3 biomes than running around. If I stand at my beacon, there is an unknown structure 634M NE of my location, & another unknown structure 784M almost due W if it helps. Sorry I haven’t explored more to know their actual names. Keep your heads up!

SAVE THE GAME BEFORE YOU LAND ON THE PLANET. As of Dec 29 2023, can confirm. The landing placement is crucial. Pay very close attention to where his cursor is on the map and copy that exactly. The black mountain will be about 200 meters to the front left of your ship. This video actually proves 2 things. First, everyone has the same landing sites, and the planets are not randomly generated like previously thought. Although, a single pixel off may change the outcome. Again, save the game before you make a landing point on the planet. If you dont find the mountain within about 1 minute, reload and re land in a different spot. Took me two tries to find it.

No hyperbole - This has been the single-most beneficial video for my adventures in Starfield. Thank you!

I wasn't going to bother with outposts, but you sold me. following your tips now. thanks for the post

This is the first outpost video that made sense to me and laid things out in a very understandable way.

Found the spot as of 28 Sept. This is what I did 1) Put clear tape on the screen I'm playing on and used youtube Fullscreen on the same monitor. 2) Mark the 3 dots on the top left of his landing point. 3) Roughly where his point is look for mountains, Then slight left should be the desert variant, go back to mountains, then slightly down should be the hills. Go back up slightly to mountains and select it. (turn your mouse or controller sensitivity down for this) 4) When you land you should have a satellite dish behind you, and a structure in front of you, that's to the left of the black top hill. 5) The black top hill in front of you is the hill he is talking about 6) Go to the right of the base of the hill and you should find the 5 resources. 7) Watch the rest of the video.

It's tricky to find that one sweet spot on the planet where the biomes intersect and then a real royal pain to actually find that little patch of land on the surface, but once you do, boy is it indeed worth it. Really appreciate this video - this location is indeed a massive resource generator and money-maker.

If only all KZfaq tutorials were this clear. Thank you.

Wait... this is too simple. Thanks for this! Kind of a shame selling is such a PITA - to bad you can't have a crew member handle the selling chore(s) so you could do something else.

Finally someone who has a concept of how to create a video that's not annoying and but rather objective and calm. Otherwise, these kind of videos are made in the overwhelming majority by extremely un-relaxed sweaty energydrink-addicts with a speak pattern of a mental flippin' hummingbird

Great video...subbed. Immediately after watching, I found the exact site on my first try. Instructions are foolproof. Important point, while you are looking for that spot where a pixel this way or that way changes from mountains, rocky desert, and hills.....land on the mountain pixel.

Please keep making Starfield videos, you delivery, humour, articulation and general easy explanation of things makes you great at this!!

XBOX TIP: use the right thumbstick (default controls) and use quick, small movements to slowly move the map around. It's a mountain terrain that is the most south and west you can go in the area in the video. It took me about 15 minutes and two tries, and then once I realized the right joystick moved things around a lot slower, it became a lot easier. Good luck and can confirm it works!

For those on Consoles, I recommend using the right stick to rotate the planet when looking for a sweet spot on a planet from orbit, as opposed to using the left stick to move the cursor locally across the surface. Or perhaps adjust the movement speed of the cursor, which I haven't done and would probably take less time than writing this lil ditty.

This is the kind of content I love. No minutes of pointless and unnecessary preamble, no useless information that we'll never need, just a straightforward, no-nonsense guide for someone like me coming back to the game to start a new character and not wanting to go through the grind of farming aliens. This is the best starting planet and outpost I've seen. It shits all over Andraphon and whatever other planets people mention. And it's ludicrously easy to set up. That deserves a sub in its own right. BTW, I'm not sure if it's a mod I'm using, or something Bethesda added, but I can craft 999 items instead of 99 items and it levels up much faster.

One thing to note; you can transfer stuff to your ship, if you're within 250m of it, by opening the ship menu and then going into cargo.

I found it on my third attempt, remember to land on the mountains biome, if you do it you’ll land in the exact same place. If the entrance to your ship is in the front part just walk a bit to the right. If you land on any other biome it won’t work, just quicksave before choosing where to land.

"shitting on people who don't know what the hell they're talking about is just a bonus." Aaaaannnd Subbed.

Just got the game last night and have been searching for non sugar coated guides and this guide is indeed not sugar coated, thank you committed gamer that I can trust.

For those who like me struggle to find the exact spot on the planet: with plenty of landing attemps finding spots that only resembles the one show in the video without the resource combination we are looking for, I found later that there are multiple locations with the 3 biomes intersecated in a matter of pixel distance. I finally find the right one (that is equal of the one show in the video) when I look for the landing point on the position shown in the planet map in the video, and when I try to landing, I had rocky desert in the top left of the immaginary triangle biomes intersection, the right says mountains and the bottom says hills, as other comments explain. Only if you found the three biomes intersecated in this order you'll find the right spot. Once landed in the mountain section, the black peak is 150m away in front of you.

