All my homies hate Androphon Andies. ENDGAME OUTPOST: th-cam.com/video/PLxxA_395XA/w-d-xo.html I MADE A TIKTOK TO STOP THIEVES- www.tiktok.com/@thevashcowaii FOR THOSE STRUGGLING TO FIND THE SPOT: Like I said in the video, you gotta look and find where the zones meet BEFORE landing. I'm talking pixels of difference, It's a matter of precision, not luck, people are able to find this and it's not just me. Sometimes the area will generate with very slight differences, so look around after you land and just go for biome intersection before complaining you can't find it. If it helps, save before making a landing point so you don't have to deal with a landing area on the map if you don't find it on the first try. People reporting they're finding "all but one" material are usually later editing their own comments to say they were on the wrong side of the mountain. Gotta wander around my guys, but the most important part is finding the biome intersection. MACRO - GENERAL IDEA: -E press -50ms wait -E release -50ms wait -left click down -50ms wait -left click release -50ms wait -E press -50ms wait -E release Settings: -Trigger: Toggle -Repeat: Constantly -Repeat Delay: 200ms You can factor in mouse positioning if you would like, but otherwise the idea is that you leave your mouse in a position to click the amount up to 99, and E selects the recipe and finishes the batch craft before the 200ms delay kicks in before the next cycle starts.
@@kalanischumann3758 Me too, I guess we can still setup separate outposts on the same planet, the UT time hack will still work, we will just have to Juggle our resources from the 2 locations.
Even if you don't end up using this exact spot, this is an amazing tutorial on how the Outposts function without exposing much else of the game. Thank you and well done.
Easily the best possible starter farm. One improvement tho to the selling method, Akila City has a Trade Authority (behind the bar on the right side after entrering the city) that also has a chair inside it literally similiar as on the video, but with the difference that it has 11000 credits instead of 5000. That way selling stuff becomes over 2x faster.
Selling stuff isn't that useful, mainly because it weighs so much you're not going to be able to make 10 steps without going into the red on stamina. That makes traveling to your ship take forever, for a very small amount of money. You also don't need much money in this game. I ended my first playthrough with over 1.5 million credits leftover, and I did all the side quests, literally all of them. Personally I like to sell stuff at The Den, because it has two trade authority access points, both a panel and a person, and they total 16000 credits available at them, with an easy seat nearby, and doesn't require much walking.
@@peoplez129 I have over 3 million credits and a bounty over 20 million. I just got my first power yesterday. Lol, I really should start doing the main quest. No one needs all that money. It's about wanting it. Lol, Pirate life, baby!
@@peoplez129 Over encumbrance doesn't matter at all, you can't walk yourself to death. You just get to a sliver of HP and then don't die. So you can just walk around with 90,000 KG of crap no problem
WARNING! Please save before landing on the planet. Make sure to choose the Mountains biome from the star map before landing. Despite Vash's insistence that the location is pixel perfect on the map, the landing spot doesn't have to be that incredible precise. As long as you choose to land in the Mountains region close to that area on the map as seen in the video, the game actually pulls a random map seed out of a predetermined list for you to explore. After landing, look for the black peek next to the coral beds as seen in the video and if you don't find the correct materials after some searching, then reload from your previous save and try again. All you're doing is trying to re-roll the same map seed as Vash shows in his video. It took me several tries to get the same exact spot. The problem I had was that I landed in that spot with the wrong map seed and I think it saves that seed once you land there. I couldn't figure out a way to remove the map seed so I had to load from an early save before entering the system.
I wonder if the planet loads this when you first enter orbit because every time I land I get the same crap area with no peaks or corals. When I finally find the aluminum and corals, there’s no peaks. Closest I can get is getting 4 out of the 5
For those who are having trouble finding it, like me, you need to land in the mountain part once you find your cross section. I kept landing in the rocky desert and mine looked nothing like the video and didn't have the biome split. The moment I landed a pixel over in the Mountain biome, the black peak was right in front of me and I could get all 5 resources.
It doesn't have to be at this exact location. It's a pain but if you find another intersection of the 3 biomes you can find all the resources there as well.
This is a GREAT starter outpost. I only have recommendation: Instead of selling your stuff to the Shepheard shop, I actually HIGHLY recommend going to he trade authority (still in Akilah city, behind Galbank). It has a chair right next to the NPC (like the Shepheard shop), but it has 11000 credits instead of 5000.
Tips for finding this spot: 1) SAVE your game from the ship orbiting the planet. This is where you will restart many many times if you miss the landing spot. a) If you didn't save and you get the wrong spot, you will now have a "Landing Spot" obscuring that entire area on the planet map. To remove that spot, you have to land FIVE times in other spots on the planet. On the fifth time, your first LZ should disappear and you can retry. SAVE this time! (I did this method lol) 2) You want PIXEL difference in biomes. Try to find the general location using the planet map at 1:48, then click once. Your selected landing spot should say desert/hill/mountain. Now click again to remove it. Now find a spot where moving one PIXEL changes biome. What worked for me: One PIXEL down, Hills. One PIXEL up, Mountain. One PIXEL left, Desert. I found Mountain again and finally clicked X to land. 3) You are picking this precise spot for the sole reason of finding the mountain in 2:07. If you get out and can't find the mountain, LEAVE / RELOAD. a) Keep in mind you could possibly land on the other side of the mountain! You don't have to land in the exact location in 2:07, just find that mountain. It's fairly easy to identify if you hit the general area. 4) Then start looking for the spot at 2:35. His jumpcut between 2:31 and 2:35 is disappointing because I had no idea where exactly he was! From the landing point at 2:07, his spot is to the right on the base of the mountain, down in the area that looks like water (but it's not). However, the important point is to go around the base of the mountain and try to find a spot where you get a bunch of minerals. You can try his area but he implies it could be anywhere around that mountain base. 5) If you don't get the minerals you want (example: platinum, but no aluminum) try reloading! Now that you know where it is, it's just a matter of forcing the game to procedurally generate that area again. 6) I don't think a surface map screenshot would help anyone find this because I believe the various areas of interest are procedurally generated too. For example, from my outpost, I have an unknown to the SE and one to the NW. Others have reported different landmarks.
Thank you, I was losing my freaking mind. As for the outpost placement, like others said look for the very black dirt near the base of the mountain. It'll have all the required elements, it will take some walking around in what feels like circles. Look for the big mushroom calcium deposit looking things.
Yeah this was me. I found 5, but Platinum instead of Iron... tried to reload. lost save.. NOW.. I am trying to find it again. Thank you though.. this has been a great help.
Fantastic guide, most outpost xp farms usually look stressing and arduous more than anything but this one was easy and only took 30 min to set up. I did calculations for controller players, and once set up, the process to sleep/craft/reset takes about 3 mins for 7500xp (10hr sleep/16 storage crates per resource/4 extractors each). The location was the most annoying part to find but once i did the rest went well. Much thx
For those of you who can't find the spot, where he lands he's on one side of the mountain, but the spot with the five resources is exactly on the other side (more on the Mesa area). So walk around the mountain for a bit. I found it in ~ 10 minutes. Great guide, Vash!
1) Thank you for this, it is awesome! 2) If anyone is still struggling with finding the spot: Go to 1:45 of the video and pause. Just to the left of the landing zone, you'll see 3 little dark dots. I lined my landing diamond up such that the spot closest to us was centered with the upper left portion of the diamond. Like the dots make an arrow pointing to where you want to land (slightly lower than where Vash Cowaii has theirs at this point in the video). Find the biomes, be sure the mountain is selected, land. Look left, that's the mountain. You want to be on the right-hand slope of that mountain (where you see the most colors). WARNING: Some folks recreating this vid are putting it in the wrong area. - There is another 5 resource spot nearby, but it has Platinum, not Aluminum. No Aluminum means you can't trigger the rest. 3) Build turrets! My second sleep cycle ended and a squad of pirates came storming in and attacked wind turbines. The did a lot of damage before I was able to take them all out. @Vash Cowaii Thank you again!!!
Dude, this was such a help. Make more Starfield content. I beg you. As for everyone saying this doesn’t work on the Xbox, they are incorrect. I decided to check this on my Xbox, & although it was much more difficult to manipulate the cursor so finely as to only move a few pixels at a time, I did find the spot. One other caveat is that the black peak mountain is not directly adjacent to the landing area. So just know this - if you land just barely inside the mountain line of the 3-biome zone, first make sure all 3 are present & then look for dark buttes in the distance. This was the only area I landed in within the 3-biome zone on the Xbox that had these buttes, which I recognized from the PC spot. The dark peak mountain on the Xbox was much further away from my ship than the PC version as well, like over/around an entire other mountain, so don’t be afraid to explore a bit if those buttes are present.
if anyone struggling finding the exact or similar spot like I did searching for 3 hours, just make sure you are looking after a BLACK ground, for some reason the intersections between Hill, Rocky Desert and Mountains is a very very black soil, if you actually lucky enough or wait enough for daytime, the black area will be much easier to find from far as well, very important if you landed in the wrong area but very close to correct one and want to fix the exact pixel of landing, you can remove you big landing mark on map by just put down one outpost beacon close to your ship before take off, go to it and hold R to delete that outpost , then fly away and your landing mark is no more. then try to find the correct landing spot once again until you find the spot.
@@stro3277 I was able to find a spot that had all the resources, but it took a LONG time and it was not exactly where the video portrayed it. It is worth finding though!
