Starfield New New Atlantis Outpost Tour and building tips 

:) Didn't expect it to be even possible to build that close to the city... I love that glass bottom hab!

I put a deck on the roof with lounge chairs and coolers. It's a nice place to unwind with a beer.

that sounds awesome!

You should give it another go! The system is kind of finicky and confusing at first, but once you get a feel for how it works it becomes a lot less overwhelming

​@MissOPlays and to be fair, that is also true of the settlement building in FO4. it takes a LOT of learning. 😊

One of the bigger problems of bethesda games nowadays i feel, as much as i love creative building in games. Here it feels like a chore to get into and a chore to do, with all the placement restrictions, cumbersome movement and aggressive snapping. Takes days to learn how to work around the annoying parts of the system, which indicates a really, really bad design. Fallout 4 already had problems on that front but now, a decade later, it‘s even worse. At least outposts are pretty much entirely optional, aside from some resource gain (the design of that is also very annoying) and some leveling cheese methods (at that point, honestly, just use console commands, same cheesy method and even faster). So people don‘t have to bother with any of this, but for those of us who enjoy building, that makes the experience twice as unrewarding.

@@Random_Banshee I don't know that it makes it unrewarding, but it can definitely feel like a struggle. It's weird because somethings feel easier than FO4, but a lot of other things feel harder for sure. I find myself thinking "I shouldn't have to jump through this many hoops to place this here" pretty often, but have to admit when I see the final result come together I typically feel a huge sense of accomplishment

I agree, she could revolutionize outposts if they let her.

@@user-gq1rf5yg9z For sure! These Outposts seriously look better than some of the places Bethesda designed.

It's a great spot!

Thanks! I'm already working on my captains quarters and cursing the game's attempts to sabotage me with ladders

@@MissOPlays trust me I understand that pain well lol

spite builds!

Ha, come to the darkside we have outposts. I keep trying to play other things, but it keeps pulling me back in

Built a complete network of Bounty Hunter Outposts next to missions boards in all the outer systems. Stupid, simple, and newbie easy. But now it's the main base time. So, I'll shut up, watch, and learn from the Grandmaster.

My frustration is "object placement." I'm PC based as a player, and the physics can drive me nuts. Absolutely nuts.

Plants also keep growing into select habs, which is also frustrating.

I'll go to your library, make some popcorn, and see what's wrong with my technique.

@@Striderspawn placing items in build mode can help with the physics problems, the only downside it can make placement options a bit more limited

I think I saw a mod in the creation list that will allow you to build all the mission boards. So you won't have to trek out to those outposts and facilities anymore unless you want to get random quests from NPCs.

​@harvbegal6868 I enjoy flying around visiting Mt Bounty Hunter Bureau's RPGing whilst waiting on updates and DLC's

I'd love to be able to blueprint outposts. I know there used to be a mod for PC that allowed that in FO4, it would be cool if something similar became available for Starfield

I've never timed how long it takes to do these builds, but it's probably best if I don't know, and yes I very much play the game as well. I platinumed it in my first play through, and been making my way through this second playthrough going much heavier on the "bad guy" antics than I did in the first now that the empty ship bug has been fixed Other great games for building are Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, your friend would probably enjoy those too. FO76 is great because you can go check out other people's CAMPs since it's online, and FO4 has a lot of fun things you can build, plus with all the mods available there is an amazing amount of things you can do build in that game

I used the same technique as with the skybridge in this video, the only difference is the airlocks still have their stairs, they're just hidden by the rugs this time

It's completely vanilla, so doable with just what you can find in the base game

I'm a console player too, so all of my builds are 100% vanilla. I have some tutorial videos That cover some of the techniques I use to create my builds, and constantly updating that section of the channel to share as many of them as possible if you wanted to attempt them for yourself

the walkways I built the way as I did the skybridge in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-89LvYFCJKZY.html the only real difference is the stairs are still attached to the airlocks and just obscured by the rugs As to the beachside canopies I do have a new way to do them! I had been holding off on finishing that video because it sounded like the new update might patch this one out too, but looks like it still works, so I'm going to get that video finished and up soon

Yay!! I’m so excited. I have this little oasis im dying to put together

Wait did I say this outpost was on jemison? I meant to say Bannoc IV

She's Carmen San Diego so good luck.

I started playing with those the second the update was finish downloading!! Only got my captains quarters finished so far. Currently it looks like the trickiest part is going to be figuring out how to build into/around some of the weird structural pieces and floor plans in the empty habs. Makes for an interesting challenge at least though!

I’m here for it when you figure it out.

Some of the stuff she brought over from New Atlantis. Literally dragged them from the city to her outpost.

A couple of things, the red cushion and suitcase were dragged over from new Atlantis, the rest are either in the build menu, or misc items that I've collected in my travels. Things like the pillars and display boxes are made by combining things like pedestals and benches to create new looking objects. If there's a particular item your wondering about I can let you know if it was a combo or found object

sadly yes, though typically if you save your game, and reload that save before leaving of fast traveling, that will prevent the sinking from happening most of the time

none at all, this is 100% vanilla

Ha! that was Daredevil, he had some critiques