This was fantastic. Precise. I found the location with zero problems almost exactly where the video shows: Black peak on a part of the planet that looks like Australia with three intersecting biomes, foothills of the black peak is a sweet spot and it goes from there. Amazing vid my man!

Great guide. I had trouble finding the spot initially but realized that you need to click the mountain habitat at that spot. Clicking hills or desert won’t bring you to the right location

Took a couple of hours to find the right spot, a right barsteward! On console, what helped me was to change from surface resource view, whilst in orbit, to the relief view, so you can see the terrain, so you can see mountains/desert/hills a bit better in the area indicated in vid. Many reloads later, I finally saw what I thought was the black mountain, but was very "foggy". Slept on the ship 24hrs an lo and behold the black mountain was in view. Scanner with outpost thingy around the bottom of it a few mins and eureka!!! Think I watched 3-4 vids on finding this same place, but this one is by far the most informative and concise. Subbed.😊

I've seen quite a few outpost guides from different people, and this is easily the most competent and well explained. Bonus points for the calm and soothing manner

This is the first outpost video I’ve seen that’s worth watching. I didn’t even bother building an outpost on my first play through because all the other videos ive seen made it look like a pain

Ive Seen like 30 posts and videos about XP or money farms. Not a SINGLE one explained things the way it is explained here. This is truly the one and only outpost Video you need to see. Didn’t think I’d find it for this game, but here you are! Thank you.

Holy crap that took me hours. My best advice is to just keep trying to land until you notice you land into the biome split then search around the peak if you see it. I feel like if the video showed him landing and looking around it would make it more clear but great instructions on the rest thank you sm

This is a great tutorial. I think what can be helpful is dump all the items on the floor of the ship, go to ship builder and modify one component and that will go to the cargo, even over capacity. Then you can move faster and sell.

Tip for Xbox users to find it. After you scan for resources use the small brown triangle blob, that’s to the left of the larger red blob, and the smaller blue blob that’s below the 3 small green blobs (it’s northwest of the brown triangle blob.) From the triangle blob, there’s 2 smal brown pixels just off center of the tip of the triangle, use that for your reference going north. On the small blue blob, there looks like a face screaming on the right side. Use that as your reference to go east. From those two points listed above, go to where you’d estimate them to intersect. That general area is where you’ll find hills, desert, and mountains connect. From there you’ll need to fine tune your cursor to where you move left one pixel, desert; right one pixel, mountains, down one pixel, hills. The mountain will be between them. When you find that spot, choose the mountain and land. The area will look slightly different from what it looks like in the video, but the big mountain is there. Head towards the right of the base of the mountain and you’ll find all four resources. If you have you jet pack leveled up, a trick you can use is once you’re at the base of the mountain, start shooting up with your pack. If you pace it correctly you can get high. High enough to see the terrain lines that separate the biomes. You can use that to pinpoint exactly where the biomes connect. Make sure to save before landing so you can redo your search if you can’t find it. 👍🏼 Edit: not sure how much different the landmarks are for each person. But another tip to know you’re in the right place once you land (if it’s similar to mine on Xbox), you’ll see a radio tower to the back left side of the big mountain.

Thank you for such an informative, well structured, no bullshit, no bragging...okay, maybe a tiny bit of bragging video. I haven't explored base building too much. Just when i had a quest from Trident shipyard for 500 Chlorine and I was exploring outside New Atlantis and literally on the other side of the city wall there is Chlorine in the ground ...but you cannot build until you go some distance from the city wall. That was my only base and I stuck Heller there because he was on my ship and annoying the piss out of me.

So it took me forever on Xbox to find this. My 1st mistake is trying to find a place where 3 biomes intersected. Go to the exact location in the video and land in the mountains. I also got all 5 resources but platinum instead of aluminum. I wasted time reloading saves to no avail. What I had to do is go on the other (right) side of the mountain to find the right combo.

I wasn't planning on getting into base building for a while, but you just piqued my interest, and now I'll be doing it tonight. Thanks!

I just built my xp farm, trickiest part was finding the right spot where all 4 elements meet but you can just reload a save from orbit and try again, amazing method dude thanks

Dude - I love your evil genius approach. Competent and confident - Subscribing

A small tip if your planetary map is getting cluttered up with landing sites, trying to find the perfect spot. Land at the landing site, build an outpost right next to your ship and delete the outpost. Go into your ship and fly into space. The landing site should be gone.

Well played, sir! I hate how content creators seem to not care about putting out the same old info that everyone else is already out there just to make another video.. This was original, fantastic advice, and very well executed, very nice!

