Thaaaank you. I needed this tutorial. Easy to understand.

I don't like buying resources from the stores. Nothing wrong with buying resources from the store. It just, I love walking around on planets and gathering up all the resources i need to craft. I find it relaxing.

Keep up with the starfield content man. There’s a core group that love the game but most of the YouTube coverage of starfield are just negative reviews.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was incredibly helpful and I now have several outposts spanning different planets thanks to this. It was short, sweet, and super easy to follow. Having the shopping list was a nice touch; made getting started very fast since I already had most of what I needed. 300+ hours in the game and I finally learned how to make an outpost.

I’m actually in the 1% of something now!
I can totally understand why most players haven’t messed with the cargo links, it doesn’t really impact your game that much unless you want to put a lot of time in

Subscribed. Thank you. I just decided to recommit to Starfield especially with Shattered Space coming. Great video.

This is 1st video I've found that actually explains properly how to make a cargo link

[skeletonboones]

I gave up on base building quick during my first play through. This video convinced me to try again. Thanks for making it look easy!

[Oronjalllo]

This video was amazing. Ive been getting back into Starfield and cant find much content like how yours is. Its amazing and a very well put together video. I wish you success and hope you continue posting

[theaarpgs]

Would base building be better if you could just drop your resources into the transfer container and have them auto- sort into individual storage containers?

Thank you! After a year of playing this game I'm just now starting my outpost journey.

Very helpful video. Just hoping you have more like this 😂👍🏾

Great basic explanation of cargo links in general. That said, the particular moon you selected, with minimal effort you can find a location with Iron, Aluminum, and Helium all together for the first outpost, removing the need for the second outpost just for aluminum. If you do that, you basically make this single outpost your main to branch out to the rest of the galaxy (using inter-system cargo links). You need helium for fuel at every outpost where you intend to use cargo, which you can ship out from this first base.

Thank you for this straight forward explanation. I currently am on NG3+ already and still haven't build an outpost as it looked to complicated. You make it easy to understand though and I am going to give this a shot

[TheCeticZombie]

Liked and subbed. I haven’t built my first outpost yet so this will definitely help me.
Wouldn’t mind seeing videos on crafting weapon mods. I haven’t really played this game since launch but I’m looking forward to the upcoming expansion.

[draebern]

Thanks a lot. Always found this a bit much to learn, but this makes is so much better! :D

Great work and awesome outpost tutorial :)

[Wimmle]

I found this very extremely helpful I really liked the format, speed and style 🎉 🎉

I think regarding cargo links that Bethesda should consider adding major population centers as both cargo destinations to gain experience and credits, as it is setup now, but also add them as sources to link to for buying large quantities of a resource. It makes sense, for example, to be able to create a trade link with Mars for iron instead of having to buy in small quantities or mine all of it yourself. That would make these links trade links also. It would be a nice addition.

[balinthebrave]

Thank you so easy to understand and well presented

[philliporr]

Thank you! Clean clear video. Im excited to keep wathing