My god! Finding the right spot was more challenging then beating Mass effect on Nightmare Mode. This shit had me looking for 4 hours and some change. However I'm so fucking happy I could care less how long it took I'm loving it xD
For people on PC struggling to find the spot, turn your mouse sensitivity all the way down. I set mine to 200dpi. The pixel you want will say mountains, but one pixel left says desert and one down says hills. Once I figured that out I could do it completely consistently. For me personally I do this with 3 outposts instead of 1 so I can get more resources per resource type at once, with all 3 outposts almost overlapping with the final container for each material type being near each other at the edges.
I did land on 3 different spots, that has all 3 biomes within a pixel next to each other. No luck finding more than 3 minerals at once. Do people consider, that the planet generation has a random factor? It gets randomly generated everytime you leave the planet and land on it again. I landed on the exact same spot twice and one had plenty of iron, the next try had no iron at all...
My boss sent me this video. As apposed to other TH-cam guides, this actually was EASIER to do than it seemed like it would be. I started a whole new play through just so I wouldn’t waste that sweet sweet XP. Thanks for such a clear and well organized video!
Legend, thank you. I watched two outpost videos and they both said Androphon was the optimal planet to use and no other had iron and aluminum together. Each of their productions were sloppy and I had to use ideas from both to create it, your guide however blows them out of the water. You sir, are a Legend.
Won't work for this video but if you're further into the game, and can access the Fleet's ship, they have multiple people you can sell to and they're all beside one another.
I must have a mental disability, because I saw this video a week ago, and could not for the life of me find the right spot. Searched my ass off for the right location, and then again for the right spot to put down an outpost that had all the right resources. I gave up. Then tonight, I find it first damned try. Thank you for this. If anyone needs me, I'll be toiling away making adaptive frames to supply the entire universe.
I just followed the steps and have an outpost up and running. It took a few tries (Xbox) but I finally saw the black peak you showed in the video. I actually landed on the other side of it and scrambled to the correct side. At any rate... loved the great info, the calling out other creators that just regurgitate each other's content, and the no fluff presentation. Subbed and looking forward to more Starfield vids.
@christopherrisley6464 I zoomed in on the video to the spot he had right before landing then found pretty much the same spot from there on my TV. Then just fine tune from there until you can move the cursor just one tiny spot and get a different biome in three directions. Once you get that, land in the mountain one.
Wait... this is too simple. Thanks for this! Kind of a shame selling is such a PITA - to bad you can't have a crew member handle the selling chore(s) so you could do something else.
Best Starfield video in all of youtube. No useless conversation, no spoil, nothing but pure information with video support. And a nice tackle on people talking about stuff they clearly don't understand. Thank you !
Not really. You might get more resources but you will have less of those resources because there is a finite amount of space in each outpost. You don't see him putting down 10 extractors like you see in other vids because there isn't enough of the materials.
Not only that, but this appears to be mostly luck. It’s clearly not consistently repeatable based on the comments alone let alone the fact that I, and a different friend have both spent well in excess of four hours apiece looking for this location without the ability to find all for minerals.
You are both clearly missing the point, this is about information without all the bullshit around it. No 3 min long "please subscribe so my kids can eat", no "sponsor", no nothing. Pure informative video. And about finding the exact location, this is a pixel perfect click you have to do, the same goes for all the times you try to find the demarcation between 2 biomes, like finding a coast.
This has to be the best explanation to outposts I’ve come across. You have the ability to explain a topic which may seem overwhelming to some, in a digestible manner. Kudos to you!
This is one of the best made video game guides I've ever watched, extremely simple and gets right to the point while also explaining everything as in depth as it needs to be, nothing more nothing less, thank you for this!
This is the first outpost video I’ve seen that’s worth watching. I didn’t even bother building an outpost on my first play through because all the other videos ive seen made it look like a pain
Well played, sir! I hate how content creators seem to not care about putting out the same old info that everyone else is already out there just to make another video.. This was original, fantastic advice, and very well executed, very nice!
I found this planet by accident following a quest. When I went to sleep before the mission, I was shocked that no one was talking about how awesome this planet is.
Took me 6-7 tries to get the right spot. Half the times I landed, there was no black mountain. Sometimes there was a black mountain, but Platinum instead of Aluminum, or the Iron vein didn't extend far enough to be reachable.
This video is legit. It took me about 2 hours to find it because I dont listen correctly but I found it. Look for that big black mountain, thats the key
I just built my xp farm, trickiest part was finding the right spot where all 4 elements meet but you can just reload a save from orbit and try again, amazing method dude thanks
This is a great tutorial. I think what can be helpful is dump all the items on the floor of the ship, go to ship builder and modify one component and that will go to the cargo, even over capacity. Then you can move faster and sell.
Dude....after watching about 20 videos on how to do these outposts, and still struggling on how to make and utilize outpost properly, i came upon yours...simple...well explained...and no nonsence filler. Thank you i am now making these outposts like a pro....please continue these "starfield videos for dummies", tremendously helpful...you definately earned a sub...
I've seen quite a few outpost guides from different people, and this is easily the most competent and well explained. Bonus points for the calm and soothing manner
XBOX TIP: use the right thumbstick (default controls) and use quick, small movements to slowly move the map around. It's a mountain terrain that is the most south and west you can go in the area in the video. It took me about 15 minutes and two tries, and then once I realized the right joystick moved things around a lot slower, it became a lot easier. Good luck and can confirm it works!
This was fantastic. Precise. I found the location with zero problems almost exactly where the video shows: Black peak on a part of the planet that looks like Australia with three intersecting biomes, foothills of the black peak is a sweet spot and it goes from there. Amazing vid my man!
Great guide. I had trouble finding the spot initially but realized that you need to click the mountain habitat at that spot. Clicking hills or desert won’t bring you to the right location
Just a heads up: rather than the general store in Akila, the Trade Authority vendor in New Atlantis (in the Well, which you can reach from the spaceport and going through the elevator near Jemison Mercantile) has a chair right next to her. She has 11000 credits and you only need to wait 24 hours (since Jemison has roughly 2:1 local time to UT conversion) which makes it WAY faster to sell your huge quantities of crafted loot.
Akila's TA has the same, though of course time is different there. But I would definitely go with a Trade Authority over a store. Or run around and sell to all of them, then wait.
@@starfieldexplorer001 True, for me, 2 is fine though. I'm not trying to race through the game, and I have a house in Akila with crafting materials and a workbench. Plus there's the two chests you can get from vendors.
I am so fucking frustrated. I have spent the last 2 hours making landing spots and wandering around trying to find this area. I really wish OP hadn’t cut the part that showed exactly where the ship is in relation to this area. I cannot find the place that has all 4 resources. The closest i have found is nickel, cobalt, and aluminum,
I dont mean to sound ungrateful. This is a fantastic video with a ton of extremely valuable info. Im just frustrated that I’m not finding the right area.
Holy crap that took me hours. My best advice is to just keep trying to land until you notice you land into the biome split then search around the peak if you see it. I feel like if the video showed him landing and looking around it would make it more clear but great instructions on the rest thank you sm
Thank you for this guide, it took about 30 minutes, but I was able to find it. Recommended doing a quicksave before you land until they patch the ability to remove a landing site.
It's already been proven that the landing sites tile each other. But, loading more than one tile crashes the game. Hopefully they just get rid of the barriers between zones so that the planets become fully traversable.
Can confirm it is possible Xbox peeps. Tried for 3 hours last night & went to bed annoyed. Got it first try in under 10 minutes today. Focus more on choosing a landing location showing the 3 biomes than running around. If I stand at my beacon, there is an unknown structure 634M NE of my location, & another unknown structure 784M almost due W if it helps. Sorry I haven’t explored more to know their actual names. Keep your heads up!
It's tricky to find that one sweet spot on the planet where the biomes intersect and then a real royal pain to actually find that little patch of land on the surface, but once you do, boy is it indeed worth it. Really appreciate this video - this location is indeed a massive resource generator and money-maker.
It took me about an hour of searching landing zones on Xbox, but I found it. My zone ended up basically exactly where yours was in the video. Use the blobs to the south and west of your cursor for general placement, then really fine tune it to where if you move as little as possible and set a zone, you see the other biomes.
guess its a hit or miss thing with everyone im seeing, some people find it and some dont, i wish there was more info regarding where exactly like any civilian buildings or which compass direction, etc
i actually just tried, you can either by landing else where from in the planet or if theres one that you cant seem to get rid of i just set down an outpost beacon and removed it so it was gone when i landed else where @@whitey4841
Yeah, I was going to ignore outposts, but this is such a simple XP farm even if you just drop the stuff on the ground, it's great for opening up the next tier of challenge before you go off and do the next chain of missions. If i'm gonna go kill mooks, it's nice to actually get credit towards my (ballistic/rifle/shotgun/boost pack/whatever).
This is the kind of content I love. No minutes of pointless and unnecessary preamble, no useless information that we'll never need, just a straightforward, no-nonsense guide for someone like me coming back to the game to start a new character and not wanting to go through the grind of farming aliens. This is the best starting planet and outpost I've seen. It shits all over Andraphon and whatever other planets people mention. And it's ludicrously easy to set up. That deserves a sub in its own right. BTW, I'm not sure if it's a mod I'm using, or something Bethesda added, but I can craft 999 items instead of 99 items and it levels up much faster.
I found it on my third attempt, remember to land on the mountains biome, if you do it you’ll land in the exact same place. If the entrance to your ship is in the front part just walk a bit to the right. If you land on any other biome it won’t work, just quicksave before choosing where to land.
