The 1ST piece of advice I offer every new outpost builder. Go into settings and turn down outpost object rotation speed. You are super welcome
You mother fucker I love you
Change the overhead camera angle also...
This advice for console or pc or both
@@smartyoff2010 both. They spin WAY to fast especially when your having to fiddle something into a small space.
@@smartyoff2010 On PC you really have to turn the rotation all the way down to even have a chance to properly align stuff. Console might get away with a little bit more, but i reckon the default is still far too high
Years after fallout 4’s time in the sun, I return to your channel to find more base building ideas, happy to see the more things change, the more they stay the same
Nice work! Can't wait to see what new building stuff they come out with. Prefab structures are cool but I'm hoping for some smaller bits to break it up. Walls would be cool and hopefully more settlers in each outpost.
Mods Like thus will Take Dome time. Atleast until the creation kit is Out
@@Linkinpurk"dome time"?
This is exactly what I needed! Thanks dude! I really wish there was a secondary door option for less hostile planets, more outdoor bits too like patio tables with umbrellas for example, or a fire pit etc..
Posters with all the elements for labelling containers ... or ingame-labelable signs.
Scaffolding and platforms to build on ... higher walls to place inside of habs (like at least character height and a bit of thickness) ...
Man i am happy, that the CreationKit is announced :)
@@bulletsix yep, I have no doubt the building is gonna get way better in time. But a lot of things I could think of adding as well, the storage signage would be great.. actually surprising they don’t have that in here
They need to add more outpost variants, I'm shocked you can't build walls. Your crew also won't use gaming tables.
Might be the best outpost build/design video I've seen. Excellent work. I've been looking for design/decoration ideas and this was so helpful.
FYI: Don't move the outpost beacon. There is currently a bug that can cause your out post to disappear. It can also cause CTD if you try to use your scanner near the outpost after the beacon has been moved.
Well if I had only looked at this yesterday...i just moved my Beacon lol
Rip to your outpost
Maybe just lucky but I've done this a ton and not had an issue.
@@schitzoflink8612 "can" is the operative word ... i made this too, and built a ton of stuff after. But better safe than sorry, won`t do again for now.
you think thats why i cannot edit my ship on my personal landing pad thing? its only at 1 of my outposts and i cannot figure out how
What a great start. I am nowhere near ready to start building yet but getting ideas.
I've lost so many hours in ship building when I planned on making a quick adjustment. I fear I will get lost in outpost building . Artifacts meh, ain't git no time fo dat. I'm building a metropolis
Hey old friend, good to see you back on the CZcams (you probably never left)
I used to follow you constantly when I played Fallout 4. You taught me so much about building in that game, and here you are doing it up again.
Thanks,
Dave
Love the vid! I have a hard time visualizing building, but if I can watch someone build, my ideas can take better shape in my mind.
something to also note getting the angles can be tricky with the controls but 99% of items you build come into being aligned to you so if you use that yellow line at the bottom of the building hud and line it up with what you are trying to build it will be aligned already.
YES! omg I've seen all your fallout 4 settlement builds. I am SO glad you're doing starfield outposts! woohoo! It's a new age! All my favorite fallout channels are doing Fallfield videos! or, Star rim, umm... wait, what are we playing again?
What a great time to be a No Respawns subscriber:)
Until we get Airlocks without banister rails, I start with the Airlock.
I adjust the height so the rails on the 1st bit of catwalk at the bottom of the stairs is just under the ground. So at least that gives you semblance of sensible stairs rails.
I know it's a small thing, but the whole thing with banister rails sloping streight into the ground annoys, as it did with fallout.
as someone who came from playing Fallout 4 (and very recently FO76) THANK YOU! Very grateful
Nice timing I just found a spot for mine thanks g
FINALLY. I've been waiting for the Grand Master of FO4 settlement building to start showing us the way in Starfield.
This gives me ideas. Thanks for the work!
After years of learning from your f4 settelement building, it's really nice to watch you make content again for Starfield. Look forward to more builds to come!
What was wrong with supply lines Todd. They worked Todd. Why can’t there be some form of shared outpost inventory Todd. Incoming and outgoing are the only two words I know now Todd. 16x the frustration Todd.
i feel this in my soul - dammit, Todd
@@norespawns It’s not just me! Damn you Todd!
Awesome build man, love the vids!
There are so many ship building vids but not many outpost builds, thank you!
I think the issue is unless you have a small ship the huge landing pad is needed and not being able to place shit on it is really limiting. Best you can do is flank with industrial lights and use a hab, airlock, and long corridor as a walkway near the pad.
