How to Complete Outpost Development Research Projects
Complete at a Research Lab
You can research Outpost Development Research Projects at a Research Lab. These can be found in your ship, outposts, and major settlements in the game like New Atlantis.
Once you're at the Research Lab, you can do the following.
- Access the Research Lab terminal and select the "Outpost Development" category.
- Next, choose a research project that you want to work on. Each project will have a list of requirements, such as the types of resources you need and the skills needed to complete it.
- Gather the resources and unlock the skills needed to complete the project, then go back to the Research lab to complete it.
- You can contribute resources to the project at any time, and you can also speed up the research by assigning crew members to the Research Lab. Once the project is complete, you'll be able to build different modules in your oupost.
How to Unlock Outpost Development Research Projects
Complete More Research Projects
There are eight Outpost Development Research Project trees in the game. The first tier of each tree is already unlocked the first time you access the Research Lab terminal.
You need to complete the pre-requisite Research Projects in a tree in order to unlock all succeeding Research Projects in that tree.
What Are Outpost Development Research Projects?
Unlock Outpost Modules
Outpost Development research projects unlock modules that you can construct for your outposts. Outposts are modular base camps you can build throughout the galaxy using the resources you collect. They can be used as storage, your home on different planets, a base to mine resources, or a crafting and research hub.
