InStarfield, choosingwhere to build your first outpostcan be tricky. Then, figuring out how to make it work the way you want is an additional hurdle. From building power sources and extractors, to manning the Outpost with Crew Members, there are plenty of mechanics to explore.
Starfield: 15 Best Outpost Locations, Ranked
Choosing the right outpost locations in Starfield is essential. This list simplifies your decision-making process.
Players delving into Outposts have been stumped by Fueled Generators in particular, which say they require Helium-3 to function. However, there is no visible way to add this resource to the generator, and it does not pull from nearby chests and/or your inventory. For everything you need to know about creating and fueling these generators, keep reading.
How To Build A Fueled Generator
Building a Fueled Generator requires you to have an outpost and some materials. The recipe for building a fueled generator is:
Because this generator requires a constant supply of Helium-3, it is best to use it on Planets where the resource can be extracted.
Starfield: How To Assign Crew To An Outpost
Having trouble figuring out how to assign crew members to outposts? Here is a guide to help!
How To Get Helium-3
You will findHelium-3on many planets and moons in Starfield. To find out whether a planet has a resource, you’ll need toscan it from orbit. If a planet has Helium-3, you can extract it manually or with an Outpost.
Extracting a resource manually requires you to physically land on the planet and travel to a gas vent. A prompt will appear for you to press. If you’d like to automate the process instead, a Helium-3 extractor can be built using an Outpost.
How To Power & Start A Fueled Generator
Once the generator is built, and you’ve located a source of Helium-3, this is where many players become stuck. There is no easily discernable way to feed the generator and power it on. To do so, you’ll need to build what is called an Output connection. This connection must go from a powered Helium-3 extractor or a gas storage filled with Helium-3.
How To Create A Connection To Your Generator
Connections in Starfield allow you to tell resources to travel from one place to another without having to be moved manually. It is part of Starfield’s automation system for Outposts. To build a connection:
Then, once the generator is supplied with Helium, it can be activated using E on a PC or A on a controller.
