Best Extractors to Get

Extractor - Helium, Extractor - Beryllium, and Extractor - Aluminum for Starters

Helium, Beryllium, Iron, and Aluminum are four of the most common resources required for crafting. Building your first outpost on planets that have these resources can help you set up your outpost operations fairly quickly since you will essentially have unlimited access to these resources.

Mine and Gather Resources

Extractors are outpost modules that lets you mine, produce, and gather Resources passively. Once built, an extractor will begin producing Resources.

You can enhance an outpost's productivity by assigning crew, ranking up the Outpost Engineering skill, or crafting Robots.

How to Get Outpost Extractors

Build on Resource Veins

Extractors need to be built on veins since their primary function is to mine and gather Resources. Your scanner will mark areas specific colors, depending on the resource you're trying to extract.

Keep in mind that the position of your extractor relative to the resource vein does not affect how much resource your extract can produce. This means that you can place your extractor anywhere, as long as it's within the boundaries of the resource vein.

Craft Them Using Resources

All modules have a required amount of resources to craft them. Once you've acquired these resources, you can store them in your inventory, with your companion, or on your ship and the game will still consider the crafting conditions met.

Take note that some modules also require power while others have a hard limit on how many of those modules you can craft.
