Outpost Power and Defense

A remote mine is useful only while its power, extraction, and transport stay active. Build a small protected production core before relying on an outpost’s stock.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

A remote campaign outpost beside a confirmed resource deposit.

Establish local generation beside the mine, protect the machinery, and then connect transport. Checking the receiving stockpile confirms that the outpost is contributing rather than merely consuming construction materials.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Rift travel and outpost access.
  • Local power structure and grid connection.
  • Defensive buildings suitable for the outpost threat.
  • A mine and transport connection for the chosen resource.
  1. Land near the confirmed deposit and pick a compact build area.
  2. Place local power where it can serve the mine and nearby defenses.
  3. Build the matching mine and connect it to power and storage.
  4. Add defenses around the mine, power structure, and approach to the production core.
  5. Check that the mine and defenses are operating before broadening the perimeter.
  6. Activate the rift transport connection when local production is stable.
  7. Inspect the main base stockpile to confirm the resource arrives.
  8. Maintain the site or return if its production or defenses fail.

Farming tips

  • Keep the core compact so defenses cover the buildings that sustain extraction.
  • Establish reliable local power before counting on a remote resource stream.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat this setup for each remote source. The outpost is reusable, but each mineral patch is finite and may eventually require a new location.

Common mistakes

  • Connecting transport before local production works: verify the mine and power first.
  • Building defenses away from the machinery: protect the actual production core.
  • Ignoring the receiving stockpile: confirm delivery before expanding the operation.

When to stop or switch

Stop expanding once the outpost supplies the needed resource; relocate or close it when its deposit is exhausted or the site cannot be maintained.