Thank you for that, I spent quite a bit of time looking for an intersection of all 3 biomes with no luck. Saw your comment, made sure I landed on the mountain biome right next to the other two, and found a suitable spot within a few minutes.
I found it and i think this helped. Not sure i am going to be building any more outposts after this one though. I've been getting along just fine without them and its too much of a pain to find the perfect pixel to build on. Also its freezing rain in my game. My character has frostbite from it, and i like how i can just snooze on a bed in freezing rain while i gather materials lol.
@@zombiefreak7718 You can, but you have to create new landing sites on the moon. The game keeps the last 4 landing sites marked on your map. So to remove the first, you'd need to create 4 more.
I was able to get it after reloading my save maybe 5 times. I am playing on Xbox. When finding your landing zone: there are dark 3 dots on the scanned view of the planet to the upper left of the "Australia" looking iron deposit. If you make a line straight up from the 2 orange nickel deposits and line up your landing icon so the bottom dot is slightly left and above the left corner of the icon, that will be the area. Make sure that you are in the mountain region, but the hills and rocky desert are only a pixel or two away zoomed all the way in. I kept getting platinum instead of either iron or aluminum, but on my fifth or sixth save reload I found it no problem. With a little patience you should have no problems. Happy exploring everyone!
As long as you are not out of your ships cargo limit. The point he made here is you go into the ship and just drop it then you can fast travel with as much stuff as you want with very little actual cargo space:)
I got the exact same spot...unbelievable and awesome tutty. Love the step by step without the long winded explainations..do by following...exactly what I was looking for...IGN lead me to you.
Xbox Series X Found this exact location, by using the Comments and the Video for reference. 2:07 that Black Mountain, is key to finding it. If you land and see that exact Mountain, youre very close to it If you have multiple Landing Site Markers on the map, land at each of them and drop an Outpost. Remove Outpost, get back in your ship. Take off and then look at the Map. The Marker will be gone. Hope this helps.
For those who like me struggle to find the exact spot on the planet: with plenty of landing attemps finding spots that only resembles the one show in the video without the resource combination we are looking for, I found later that there are multiple locations with the 3 biomes intersecated in a matter of pixel distance. I finally find the right one (that is equal of the one show in the video) when I look for the landing point on the position shown in the planet map in the video, and when I try to landing, I had rocky desert in the top left of the immaginary triangle biomes intersection, the right says mountains and the bottom says hills, as other comments explain. Only if you found the three biomes intersecated in this order you'll find the right spot. Once landed in the mountain section, the black peak is 150m away in front of you.
I followed this formula and got it first try. Don't attempt to get it in the exact same spot as homeboy does in the video. Just try to find that fine line where all 3 biomes converge. I landed in the Hills area.
I tried landing in 5 different spots around the appointed area and still only found 4 resources. So after 45 min of running around like an idiot I took my frustrations out on nearby pirate locations. Lol. I'll try again with this new information.
I tried searching for another 2 hours last night and I can find spots with 5 resources but none of them have Aluminum as one...its always platinum.@@warriorhound7000
Following the video, I made this outpost exactly as described. It's been the best. I stopped questing at level 17. I'm now at level 76 and I've started questing again. Money is no longer an issue too. I'm at about 1mill credits with some beefy ships too. I used a mod to give vendors more money which saved me waiting hours and hours in real life for the vendors to reset. Leveling is getting a bit slow because I'm running out of resources now. Still using the basic storage containers. I need to upgrade those so I can craft more. Thanks so much for this video. It's helped a ton. I'm yet to do ng+ so I might build your end game outpost in one of my other play throughs 😊
Just got the game last night and have been searching for non sugar coated guides and this guide is indeed not sugar coated, thank you committed gamer that I can trust.
Thanks so much. Simple and efficient. I'm level 27 and haven't put much into outpost building because there seemed to be so many better uses of my time. This is a no brainier though. Subbed.
Thanks for the great video!! I was worried about trying to build an outpost. Thanks to your lesson, I'm going to make my first one tonight. Thanks again for taking the time.
Tip for Xbox players: On PC you can simply click 99 while crafting, while on Xbox you have to use manually increase the slider to 99. To expedite the time it takes to go from crafting 1 to 99, use the right analog stick combined with right on the D-Pad while continuously tapping right bumper. The left and right bumper can be used to increase/decrease a larger quantity of items to be bought/sold/crafted/exchanged happy farming! also Vash this is the most complete, simple and almost perfect tutorial I may have watched on anything ever. Thanks
As much as I wish there was a faster option for controller players like the macro, I still very much appreciate you saying this. I was completely prepared to abandon this whole farm when I saw how much time it took to get 100xp after getting it running.
For those who can't find it once landing on Xbox. To remove your landing spot, make 3-5 landing spots in a different area and it'll remove that landing spot. Next, before you go to the area located in the video, save the game. Now that you've saved the game, find the 3 biomes close to each other, click to find the right spot and make sure you're in the mountains. If you've done it correctly, you should see the black mountain close by. Hope this helps!
My God I wish I would have found this video 17 Starfield hours ago. Most other tuts would have you crafting an extremely convoluted network of structures that require an exorbitant amount of skills/levels/credits beforehand. Looks like you were able to get the ball rolling with literally 950 credits and nothing else. Bravo! Going to try this as soon as I get home! **EDIT: After searching for this sweet spot for hours, I read up and learned that the terrains are RNG so the odds of getting what this vid got is pretty slim. However, it's still an excellent beginner's tutorial on how outposts work and how to fully utilize them.
This was the most straightforward, easy to follow, video regarding outposts and mining. And on top of that, awesome place to build and other great tips. No fluff or filler either. Subbed!
Just tried this tonight. Possible that it can no longer be replicated. Found THE precise spot on the map, chose the Mountain landing of the three, and loaded/reloaded/re-reloaded, etc. and kept getting some fairly flat land with just iron and water. I was at this for about 3 hours. Nothing. Not sure if the game updates made this obsolete, or if there's somehow something about the planet's tilt (the orientation of the planet on mine was slightly more clockwise, and I didn't know how to alter this at all), but I did have it one pixel in any direction changing biome among desert, hills, and mountain. No luck. Hope this isn't broken now, because this looks like a damn good way to start.
it still works. I just finished the set up 10 minutes ago. The perfect area for me was about 700m away from the landing spot. Right on the side of the blacktop mountain where the biome changes to rocky desert.
@bran1dong I had to use a dift video showing a geographical marker (near the edge of a ridge) to find the right spot, but I did. Been spamming the frames and cubes for dozens of levels and hundreds of thousands of credits since.
Thank you for this awesome video. You're a born teacher you nailed it. That is some god tier gameplay, really deep understanding of game mechanics combined with the ability to explain complex concepts in a a very precise and scientific manner and I feel your enthusiasm at the same time. Extremely valuable content. Exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Cheers, Vash
Great video...subbed. Immediately after watching, I found the exact site on my first try. Instructions are foolproof. Important point, while you are looking for that spot where a pixel this way or that way changes from mountains, rocky desert, and hills.....land on the mountain pixel.
Made it to location, thanks mate! Had to do a bit of jogging because I landed bit too into the hills. Make sure to HArd Save in space so you can reload to get it right (without having so many 'Landing Markers'. And you Quick Save before putting outpost down just in case you wanted to move it around a couple meters for better nodes.
The only thing I would add/change is to go to The Den in the Wolf system instead of Akila City. The Wolf Den has a Trade Authority vendor that has 11k credits, so you don't have to wait as often. If you're doing this between missions, the Wolf system is also one of like 2 or 3 places that doesn't scan you for contraband when you arrive in orbit, so you can sell your outpost stuff, as well as sell contraband that you find on missions. More money is always nice, lol.
Ive Seen like 30 posts and videos about XP or money farms. Not a SINGLE one explained things the way it is explained here. This is truly the one and only outpost Video you need to see. Didn’t think I’d find it for this game, but here you are! Thank you.
For me the hardest part was finding the landing zone. The way I interpreted the instructions, I was looking for a spot on the planet map where the biome would change without moving the cursor. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that this wasn't possible and i had to move the cursor just a little bit to see if the biomes are in proximity. Then make sure to choose Mountains.
For those struggling to find it: go to the area that he shows in the vid, then turn off resource view and look for a tiny little mountain range that looks like an upside down y, and where the two lines become one is roughly where you'll want to land.
Thanks for this. I struggled to get all 4 key resources when planting my beacon, after a bit I found an arrangement that had 3 out of 4 key resources and ended up just setting up a second outpost and linking the resources together from a 2nd area of the planet. Little more expensive to get started with iron, but that can be bought or found easily in asteroids. Plan to wall off everything next, from your other video example. Thanks again!
I guess if one ever finds the four in one spot after doing this, one could remove the outpost or outposts and place it again. But if one is really going to make a big thing over outpost totals, one could always get the skill to have more as well. (And considering what Venus offers, not a bad idea.)
@@asdfghjklkjhgfdsa69 Going to ask a dumb question, but do you have landing pads on *all* outposts you wish to link? If no, you need to build those to link them and transfer resources going in/out
I have tried all of those supposedly super good planets for resources over and over and over again to the point of frustration. Then found your video second time out. Found everything I needed and rocking and rolling. We're all good to go. Thanks a lot man
Tough to find this location but definitely worth the effort, I would suggest that you bring 7 sealant and 8 lead to build a round hab and outpost airlock. I kept getting lung damage from the gas in the area.
