What are Starfield outposts? The outposts system in Starfield allows you to create your base camp wherever you desire on almost every planet. Depending on the purpose of constructing these outposts, your buildings can range from miniature homes to full-blown resource generators.

There are over 1,000 Starfield planets to explore, many of which are resource-heavy and have been left uninhabited by any other species. Utilize these planets by building extractors and assigning your Starfield companions to help mine precious resources, giving you the materials you need for Starfield research projects to improve your equipment. Here’s what you need to know about Starfield outposts, including what it costs to build them and why they’re so important.
