One thing to note, biomes are what determine which resources can spawn. Take Andraphon for example. This moon of Sumati in the Narion system has only two biomes: Mountains and Craters. The mountains biome contains Iron and only Iron. You can tell you're in the mountains biome on Andraphon by the white rocky terrain. The craters biome, meanwhile, contains everything else (Aluminum, Beryllium, Europium, and Helium-3). You can tell you're in the craters biome on Andraphon by the red rocky terrain. You can also tell what biome you'll land in when selecting a new landing zone, because it will say Mountains or Forest or whatever. More importantly, you can actually land near a biome boundary, where you can run along the boundary and try to find an outpost location that gives you access to multiple resources you otherwise wouldn't be able to get together! You can tell that you're landing near a boundary when you select a landing zone, and the slightest shift one pixel over will put you in a different biome.
did this on Zamka in alpha centauri and was able to find a location that has Nickel, cobalt, iron and water. Took nearly 3 hrs, but probably worth it long term.
there is a planet which is actually much better as a starter base than androphon. that is bessel-3B it has a specific spot where 3 biomes converge. this grants you alu , iron , cobalt & nickel (+water) all in a single spot. in addition it also has a 1 to 57 UT conversion ratio, it has everything you would ever need from an outpost. only requirement to get started is some basic materials you can buy from the new atlanis store.
@@Coyotebongwater97 bessel :) it's roughly north-west of alpha centauri. though i warn you, it's fairly difficult to get the spot right. i would suggest watching a video to get the general area right.
the cargo link system in this game confuses me, because they already had a far less confusing and way more convinient version of it in fallout 4, where you assign a person to run supply lines giving you settlements/outposts a simple shared inventoryin starfield you need atleast 5incoming platform for any decent sised project you wish to build, wich cost you alot of workspace, the alternative beeing constand fasttravel with a cargoship.
The most important thing no one asked yet is what you do with all the overflowing resources? I would had like some sort of auto sell or trade function so my shit can be making me money without me being there.
Player PSA: There appears to be a small bug when setting up the resource link landing pads. The pads would not deliver the outgoing resources, best way to fix this is to delete the pad on both ends and replace. (Took me hours to figure this evil thing out.) ((Pass this on))
Man, I was really hoping you would explain direction... What should be the first container for collecting resources in my chain? How do I integrate extractors and transfer, input and outgoing containers? This is what I'm struggling with.
Thanks for this video, I hate the way they chose to do Cargo Links inter-system. I thought it was 5 He3 per minute, not per ship take off. That makes this much more affordable cause I couldn't figure out how to have enough extractors to power gens, feed the link, AND actually harvest it for other uses.
If you place the cargo link platform - inter-system on land that has helium and put down a helium extractor and link it to the liquid storage tank you then have linked to the liquid "storage" on the platform itself, will the platform fuel itself or do you have to manually dump helium into the liquid storage for it to work?
I have tried creating a outgoing link from helium extractor directly to liquid helium box on platform, no go. I have tried going to a gas helium storage container to liguid box on platform, no go. Any combination I have tried does not work@@justinstone1821
@@justinstone1821 how would you go about getting the helium to the other system platform if say only one outpost has HE as a resource. i assume you have to power both right?
Aren't you the guy that used to work for hirez and smite? (not the one we shouldn't name). Well, you've probably quit a while ago, but good job on your new channel, this is very good.
So what is it possible to take the stuff from my cargo hold and store it at my outpost? Without having to make a bunch of boxes and storing them that way?
I am confused because it requires Helium-3 to fuel the inter systems cargo link, why make a liquid storage? Mine runs off of the gas storage (helium-3)
PSA...I spent the last couple days troubleshooting a really aggravating issue where every 30 seconds or so, my FPS would drop from the mid 70s (11900K and RTX-4090 running the Steam version) down to the mid-30s for about a second, then jump back up to the 70s. It was really frustrating during firefights, and even walking around or panning while standing still would be terrible stuttering. I tried all of the Internet suggestions...older NVIDIA driver (nope), bumped the priority of Starfield.exe to high (nope), turned off all background Windows 11 tasks...nothing helped at all. I tried overclocking the CPU and GPU, but CPU usage was below 15% and even with everything set to Ultra (I'm running a 3840x1600 ultra-wide monitor at 144Hz), GPU percent usage was only in the mid-80s. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, turned off all mods...everything I could think of over the last two days. I've got over 600 hours on this gamesave, so I didn't want to scrap the save and start over (currently level 115 and haven't gone NG+ but finished the main and side quests. Then I read that someone had luck by deleting their cargo links. I have maxed out my skills and had all of my outposts built--many with 2 or 3 cargo links on them. So first, I went to each outpost and just deleted the link from the transfer container to the cargo link at every outpost. That didn't help. But when I went to every outpost and actually deleted every cargo link, the stuttering disappeared and the game is once again running smoothly. I can't imagine putting up to 6 cargo links on each outpost like the "Outpost Management" social skill now allows me, until whatever is bugged with cargo links gets fixed by Bethesda. I haven't started putting cargo links back on the outposts yet.
