This will be a brief tutorial to start you on your way to having and running your very own Outpost. To get started you will need to locate a spot on the map of a resource which you will be looking to gather more of. You are going to be focusing on items that do not replenish and are in regionally locked areas. Common resources needed early on are things such as; Logs, Wood, Tin, Cooper, River Reed, and Mud. You will need housing, food, storage, jobsite(s), and of course villagers.
First, Locate a spot and begin by building a housing tent for your villagers to live in. Next we will press the “N” key to open up our settlement window. Proceed to the buildings tab and click the Bellwright icon on the right side of your screen. Now let’s click create Outpost. Proceed with a memorable name and let’s continue.
The outpost is now named and created. To assign a villager to this location we’ll now click the Population tab. Click a villager you think would be best suited for this outpost. Now our outpost has someone we can ferry resources over to build a stock pile and logging camp. Let’s take a look at how we can do that after building a stockpile.
Using the top Left and Right arrow keys, we will navigate to our Outpost. This system REQUEST’s items FROM(Josam) the location that you select. Start by typing in the resource you need to request at the bottom of the window. In this case I have selected Mushrooms to feed my NPC.
Select the location you wish to RECEIVE items or goods from. Following the location selected we have the option of a Once/Daily/Weekly delivery method. Finally add the amount you wish you request using this feature. Next I will swap this back to my main camp and setup the same delivery to receive logs everyday from him.
Filip will now not need any additional service in feeding himself. Tool management can be setup with delivery methods or just send resources to repair. Now with time you will begin receiving logs and sending food all to fuel your adventure forward. Take advantage of this wonderful system in order to have a better Bellwright experience.
Additional Information;
- Outposts do have a separate threat level from other Outposts/Main village.
- Outpost deliveries are all simulated and do not utilize NPC’s to make the deliveries themselves.
- While not required it is advantageous to have Outposts near roads for travel signs.
- Items are delivered at midnight