I loved your Remnant 2 videos and now I’m loving your Starfield videos too! Thanks again for providing quality content you just can’t find anywhere else!
Thank you for such an informative, well structured, no bullshit, no bragging...okay, maybe a tiny bit of bragging video. I haven't explored base building too much. Just when i had a quest from Trident shipyard for 500 Chlorine and I was exploring outside New Atlantis and literally on the other side of the city wall there is Chlorine in the ground ...but you cannot build until you go some distance from the city wall. That was my only base and I stuck Heller there because he was on my ship and annoying the piss out of me.
That kind of works perfectly for this outpost for anyone who is low on storage on their ship. I do wonder if that will be affected by the procedural generation for everyone though?
SAVE THE GAME BEFORE YOU LAND ON THE PLANET. As of Dec 29 2023, can confirm. The landing placement is crucial. Pay very close attention to where his cursor is on the map and copy that exactly. The black mountain will be about 200 meters to the front left of your ship. This video actually proves 2 things. First, everyone has the same landing sites, and the planets are not randomly generated like previously thought. Although, a single pixel off may change the outcome. Again, save the game before you make a landing point on the planet. If you dont find the mountain within about 1 minute, reload and re land in a different spot. Took me two tries to find it.
Took about 8 tries over two nights of gaming but finally found it. Was definitely worth the effort. Thank you for the superb video. I was feeling really lost in what to do in the game, was constantly over encumbered and was struggling to keep going. This tutorial took care of that for me! I learned so much. Thanks bro.
Have not played Starfield in a few months. Saw the rover update and figured I would test it out. I love that content like this is out there. I have had this video open on my iPad, while playing the game so many times since it was created. Thank you for your videos and the added humor. I still laugh at so many things, even though I've heard them dozens of times.
You could also hop around the planet you are setting this up on until you see the Civilian Outpost icon. Go to it and get it marked on your map and then fly there and sell with the same bonus. Just need to get lucky where the vendor has the bar and then you can sit at the bar and sell. Also, don't forget, that as long as you are 250 m away from your ship, you can access your Ship > Cargo Hold > Inventory and move loot into your cargo hold as well.
1)When look at the surface map make sure to check that the same spot when you click on it multiple times has Rocky desert, hills, mountains alterning. (It's moving like one pixel each time you click) 2) when you land you should be able to spot the black mountain right away around your ship (was behind for me). You see that there is desert downhil, dark aluminium crystals very close to the mountain and red hills around it on one side. 3) if you don't see the mountain and 3 types of terrains right away, do the landing again until you do. There is no point running around without it.
After an hour of looking for the right spot, the best I could find at the biome intersection was Iron, Cobalt, Platinum, Nickel, and Water. Instead of spending hours looking for the right spot, I think my time is better spent just building a linked outpost for aluminum.
This has been my go-to guide with every play through. I took a break from the game for a while, but with Shattered Space, I started a new play through, and immediately created this outpost. I can find this location 100% of the time and use it religiously. The only thing I could not do is wait for vendors to refresh creds. So I cheat and give my vendor of choice a ton of credits and then sell all my frames and magnets to him. I really wish I could like this video a few hundred times!!! Thank you Vash!
Definitely having problems finding the exact spot to land. I'm using the landmarks from the scan from your video, 1:49 mark. just to the right of the 3 blue marks and slightly north of the brown tiny mark. This is with map zoomed in max. I know I'm very close as I find from time to time, the Sulphur bath formations, but can't find any black mountain. Thinking this is most likely a night or day thing but still can't find the spot to land or break camp. Best I can find is 4 elements not the 5th.
The sulphuric bath formations are randomly generated. The mountain backdrop is not. Just search the area around the base of that black mountain, and you will nail it.
Bro, thankyou so much. This is by far the best outpost video I've ever seen. I just got the game a week ago, and as a father of 4, I have very limited time to play. Took my 30 minutes to get it operational, and withing 10 minutes I went from level 5 to level 12. You rock.
Found the spot as of 28 Sept. This is what I did 1) Put clear tape on the screen I'm playing on and used youtube Fullscreen on the same monitor. 2) Mark the 3 dots on the top left of his landing point. 3) Roughly where his point is look for mountains, Then slight left should be the desert variant, go back to mountains, then slightly down should be the hills. Go back up slightly to mountains and select it. (turn your mouse or controller sensitivity down for this) 4) When you land you should have a satellite dish behind you, and a structure in front of you, that's to the left of the black top hill. 5) The black top hill in front of you is the hill he is talking about 6) Go to the right of the base of the hill and you should find the 5 resources. 7) Watch the rest of the video.
Took me some tries but what helped me was to screenshot his location from 1:42 and then move the right joystick very slowly to the left (on Xbox) till I found Mountain, then Hill, then Rocky Desert. Land on mountain and look around to see where the biomes meet. An improvement to the process to get a lot more credits - create Isocentered Magnets instead of Adaptive Frames. For 12.5% more mass you get 66% more credits (5 credits each vs 3)! You get all the resources you need for Isocentered Magnets at this location.
Just wanted to say thank you for this guide. A lot of the other guides were either too daunting, just plain annoying or unachievable without stacks of skills but this was exactly to the point. I managed to get from level 53 to 100 and get the final achievement to be finally done with this game. If I’m being honest I went from absolute addiction to starfield to finding it quite frustrating to play at times. its still a wonderful game but I’m glad to finally move on to something else for awhile.

I MADE A TIKTOK TO STOP THIEVES- www.tiktok.com/@thevashcowaii
FOR THOSE STRUGGLING TO FIND THE SPOT: Like I said in the video, you gotta look and find where the zones meet BEFORE landing. I'm talking pixels of difference, It's a matter of precision, not luck, people are able to find this and it's not just me. Sometimes the area will generate with very slight differences, so look around after you land and just go for biome intersection before complaining you can't find it. If it helps, save before making a landing point so you don't have to deal with a landing area on the map if you don't find it on the first try. People reporting they're finding "all but one" material are usually later editing their own comments to say they were on the wrong side of the mountain. Gotta wander around my guys, but the most important part is finding the biome intersection.
MACRO - GENERAL IDEA:
-E press
-50ms wait
-E release
-50ms wait
-left click down
-50ms wait
-left click release
-50ms wait
-E press
-50ms wait
-E release
Settings:
-Trigger: Toggle
-Repeat: Constantly
-Repeat Delay: 200ms
You can factor in mouse positioning if you would like, but otherwise the idea is that you leave your mouse in a position to click the amount up to 99, and E selects the recipe and finishes the batch craft before the 200ms delay kicks in before the next cycle starts.
So Vash, how are you liking the game so far?
Out of interest what is the other planet with this combination of resources?
Yeah I'm on Xbox and have spent the last 3 hrs trying to find the exact spot I fcking suck ain't happening I guess lol
@@odinson1497I agree. Wasted 2.5 hrs of my life looking on Xbox.
@@kalanischumann3758 Me too, I guess we can still setup separate outposts on the same planet, the UT time hack will still work, we will just have to Juggle our resources from the 2 locations.
Please for the love of God continue to do explainers like this for Starfield. Extremely informative and actually hilarious. Love the content bro!
For fucking real ! I feel like I suck at starfield so bad tht I really need someone like this guy to explain tht shit like this to me
Even if you don't end up using this exact spot, this is an amazing tutorial on how the Outposts function without exposing much else of the game. Thank you and well done.
the spot he showed is there. It took me about 10 minutes and 2 tries before I found the same spot. And I’m on Xbox series X
or without spending 15 minutes giving a break down of each crafting bench. this video was very well done
@@smoovejl Confirmed, found it the moment I set down planet side and got it running in less than 10 mins.
@@BigKahuna0275wish I could. It's been around an hr. I'm giving up on it
@@smoovejlI found it first try, on pc.
Easily the best possible starter farm. One improvement tho to the selling method, Akila City has a Trade Authority (behind the bar on the right side after entrering the city) that also has a chair inside it literally similiar as on the video, but with the difference that it has 11000 credits instead of 5000. That way selling stuff becomes over 2x faster.
Selling stuff isn't that useful, mainly because it weighs so much you're not going to be able to make 10 steps without going into the red on stamina. That makes traveling to your ship take forever, for a very small amount of money. You also don't need much money in this game. I ended my first playthrough with over 1.5 million credits leftover, and I did all the side quests, literally all of them. Personally I like to sell stuff at The Den, because it has two trade authority access points, both a panel and a person, and they total 16000 credits available at them, with an easy seat nearby, and doesn't require much walking.
After you get a little further in the story campaign there's a way to not lose your O2 for a period of time 😎
@@peoplez129 I have over 3 million credits and a bounty over 20 million. I just got my first power yesterday. Lol, I really should start doing the main quest.
No one needs all that money. It's about wanting it. Lol, Pirate life, baby!

@@peoplez129 Over encumbrance doesn't matter at all, you can't walk yourself to death. You just get to a sliver of HP and then don't die. So you can just walk around with 90,000 KG of crap no problem
WARNING! Please save before landing on the planet. Make sure to choose the Mountains biome from the star map before landing. Despite Vash's insistence that the location is pixel perfect on the map, the landing spot doesn't have to be that incredible precise. As long as you choose to land in the Mountains region close to that area on the map as seen in the video, the game actually pulls a random map seed out of a predetermined list for you to explore. After landing, look for the black peek next to the coral beds as seen in the video and if you don't find the correct materials after some searching, then reload from your previous save and try again. All you're doing is trying to re-roll the same map seed as Vash shows in his video. It took me several tries to get the same exact spot. The problem I had was that I landed in that spot with the wrong map seed and I think it saves that seed once you land there. I couldn't figure out a way to remove the map seed so I had to load from an early save before entering the system.
