In Starfield you can build your own outpost and farm various resources with it. One player, however, has not settled for a few buildings and resource extractors in Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG, but has created an outpost as big as a city.
What kind of city is this? Since Starfield was officially released, fans have been sharing tons of pictures and videos of their elaborately built spaceships on social media. The Twitter user “NikoMueller” has now taken a different direction in a post and shown a huge outpost he built in Starfield – completely without mods.
NikoMueller’s outpost is as big as a city and completely automatically farms resources. The images also show that he built the outpost near Akila City on the planet Akila. On Akila, there is water, aluminum, nickel, argon, benzene, and cobalt.
Meter-high towers with storage and machines
What is in the outpost? NikoMueller also attached two videos to his post in which he showcases his impressive creation. The videos show meter-high towers made of containers and other storage units, various extractors that farm resources, as well as taking off spaceships that distribute the farmed resources via a freight link between different outposts.
In addition to the various machines, two fusion reactors, and numerous wind turbines for energy generation, the player equipped his city with greenhouses and laser turrets that protect his outpost from space pirates and extraterrestrial beings like the native Ashta on Akila.
He also states that he has eight human NPCs and six robots in his outpost, which expand his production, clean the gardens and rooms, increase the machine performance, and enhance the defense system’s capabilities.
You can see the Twitter post in which the user shows his outpost here:
Does the outpost remain in New Game Plus? No, like many other things, the built outposts are gone in “New Game+” and need to be rebuilt.
However, NikoMueller explains in the comments of his post that he built the huge, fully automated outpost in “New Game +++”, which is his fourth run of the game.
How can the outpost run fully automatically? Once you have built the basic structures like various extractors, storage units, and generators (or other energy-producing machines), you must connect the different devices with cables and output links.
You should also ensure that you always have enough power and that this is ideally produced and distributed via the output links.
If you use a generator, for example, you need helium-3. If you have a helium-3 source and a corresponding extractor in your outpost, you can continuously supply your generator with helium-3, allowing it to produce energy that powers your machines.