So after a frustrating search, i want to say that when its mentioned that this is all about precision and not luck that i dont entirely agree with that. It may involve a lot of precision, but i feel like i literally lucked up and found the black mountain eventually. With that being said, it 1000% works regardless. And if you're doing exactly what he said in the right spot, you will 1000% find the resources. Great walk through, its much appreciated!

I couldn't agree more. The one thing I do differently when I go to a vender. I take 12,000 to and or up to 15,000 adaptive frames and no more. Because 15,000 adaptive frames equal's 45,000 credits. You then buy all the ammo they have up to 45,000 credits, cause your going to need the ammo anyway. Then sale your adaptive frames. Personally I go to Jamison because there are 6 places you can sale your lot at. The Kiosk at the space port you sale 1666 frames netting you 4998 credits. You can do this at Outfitters in the Commercial District, and UC Surplus in the well just buy enough ammo from this one to max of 5000 credits, all these 3 venders have 5000 credits. There are 3 venders that you can sale 12,000 to 15,000 frames to after buying all there ammo. That is Jamison's at the spaceport, The Trade Authority main office in the well, and UC Distribution in the Commercial District. I do this by making batches of 1666 frames and 12,000 to 15,000 frames and dropping them on the floor of your ship. Cause all these frames and other lot will not all fit in your cargo hold anyway. Now even for you can't sale off everything you have simply go to your ship sleep 24 hours. At Jamison 24 hours of sleep equal's 48 hours of UC Time. And that is good because venders are also on UC Time not on planet time. Now all the venders are all stocked up again, and you repeat till you get everything sold off. It couldn't be easier if you tried.

For people who can't find it, it's not worth the search, I searched for like 4h and nothing literally went a pixel between the three zones, in that time i could've set up two outposts with a cargo link and get the same result. If you dont find it in like 2 or 3 tries then it doesnt exist on your playthrough, don't waste time. For those who have the three zone merger, im very jelly

Following the video, I made this outpost exactly as described. It's been the best. I stopped questing at level 17. I'm now at level 76 and I've started questing again. Money is no longer an issue too. I'm at about 1mill credits with some beefy ships too. I used a mod to give vendors more money which saved me waiting hours and hours in real life for the vendors to reset. Leveling is getting a bit slow because I'm running out of resources now. Still using the basic storage containers. I need to upgrade those so I can craft more. Thanks so much for this video. It's helped a ton. I'm yet to do ng+ so I might build your end game outpost in one of my other play throughs 😊

Tip for Xbox players: On PC you can simply click 99 while crafting, while on Xbox you have to use manually increase the slider to 99. To expedite the time it takes to go from crafting 1 to 99, use the right analog stick combined with right on the D-Pad while continuously tapping right bumper. The left and right bumper can be used to increase/decrease a larger quantity of items to be bought/sold/crafted/exchanged happy farming! also Vash this is the most complete, simple and almost perfect tutorial I may have watched on anything ever. Thanks

this video rocks dude, thanks!! edit: nah man i wasn't being grateful enough, this video is the f****** bomb!!! I was able to link both extractors (of the same kind) to the same container and then stack the containers 10 stacks tall, and link them vertically; it saves space and looks cool! everything about this video is easy to understand and more importantly it's visibly shown while audibly guided, it couldn't be better. i don't enjoy these kinds of mechanics in games but you made this a fun experince. thanks.

Thank you for this awesome video. You're a born teacher you nailed it. That is some god tier gameplay, really deep understanding of game mechanics combined with the ability to explain complex concepts in a a very precise and scientific manner and I feel your enthusiasm at the same time. Extremely valuable content. Exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Cheers, Vash

Why would you not show the location on the surface map?

This was the most straightforward, easy to follow, video regarding outposts and mining. And on top of that, awesome place to build and other great tips. No fluff or filler either. Subbed!

Bro, thankyou so much. This is by far the best outpost video I've ever seen. I just got the game a week ago, and as a father of 4, I have very limited time to play. Took my 30 minutes to get it operational, and withing 10 minutes I went from level 5 to level 12. You rock.

For me the hardest part was finding the landing zone. The way I interpreted the instructions, I was looking for a spot on the planet map where the biome would change without moving the cursor. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that this wasn't possible and i had to move the cursor just a little bit to see if the biomes are in proximity. Then make sure to choose Mountains.

This deserves more attention, I didn't even want to look at base building until i found this. Nice work.

Thank you for this guide, it took about 30 minutes, but I was able to find it. Recommended doing a quicksave before you land until they patch the ability to remove a landing site.

You could also hop around the planet you are setting this up on until you see the Civilian Outpost icon. Go to it and get it marked on your map and then fly there and sell with the same bonus. Just need to get lucky where the vendor has the bar and then you can sit at the bar and sell. Also, don't forget, that as long as you are 250 m away from your ship, you can access your Ship > Cargo Hold > Inventory and move loot into your cargo hold as well.

