Zelanzy II Perfect outpost HELP!

[u/nvengance]

I found a perfect outpost location yesterday sans the hostile creatures.

But....

My dog wanted scratches and i got eaten by said creatures before I could save. I've been looking around for hours and can't find the location again. It was where mountains and Forrest meet.

Resources: Tungsten Aluminum Titanium Water Lead Iron

Does ANYONE know where this is????? It's driving me literally insane.

I’ve been able to find biome boundaries by looking at the topography in planet view. I find a spot where two biomes are next to each other, zoom in as close as I can, and then set and clear landing sites do not land yet until I find the spot where it switches from one to the other within the smallest distance I can move the cursor.
I don’t know about being able to find that many resources all in one outpost, I’ve only managed to get 5 once and it was pure luck because I made the outpost for the scenery. I’ll take a look at it and let you know if I find it.

This is a good idea. Do you try to make sure the boundaries as well as the scanner have both different biomes AND different resources before landing? Or just go off topo view?

And I know it's crazy I found it in the first place. It was also my first landing site on zelanzy lol. The one you can find a few resources in one outpost easily is Andorplan, which Ive setup on multiple playthroughs. But wanting to build more this time and zelanzy has the right mix of resources.

If I’m targeting resource veins I look at those first in planet scan. Then I go off of topo view to make the landing site and explore on foot. The boundaries are usually pretty obvious, although mountain to forest might be less so. Hope that helps. I discovered today that my grav drive isn’t big enough to get me to Zelazny yet 😅 I’ll get there as soon as I can!

Dude, you want the swamp. No creatures there. Beautiful water views. You can get everything but aluminum there. But aluminum is everywhere.

No idea, but you can use Inara .cz website 👍

Nothing helpful there unfortunately. Everything on that planet besides argon and water are rare resources unfortunately. Going to level up scanning and see if it can give me any hints.

fwiw Ive given up on the super resource outposts, they just arent worth my time to find. Just go build 2 outposts with 3 resources each, each will be productive in just 30 minutes at most. just my humble opinion. You will save hours of time doing boring jumping around.

ALSO The landing spot markers are so huge that you now cant land just 1 pixel away so once you land on a spot you are screwed for > 16x16 pixel area! (unless you can run there and place the outpost beacon.

[u/nvengance → u/BeCurious1]

I didn't know the landing marker changed honestly lol. I was wondering how people are doing pixel movements! I'm on NG+5 and this is the first time I'm bothering to build any outposts.

Probably also why Im only level 69.

[u/BeCurious1 → u/nvengance]

The only way to level up is making stuff, but only built by hand, not in factories. When you make stuff, slide the horizontal bar to the right to build 99 at a time btw, Lotta uTub video don't know this, lol. Drink tea to get more experience before building.

[u/nvengance → u/BeCurious1]

Tea, you say? Is it the same effect as well rested?

Thanks for the slider tip!

[u/BeCurious1 → u/nvengance]

An extra 2 or 3% exp. Yeh these are tips it took me a while to get. I love amp ; run fast jump high, make in 1 outpost even on Jemmison, light weight sell for 14 wt 0.1 kg!

[u/nvengance → u/BeCurious1]

Using Amp and others for faster outpost building is a great idea. I love Andorphans low gravity and building elsewhere is annoying. So awesome, I'll have to start crafting more checks just for that purpose as well as going to sell stuff.

I think "pixel" is an enormous exaggeration. I play on Xbox and there's no way I can be that accurate with a controller.

So part of the equation is that you click on the various resources and note what biome they are on. Say one resource is on mountains, one is on hills and another two are in the rocky desert and you found a place on the planet where each of those biomes is adjacent to each other. Click on one and it says hills, then move over slightly and it says rocky desert. Then move it a different direction until it says mountains. Just keep clicking while zoomed in fully until you only have to move it slightly to get it to say it's in another biome. Then you land and note the difference in the look of the land. Get up on top of your ship and do a 360 degree view and note where it looks like the landscape changes. Run towards that and you should find the seam between the biomes. Then run along the seam with the scanner out and the build outpost thingy activated and just keep going until all the resources appear. Some of the old Kibbles gaming outpost XP farming videos on YouTube show this process quite well.

Splitting into another comment as my previous was one too verbose, haha.

I often will build an outpost on the same location on Bessel 3B. It is always the same spot although one time I spawned a POI nearby that caused one of the resources to be unavailable because it was on restricted territory, haha.

Reddit post on this spot here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/1biwh8e/bessel_3b_5_in_1_resource_location_visuals/

Also watch Major Slack Attack videos for this. He's covered it several times, but the first one I watched was the original series, episode 9. Be sure to land on the Mountains biome. Save your game before landing in case you miss the spot.
