In Starfield you can now build a space station as an outpost where you can even dock your spaceship.
In Bethesda’s space RPG, outposts are an integral part of the gameplay. You can build your own outpost and use it as a retreat on a beautiful planet or farm resources there.
However, even though players were able to build an entire city as an outpost, there was one thing missing until now: a space station as an outpost. That is about to change.
How can you build an outpost as a space station? The disappointing news for some players right off the bat: this is currently only possible using a mod, even though the necessary data is already contained in the game.
According to the description, with this mod, it is possible to transform your latest ship into a space station via a build menu of your outpost, which you can modify and where you can dock your spaceship.
The mod is called “Spacestations for Outposts” and is available on the Nexusmods site. As the mod developer states, the entire code of the mod is already in the game, but some things are a bit broken and not everything works. Additionally, some things may still be a bit buggy.
Moreover, all items in the mod are free because the developer did not want to assign a price to the hundreds of items and Bethesda hasn’t done so yet.
What do outposts bring in Starfield? Outposts in Starfield are more than just a vacation resort on a tropical planet and serve more than just the purpose of role-playing.
You can farm a ton of resources with an outpost. Additionally, outposts are among the best ways to collect XP. What advantages and useful properties a space station has as an outpost, we cannot say at this time.
If you want to continue building your outpost on a solid celestial body but do not know where useful and valuable resources might be found, we have created a list of planets and moons that are very well suited for building an outpost:
