tip for when you’re searching for two biomes on a planet. when you land before you exit the ship or pilot seat and you’re at the “exit, take off, leave seat” screen go into photo mode and you’ll be able to look around the area with the higher camera view and find the different biome if you’re close, if not then take off and land somewhere else and look around.

Also pro-tip: If you are mining on a planet where you get raided by animals or bounty hunters/pirates, you can build an impenetrable wall around your base using raised storage containers, which have no limit. When you build up a stack and delete the ones below the top box, it fills in with cement foundation which becomes your wall.

What I would love to see is an additional console that you can build at your outpost that not only shows a galactic view of shipping lanes but allows modifications without having to travel.

Thank you for making a guide like this. I'm so tired of every guide being the basics for beginners. One suggestion...rather than wire the stacks of boxes together, take the one that you feed from the extractors, place it 30 feet behind the stack of boxes, then wire it to each individual box. This makes it so much easier to see which boxes are wired and which aren't. It also allows you connect/disconnect individual boxes easily.

I just noticed not to long ago that the "linked" storage containers that are connected together have no color shade. And the storage containers that are not connected have a blue color to them (to identify they aren't linked and that you can link to those).

I love some of these suggestions. You have put some significant effort into gathering these ideas. Thank you, bruh.

Cargo links are not based on UT, they are based on in-game time. You're best off setting it all up and going off to quest for half an hour to an hour. This will ensure your operation is well underway.

Was going to suggest this myself. I sure wish cargo links also followed the UT guidelines. Frustrating that it doesn't. However, as @TactiCat mentions, you can fast travel to an outpost for quicker retrieval. In that way, you can create much larger storage at those outposts to accumulate via UT, so when you go there, you can grab a massive quantity quickly.

If you're crafting in an outpost it automatically can pull from all storage chests at that outpost. No need to manually grab materials unless you're gearing up for massive crafting sessions that need more than all your storage can hold at once.

Another tip: if you are going to take resources from transfer stations, you can do it from your ship’s cargo hold. You just have exit and enter it’s menu to refresh its inventory. In case anyone is too lazy to exit their ship like me

Thank you very much for this guide. It has made this confusing issue make a lot more sense and it has been very helpful in recognizing some of the mistakes I made. I really appreciate you explaining everything as well as your suggestions.

I have found that creating links between points of shipment tend to get bugged when you make connections while an outpost is in the process of manufacturing. The way to avoid this is before making the connection to transport out allow your storage to just completely fill up everywhere in the outpost and can speed this process up by waiting. Once all of your outpost containers are full then create the outgoing link. I also try not to interfere with production. So I place a main kill switch between power and my manufacturing because most of the time unless your are frequently pulling your inventory then your storage will fill up and only be relieved from a transport. That way I can shut down manufacturing at the outpost, pull all of the inventory to my ship and then turn it all back on at once allowing each piece of machinery to fire up at the same time. You will even notice at that point all of your extractors are operating 100% tangent with each other meaning you see them go up and back down synchronized. This allows each machine to be producing the same amount and sending it to their respective storage with better efficiency. This is another layer of work because you are wiring each machine up rather than the passive power but this method also allows complete control of operation and is more efficient. I like to wire each of my power sources together in a daisy chain, then the last to the switch. Then from the switch to each of the extractors separately. So you shut that switch off and everything shuts down. In my experience this can prevent a lot of the bugs. I mean they included power switches for a reason. And rather tear everything down you can just reboot it

I found a nice trick to have my containers spaced out. Build a 2x2. Place a 1x1 at the bottom left. Place a 1x2 to the left, and it will be off set by a 1x1 square. Place another 1x1 at the bottom left and then another 1x2 on the bottom left. It's offset by another 1x1 unit. Now all your rows are lined up perfectly. Thanks for the 60 limit conection tip!

@randytesla7596 ya, you are basically using the 1x1 and 1x2s to do the parallel offset. The 1x1s are the only unit that can start it because the other two start snapping like they are supposed to. I don't think you can make them right next to each other, but a 1x1 gap works perfectly.

dammittttttttt... yes! I deleted all outposts, recreated all links, and even doing the specific storage for outgoing or ingoing yes everything goes in circle around my outposts. well thats actually fine, sometimes i need some materials here and there, so make my life easy. thanks for the very well organized explanation. thanks keep up the good work

Thanks for all your info. I think that two things are the main issue. One is the separation of time with production and the cargo ships. This causes massive build ups of resources waiting to get shipped. Then, with the inter system links, ships will pick up 500 cargo and only be able to drop off 300 (probably the source of the bug) the extra 200 cargo seems to get stuck in the ship, meaning that it will no longer release that 200. Something then happens each subsequent shipment where it seems to pick up the resources but will no longer drop of the resource types that are stuck in the ship. This causes the scenario where you have multiple resource types but only one is getting dropped off. I say that because I noticed that when you break the link between stations and quickly exit the menu, you see that all the stuck resource types get sent to your inventory and the ship's storage goes back to 0/500. I think the best and most optimal setup is what you show here. Link resources to your transfer station and run the resources manually between planets and then go to your main base and craft for the mad xp boost. It sucks that the cargo links don't work and hopefully will be fixed soon, but until they run on the game time and not real time, they will never be as productive.