I had trouble like everyone else so I do have a little tip: I didn't see the comments about saving and reloading so I didn't get an aluminum spawn close enough. I literally made outposts everywhere just to check the actual resource node locations. I did get the next best thing though and instead of Aluminum, I got Platinum which is very valuable and definitely worth the trade as many of you know. The Aluminum node was just out of reach so all I had to do was make another outpost which was in walking distance, and use the cargo link. It might sound a bit wasteful, but it might be more helpful for folks having huge issues finding the "perfect" spot. Like Vash said, it's a one (technically 2) in a thousand planet spawns for resources combined with the time conversion. This may not be helpful if you don't have the skill to have more outposts, but the resource requirements are minimal and because it is in system, it doesn't cost any helium to transport, plus you have 2 free segregated cargo storages in case you need to rearrange stuff. Getting all these resources either takes hours of looking on KZfaq, or much longer manually, and you usually end up setting up like 4 outposts to funnel into 1 which is obnoxious. I hope this helps.

Just a heads up: rather than the general store in Akila, the Trade Authority vendor in New Atlantis (in the Well, which you can reach from the spaceport and going through the elevator near Jemison Mercantile) has a chair right next to her. She has 11000 credits and you only need to wait 24 hours (since Jemison has roughly 2:1 local time to UT conversion) which makes it WAY faster to sell your huge quantities of crafted loot.

After an hour of looking for the right spot, the best I could find at the biome intersection was Iron, Cobalt, Platinum, Nickel, and Water. Instead of spending hours looking for the right spot, I think my time is better spent just building a linked outpost for aluminum.

Trade authority in the well is a 2 hours/hr time dilation, so I sit in her chair and wait 1 day instead of 2 most places, use her 11k bank to cash out, repeat, repeat repeat. Full routine when coming in to cash out farm; Stop at the Den to drop contraband, wait on Venus for 6 hours, (which is 600 UT hours and long enough for the 2 miniguns in UC munitions in the well to respawn,) so I grab those, sell them to trade authority in the well with the rest of my farm. Wait 24 hours whenever she runs out of money.

This is hands down the most helpful video on outposts I’ve seen. And I had no idea you couldn’t die from being over encumbered which is the state of my character 90% of the time. Thank you man! Plus the sheer entertainment. First there was sexp, then I saw CHONKER. I was done for. 🤣

My God I wish I would have found this video 17 Starfield hours ago. Most other tuts would have you crafting an extremely convoluted network of structures that require an exorbitant amount of skills/levels/credits beforehand. Looks like you were able to get the ball rolling with literally 950 credits and nothing else. Bravo! Going to try this as soon as I get home! **EDIT: After searching for this sweet spot for hours, I read up and learned that the terrains are RNG so the odds of getting what this vid got is pretty slim. However, it's still an excellent beginner's tutorial on how outposts work and how to fully utilize them.

My instincts told me there was a better location for an initial outpost other than Androphon but I was impatient. Thank you so much for this information. Your presentation is spot on and your voice excellent for teaching. Keep up the good work! Liked and subscribed.

As other said land on the mountain when you find the hill and desert all next to each other, if you do this correctly you will see the Black holly mountain 😅, if you can’t find it just land again don’t wonder around, it’s easier to try from the planet map than just run around, also another tip if you have multiple land sites just land near them and the mark will move to the new land site, making it easier to click again to find right spot to land.

Yeah, on Xbox, spent hours trying to nail that perfect spot. Never could.

It took me about an hour of searching landing zones on Xbox, but I found it. My zone ended up basically exactly where yours was in the video. Use the blobs to the south and west of your cursor for general placement, then really fine tune it to where if you move as little as possible and set a zone, you see the other biomes.

I loved your Remnant 2 videos and now I’m loving your Starfield videos too! Thanks again for providing quality content you just can’t find anywhere else!

Very well done sir. You're IQ really shows. not a joke, not sarcasm. I very much enjoy non-bullshit videos.

One of the best walkthroughs I have seen for Starfield, and this was my first ever Outpost so I learnt a Sh!t load in 15 mins. What a star you are Vash.

Thanks so much. Simple and efficient. I'm level 27 and haven't put much into outpost building because there seemed to be so many better uses of my time. This is a no brainier though. Subbed.

The only thing I would add/change is to go to The Den in the Wolf system instead of Akila City. The Wolf Den has a Trade Authority vendor that has 11k credits, so you don't have to wait as often. If you're doing this between missions, the Wolf system is also one of like 2 or 3 places that doesn't scan you for contraband when you arrive in orbit, so you can sell your outpost stuff, as well as sell contraband that you find on missions. More money is always nice, lol.

Another place to sell is at The Den in the Wolf system. Vendor there holds 11,000 credits and there is a chair next to his location where you can reset his holdings. This is also the location for selling contraband without getting scanned.
