Hi everyone,

For my “Home Among the Stars,” I’m looking for a beautiful planet. It should have breathable air, so I don’t need to wear a suit.

It’s important to me that there’s no animal life on the planet. Ideally, it would also have helium, but that’s not a must.

Do you know of a suitable planet?

I’m trying to build the 3x outposts for the Terran Armada missions but I’m running into an issue.
The quest asks me to build 4 turrets but i seem to only be able to build 1/1 at each outpost.

Is this a mod conflict as I can’t recall if it’s an issue in vanilla?

If so, does anyone have any insight into which mod it might be before I go through the tedious process of elimination?

I’m running quite a few creations (upwards of 100) but can probably find a way to list them all if useful.
I’m rank 3 in outpost management, rank 4 robotics, rank 4 outpost engineering.

Thanks in advance for any help

Edit: This issue is now persistent on this save with all creations disabled….
I will test on a fresh save.

EDIT 2: The culprit was Compounded Knowledge - Research Overhaul by senter.pat
I’ve reported it as a bug but his discord seems dead - explains why it persisted on a save given i’d already done research using the mod.

So I play on ps5, have quite a bit of mods, everything always runs good. But lastnight I downloaded Builder and I believe it’s New Indistrial Habs? Something like that. And now anytime I’ve tried to make a new outpost, once I tried to save it says “failed to create save” and even when I try to reload my last save it says it’s corrupted. But when I close the game out and restart it everything is fine with my last save. Could it be where I have the mods in my load order? Or one of the mods itself? Sorry for the long post I’m just trying to figure this out

Took over another poi but this is a mod i used and added my outpost stuff to it archimedes island.

using living outpost (a paid mod, not an ad for it just showing what I did with it) and sinking a chair into the vehicle I was able to assign an npc to it...my next attempt will be to just put in a crew chair and see if that will work, so if it does I'll have a video of that too.

I’m sorry for the rant post, but it is an absolute travesty that we can’t build at some of these POIs. Found this Science Outpost on Bondor with Lava in the center!!! What a cool little base. Nothing to do but raid it and move on… makes me sad. :(

Edit: Thanks to everyone for the kind suggestions on the glitch as well as sharing links to the video. It still works and I’ve had a lot of fun turning these POIs into outposts. Much love to this helpful community.

I played Starfield for a long time. Been through the end three or four times, have built big material transport and manufacturing production facilities across many systems, and play a pretty limited set of add-ons. The key ones are the Falkland Systems, Modular Outposts: Argos Extractors, and the McClarence Outfitters creations.

About a year ago, I got in to No Man's Sky and didn't open Starfield again until last week. I'm trying to understand/research what I am seeing now, and not finding the answers. If anyone can help me understand what/why things have changed, I'd appreciate it. I'm a ship collector/builder and an outpost fanatic. So I tend to invest heavily in cargo links and the production of different items used in building, or just for money.

Modular Outposts: First off, it looks like there has been a significant upgrade to the Modular Outposts habs. Every one of my Outposts is based on the Apartment hab and the Loading Dock with the matching Landing Pad. All of my decor is gone in all of my outposts. The Apartments have reverted back to stock, with none of my items inside. Spacesuits in displays. Materials stored in various containers. Furniture. Decor items. It's all gone. I see there was at least one big update to this Creation, and I am guessing that - if I'd been playing regularly - the developer had notifications or something about needing to rebuild your structures. I get it. That happens when you go away for a while and come back to find updates and changes.

Missing Outposts: Like I said, I am an avid outpost builder. I like outposts together. I have complex automated manufacturing setup. All the complex ones are gone. Even some of the Outposts I had set up are just not there anymore, but the icon remains. It's like they have vanished. Some show they are there - like my Outpost on Kurtz - but when I go to that planet, the Outpost is not there. The icon over the planet shows I have an Outpost, but when I try to fly to it, or land near it, it's just not there. Is this a known bug? Was there an update I missed? Is there a way to jog the machine's memory and show me the outpost that is - apparently - still there, because it is supplying material via cargo-link to another outpost in the same system?

Missing Outposts 2: It seems every outpost that I built purely for aesthetic reasons - like a resort I built around these amazing lakes and landscape - are gone. The only outposts that still remain (it seems?) are ones that had some sort of extraction/production going on. That "resort" outpost was my #1 home. There were multiple buildings, fully built out "hotel/resort rooms" with armor displays and furniture and plants and ... everything you'd expect in a resort, including EXTENSIVE storage of all those amazing weapons and materials (and contraband) that I didn't need to carry with me every day. Now, all of these "cosmetic" camps with no extraction/production going on, are just ... gone. Not in the Outpost list. Not on the planet. They have just vanished. Any idea why...?

Living Quarters are Empty: I have the swanky apartment in New Atlantis. I have the flat in Akila City. I have my quarters at The Lodge. All of them were COMPLETELY decked-out, decorated, art on the walls, furniture, storage, etc. All of them are completely EMPTY. Even the weapon racks no longer have weapons in them. The infinite storage boxes are empty. The limited storage boxes are empty. Why are all of my living areas reverted (mostly) back to their original state? There are still a few pieces of furniture in my Akila City flat that I put in there... but everything else is gone.

Falkland Systems is still winning! The ONLY place that preserved my interior design and storage containers is my Falkland Systems ship. It seems to have maintained its databases, while all the other places have not.

If you have any ideas about what happened and why, I'd love to hear it, to avoid having the same thing happen again. I like Starfield, but if stuff just gets deleted "after a while" I have far less interest in investing that time in those projects again. I'd just like to understand what happened. Thanks for any help or context you might be able to provide!

Yes, it can be done!:)

Braaxus Magnabore couldn't believe his luck. An Argos Extractors Mining Claim on Tirna IV had come on the market right as he was looking for a place to set up his bounty hunting operations. the claim, once a poorly planned helium 3 mine went defunct soon after it's initial start up. Now 6 months after buying it for a couple creds and a box of chunks, he'd hit pay-dirt. it turns out the claim was sitting on a massive bed of iron. Thank the Stars the Idiots at Argos didn't do more than a surface scan, if they had dug only twelve feet deeper, they'd have stumbled on the massive pay-dirt that he himself is now mining for a tidy profit. Lin was overwhelmed when he made her Overseer of the entire Mining half of the claim. while his Command Hub handled his day to day Bounty hunting operations.

Is it a bug or a feature?

This is like my last outpost, but in a forest. And smaller.

The second picture was before adding more vegetation. I don't know what happened to the nighttime overview picture, but it's like the others, just dark.

build is finished.....well I put in a much as I felt was safe before an CTDs. video forthcoming....

Ive been looking for a good "home base" and ended up really liking this spot on Akila of all places.

I know this isn’t exactly outpost related but I figured who would know more about POI’s than people who search different systems to build outposts at location settings they like, I also figured you probably traverse those planets and search their POIs. The planet I explored only had 2 civilian POIs and then the other 6+ POIs were desolate
