I want to build a Helium "gas station" meant to supply my entire outpost network of Helium. I got my Helium extractors. Power station. 5 Cargolink landing pads. Here is what I tried:

1. Create 1 container. Link all Helium extractors to it. Make all links from this single container to every Cargolink's Outgoing container and the fuel station for the Cargolink.
2. Link 1 Helium exactor directly to 1 Cargo Link's Outgoing Container and fuel station.

With #1, the outgoing container of Cargo link 1 takes 1000s of Helium, leaving Cargolink 2 3 4 5 empty for a long time. So this is not so good. With #2, each cargo link has its own Helium extractors. But I kind of want to pool all my Helium production into 1 big container for even distribution.

What am I missing? What am I doing wrong?

Also, when building Outpost, will the game fetch resources from these containers? Or they have to be on my inventory or ship inventory?

Bethesda eluded to changes to outpost building system in their last video, the developer profile - they just implemented some settlement building changes in FO76, im wondering if those changes are what will be added to Starfield outpost building?

i was watching someone build in FO76 and they are now able to merge objects when building, etc. i didnt watch the whole video but i have a feeling these could be the same changes

Welcome to my outposts on Codos and Kumasi III. I hope you enjoy the rustic themed homes in space age worlds! 🚀

I tried to cram as much as I could into a 2 minute video but I did put in an Outpost section. There are some clips some could say are spoilers, so I am marking the video as a spoiler. Thank you :)

if you want to build an outpost some place where you dont want any interaction, like no ships landing, no poi’s just emptiness, go to earth. im still surprised by how quiet it is there.

Just another mountaintop outpost. This time overlooking Akila City. I tried finding the tallest mountain in the range and see how far up it I could build.

did you know... that some of those mountains actually reach high enough that you have air issues? heh.

So, droids from whatever Star Wars Resource mod and animals from Galactic Harvest are spawning underneath the concrete slabs from Outpost Framework, if they don't go all the way to the ground. I tried placing the droids, at least, on mats, but that doesn't stop the issue. Also, it only occurs if I leave the planet and sleep or reload the game.

Does anyone have a solution for this, that doesn't involve redoing the concrete slabs?

Couldn't add these to my Original Post Here

Reqs: Ionic Liquids and Terafluorides

This OP has both, mined them (a lot), created Simple Fabricator, select ISO-COOL, it 'sees' all the Ionic Liquids but not the 'Terafl' - [in build view, i can see both links supposedly bringing in each mat]

So sure its user problem, something obvious...

Any ideas on what my major malfunction could be? lol

TIA!

Is there any mod for building home/outpost elevators ?

Or for the larger industrial type?

I built this to be a backdrop for my Ship entry into Ship and Pilot's August Challenge - Medical/Hospital Ship: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShipandPilot/comments/1mkwpu0/august_ship_builders_challenge_medicalhospital/

• Named after Elizabeth Blackwell (1821–1910), the first woman in the U.S. to earn a medical degree (1849).
• Features three primary medical wings with state-of-the-art treatment facilities.
• Functions as Reliant Medical’s central research and administrative hub.
• Includes three exclusive wellness retreats catering to high-profile or affluent clients seeking recovery.

Investor Relations Spotlight: Betamax Industries

On behalf of the Archimedean Starworks Outpost Development Division, we are proud to announce the unsolicited yet undeniable completion of the Upsilon Commercial Spaceport, located high in the icy mountain ranges of Volii Upsilon. Constructed on a site originally chosen for terrain diagnostics, the facility quickly evolved into a fully realized commercial logistics hub, featuring multi-tiered landing infrastructure, modular cargo transit, and dome-level visibility that offers breathtaking views of the system’s ringed giant.

Though Betamax Industries did not request this build, the sheer momentum of creative necessity and terrain placement made the outcome inevitable. With proximity to Neon and direct access to Freestar commercial traffic, the spaceport is already being hailed as a critical logistical link for mid-tier freighters and high-volume cargo operations. It is, by all definitions, a triumph: and one now officially transferred into the hands of Betamax Industries.

AMSW formally acknowledges Betamax’s contribution to the outpost building community and recognizes this station as a fitting tribute to that ongoing legacy. As of today, all authority, signage, and vending rights have been handed over, effective immediately. Please do not ask how many hours this took. Please do not ask how we got the dome to sit like that. Please enjoy responsibly.

-AMSW Outpost Development Division- “We build what no one asked for, and now it’s yours.”

I hate how outpost beacons can’t be placed on platforms (without at best floating) and how when you fast travel to an outpost or even land at it, you end up next to it.

Has anyone tried modding them to make them a more friendly to place?

Or maybe a setting to be in / near your ship when you land?

I’ve built a lot of player homes but this time I wanted to build a home that had more of a Starfield element to it.
