Starfieldfans have created a Reddit community dedicated to building outposts, and it’s a treasure trove of amazing ideas.
Similar toHyruleEngineeringon Reddit, which allowsThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayers to share their in-game creations (everything from vehicles, enemy traps, and Korok torture devices), Starfield fans have been sharing their unique and clever outpost designs in a dedicated subreddit.
Appropriately named r/StarfieldOutposts, the subreddit is full of players showing off their latest creations, asking for advice, sharing recommendations, and more. So if you’re looking for inspiration when it comes to creating your own outposts, you know where to go.
Take a look at the post above for example. User Mattgyvercom has shared their outpost that “works on many different levels,” literally. The space station features a lot of habitat stacking which has resulted in “a confusing labyrinth of mostly usable towers and staircases.” The outpost certainly makes use of the tools and materials on offer, but I’d hate to be the one to climb all those staircases every day.
Elsewhere in r/StarfieldOutposts, we’ve gotAxle_65who has created a landing pad base that they’re “really happy” with. We can totally see why as this outpost features everything including a watch tower, a variety of habs, an outdoor lighting setup, multiple power generator types, and more.
Things get a little more extreme when you reach sterrre’s post though, which features an outpost built inside of a volcano - which is giving supervillain vibes, I gotta say. If you’re curious, the spot above can be found on Eridani in the Eridani system, on the “bottom left corner of the Starmap,” the player in question reveals. If you’re going to put a lot of time and effort into building an outpost, you might as well base it in the coolest place imaginable.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
The Witcher 4 may not have Geralt after all: his actor was “slapped by CD Projekt” for accidentally sharing a rumor that he’d be in it, just not as the protagonist
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a surprise update a year after its once-final update, even after CDPR moved basically every dev to other games: “Sometimes, you want to do it ONE MORE time!”
Todd Howard “rolled his eyes” at the idea of Troy Baker playing Indiana Jones in the Great Circle, but the Bethesda boss later told him “you’re doing a hell of a job”
