I haven't figured out the point of outposts yet. You can use them to make money, I guess, but it's not like money is hard to make in this game. It would be cool if they put something in the game that you could only get through outposts, like end-game crafting mats for modding or something.
But AFAIK, there's no point to outposts... another of the many shallow mechanics in this game.
It's part of how you can gather materials more on demand or long term than hoping you loot some or going and buying them, and it's about being able to make your own space to live in and feel like you made something neat.
I tried to make a ship to live out of with every crafting station and tons of cargo, but the ship just ended up massive and unwieldy to move around in.
I ended up creating a base with lots of organized storage and such so that I can now have whatever size and kind of ship I want, just for funsies, and I can leave all the storage and crafting shit at "home".
I'm glad they let you gain materials and such in different ways, so if I really really wanted to, I could just bust my ass running missions and use my money to buy mats.
How do you add crafting stations to your ships?
Put a "workshop" hab on it for most of the things, and a "science" hab for the pharma stuff and a kitchen.
Infirmary also has pharma and research station.
Some of the Living Quarters and All In One and Mess Halls, etc have cooking stations.
Stroud-eklund and Deimos 2x1 workshop hab have them. Stroud-eklund dealership can be found on Neon, Deimos' dealership can be found orbiting Mars' moon Deimos. Those two workshop habs have industrial, gunsmithing, spacesuit and research benches.
Thanks! Are there different habs available at different facilities? I've just started scratching the surface of this game
Yeah. Besides the two mentioned, Hope on Polvo in the Valo system, Taiwo on Neon, and ... shit I'm missing one, it's on a moon I think but I can't remember the system or the brand. There are two geezers out front to welcome you to the place, very run down spot. Not sure if it was Gagarin.
Thanks!
