Outpost building is one of the key mechanics in Starfield, as it allows you to set up resource-gathering systems on many planets and also build your own house on some distant moon where no one will bother you.
Once you decide where to build your outpost, it's very important to remember that you'll need plenty of resources for all those buildings. In this guide, we'll list the most important resources that you need to have before you start building your outpost.
These are pretty much all you'll need to build most of the buildings so make sure to have plenty before you start constructing the outpost.
Resources needed for outpost building in Starfield
- Copper
- Aluminum
- Beryllium
- Nickel
- Iron
- Lead
- Tungsten
- Cobalt
- Sealant
- Lubricant
The good news is that these materials can be found on almost every planet in Starfield. Make sure to scan the planets from your ship while you're in space to see if these are rich with materials you need for your outpost.
Additionally, you'll want to mine as many resources as possible and store them in your ship so don't forget to add some storage containers to your vessel. Having to leave the outpost building to mine resources can be really annoying, as you probably know by now.
So there you have it folks, those are some of the best and most important resources you'll need to build your outpost.
