To those who are wanting to have everything come to one base, you need to use a "waterfall" design. So you will have local outposts in other systems bring to a intersystem pad, that pad links with an outpost in your "home" system, and then that outpost dumps into the local pad for your "home" base. Ideally your home base should only ever have local links only, that connect to 3 outposts in system and THOSE have the intersystem links. For the remote system side, it's basically in reverse, you have the outpost or posts that have local links that bring it TO the one outpost that has the intersystem link, and then out to your home base. There is also a perk that allows you more outposts in addition to one that allows more links PER outpost, this perk also allows the various colonizing of extreme condition planets so you'll need this for some of the rarer resources anyway, so getting it will allow you to create more cargo links. You will have to look for a fair amount of double or even triple resource spots, but you should be able to get everything doing this. So ideally there should only be one intersystem link per system, with many local links coming to it and going out of it.
If you pick up the first person you talk to in game and place her at an outpost. She has Outpost Management 3 and of course you get that instantly upon placing her at an outpost.
Dude....I had no idea you only need to have Helium on one side. I've been setting up tanks and shipping it over in some convoluted system. LOL Thank you, you saved me big headaches for my next system of bases!
the problem im having, say i have an outpost with Cu, Al, W, and Li right? I want all that to go to my home base, but my cargo link at my home base is only bringing mass amounts of Cu and nothing else. at each resource I have 4 extractors linked to a single large storage, then that storage is linked to my cargo link. but the storage units at home are just full of copper and nothing else.
@@Grimreapera i realized i had wayy to many extractors, my cargo was filling up with one of the resoursec before anything else. i removed all but 1-2 extractors and it solved itself over time. i just obvi wasnt getting as many resources anymore
What not a single video about inter system links mentions is how do you get comm relays? Do you need a certain skill or have researched something to get them? I do not see it anywhere to build, and I cannot track it so that means I cannot buy them either.
I have a mission to create a cargo link at a civilian outpost. How do I make that work? I setup my own outpost as close as I could but it's still not close enough to drag a link to and I can't actually build anything at the civilian post. I'm going insane trying to figure this out.
For what ever reason my inter link wants to send helumim direct through the link to my tank out, that is if it ever sends I have yet to see any ships am I supposed to assign ships?
@@robertreynolds7948 it's a provided ship with the cargo link. Think of the ship as just an animation to show the cargo link working, it's not really real.
So I’m having an issue with my system clogging up. I have copper going into a cargo link and I also have zero wire being fabricated and I’m trying to send it in the same cargo link back to the base I have all fabricated items at but it’s completely packed with copper and won’t even add the zero wire to the “outgoing resources”. What should I do?
Unfortunately the outpost automation system is incredibly bare bones. You will either need to manually clear the clog or only have one resource per cargo link to prevent it. I really wish they set it up so that a percent of the 300Kg storage would be allocated to each resource coming in and that you could choose what material leaves per link.
I don't see the cargo link (inter system) option in my builder. Have now spent 3 hours looking in forums and videos, why I can only build normal cargo links. No answers.
So planet A sends Iron to planet C. Planet B sends Aluminum to planet C. Can I have both aluminum and iron on planet C get shipped to home base on planet D? Will it split the load for both, or will it alternate between the two?
I thought both connected pads needed Helium. This changes everything. Thank you. I wish that the pad that does not have helium wouln't be marked in red (0/5 Helium), insinuating that you need to connect it to Helium. That's really deceiving on the game's part.
Ok I'm still a little confused. I'm currently trying to import and export aluminum and beryllium from one star system to another star system. I set up a base on one planet in one star system and another base in one planet in one star system. One is harvesting aluminum and the other is harvesting beryllium. Can I set up cargo links so that I can transfer these 2 resources from one base to another that are located in different systems? If so how do I set it up? Do I need a dedicated ship to do that? Cause I noticed a ship was used landing on the cargo links. Thank you
Someone at Bethesda thought that a big 3x3x3 meters container cannot contain more than 75 kg, so you are forced to link them as an array of containers and this is quite stupid. On PC there is a solution, making the 75 kg limit go up to much more. Open the console, click on the container and type "setav carryweight 1000" and now you have a more realistic container that will have a 1000 kg limit as it should have.
Arrrgh just had a cargo link not register the link had to gothru another base then to destination. Intersystem worked fine on that base. Have to try another intersystem.
Someone explain to Bethesda placing a liquid tank on the inter system link that then requires a GAS link to be fed into is absolutely not straightforward..... Jesus that took me some time...
The outpost links are complete BS. I hope a mode comes up with a platform that can just connect to a bunch of other outposts and gather resources instead of having to daisy-chain every single outpost to each other. Also we need sorters!
there is no specific helium container, Helium-3 is a gas, so it uses the Gas Storage container. you can store many different gases using this container. If you're talking about a Helium-3 extractor, then you need to find a place that hot helium-3 hotspots, set up an outpost and it will be in the build menu. Basically only if a resource is available at your outpost do the corresponding extractor show up in the build menu.
research Fueled Generator, it uses helium 3 to generate 20 power per generator, using those along with a combo of solar/wind (which ever best apply to your planet) is how you power stuff.
You talk so fast. Some stuff made sense. The question have is, how do you power all of the different pads with helium? If I have a helium oupost how do I power all my pads with it?
This basically skipped over the entire process and didn't address any of the actual setup. I wish someone would just do a simple tutorial from scratch. sending 2 recourses one way and 2 the other. The console doesn't allow you to choose which you are sending.
@@evelbsstudio Only really encounted three so far. One was a crash to desktop, one was the workstations being blocked bug, and one floating rock. That last one was more funny than anything. Floating rocks is a staple of sci-fi after all.
I am more confused after watching this 😂

The FO4 communal resources system worked flawlessly, there was no reason to make it this convoluted.

