Outpost Engineering is an Expert Science Skill. It is used for unlocking modules to improve player-built outposts.
Ranks[]
| Rank | Challenge | Bonuses |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Build 5 different outpost modules | You can construct improved outpost modules and research additional modules at a Research Station. |
| 2 | Build 25 different outpost modules | You can research and construct superior outpost modules. |
| 3 | Build 50 different outpost modules | You can research and construct cutting-edge outpost modules. |
| 4 | N/A | Outpost modules now cost 50% fewer resources to build |
Progression and Strategy[]
Outpost Engineering is easy to level, assuming the player has enough crafting materials to build the modules required. If the player chooses to collect the materials manually, it can be more time consuming.
Outpost Engineering is essential for making highly productive outposts (i.e. mining). If the player is only using the outpost for say, a crafting area, then Outpost Engineering isn't really that useful. If the player has no intention to build or use player outposts, Outpost Engineering is entirely useless. It is a highly situational, one trick pony skill that is arguably the best Outpost Skill in the game.
