Starfield: Best Planets for Outposts

Finding the best planets for outposts in Starfield can be quite a demanding and rigorous task for players. It plays a vital role in having the right kind of resources in sufficient amounts to keep your outposts running at all times. In addition to that, outposts in Starfield offer you the benefit of clearing up your cargo space of unnecessary items.

Moreover, the resources found on the planets where you plan to build your outpost can also be crucial for providing various elements to build your perfect starship. However, with all those benefits comes the risk of weather, climates, enemies, space pirates, and more. So, let us take a look at how to choose the best planets for outposts in Starfield.

Best Planets for Outposts in Starfield

In the early stages of finding the best planets for outposts, you need to ensure that you go for the planets with the three main resource combinations including Iron, Aluminum, and Helium-3. Once you have an abundance of these, you can ensure that your base is harvesting at all times. However, other resources like Tungsten also prove essential for your complex ship buildings.

But often the rare or special elements are located on the planets with extremely hazardous climate conditions. Now, these conditions can range anywhere from being extremely hot, if the planet is located closest to the sun, to being extremely cold in the case of the planet being the farthest from the sun. Therefore, it is crucial to look for the climate conditions and habitation capability to survive there or you will be required to unlock and upgrade the Planetary Habitation skill.

Additionally, considering the role of alien species, killer animals, or space pirates, is also important to ensure your outpost’s survival on the planet. With all of these in mind, let us now check out what could be the best planets for outposts in Starfield for you:

  • Androphon
  • Porrima IV-D
  • Leviathan IV
  • Callisto Maheo II
  • Zamka

Androphon

Found in the Narion system, Androphon is a moon of the Sumati planet. This moon has an abundance of resources like Iron, Aluminum, Helium-3, Beryllium, and even an exotic element named Europium. Additionally, the planet houses all of these elements in a single place if you can find that location somewhere between the mountains and craters. Moreover, the planet has a rather flat surface for the most part which makes the outpost building an easier task.

Porrima IV-D

This is yet another moon of the planet, Porrima IV. It houses yet another abundance of various resources. You will find Nickel, Water, Argon, Carboxylic Acids, Neon, Uranium, Lead, and Plutonium. Moreover, Plutonium being a rare resource can help you make money in the game at a rapid rate.

Leviathan IV

Found in the Leviathan planet system is yet another planet housing some rare elements like Fluorine and Ytterbium while also offering regulars like Iron, Copper, Water, Chlorine, and Aluminum. However, with chances of encounters with dangerous species and unexpected storms, you need to be wary of your outpost location.

Callisto

Found in the Sol system and serving as the moon of Jupiter, Callisto seems to be one of the best planets for outposts in Starfield for players early on. It has an abundance of the basic required elements which are Helium-3 and Iron while offering a normal climate. Moreover, it is also safe from space pirates or criminals of any sort that could be dangerous for an outpost setup.

Maheo II

This is a planet of significant beauty found in the Maheo system. It houses the resources like Lead, Copper, Helium-3, and Iron. Meanwhile, it also has three exotic elements  Alkanes, Tetrafluorides, and Ytterbium which can prove to be quite worthy of all the effort. Although, you need to be ready for the harsh climate this planet offers.

Zamka

The last on our list of Starfield’s best planets for outposts is Zamka which is a moon of the planet Olivas. It is found in the Alpha Centauri system itself and also houses several types of resources. The resources consist of Water, Iron, Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, Helium-3, Uranium, and Vanadium. However, you tend to have a risk of facing mercenaries and space outlaws on this moon. So, be sure to find a safe location and keep your guard up.

That was all for our guide on the best planets for outposts in Starfield. Head on over to our guide that goes over the nitty-gritty of the outpost building process in Starfield.