I believe your problem is your trying to use your transfer station for incoming I believe it is ment to be used for you to transfer your product directly to your ship (out going ie: automated manufacturing) without you leaving your ship. just run a link to a set of cargo boxes directly from the cargo link incoming. Do not use the transfer station that way the incoming ship will continue to fill the boxes until they are full.

Nice work, very well done. Really liked the diagrams

Appreciate the vid, the positivity, and the diagram!

I had no idea about the command console on the cargo link. That’s the one nugget I needed!

Good job dude. The diagram and the spreadsheet were very good. Very intuitive. Maybe with some mods that have arrived in Creation Make the outposts more rewarding for the effort put in. Like the Starsurvival mod and its addons and makes the Starfield galaxy more realistic. Thus making the construction of warehouses more pleasurable.

By creating a flow diagram really explains a lot with less words. Been thinking the same how to create clean designs. Subbed.

A few Building tips if interested; The only limit for space is really where you want your initial extractors, so place all those first and build right up to, and around them later. You can then fill up the base over the resources without affecting extraction! Room for cool and useful stuff like a decked out hab/watchtower/work stations/turrets etc! Build it up slowly best jump in test and plan certain placement as; 1. Storage linked stacks are the hardest to move. 2. transfer/ship platforms require the most space and should be as close together as possible for easy getting around. But it’s all easy to move! (Except large storage stacks) You can always shuffle around later to better setups, that’s what I did. I Love 💕 my highly productive beautiful main outpost now! Ty @Tacticat!

you need a distribution base, where resources from other outposts come in, and they all go to 1 cargo link, linking everything directly to main base.. and in fact you need multiple distribution bases that collect from many extractor outposts.. and the main base only has connections to these distribution bases. Other wise you'd need multiple main bases because there aren't enough cargo links allowed in 1 base for all the resources. So Extractor->Distibution->Main base

@TRG29338

Good idea.

Yeah, when you sleep, it plays catchup with deliveries after you wake. So, you if you sleep and then just wait a moment, you'll see the containers fill pretty quickly. I actually stack the containers high at my depot base for this reason. I can just look out of the cockpit and see the green bar is full/load the ship/fabricate/sell.

Nice video I took away a few things from it, My thoughts is that if this is first resource gathering outpost then by all means place down your storage containers, that's a given, but... if this is just a distribution outpost then I would suggest forgoing the storage containers all together and link your extractors straight to the outgoing of the cargo links along with the helium needed for the intersystem cargo links. Due to storage limitations I would also suggest creating two outpost with 3 - 4 cargo links "distribution" having all of your other outpost going to the distribution and then two cargo links at the home base and have the two distribution linked outpost aimed at the home distribution that way it would help relieve the bottle necking and hold up along with the noise.

This is all amazing, still need a way to transfer multiple resources through a cargo link without one resource overcrowding the storage and preventing other resources from coming in.

For sake of ease of linking containers in isometric view I put every container in single row not putting containers on each other. Then I link from left to right or vise versa. And after connection made I move containers to stack them in columns. So you get zig zag linking without doing zig zag manually. That's faster for me.

Thank you for your work. Subed!

The small stacks of storage was game changing. I’d been building huge walls of storage and spent hours troubleshooting crappy links. Getting the four main resources from one outpost was great.

I would also always place the large round ship landing platform straight away. If later you have a ship too big it will not land at the outpost, it will land at “the original landing site” much further away. The large platform is also great for ship building and modifying so win win. NOTE: you can switch current active ship to the original starting frontier or a small ship you own at the platform to not have to run back to that big ship you landed on but this can also bug out and require a save and reload. To avoid I recommend just setup the bigger ship platform on initial build. 👌👍

If you have 6 storage per extractor and then run it into transfer that’s only 8 connectors and a total per extractor. And 30 storage collectively for 5 extractors. Mitigates the bugs and allows bulk

ok so one cargo link transfers 300 materials to it's destination every 4 game minutes. unless they fixed it in the .36 update sleeping doesn't affect that. it just means that the link that is exporting is actually filling up before transfer, which is not the same thing as the actual transfer of the good.they also take a minute to load and a minute to offload with a 2 minute flight time.also i only ever use the transfer station for final product parts from fabricators since that is where your money is really coming from. also using power switches helps with power issues and upgrading to larger storage as you research and skill up. it's a fun process and i actually love it. i just wish that the links were based on UT and not real time.

The ship builder has a "flight check list" that gives you hints if something breaks. The intersystem cargo links has nothing like that and it constantly breaks. Spending time trying to understand why your network of intersystem cargo stopped working is frustrating. You can try different things: Save and reload. Restart the game. Tear down and rebuild. It seems completely random when it works or not. Even when you get things working they may break again even if you leave your "working" setup unmodified. My advise: Ignore this part of the game unless you enjoy traveling back and forth and trying random things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Good luck everyone - Enjoy your adventures :)

2 things. 1. do not put anything into storage from personal inventory could cause problems. 2. every system receiving/shipping MUST have HE3 connect to the back part. make it separate HE3 even if it comes threw different planet.(ive done it and it works. make sure to use enough of it) you need 5 HE3 for each one. do not use HE3 from your main storage that you are shipping to feed it.

