There is a seemingly infinite amount of things to do across the vast and colorful galaxy of Starfield, and one of the most fun and also the most important of them is the building of Outposts. You can create them on just about any planet or moon in the game, and when constructed properly they provide an endless supply of valuable resources for all your needs. Just like with building ships, Outposts have several types of modules you use to construct the perfect manufacturing hub. If you’re wondering what they all are, here is our handy guide for all Outpost Modules and what they do in Starfield.
Where & How to Build an Outpost in Starfield
The process of building your first Outpost can seem a little daunting, particularly in terms of where you should build one, and everything it should have. The game leaves it very open-ended for you to make those choices, and you essentially can build one on any planet (save for gas giants) or moon you want. You even can on those with extreme climates or other hazardous conditions, provided you have the Master-tier “Planetary Habitation” skill ranked up.
A good place to start, we’ve found, is on a Moon with a non-hazardous climate and naught but useful resources for the taking, with no fauna to interfere with operations, and few instances for spacers and pirates to pay a visit. This is an easy way to get your feet wet with the mechanics of outpost building and functionality, without having to worry about outside threats (at least very few).
That said, when you’ve picked a spot somewhere, all you have to do is open your Scanner and then select the ‘Outpost’ option (‘R’ on PC; ‘X’ on console) on a non-restricted area. This will establish your Build Area, in which you can construct the modules you want, and that will be most effective for resource allocation and keeping your Outpost machinery and crew safe and productive.
Also, as you rank up your “Outpost Engineering” skill, you’ll be able to build bigger and more complex module structures. As we uncover more of them, we’re including all of the modules you can unlock with max rank.
For more details on Outpost construction and management, you can check out our other guides such as getting 3 Outposts built right away.
All Outpost Modules & What They Do
Extractor Modules
These modules are responsible for your resource allocation needs, and they all power to operate, which you can manage with Power Source modules. Also, the types of Extractors available in your Build menu will vary depending on the resource veins in the vicinity of your Outpost beacon. As seen above, if the only resource in your Build Area is Aluminum, that’s the only type of Extractor that will be available to build. As different planets have different resources, there are a wide variety of options.
There are three tier models of Extractors that can be built:
- Base Model
- Commercial Model
- Industrial Model
Each of these model types requires different amounts of construction materials, along with different production outputs and Operating Costs. As long as you have the necessary amount of power, you can build as many Extractors as you want at your Outpost, as long as it doesn’t exceed the ‘Build Limit’ at the bottom of your Build Menu HUD.
