Starfield has such an impressively deep outpost system that you could spend hundreds of hours building, including a cargo link feature to help with tying them together. A cargo link is how you connect one outpost to another, so they can transfer materials between each of them automatically. This is quite useful if you mainly craft at one spot or a particular planet is rich in a certain material you need.
How to Create a Cargo Link in Starfield
Creating a cargo link in Starfield is one of the more advanced outpost features, and there are two possible options. One is to make cargo links within the same system, and the other involves ones outside of the same system.
The former is the easier to make, as it only requires a certain number of materials to accomplish. Here is what you need for one in the same system:
- 2 Beryllium
- 2 Zero Wire
- 12 Aluminum
- 20 Iron
On the other hand, if you want an out-of-system cargo link, these are the materials you’ll need:
- 1 Comm Relay
- 1 Reactive Gauge
- 6 Aluminum
- 10 Iron
- Steady supply of five Helium-3 fuel to power each cargo transfer
With these materials, you can place it wherever you want in your outpost. When you do so, you’ll obtain a landing pad with a console that controls everything, a red container to ship items, and a green one for receiving items. Connect the red outgoing container to your extractors and other methods of gathering resources.
How to Connect Cargo Links in Starfield
Go to the other outpost you want to connect the cargo link to and set up the same situation there. Then you need to use the console at both cargo links at the separate outposts and set up their direct transfer connection. Note that you can only have up to three connecting cargo links at a single outpost.
Starfield is available for the Xbox Series X/S and PC.
