The Starfield outposts mechanic was an interesting surprise from the Starfield Direct back in June, so you may want to learn more about it before release – as we have some details on the modules, locations, and how to build outposts in general.
Starfield is a space-faring role-playing game from Bethesda Game Studios and its first new IP in over 25 years. While much of the game will seem familiar to Elder Scrolls and Fallout fans, Starfield does make some changes and add new features to the developer’s iconic formula.
If you want to learn more about outposts in Starfield before beginning your adventure, check out everything we know about the mechanic so far.
What are Starfield outposts?

Starfield outposts are essentially base camps that you can set up nearly anywhere on any planet in the game.
They are highly customisable and modular, allowing you to create outposts in many different shapes and sizes, that serve various purposes.
For example, you could make an outpost designed for living in and storing your main loot, or you could create an outpost for harvesting specific resources.
Outposts in Starfield can also be manned by companions and crew, giving them added bonuses and something for the NPCs to do when they aren’t adventuring by your side.

Outposts are built from modules, which are individual rooms or buildings that you can construct and join together. Each module will require a certain amount of resources to be built, so you will need to scavenge and think about what resources you need before beginning construction.

The only modules we of so far for Starfield outposts are the ones highlighted in the Starfield Direct video.
These are:
- Outpost Airlock
- Four Wall Hub
- Hydroponic Hab B
- Military Hab
- Hydroponic Hab Round
- Small Hex Hab
- Hallway – Industrial
- Watchtower
Outpost modules are also affected by your skills, as the Outpost Engineering skill has an effect on the types of modules you can construct.
We’ll update and verify this list once Starfield has released, adding all the outpost modules we find in the game.
What are the Starfield outpost locations?

Outposts in Starfield can be built nearly anywhere on every planet, meaning they aren’t limited to specific locations like the settlements in Fallout 4.
However, there are still some limitations to the system. For example, by default, you can’t build outposts on planets with extreme temperatures, or extreme gravity, and will need to put points into the Planetary Habitation skill to unlock the ability to build in these locations.
This same skill also increases the number of outposts you can build throughout the Settled Systems, maxing out at 16 outposts if you get rank four in Planetary Habitation.
That’s our full breakdown of Starfield outposts, and now you know more about their role in the game and how they work, along with the various modules you can use to construct them.
