I believe that you really only have the key game buildings left at your HQ. With most things built in this outpost, your main HQ will be easier to build your defenses. With the sludge you could also set up one of those cultivator farms that some consider overpowered if you wanted.

I also used the power to set up synthesizers for Carbonium and Ironium for when my mines run out. So the Sludge and Geothermal Energy have with the power hungry buildings such as Research. You may not have to deal with creature hordes, but you will still need to handle Environmental events that can still damage your buildings such as meteor showers or earthquakes.īesides everything being safer from creature raid, all of the additional power is very helpful. So you could technically build across the whole map if you cleared it and not need to worry about creatures. I normally build a radar and rift gate at key building locations to be safe. Once you clear an area of the local creatures, you should be clear to build without the worry about creatures. You only need to deal with the local creatures. The key here is that this mission/outpost map does not get any raids from attacking creatures. So you can move your armory, research buildings and storage building to this Outpost opening up building space at your HQ. So any structure that can share its functionality globally can be move here. With these resources, you should be able to move almost all of your key structures away from your HQ and build them at your outpost. For the map that I did, I used the geo scanner and found multiple Geo Thermal Vents for additional power and mud/water.

Once you have completed the research for Gas Power plants, the sludge will make it easy to power everything.

This area should be full of Sludge, which is what make this a good place to set up an outpost. The place where you come in is not always the best play to build the outpost. You are going to want to explore to find a good placement for your outpost. Instead of completing the mission right away, explore as much as possible. The first mission that I would suggest is doing Acid Plain Reconnaissance. Once you have finished building your orbital scanner, you should soon be able to going out and explore other Biomes. The main idea is to create an Outpost and manage most of your key buildings from there as they are safer. Other advice and observations from my experience.