How about putting a small structure at the side of the landing pad tall enough to the have a few corridors layered out in an L shape going to another structure near by. Make a few of these to give your landing pad life. Admittedly I have not done this myself so the landing pad may be too tall for this to work but if it works then brilliant!! 😁
@norespawns I recently learned that you can place the Large Storage Crates (interior type) in the outer areas, and use the cargo links w/ them. They also hold a decent amount. This would allow even more storage AND decor features outside.
Arthur Two Sheds Jackson!
I know this is all about building just thought I'd add some tips, by setting down the air lock first sets the foundation, as if you place the building down before hand sometimes the airlock will not stretch as high, also a none habitation planet will not allow for husbandry or botany. Not only can you change variations of the windows but you can also change the width of the inner door ways if you omit the hallways when snapping the buildings together.
Another little trick I discovered is that you can place down the large containers side-by-side getting around that hard snap. To do this place down the large container first then place down the smallest container so that it snaps offset to the large container then grab the next large container and set it down so that it offsets to the smaller container then move the smaller container to snap to the other side of the large container and it will align the large containers to start a new row right down beside the first row, this is only if you don't want them to snap on top of each other, you can keep them all down at a reachable level.
Great video! Had no idea you could add windows 🤯
Good stuff. I'd love walls, like concrete slab walls, with the ability to color them to match ground color.
Great video it has given me lots of good ideas. If Bethesda is watching, can they please add a trade authority landing pad that will come and pick up whatever you link to it and automatically pay you please!!!!!!
There's no fences/walls?
It’s crazy how proud BGS was of having an animation for using the ladder but they failed to put in the ability to move between shelters with a ladder.
I just want a 1x1x2 or 3 story elevator or lift hab in ship builder
The way I use the Scan Booster, while debating its usefulness which is up to the player I’ll explain. I put down an Outpost, quick power facility, drop the best Scanner Booster (Military). I have high scanning skills also. I jump to the highest elevation on top my ship as it’s often the highest elevation around in vicinity of Outpost. From there I scan to the very furthest I can see in perimeter around Outpost. That just lets me know if I need to move the outpost beacon meters in any direction to a better spot. If you’re close to an elevated mountain, you can see or scan far in any direction you can see. Can also drop a Sentry Tower as it has very high elevation and if your on a low gravity planet it’s easier to boot jump to the top. Now that vantage point you can use to scan the entire 360 perimeter for resources beyond your Outpost of to relocate the same Outpost to a more favorable spot. You don’t have to do a lot of walking. But that’s how I use and play with the Scan Booster and it does show you with your skills what resources are well beyond your Outpost perimeter. If you just want a quick Outpost you don’t need to do any that. But if you want to help make sure you got the best spot in that entire area, it helps.
You can place many power sources on top of habs. On my hyla 2 mountain top outpost I placed advanced wind turbines on top of circle habs. They don't clip or appear inside or through ceiling at all.
nice video thanks for the advice
WOOOOOOOOOO heck Yes!
I miss the pieces from fallout a lot. Why they chose to only include prefab structures and not walls/doors/stairs/rails/fences etc blows my mind. I’ve been dreaming about space settlements for years and we get this. Man i hope they add more to it because there is just no aesthetic appeal to these at all.
Creation Club is confirmed coming to Starfield, so you know there will be a lot of paid mods that pad out settlement building, just like in Fallout 4. Of course over on PC, similar/better mods will be available for free.
I miss my container skycraper outpost in fallout 4
I really wish they had stairs like FO76 so we could get on top of crates and roofs to build on. Would provide a lot more depth
I understand this and I felt the same when trying to get on my high storage crates but doesn’t the aerial camera view alleviate the issue when building high up. The aerial view can be a bit weird though in regards to its angle
Does it give you vibe like 76 when building these bases etc coz I'm wanted to invest time in this buid system as I'm super fan of the 76 ststem6
yeah does feel similar - we did have more structural bits in 76, but that's after a few years of the atom store, so no doubt Starfield will catch up
@@norespawns will have to go fully in see I can make something work and yea of corse 76 is leaps and bounds from where we started with it so I agree it will get better and better aight nice one
I found myself taking pictures of abandon outpost that BGS created so I can recreat them for myself.
How are you not having trouble with the snapping range
I tried building outposts, but I just found them unnecessary, like upgrading ships, which is pointless, as space travel is just a collection of loading screens.