This was the most helpful guidance!
thanks
What if I didn't save 😢
@@PhillipH-sanauto?
I wonder if the planet loads this when you first enter orbit because every time I land I get the same crap area with no peaks or corals. When I finally find the aluminum and corals, there’s no peaks. Closest I can get is getting 4 out of the 5
I appreciate the "no bs" approach. You give it cut and dry while not skipping tiny details. Love the vids
Amen to that Brother!!
For those who are having trouble finding it, like me, you need to land in the mountain part once you find your cross section. I kept landing in the rocky desert and mine looked nothing like the video and didn't have the biome split. The moment I landed a pixel over in the Mountain biome, the black peak was right in front of me and I could get all 5 resources.
I found the location but there was sume in game facilities in the way of the aluminium deposit 😢, anyone else have this problem?
Spent hours can not find this at all
Found one with all five but platinum instead of aluminum 😂
I have a big facility near this spot maybe that’s why I can’t find it
It doesn't have to be at this exact location. It's a pain but if you find another intersection of the 3 biomes you can find all the resources there as well.
This is a GREAT starter outpost. I only have recommendation: Instead of selling your stuff to the Shepheard shop, I actually HIGHLY recommend going to he trade authority (still in Akilah city, behind Galbank). It has a chair right next to the NPC (like the Shepheard shop), but it has 11000 credits instead of 5000.
Tips for finding this spot:
1) SAVE your game from the ship orbiting the planet. This is where you will restart many many times if you miss the landing spot.
a) If you didn't save and you get the wrong spot, you will now have a "Landing Spot" obscuring that entire area on the planet map. To remove that spot, you have to land FIVE times in other spots on the planet. On the fifth time, your first LZ should disappear and you can retry. SAVE this time! (I did this method lol)
2) You want PIXEL difference in biomes. Try to find the general location using the planet map at 1:48, then click once. Your selected landing spot should say desert/hill/mountain. Now click again to remove it. Now find a spot where moving one PIXEL changes biome. What worked for me: One PIXEL down, Hills. One PIXEL up, Mountain. One PIXEL left, Desert. I found Mountain again and finally clicked X to land.
3) You are picking this precise spot for the sole reason of finding the mountain in 2:07. If you get out and can't find the mountain, LEAVE / RELOAD.
a) Keep in mind you could possibly land on the other side of the mountain! You don't have to land in the exact location in 2:07, just find that mountain. It's fairly easy to identify if you hit the general area.
4) Then start looking for the spot at 2:35. His jumpcut between 2:31 and 2:35 is disappointing because I had no idea where exactly he was! From the landing point at 2:07, his spot is to the right on the base of the mountain, down in the area that looks like water (but it's not). However, the important point is to go around the base of the mountain and try to find a spot where you get a bunch of minerals. You can try his area but he implies it could be anywhere around that mountain base.
5) If you don't get the minerals you want (example: platinum, but no aluminum) try reloading! Now that you know where it is, it's just a matter of forcing the game to procedurally generate that area again.
6) I don't think a surface map screenshot would help anyone find this because I believe the various areas of interest are procedurally generated too. For example, from my outpost, I have an unknown to the SE and one to the NW. Others have reported different landmarks.
Great tips, thank you!
Thank you, I was losing my freaking mind. As for the outpost placement, like others said look for the very black dirt near the base of the mountain. It'll have all the required elements, it will take some walking around in what feels like circles. Look for the big mushroom calcium deposit looking things.
Yeah this was me. I found 5, but Platinum instead of Iron... tried to reload. lost save.. NOW.. I am trying to find it again. Thank you though.. this has been a great help.
@@EbonPriest I found the same but then found the right spot walking around the mountain.
@@cae1136 really? I just spent little over 6 hrs trying to find it and all I can find is platinum instead of the iron
Fantastic guide, most outpost xp farms usually look stressing and arduous more than anything but this one was easy and only took 30 min to set up. I did calculations for controller players, and once set up, the process to sleep/craft/reset takes about 3 mins for 7500xp (10hr sleep/16 storage crates per resource/4 extractors each). The location was the most annoying part to find but once i did the rest went well. Much thx
For those of you who can't find the spot, where he lands he's on one side of the mountain, but the spot with the five resources is exactly on the other side (more on the Mesa area). So walk around the mountain for a bit. I found it in ~ 10 minutes.
Great guide, Vash!
1) Thank you for this, it is awesome!
2) If anyone is still struggling with finding the spot: Go to 1:45 of the video and pause. Just to the left of the landing zone, you'll see 3 little dark dots. I lined my landing diamond up such that the spot closest to us was centered with the upper left portion of the diamond. Like the dots make an arrow pointing to where you want to land (slightly lower than where Vash Cowaii has theirs at this point in the video). Find the biomes, be sure the mountain is selected, land. Look left, that's the mountain. You want to be on the right-hand slope of that mountain (where you see the most colors).
WARNING: Some folks recreating this vid are putting it in the wrong area. - There is another 5 resource spot nearby, but it has Platinum, not Aluminum. No Aluminum means you can't trigger the rest.
3) Build turrets! My second sleep cycle ended and a squad of pirates came storming in and attacked wind turbines. The did a lot of damage before I was able to take them all out.
@Vash Cowaii Thank you again!!!
thank you!
thank you my friend. i spent 2 hours trying to find the right spot and your help got me finding it in 10 mins
you my friend, Are a legend
finally some good fucking food
Anyone know if this is still there on the Xbox version? I been searching for hours and used all the above walkthrough. Can anyone shed any light?
Dude, this was such a help. Make more Starfield content. I beg you.
As for everyone saying this doesn’t work on the Xbox, they are incorrect. I decided to check this on my Xbox, & although it was much more difficult to manipulate the cursor so finely as to only move a few pixels at a time, I did find the spot. One other caveat is that the black peak mountain is not directly adjacent to the landing area. So just know this - if you land just barely inside the mountain line of the 3-biome zone, first make sure all 3 are present & then look for dark buttes in the distance. This was the only area I landed in within the 3-biome zone on the Xbox that had these buttes, which I recognized from the PC spot. The dark peak mountain on the Xbox was much further away from my ship than the PC version as well, like over/around an entire other mountain, so don’t be afraid to explore a bit if those buttes are present.
if anyone struggling finding the exact or similar spot like I did searching for 3 hours, just make sure you are looking after a BLACK ground, for some reason the intersections between Hill, Rocky Desert and Mountains is a very very black soil, if you actually lucky enough or wait enough for daytime, the black area will be much easier to find from far as well, very important if you landed in the wrong area but very close to correct one and want to fix the exact pixel of landing, you can remove you big landing mark on map by just put down one outpost beacon close to your ship before take off, go to it and hold R to delete that outpost , then fly away and your landing mark is no more. then try to find the correct landing spot once again until you find the spot.
i tried during daylight. 3.5 hours, and i gave up, kinda ticked off.
Can anyone confirm where this location is in relation to the abandoned research tower?
thanks for this
Ill give it another try
cant belive Im looking for pixels in 2023
Yeah still can't find it lol
@@stro3277 I was able to find a spot that had all the resources, but it took a LONG time and it was not exactly where the video portrayed it. It is worth finding though!
My god! Finding the right spot was more challenging then beating Mass effect on Nightmare Mode. This shit had me looking for 4 hours and some change. However I'm so fucking happy I could care less how long it took I'm loving it xD
That’s what she said
@@bent404 I'm dying right now 🤣
For people on PC struggling to find the spot, turn your mouse sensitivity all the way down. I set mine to 200dpi. The pixel you want will say mountains, but one pixel left says desert and one down says hills. Once I figured that out I could do it completely consistently.
For me personally I do this with 3 outposts instead of 1 so I can get more resources per resource type at once, with all 3 outposts almost overlapping with the final container for each material type being near each other at the edges.
This ended up being more helpful than the videos instructions. This helped me find the spot i just wasted 8 hours searching for. God youre amazing.
Put this comment on the top section, this trick is very helpful ! Thank you too. ;)
Pin this comment! Wasted an hour of my life then read this and found it instantly
Thank you so much 🥹🥹
I did land on 3 different spots, that has all 3 biomes within a pixel next to each other. No luck finding more than 3 minerals at once. Do people consider, that the planet generation has a random factor? It gets randomly generated everytime you leave the planet and land on it again. I landed on the exact same spot twice and one had plenty of iron, the next try had no iron at all...
My boss sent me this video. As apposed to other TH-cam guides, this actually was EASIER to do than it seemed like it would be. I started a whole new play through just so I wouldn’t waste that sweet sweet XP. Thanks for such a clear and well organized video!

@ArthurReload same here. Going to build one today!
I wasn't going to bother with outposts, but you sold me. following your tips now. thanks for the post
I must have a mental disability, because I saw this video a week ago, and could not for the life of me find the right spot. Searched my ass off for the right location, and then again for the right spot to put down an outpost that had all the right resources. I gave up. Then tonight, I find it first damned try. Thank you for this. If anyone needs me, I'll be toiling away making adaptive frames to supply the entire universe.
