Starfield: The Best Endgame Outpost - 300k XP/min - XP/Credit Farming

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to setting up the best endgame outpost in Starfield for maximizing XP and credits. By following these steps, you can achieve up to 300,000 XP per minute through effective XP and credit farming.

Chapter 1: Understanding XP Banners

• How XP Banners Work

  • XP Banners show the XP earned in a 4-second window.
  • If multiple kills happen within that timeframe, the banner only displays the first kill's XP.
  • To calculate actual XP per minute, multiply the XP shown on the banner by 15.

• Common Misunderstandings

  • Beware of misleading claims about XP rates in videos.
  • Always verify by recalculating the XP per minute from the banner displays.

Chapter 2: Preparation for the Setup

• Outpost Requirements
  • You will need to set up 15 different outposts across 7 planets.
  • Ensure you have leveled up your Outpost skills, except for botany, which only requires level 1.

Chapter 3: Setting Up Helium Outposts on Porrima II-B

1. Create Three Helium Outposts

   • Base 1 (Outer Helium):
     • Set up helium extractors.
     • Store helium and send it out via inter-system cargo links.
   • Base 2 (Inner Helium 1):
     • Use regular cargo links for incoming and outgoing helium.
   • Base 3 (Inner Helium 2):
     • Similar to Base 2, ensuring proper storage setup.

2. Naming Convention

   • Name outposts clearly for easy identification in cargo link menus.

Chapter 4: Setting Up Supply Bases on Katydid III

1. Create Three Supply Bases

   • Base 1:
     • Extract both indosite and silver.
     • Bring in helium from the outer helium plant.
   • Base 2:
     • Focus solely on silver extraction.
   • Base 3:
     • Additional base for indosite if needed.

2. Linking and Storage

   • Ensure extractors are linked to their respective storages and cargo links.

Chapter 5: Setting Up Outposts on Codos

1. Creating Solvent

   • Place greenhouses for solvent production.
   • Ensure water supply is connected to each greenhouse.
   • Link storage units for outgoing solvent.

2. Utilizing Cargo Links

   • Bring in helium from inter-system links to fuel other cargo links.

Chapter 6: Setting Up Outposts on Porrima V-C

1. Create Two Outposts

   • Extract antimony, gold, and copper.
   • Use regular cargo links to bring helium from Porrima 2B.

2. Fabrication Process

   • Set up fabricators to create zero wires and link them to storages.

Chapter 7: Creating Outposts on Porrima II

1. Set Up Two Outposts

   • Focus on cesium extraction.
   • Link helium and other materials for processing.

2. Fabricators Setup

   • Connect multiple fabricators to maximize production efficiency.

Chapter 8: Establishing Outposts on Porrima IV-D

1. Setup for Plutonium and Uranium

   • Create one plutonium outpost and two uranium outposts.
   • Use cargo links to bring in necessary materials.

2. Fabrication Process

   • Combine materials to create nuclear fuel rods.

Chapter 9: Finalizing Outpost on Decaran VII-B

1. Main Hub Setup

   • Extract both helium and vitinium on site.
   • Use cargo links to bring in plutonium, indosite wafers, and nuclear fuel rods.

2. Crafting Vitinium Fuel Rods

   • Pair extracted resources to maximize crafting output.

Chapter 10: Maximizing XP Gains

• Crafting Rates
  • Aim for 3.75 to 4 crafts per second to optimize XP earnings.
  • Utilize XP bonuses from sleep and food for additional boosts.

Conclusion

By following this step-by-step guide, you can efficiently set up a series of outposts that maximize both XP and credits in Starfield. After establishing your outposts, monitor your XP gains and adjust your setup as needed for optimal performance. With the right timing and resource management, you can achieve outstanding results in your crafting and farming endeavors.
