Clutter - what's it all for? (lemmy.world)

I'm further along in the game and have an outpost set up where I can easily dump resources, along with production from other places providing all kinds of resources.

Thing is, what was I supposed to do with it all? I started making quite the tower of solid storage along with a good amount of resources, but 6 stories later, I shut down my mine and disabled the resources coming in from other planets because I got tired of trying to keep up with the intake. I still have more than I know what to do with and even if I start automated production of components, what do I do with that?

Am I missing something?

I mainly just want to dump all the resources from my ship and have most of the stuff when I'm building something (which I do).

Resource drop-off had been sketchy lately. It works sometimes, sometimes not (stuck in the output hopper). Any advice on that would be fantastic.

Right now in starfield outposts are just an incomplete feature. There is no reasonable sink for what you get out of them except a meager handful of delivery quests (I.e. a shipyard wanting 600 aluminum) and building more outposts.

I think because fast travel is so incredibly trivial and mandatory they sort of wrote themselves out of being able to have space trucking be a viable option. What we should see is raw ore selling for like 20x what it does today so that mining becomes economically viable... but then it'd just be a free money spout. The whole feature needs so much more fucking work.

The speculation is that at some point in development you'd be limited in travel distance by fuel reserves and from that outposts would be vital to extend your supply lines. It was apparently just not very fun so they scrapped the need for fuel entirely and with that outposts lost their primary in game function.

i remember todd saying it was a complete fun killer running out of fuel. but it may come back in a survival mode