Does anyone know how to transfer large amounts of resources from storage containers to your ship ? talking like 3000 units of gold in 10 biggest storage containers. The transfer container at 23:10 only has 200 capacity 😣 Am i not using it right ? Cause I been melting through medpacks trying to pack mule it XD
Wait.. Hold on.. Did I understand you correctly now.. By placing a Solid storage, joint to the other. Do I only have to link one of the to the production source, and both will fill regardless? As they're placed adjacent? Or do you have to "rightclick link" between and every storage?
In my experience the storage tanks don't fill properly unless you create a clear path for the resource to flow through them. So I link all my extractors to the first storage container at the top of the stack and then link each container in order all the way down. I recommend trying different setups to see what works best for you.
Yes because the transfer container can only store so much. It's great to use it to collect all the resources at your outpost, though, without having to run around your outpost. To maximize how much you're harvesting after a nice long sleep, just build several storage containers for each resource and output the last container for each to the transfer container.
As a guide, for those of us who haven't built one yet, it would have been a bit more helpful if you had done this in the order of how/when things are built. I didn't find this video helpful for newb like me. What should I build, in what order and why would be more helpful. I'm sure that once I've built a few, this might make more sense, but that's not helpful for me right now.
Yeah you can, I've found its generally better to link an extractor directly up to anything that needs helium because if you put it in a storage container then have that storage container output to multiple other things, it can end up not giving enough helium to whatever needs it. Hopefully in the future they'll add priority connections
I wish someone would explain the helium link for the interstellar platform. Extracting a gas? and then sorting or linking to a liquid connection? Regardless, I have tried linking my helium extractor directly to the platform and it sits there looking at me. I tried Drybear's suggestion on linking the liquid storage bax to the liquid storage container and it gives me the finger My head is spinning
There's a bug where if an extractor gets full, it won't output its recourses even if the container its linked up with is empty. Try hooking up a few extractors to one gas storage, then that gas storage to the platform. Make sure the gas storage isn't outputting anywhere else.
Good idea...it did occur to me to link multiple extractors out to the same storage container. What seemingly is working for me is extracting out to a single GAS container as oppossed to a LIQUID container. Drybear seemed to suggest using a liquid version and that tripped me up for a bit. But it probably just speaks to the bugginess if this system. But I must say it is satisfying to get a full supply chain system up and running and spitting out product.@@higgs7473
The gun looks like Heller's Cutter. Definitely a Cutter of some kind. Not sure about the spacesuit, based on the color I'd guess something from the Crimson Fleet but that's just a guess.
Regarding cargo links (non inter system). I am trying to send iron resources from one outpost to another, but when I try to link the iron to the outgoing box on my iron outpost, it does not show up at all as outgoing in the console of said outpost. Any suggestions? I have the outgoing box linking to the 30 or so storage containers full of iron. Any help would be appreciated!
@@theattendis What I did to get it to work was making sure the connections were exactly right. Making sure the outbound box was connected to the correct storage box in storage chain. And making sure the storage system is linked to each other correctly.
@@Davetheguitarhero108I've also saved and reloaded to fix cargo links. They are a really cool idea and seem pretty buggy, especially the interstellar links. Hopefully they patch some of these issues soon.
I don't see the cargo link (inter system) option in my builder. Have now spent 3 hours looking in forums and videos, why I can only build normal cargo links. No answers.
It might be player level or story progress locked. Try leveling up a bit and see if it shows up. Otherwise I'm not sure why you wouldn't have it in your list. :/