I just followed the steps and have an outpost up and running. It took a few tries (Xbox) but I finally saw the black peak you showed in the video. I actually landed on the other side of it and scrambled to the correct side.
At any rate... loved the great info, the calling out other creators that just regurgitate each other's content, and the no fluff presentation. Subbed and looking forward to more Starfield vids.
Having trouble finding the right spot on my Xbox any suggestions?
Same, can’t find it
Hard to find on Xbox
Same. Cant find this spot on xbox. I wish there was at least a surface map to refer to.
@christopherrisley6464 I zoomed in on the video to the spot he had right before landing then found pretty much the same spot from there on my TV. Then just fine tune from there until you can move the cursor just one tiny spot and get a different biome in three directions. Once you get that, land in the mountain one.
Wait... this is too simple. Thanks for this! Kind of a shame selling is such a PITA - to bad you can't have a crew member handle the selling chore(s) so you could do something else.
Best Starfield video in all of youtube. No useless conversation, no spoil, nothing but pure information with video support. And a nice tackle on people talking about stuff they clearly don't understand. Thank you !
Not really. You might get more resources but you will have less of those resources because there is a finite amount of space in each outpost. You don't see him putting down 10 extractors like you see in other vids because there isn't enough of the materials.
Not only that, but this appears to be mostly luck. It’s clearly not consistently repeatable based on the comments alone let alone the fact that I, and a different friend have both spent well in excess of four hours apiece looking for this location without the ability to find all for minerals.
You are both clearly missing the point, this is about information without all the bullshit around it. No 3 min long "please subscribe so my kids can eat", no "sponsor", no nothing. Pure informative video.
And about finding the exact location, this is a pixel perfect click you have to do, the same goes for all the times you try to find the demarcation between 2 biomes, like finding a coast.
This has to be the best explanation to outposts I’ve come across. You have the ability to explain a topic which may seem overwhelming to some, in a digestible manner. Kudos to you!
Thank god I waited on making outposts you've always got the holy grail of information.
What outposts... never needed one.. playing over a wekk 🙃🫠
@@twowaygreenman there's a massive difference between not needing one and being too dumb to not take advantage of the feature 😂

This is the first outpost video I’ve seen that’s worth watching. I didn’t even bother building an outpost on my first play through because all the other videos ive seen made it look like a pain
Well played, sir! I hate how content creators seem to not care about putting out the same old info that everyone else is already out there just to make another video.. This was original, fantastic advice, and very well executed, very nice!
I found this planet by accident following a quest. When I went to sleep before the mission, I was shocked that no one was talking about how awesome this planet is.
Took me 6-7 tries to get the right spot. Half the times I landed, there was no black mountain. Sometimes there was a black mountain, but Platinum instead of Aluminum, or the Iron vein didn't extend far enough to be reachable.
This is the first outpost video that made sense to me and laid things out in a very understandable way.
Same. I just built my first outpost because of this video.
This video is legit. It took me about 2 hours to find it because I dont listen correctly but I found it. Look for that big black mountain, thats the key
I just built my xp farm, trickiest part was finding the right spot where all 4 elements meet but you can just reload a save from orbit and try again, amazing method dude thanks
That's the method I should have used. Trying to click around a landing spot you have already been at does not work very well.
@@CyberKnightX21same here buddy. Having a rough time finding this spot. Found one that had every resources stated in video. Except iron was platinum
This is a great tutorial. I think what can be helpful is dump all the items on the floor of the ship, go to ship builder and modify one component and that will go to the cargo, even over capacity. Then you can move faster and sell.
that's genius!
thank you, now i can sell my 82k crafted adaptive frames
Dude....after watching about 20 videos on how to do these outposts, and still struggling on how to make and utilize outpost properly, i came upon yours...simple...well explained...and no nonsence filler.
Thank you i am now making these outposts like a pro....please continue these "starfield videos for dummies", tremendously helpful...you definately earned a sub...
I've seen quite a few outpost guides from different people, and this is easily the most competent and well explained. Bonus points for the calm and soothing manner
XBOX TIP: use the right thumbstick (default controls) and use quick, small movements to slowly move the map around. It's a mountain terrain that is the most south and west you can go in the area in the video. It took me about 15 minutes and two tries, and then once I realized the right joystick moved things around a lot slower, it became a lot easier. Good luck and can confirm it works!
Found it! Yup. Gotta make sure the mountain spot is the lowest before hitting hills.
This was fantastic. Precise. I found the location with zero problems almost exactly where the video shows: Black peak on a part of the planet that looks like Australia with three intersecting biomes, foothills of the black peak is a sweet spot and it goes from there. Amazing vid my man!
Great guide. I had trouble finding the spot initially but realized that you need to click the mountain habitat at that spot. Clicking hills or desert won’t bring you to the right location
Just a heads up: rather than the general store in Akila, the Trade Authority vendor in New Atlantis (in the Well, which you can reach from the spaceport and going through the elevator near Jemison Mercantile) has a chair right next to her. She has 11000 credits and you only need to wait 24 hours (since Jemison has roughly 2:1 local time to UT conversion) which makes it WAY faster to sell your huge quantities of crafted loot.
Akila's TA has the same, though of course time is different there. But I would definitely go with a Trade Authority over a store. Or run around and sell to all of them, then wait.
Akila's TA makes you wait for 2 cycles of 24 hours. The Well's TA only makes you wait for 1 cycle of 24 hours.
@@starfieldexplorer001 True, for me, 2 is fine though. I'm not trying to race through the game, and I have a house in Akila with crafting materials and a workbench. Plus there's the two chests you can get from vendors.
@@cermus I hear you bro. I love this game. I'll be playing it for years so going the slow and steady route is definitely wise.
I wish they had lines of latitude and longitude. Would make finding this so much easier
put mouse sensitivity very low and youll find it eventually, i just found it on my first attempt.
I'm using the Xbox Series S. running around the moon forever now. Can't find that mountain area.
@@adny02 same
I am so fucking frustrated. I have spent the last 2 hours making landing spots and wandering around trying to find this area. I really wish OP hadn’t cut the part that showed exactly where the ship is in relation to this area. I cannot find the place that has all 4 resources. The closest i have found is nickel, cobalt, and aluminum,
I dont mean to sound ungrateful. This is a fantastic video with a ton of extremely valuable info. Im just frustrated that I’m not finding the right area.
I wasn't planning on getting into base building for a while, but you just piqued my interest, and now I'll be doing it tonight. Thanks!
Holy crap that took me hours. My best advice is to just keep trying to land until you notice you land into the biome split then search around the peak if you see it. I feel like if the video showed him landing and looking around it would make it more clear but great instructions on the rest thank you sm
Time stamps for specifics to get started: 1:17 - resources, 1:28 - system, 1:55 - planet landing spot, 2:36 - resources to setup on.
Thank you.
cheers. Tired of 4hour videos on just to say 1 thing.
mvp right here
Thanks!
Thank you for this guide, it took about 30 minutes, but I was able to find it. Recommended doing a quicksave before you land until they patch the ability to remove a landing site.
Facts!😊
It's already been proven that the landing sites tile each other. But, loading more than one tile crashes the game. Hopefully they just get rid of the barriers between zones so that the planets become fully traversable.
Can confirm it is possible Xbox peeps. Tried for 3 hours last night & went to bed annoyed. Got it first try in under 10 minutes today. Focus more on choosing a landing location showing the 3 biomes than running around.
If I stand at my beacon, there is an unknown structure 634M NE of my location, & another unknown structure 784M almost due W if it helps. Sorry I haven’t explored more to know their actual names. Keep your heads up!
Same, found on xbox after about 6 landings and 3 hours :(
also right among those small plateau formations that you can jump on.
I was able to find it. I’m playing on Xbox as well
It's tricky to find that one sweet spot on the planet where the biomes intersect and then a real royal pain to actually find that little patch of land on the surface, but once you do, boy is it indeed worth it. Really appreciate this video - this location is indeed a massive resource generator and money-maker.
No hyperbole - This has been the single-most beneficial video for my adventures in Starfield. Thank you!
It took me about an hour of searching landing zones on Xbox, but I found it. My zone ended up basically exactly where yours was in the video. Use the blobs to the south and west of your cursor for general placement, then really fine tune it to where if you move as little as possible and set a zone, you see the other biomes.
guess its a hit or miss thing with everyone im seeing, some people find it and some dont, i wish there was more info regarding where exactly like any civilian buildings or which compass direction, etc
@@Worthiestnobodysame, I’ve tried about 10 times so far, no luck
@@bobby288m frankly ive given up and settled on multiple other planets, CK will fix everything when it arrives sometime next year
Can you remove landing sites from planets?
i actually just tried, you can either by landing else where from in the planet or if theres one that you cant seem to get rid of i just set down an outpost beacon and removed it so it was gone when i landed else where
@@whitey4841
This deserves more attention, I didn't even want to look at base building until i found this. Nice work.
Yeah, I was going to ignore outposts, but this is such a simple XP farm even if you just drop the stuff on the ground, it's great for opening up the next tier of challenge before you go off and do the next chain of missions. If i'm gonna go kill mooks, it's nice to actually get credit towards my (ballistic/rifle/shotgun/boost pack/whatever).
This is the kind of content I love.
No minutes of pointless and unnecessary preamble, no useless information that we'll never need, just a straightforward, no-nonsense guide for someone like me coming back to the game to start a new character and not wanting to go through the grind of farming aliens.