If you pick up the first person you talk to in game and place her at an outpost. She has Outpost Management 3 and of course you get that instantly upon placing her at an outpost.
The Outpost Management skill level 1 gives you 3 additional cargo links. So your total per base would be 6.
That's great, but have to spend 9 perks in social to unlock that perk, might have to do some xp boost for that..
Dude....I had no idea you only need to have Helium on one side. I've been setting up tanks and shipping it over in some convoluted system. LOL Thank you, you saved me big headaches for my next system of bases!
Glad I could help
Yeah, that tip solved my link and distribution issue too I think, will try to troubleshoot after work today 😊
they should have just use that caravan system from fallout 4. that cargolink system is just unneccessary complicated
Yes i agree
Just building 1 platform in each outpost and then the ships do deliver everything to everywhere
Does the cargo link pad need to be fed by helium 3?
What if the planet/moon I'm at doesn't have it?
Only 1 side does
OooOoOoOoOoHhhh… you have to check the containers. I was so confused going into the control panel trying to get my stuff!
Best in depth explanation I found so far.

Yea I’m having the same issue I’m not sure if it’s behind a perk?
@@vadscomics2754 it seems you need to research it. Got it from another comment.
From what I read it’s unlocked through the main story
Build a research table or find one and upgrade the outpost one time. That will unlock it, I had the same problem
Thanks so much for the video mate. Very helpful.

how do you manage helium transdported to other planets and link them?
This is such a chore. I just want to complete one little side quest.
Arrrgh just had a cargo link not register the link had to gothru another base then to destination. Intersystem worked fine on that base. Have to try another intersystem.
dismantle and rebuild the landing pad, sometimes the game doesn't register the build.
If i have iron in post A and want it shipped to post B, do i link the pad from post A to send it to B?
No helium container on the platform I laid down.. am I missing something?
There are 2 different platforms
Someone explain to Bethesda placing a liquid tank on the inter system link that then requires a GAS link to be fed into is absolutely not straightforward.....
Jesus that took me some time...
the first perk gives u a total of 6 cargo links per base
Let's go Z!!! Loving starfield so far. Just hit level 10 and met the starborn!! 🔥🔥🔥
A weird flex to throw a spoiler comment on a tutorial video in the games first week, bud.
I would hardly say mentioning one word is much of a spoiler in my honest opinion. Plus he's already had a whole video on said "spoiler" bud 👍🏻
@@justcallmeeluke fair enough, wasnt aware of the video as I'm still catching up. Hope you're enjoying the game, pal!
Explained very nicely.
The outpost links are complete BS. I hope a mode comes up with a platform that can just connect to a bunch of other outposts and gather resources instead of having to daisy-chain every single outpost to each other. Also we need sorters!
I gave up on outposts they really don’t give much profit unless you get onto those extreme weather planets where the best ore is
Then you dont know what you’re doing lol
Can’t get a automated beryllium mine until I unlock the ability to build outposts on extreme weather planets
Three words, Tau Grade Rheostats.....
How do i get the helium container bc i dont see it

@@AgentExeider so i put a gas container on the pad and it will work?
2 working bases one transport.
Non of my cargo links gets helium-3 ???
In the first 3 minutes you did not show how you actually linked the bases.
bro how are you powering this stuff?
research Fueled Generator, it uses helium 3 to generate 20 power per generator, using those along with a combo of solar/wind (which ever best apply to your planet) is how you power stuff.
how are your habs so bright
Great explanation and tutorial. Appreciate it
Wish someone would make a mod to have unlimited cargo links.
Only ONE SIDE NEEDS HELIUM??????? I've been pulling my hair out for no reason I guess

Look him complaining about one bug, i have all of them
Not had any really apart from crashing after 10 hrs straight playing, rebooted pc and works again like a charm

new-game+ wipes out your bases dont i t
This was an awful explanation.
ngl none of this makes sense
Cargo links are broken, period.
Screw this. I'll be easier to fast travel.
all im hearing is um um um u people cant even explain anything right none of this is working more lies
Yeah, what this 👇🏻 guy said! You made this so much worse than it needs to be!
You shouldn't make videos. How about start an outpost from the very beginning.
Bro what the f*** is this video ?
6th whoo hoo lol
First
All you did was tell us what resources you have…
Why can't you get to the point.
confused. talk slower and more important things plz
Not gonna lie this video wasn’t helpful at all
This makes me just want to scrap my outpost! Not enough room... so stupid.