First thing, where did you put your ship if your building where you landed? Just a hint would be helpful.
if you place a few structures down on your build area near your ship, if causes your ship to be placed away from your outpost wheh you fast travel there
I hope there will be a Wasteland Workshop style DLC for this game adding many more building pieces. Till then I expect as many building mods that Fallout had. I really hope for Vault style Ramps and Stairways so that you don't feel so restricted when dealing with elevation. The other thing that could use a bit of work is the hallway lighting. As you walk through a longer hall made of short sections the lighting transition from section to section flickers. I would love to see premade 2, 3, 4, and 5 long combined walkways that have a single lighting mesh to stop the flicker. I know Bethesda has issues with the game engine since it's so old that the original coding was written on Parchment with a Quill but still, I Expect Modders will take up the slack.
By the way, if you ever do a video where you decorate some outpost or "house" don't forget to mention that the mannequins are bugged. Many players (me included) lost outfits they placed on because those items are bugged and disappear (with the equipment) when you move to another planet. (Many Reddit posts about this "Bethesda's feature")
I luv yea vids mate. But Dang u make the building look super easy lol. I tried doing a few decorations on my Mantis & I just gave up the controls are just horrendous !!! So my ??? to u is are you using keybrd cntrls or a Xbox controller for your building?? I tried using my Xbox controller & as I said I gave up. OH the base building prt was a pain to cause I couldn't raise or lower objects to see how structures would look either way.
I'm having trouble bringing resources to planets can you list your ships cargo size and materials needed in the ship to build this?
placing down tables and chairs stream please
candidate for the 24hr stream
I really wish we could stack habs on crates
How did you elevate the bah off the ground? 01:10 EDIT: slowed the vid down and cought the ADJUST HEIGHT (RS). Must be that style of hab only as other habs dont have this on PC.
Any interest in doing ship building tutorials? Like how to build a Millennium Falcon or just other cool stuff
I wonder if you can get a mod that disabled the snapping.
What would make sense is if they used the same grid system as ship builder, with a foundation you can place, to build above the ground like a catwalk.
I've been playing since early access and still press B to go to my inventory
You can move the outpost tower?! Why am I just learning this now?
Fun fact your landing zone for your outpost can disappear and won't be able to find your outpost it will mark the planet but that's about it
This happens when you move your Outpost Beacon from it's original placement. For whatever reason the game wants your Outpost Beacon to be near the center of your outpost build area. Move it too far away from center and you lose your planet outpost marker. I had this happen. After moving my Outpost Beacon back to the center of my outpost build area, I was able to get the planet map marker to return. Short story: for now, don't move your Outpost Beacon once you place it. And if you do, keep it close to center.
I’ve given up on outposts, way too much investment required for little reward. The ship building is the new settlement/camp building in this game. Hopefully they can fix it with updates / DLC
Hey youvknow how the workaround for tall foundations?
Davey boy iv just started starfield are you jumping back on
First things first... you're on console, while I'm on PC, and I notice something....
The lateral movements of your objects (2:10, the storage) is insanely smooth. On PC it's a jerky affair that makes lining things up almost impossble!!!
I've found a line in the settings file that adjusts rotation speed but I can't find any line that adjusts how rapidly things move laterally. If it's there, what line is it!??!??!?!?!?!?
I love base building and spent many hours in FO4 creating whole towns. The current building mechanics in Starfield are so frustrating I just can't do it. The snap distance alone makes me want to punch my screen. And don't even get me started on supply lines...
i havent started any outpost building yet but i just dont see the point? like all you do is harvest resources from it, which you can just buy from vendors anyway. you dont need to build workshops because they're on your ship already.
fallout 4 made sense because you were building up a settlement to survive the wasteland and had to defend against raiders. this one just feels empty when you're building up a base on an isolated moon somewhere by yourself.
ship building is far more fun.
Does anyone know how to raise the hubs higher on series x? Trying to build my first outpost but can’t figure this out.
when you place an hab, you'll then get the options to change its height - this is easier in first person rather than the top down view
Best advice I can offer is to not waste your time building outposts until Bethesda fixes the bugs. Outpost building is by far the buggiest part of the entire game, and there’s nothing more frustrating than spending hours building a megapolis and storing a bunch of loot there, just to have the game bug out and not allow you to land there anymore. It’s happened too many times to be a fluke, and it needs fixing
What is the point of building a outpost
So far, they only seem to be good for farming resources. Either via the ground or greenhouses. I guess you could make one into a "player home", but honestly the base game doesn't have enough building options to make that worthwhile, in my opinion. Hopefully mods will add more like they did with Fallout 4 settlements. Or even an official DLC like Bethesda did with that game as well.
Is anyone else crew just huddled in one area ?
Hey, do some ship builds!
Why haven’t Bethesda hired you yet?
I am beyond annoyed that doing walls Is such a pain in the ass Especially since I'm on console.
Needs machine guns in case supermutants attack
the game is better now
Make a smugglers base