This is the best starting planet and outpost I've seen. It shits all over Andraphon and whatever other planets people mention. And it's ludicrously easy to set up.
That deserves a sub in its own right.
BTW, I'm not sure if it's a mod I'm using, or something Bethesda added, but I can craft 999 items instead of 99 items and it levels up much faster.
I found it on my third attempt, remember to land on the mountains biome, if you do it you’ll land in the exact same place. If the entrance to your ship is in the front part just walk a bit to the right. If you land on any other biome it won’t work, just quicksave before choosing where to land.
Thank you for that, I spent quite a bit of time looking for an intersection of all 3 biomes with no luck. Saw your comment, made sure I landed on the mountain biome right next to the other two, and found a suitable spot within a few minutes.
Why quick save? Can you not remove landing sites?
@@zombiefreak7718 Nope, though sometimes a workaround works. Saving and loading is easier.
I found it and i think this helped. Not sure i am going to be building any more outposts after this one though. I've been getting along just fine without them and its too much of a pain to find the perfect pixel to build on.
Also its freezing rain in my game. My character has frostbite from it, and i like how i can just snooze on a bed in freezing rain while i gather materials lol.
@@zombiefreak7718 You can, but you have to create new landing sites on the moon. The game keeps the last 4 landing sites marked on your map. So to remove the first, you'd need to create 4 more.
I was able to get it after reloading my save maybe 5 times. I am playing on Xbox. When finding your landing zone: there are dark 3 dots on the scanned view of the planet to the upper left of the "Australia" looking iron deposit. If you make a line straight up from the 2 orange nickel deposits and line up your landing icon so the bottom dot is slightly left and above the left corner of the icon, that will be the area. Make sure that you are in the mountain region, but the hills and rocky desert are only a pixel or two away zoomed all the way in.
I kept getting platinum instead of either iron or aluminum, but on my fifth or sixth save reload I found it no problem. With a little patience you should have no problems. Happy exploring everyone!
One thing to note; you can transfer stuff to your ship, if you're within 250m of it, by opening the ship menu and then going into cargo.
You can do that as long as you are within 500 meters actually, Quite useful if you made a cargo ship as your second ship
As long as you are not out of your ships cargo limit. The point he made here is you go into the ship and just drop it then you can fast travel with as much stuff as you want with very little actual cargo space:)
I got the exact same spot...unbelievable and awesome tutty. Love the step by step without the long winded explainations..do by following...exactly what I was looking for...IGN lead me to you.
Xbox Series X
Found this exact location, by using the Comments and the Video for reference. 2:07 that Black Mountain, is key to finding it. If you land and see that exact Mountain, youre very close to it
If you have multiple Landing Site Markers on the map, land at each of them and drop an Outpost. Remove Outpost, get back in your ship. Take off and then look at the Map. The Marker will be gone.
Hope this helps.
For those who like me struggle to find the exact spot on the planet: with plenty of landing attemps finding spots that only resembles the one show in the video without the resource combination we are looking for, I found later that there are multiple locations with the 3 biomes intersecated in a matter of pixel distance. I finally find the right one (that is equal of the one show in the video) when I look for the landing point on the position shown in the planet map in the video, and when I try to landing, I had rocky desert in the top left of the immaginary triangle biomes intersection, the right says mountains and the bottom says hills, as other comments explain. Only if you found the three biomes intersecated in this order you'll find the right spot. Once landed in the mountain section, the black peak is 150m away in front of you.
I followed this formula and got it first try. Don't attempt to get it in the exact same spot as homeboy does in the video. Just try to find that fine line where all 3 biomes converge. I landed in the Hills area.
Thank you this helped alot
I tried landing in 5 different spots around the appointed area and still only found 4 resources. So after 45 min of running around like an idiot I took my frustrations out on nearby pirate locations. Lol. I'll try again with this new information.
@@evilinside75same, can't find the Spot it is frustrating
I tried searching for another 2 hours last night and I can find spots with 5 resources but none of them have Aluminum as one...its always platinum.@@warriorhound7000
Following the video, I made this outpost exactly as described.
It's been the best. I stopped questing at level 17. I'm now at level 76 and I've started questing again.
Money is no longer an issue too. I'm at about 1mill credits with some beefy ships too.
I used a mod to give vendors more money which saved me waiting hours and hours in real life for the vendors to reset.
Leveling is getting a bit slow because I'm running out of resources now. Still using the basic storage containers.
I need to upgrade those so I can craft more.
Thanks so much for this video. It's helped a ton.
I'm yet to do ng+ so I might build your end game outpost in one of my other play throughs 😊
Just got the game last night and have been searching for non sugar coated guides and this guide is indeed not sugar coated, thank you committed gamer that I can trust.
Thanks so much. Simple and efficient. I'm level 27 and haven't put much into outpost building because there seemed to be so many better uses of my time. This is a no brainier though. Subbed.
Thanks for the great video!! I was worried about trying to build an outpost. Thanks to your lesson, I'm going to make my first one tonight. Thanks again for taking the time.
Tip for Xbox players:
On PC you can simply click 99 while crafting, while on Xbox you have to use manually increase the slider to 99.
To expedite the time it takes to go from crafting 1 to 99, use the right analog stick combined with right on the D-Pad while continuously tapping right bumper.
The left and right bumper can be used to increase/decrease a larger quantity of items to be bought/sold/crafted/exchanged
happy farming!
also Vash this is the most complete, simple and almost perfect tutorial I may have watched on anything ever. Thanks
As much as I wish there was a faster option for controller players like the macro, I still very much appreciate you saying this. I was completely prepared to abandon this whole farm when I saw how much time it took to get 100xp after getting it running.
Late to the party as usual, however did find this spot and got it working ! Thanks for this, you da man !!
For those who can't find it once landing on Xbox. To remove your landing spot, make 3-5 landing spots in a different area and it'll remove that landing spot. Next, before you go to the area located in the video, save the game. Now that you've saved the game, find the 3 biomes close to each other, click to find the right spot and make sure you're in the mountains. If you've done it correctly, you should see the black mountain close by. Hope this helps!
Do the other landing spots have to be on the same planet to make the first one go away?
@@DarkElfDiva Yes
My landing spot simply won’t go away
This was extremely helpful. Thanks. Don't think I can get down to the pixel on xbox 😂
Are there any landmarks close? Collapsed cave, facilities, anything like that or are those randomly generated?
My God I wish I would have found this video 17 Starfield hours ago. Most other tuts would have you crafting an extremely convoluted network of structures that require an exorbitant amount of skills/levels/credits beforehand. Looks like you were able to get the ball rolling with literally 950 credits and nothing else. Bravo! Going to try this as soon as I get home! **EDIT: After searching for this sweet spot for hours, I read up and learned that the terrains are RNG so the odds of getting what this vid got is pretty slim. However, it's still an excellent beginner's tutorial on how outposts work and how to fully utilize them.
This was the most straightforward, easy to follow, video regarding outposts and mining. And on top of that, awesome place to build and other great tips. No fluff or filler either. Subbed!
Dude - I love your evil genius approach. Competent and confident - Subscribing
Just tried this tonight. Possible that it can no longer be replicated. Found THE precise spot on the map, chose the Mountain landing of the three, and loaded/reloaded/re-reloaded, etc. and kept getting some fairly flat land with just iron and water. I was at this for about 3 hours. Nothing. Not sure if the game updates made this obsolete, or if there's somehow something about the planet's tilt (the orientation of the planet on mine was slightly more clockwise, and I didn't know how to alter this at all), but I did have it one pixel in any direction changing biome among desert, hills, and mountain. No luck. Hope this isn't broken now, because this looks like a damn good way to start.
it still works. I just finished the set up 10 minutes ago. The perfect area for me was about 700m away from the landing spot. Right on the side of the blacktop mountain where the biome changes to rocky desert.
@bran1dong I had to use a dift video showing a geographical marker (near the edge of a ridge) to find the right spot, but I did. Been spamming the frames and cubes for dozens of levels and hundreds of thousands of credits since.
This is awesome & I even found Platinum with Water, Nickel Iron & Cobalt. Thank you so much for this video. Liked & followed 😊
I couldn't find iron but got one with water, aluminum, nickel, cobalt and Platinum
Thank you for this awesome video. You're a born teacher you nailed it.
That is some god tier gameplay, really deep understanding of game mechanics combined with the ability to explain complex concepts in a a very precise and scientific manner and I feel your enthusiasm at the same time.
Extremely valuable content. Exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Cheers, Vash
Great video...subbed. Immediately after watching, I found the exact site on my first try. Instructions are foolproof. Important point, while you are looking for that spot where a pixel this way or that way changes from mountains, rocky desert, and hills.....land on the mountain pixel.
Made it to location, thanks mate! Had to do a bit of jogging because I landed bit too into the hills.
Make sure to HArd Save in space so you can reload to get it right (without having so many 'Landing Markers'.
And you Quick Save before putting outpost down just in case you wanted to move it around a couple meters for better nodes.
Wish I would have read this first earlier. Solid tip
The only thing I would add/change is to go to The Den in the Wolf system instead of Akila City. The Wolf Den has a Trade Authority vendor that has 11k credits, so you don't have to wait as often. If you're doing this between missions, the Wolf system is also one of like 2 or 3 places that doesn't scan you for contraband when you arrive in orbit, so you can sell your outpost stuff, as well as sell contraband that you find on missions. More money is always nice, lol.