Just a caution, but be careful when placing the robots. There's a bug that causes the game to freeze when you place them near an object. If they disappear next time you visit a base and you activate the scanner, the game will freeze/crash and render that base unusable. It's possible that even by leaving and attempting to go back that the fast travel point for it may disappear.

It should not be this hard to figure out

Honestly helium is useful for starsystem cargo links but as a power source seems silly. I just spam solar personally as I can make unlimited amounts

How do the ships moving the cargo work? Are they from your fleet, or did the game just provide animation of a ship that's not in your fleet? Also, do you have to assign a companion to shift cargo?

Cargo links work on real life game time not UT. They seem to actually offload when they land so that’s not just an animation

@warren1301

It’s just a constant loud annoying animation that has “some” correlation to when your 500 gets delivered in real game time…approx.

Cargo links only transfer from storage during play time so for example if u skip time and have lots of resource u will have to wait in game time for the items to transfer

Even local links between containers are incredibly fragile and unreliable, at least when dealing with large quantities. When reorganizing, I've dumped big amounts into containers, just for them to sit there instead of draining into downstream linked containers. Delete links and/or containers, relink, and it drains...well, at least until it runs into another bad link before the bottom of the link chain. It's a frustrating mess.

Interesting i'll have to try that

Thank you for the explanation since it is very thorough how ever, I have one dumb question: once everything is in the outpost do I need to transfer it to the ship or what do I do with the material ? besides getting xp what else can I do with it ? I am only level 14 coming from shooting looting game so please bear with me.

Does the same still apply with the interstellar outpost links . Spent two days tring to link them and they never show up. No ships no nothing! Help!

I have a guide on intersystem links - kzread.info/dash/bejne/apWlt9Wueq3Ofpc.html

How do you get the resources in the area to show on the top left side of your screen ? Is that a specific skill that we can acquire?

@tacticat My biggest issue is that all the inter-system cargo links run out of H3. I have it setup so my home base accepts all incoming resources. The problem is that only one of the other outposts has h3, so that H3 never gets to the other outpost (they are both linked to the home outpost, but not to each other). Even if I change it so I have h3 outgoing from my main receiving base from a dedicated storage unit that only has H3 inside , it ends up sending whatever other gases my base has in stock. And eventually the storage in the remote facility fills up with things other than H3 and the ships stop coming.

Yeah it’s a mess - the easiest way is to have H3 at the source unfortunately

You can accept incoming resources from your main base even if you dont have h3 in your base. Mine works like that and only need h3 to my outgoing base

Man i wanna see the home base now

A question: Do you know if there are bugs with shipping multiple materials through one inter-system transport link? Let's say we're on Andraphon and we're harvesting Aluminum, Beryllium, Iron, and Helium, no issue. We link their storages to our Outgoing box on the inter-system pad. In Tau Ceti, I have the Incoming box set to deposit to some solid containers and gas containers. Helium appears to come in. However, I only have Aluminum in my solid container. If I check the cargo link back on Andraphon, it says "Outgoing resources" and lists Aluminum and Beryllium, sometimes Iron and Helium, and sometimes just Iron or Aluminum. Any workarounds?

It’s all pretty jacked - I personally would put down 2-3 links and send one material per. But the cargo links are so so slow that I just go out post to outpost and gather 6-7k material at a time. You can hold unlimited weight for now. But they will for sure change

They need to let us have future magic like teleportation to explain inter connected planets

The cargo systems in this game should only be pemanantly linked if supplying he3 or set materials for machine crafting, best way is to build helium plant that provides to other systems, then as far as general materials have out going of each ore allu iron copper etc, each outpost i build has a cargo system that is not sending or recieving then once you need the resource you simply choose the resource from your list of outgoings a minuite later the materials land then disconnect from terminal leaving the connection able to be used again elsewhere when needed, this also allows you to connect to settlement links e.g akila at rear of landing pad next to the pad you land on when visiting to complete bounty board delivery missions, to summarize my bessel III sends copper iron allu and cobalt on seperate pads then has a pad to recieve he3 and an unused pad for any material i want shipped in at the time and disconnected once i have what i need, hope this makes sense

Very cool guide series very helpful! Thanks! Just wandering the utility to put an installation to farm so hard because with just half this I over flow with basic resources. I’m not sleeping just doing missions and look like cheating when you comme back and craft all of this, this is so much xp and credits. Doesn’t it make the game to easy?

I've played both ways and the game is pretty easy in general. I can go to an outpost and straight murder 50 dudes and level and make 40k. There is always a way to do X in this game - it's really just another X to do to pass the time

in my opinion this game lacks a ressourcefilter-module.
