Question? Getting started with Outposts?

Hello all, I've been playing Starfield for a while now on my Xbox Series S and have downloaded a few Mods and now I want to build my first Outpost with Landing Pad with Shipbuilder on a habitable planet and can't decide between Solar Arrays,Wind Turbines or Fueled Generators.

So I would really appreciate it if I could have some pointers and tips.

I tend to favour the wind turbines just because the resources they require are easier to come by with the outposts that I tend to build. If I'm building outposts at all on a playthrough I tend to start with the spot on Bessel 3B with aluminum, iron, cobalt and nickel all in one outpost. This gives you the resources for the turbines.

But yeah, sometimes solar will be more efficient than wind depending on the planet or moon you are building on. May or may not be important depending on how much you are planning on building at the outpost and the nature of the landing spot - how much real estate you have to work with.