There's also a trade authority kiosk there which I didn't realize until yesterday (I have almost 4 days worth game play time lol)
I'd rather just go to the Key and sell my Contraband
Yeah I like the den too, No scan, Interior so i don't lag with my potato pc and chairs, lots and lots and lots of chairs. Solid locale.
@@The1stGanjakage Yeah, but not everybody wants to do the Crimson Fleet side quest. Lol. The Den is somewhere you can go to no matter what.
@@CelestialHart Exactly. It's awesome.
Worked for me! I'm at level 21 and building the first outpost, I was putting it off because I was overwhelmed with too many options
I'm level 17 and 112 hours in and haven't even placed the module down for a base.
That and it's a steep climb to figure oupost building out.
Same here! I did the trick until I got to level 25 then I used all the money to get my ship to a B class
Ive Seen like 30 posts and videos about XP or money farms. Not a SINGLE one explained things the way it is explained here. This is truly the one and only outpost Video you need to see. Didn’t think I’d find it for this game, but here you are! Thank you.
For me the hardest part was finding the landing zone. The way I interpreted the instructions, I was looking for a spot on the planet map where the biome would change without moving the cursor. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that this wasn't possible and i had to move the cursor just a little bit to see if the biomes are in proximity. Then make sure to choose Mountains.
For those struggling to find it: go to the area that he shows in the vid, then turn off resource view and look for a tiny little mountain range that looks like an upside down y, and where the two lines become one is roughly where you'll want to land.
Where is the damn area i see no black peaks
@@jjwild8743 Same here!
It's not black to me. Maybe because I'm arriving in daylight. I found the exact spot as the vid@@jjwild8743
Thanks for this. I struggled to get all 4 key resources when planting my beacon, after a bit I found an arrangement that had 3 out of 4 key resources and ended up just setting up a second outpost and linking the resources together from a 2nd area of the planet. Little more expensive to get started with iron, but that can be bought or found easily in asteroids. Plan to wall off everything next, from your other video example. Thanks again!
I guess if one ever finds the four in one spot after doing this, one could remove the outpost or outposts and place it again. But if one is really going to make a big thing over outpost totals, one could always get the skill to have more as well. (And considering what Venus offers, not a bad idea.)
How do you link outposts? I've had to do the same with the two outposts close by and it would be far easier if I could link them
@@asdfghjklkjhgfdsa69 Going to ask a dumb question, but do you have landing pads on *all* outposts you wish to link?
If no, you need to build those to link them and transfer resources going in/out
@@asdfghjklkjhgfdsa69 This guy explains it quick and well:

I have tried all of those supposedly super good planets for resources over and over and over again to the point of frustration. Then found your video second time out. Found everything I needed and rocking and rolling. We're all good to go. Thanks a lot man
Tough to find this location but definitely worth the effort, I would suggest that you bring 7 sealant and 8 lead to build a round hab and outpost airlock. I kept getting lung damage from the gas in the area.
Good tip that 👌🏻
I loved your Remnant 2 videos and now I’m loving your Starfield videos too! Thanks again for providing quality content you just can’t find anywhere else!
Brilliant! Totally earned that follow. Guide is well done, understandable and super easy. Thanks man!
Thank you for such an informative, well structured, no bullshit, no bragging...okay, maybe a tiny bit of bragging video.
I haven't explored base building too much. Just when i had a quest from Trident shipyard for 500 Chlorine and I was exploring outside New Atlantis and literally on the other side of the city wall there is Chlorine in the ground ...but you cannot build until you go some distance from the city wall. That was my only base and I stuck Heller there because he was on my ship and annoying the piss out of me.
Just a heads up, across the valley is a class C cargo ship you can jack if you get past the door. its called the hulker.
That kind of works perfectly for this outpost for anyone who is low on storage on their ship. I do wonder if that will be affected by the procedural generation for everyone though?
SAVE THE GAME BEFORE YOU LAND ON THE PLANET. As of Dec 29 2023, can confirm. The landing placement is crucial. Pay very close attention to where his cursor is on the map and copy that exactly. The black mountain will be about 200 meters to the front left of your ship.
This video actually proves 2 things. First, everyone has the same landing sites, and the planets are not randomly generated like previously thought. Although, a single pixel off may change the outcome. Again, save the game before you make a landing point on the planet. If you dont find the mountain within about 1 minute, reload and re land in a different spot. Took me two tries to find it.
It proves THIS planet isn't randomly generated. For all we know Bethesda purposely designed this planet
Took about 8 tries over two nights of gaming but finally found it. Was definitely worth the effort.
Thank you for the superb video. I was feeling really lost in what to do in the game, was constantly over encumbered and was struggling to keep going. This tutorial took care of that for me! I learned so much. Thanks bro.
I am on my second night trying to find the damn fabled black mountain I am having no luck lol. I guess I'll try again tomorrow night.
Have not played Starfield in a few months. Saw the rover update and figured I would test it out. I love that content like this is out there. I have had this video open on my iPad, while playing the game so many times since it was created. Thank you for your videos and the added humor. I still laugh at so many things, even though I've heard them dozens of times.
You could also hop around the planet you are setting this up on until you see the Civilian Outpost icon. Go to it and get it marked on your map and then fly there and sell with the same bonus. Just need to get lucky where the vendor has the bar and then you can sit at the bar and sell. Also, don't forget, that as long as you are 250 m away from your ship, you can access your Ship > Cargo Hold > Inventory and move loot into your cargo hold as well.
Would have been helpful to quickly show the surface map so we could see the direction you arrived from and were looking in
yes, I keep wondering why his video doesn't have this
100%, would have made this so simple.
1)When look at the surface map make sure to check that the same spot when you click on it multiple times has Rocky desert, hills, mountains alterning. (It's moving like one pixel each time you click)
2) when you land you should be able to spot the black mountain right away around your ship (was behind for me). You see that there is desert downhil, dark aluminium crystals very close to the mountain and red hills around it on one side.
3) if you don't see the mountain and 3 types of terrains right away, do the landing again until you do. There is no point running around without it.
@@soonabaka I swear to god I can find the mountain, and spots with 5 resources, but it's platinum instead of Aluminum

Maybe this video will help:

After an hour of looking for the right spot, the best I could find at the biome intersection was Iron, Cobalt, Platinum, Nickel, and Water. Instead of spending hours looking for the right spot, I think my time is better spent just building a linked outpost for aluminum.
same
100% agree.
Same
Same
I do not believe that iron exists on this planet
This has been my go-to guide with every play through. I took a break from the game for a while, but with Shattered Space, I started a new play through, and immediately created this outpost. I can find this location 100% of the time and use it religiously. The only thing I could not do is wait for vendors to refresh creds. So I cheat and give my vendor of choice a ton of credits and then sell all my frames and magnets to him. I really wish I could like this video a few hundred times!!! Thank you Vash!
Definitely having problems finding the exact spot to land. I'm using the landmarks from the scan from your video, 1:49 mark. just to the right of the 3 blue marks and slightly north of the brown tiny mark. This is with map zoomed in max. I know I'm very close as I find from time to time, the Sulphur bath formations, but can't find any black mountain. Thinking this is most likely a night or day thing but still can't find the spot to land or break camp. Best I can find is 4 elements not the 5th.
The sulphuric bath formations are randomly generated. The mountain backdrop is not. Just search the area around the base of that black mountain, and you will nail it.
Why would you not show the location on the surface map?
Thank you for this! I was dreading getting in to outpost building but this just made things far less overwhelming!!
Bro, thankyou so much. This is by far the best outpost video I've ever seen. I just got the game a week ago, and as a father of 4, I have very limited time to play. Took my 30 minutes to get it operational, and withing 10 minutes I went from level 5 to level 12. You rock.
Found the spot as of 28 Sept. This is what I did
1) Put clear tape on the screen I'm playing on and used youtube Fullscreen on the same monitor.
2) Mark the 3 dots on the top left of his landing point.
3) Roughly where his point is look for mountains, Then slight left should be the desert variant, go back to mountains, then slightly down should be the hills. Go back up slightly to mountains and select it. (turn your mouse or controller sensitivity down for this)
4) When you land you should have a satellite dish behind you, and a structure in front of you, that's to the left of the black top hill.
5) The black top hill in front of you is the hill he is talking about
6) Go to the right of the base of the hill and you should find the 5 resources.
7) Watch the rest of the video.
Good explanation. Key is to have the black mountains visible when landing. First few landing spots there were no black mountains.
Took me some tries but what helped me was to screenshot his location from 1:42 and then move the right joystick very slowly to the left (on Xbox) till I found Mountain, then Hill, then Rocky Desert. Land on mountain and look around to see where the biomes meet.
An improvement to the process to get a lot more credits - create Isocentered Magnets instead of Adaptive Frames. For 12.5% more mass you get 66% more credits (5 credits each vs 3)! You get all the resources you need for Isocentered Magnets at this location.
Yes! Hot tip for Xbox. Use right joystick for small planet micro movements.
Another hot tip for Xbox, you can zoom in and out using the trigger buttons. Maybe I’m silly for not knowing that. 😂
Just wanted to say thank you for this guide. A lot of the other guides were either too daunting, just plain annoying or unachievable without stacks of skills but this was exactly to the point.
I managed to get from level 53 to 100 and get the final achievement to be finally done with this game. If I’m being honest I went from absolute addiction to starfield to finding it quite frustrating to play at times. its still a wonderful game but I’m glad to finally move on to something else for awhile.
