When you place down an Outpost Beacon &#8212; which is essentially the beating heart of each base &#8212; you&#8217;ll take up one Outpost slot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of Outpost slots that you have available can be seen when you use your Hand Scanner; it&#8217;s at the bottom left-hand side of your screen (as highlighted in the image below).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-many-outposts-can-you-have-in-Starfield.jpg?resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"How many outposts can you make in Starfield?\" class=\"wp-image-981246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-many-outposts-can-you-have-in-Starfield.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-many-outposts-can-you-have-in-Starfield.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=600 600w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-many-outposts-can-you-have-in-Starfield.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=80 80w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-many-outposts-can-you-have-in-Starfield.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=160 160w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-many-outposts-can-you-have-in-Starfield.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=622 622w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/How-many-outposts-can-you-have-in-Starfield.jpg?resize=640%2C360?w=150 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Source: Twinfinite via Bethesda Game Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Luckily, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/starfield\/how-to-delete-outposts-in-starfield\/\">delete<\/a> Outposts to free up more room, so if you&#8217;re thinking of relocating your base to another planet, it&#8217;s totally doable. But, what if you wanted more than a measly eight? Is there a way to have more? Well, you read our mind as there&#8217;s indeed a way for you to get even more Outpost slots in <a href=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/starfield\/starfield-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starfield<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-how-to-increase-your-maximum-number-of-outpost-slots\">How to Increase Your Maximum Number of Outpost Slots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to increasing your maximum amount of Outpost slots is tied to the <strong>Planetary Habitation Skill<\/strong>, which can be found in the Science tree. When you unlock this, you&#8217;ll be able to net an additional four slots with every rank, culminating in a grand total of 24 Outpost slots at rank 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside? Planetary Habitation is one of the last Skills in the Science tree, so you&#8217;ll need to invest 12 points into the tree before you can unlock it. That being said, if you&#8217;re looking to build lots and lots of bases across different planets, this is undoubtedly the skill for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And on that note, we conclude our guide on <strong>how many Outposts can you have in <a href=\"https:\/\/bethesda.net\/en\/game\/starfield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starfield<\/a><\/strong>?
