Starfield: Master the Art of Renaming Outposts with These Proven Strategies

Building outposts is a crucial aspect of Starfield, serving both as a means to gather inorganic resources and store the vast amounts of loot obtained during the game's main story missions. As players progress through the explorable star systems, they will likely need to establish multiple outposts on different planets and moons, each offering unique elements and valuable items.

However, managing numerous outposts can become challenging as their numbers grow. Although the game automatically names each new outpost after its corresponding planet or moon, this naming system may not be sufficient for most players. Fortunately, renaming outposts in Starfield is a simple and straightforward process.

How to Rename Outposts in Starfield

To rename an outpost in Starfield, players can simply stand in front of the outpost beacon and press either the X button (Xbox) or the R key (PC). This action will enable them to input a new name, which they can confirm by pressing the A button (Xbox) or the Enter key (PC). It is crucial for players to only tap X or R when positioned in front of the outpost beacon. Holding down the button would result in the deletion of the entire outpost, with all of its contents being transferred to the player's inventory.

The Best Names for Outposts in Starfield

Identifying the planet upon which an outpost is established can be beneficial; however, given the vast expanse of Starfield comprising over 1,000 planets and moons, relying solely on this information may prove inadequate in monitoring outpost locations or discerning their intended functions. Consequently, players may find it advantageous to incorporate the details of the resources stored or extracted at an outpost into its name, particularly if they intend to transport items remotely from their vessel or another outpost.

Additionally, players may desire to construct an outpost as a residence or operational hub for their companions. Inclusion of relevant information within the outpost's name is also a reasonable suggestion. Ultimately, players possess the freedom to rename their Starfield outposts as desired, as long as they comprehend the applicable system and can distinguish between them. As the number of outposts may surpass 20, maintaining awareness of each outpost's activities may become quite challenging.

Starfield is available now for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
