One of the important parts of an Outpost is the beacon that is placed as the very first step of the whole process. This beacon outlines the far edges of the Outpost you're forming from the raw materials you've brought to the far away part of the Settled Systems. The beacon, while at first being the center of your new domain, is also where you will spawn into the Outpost when your ship returns from the stars. This item can be moved anywhere once the Outpost has been created. | One of the important parts of an Outpost is the beacon that is placed as the very first step of the whole process.
