With Starfield spanning hundreds of planets, keeping track of your crew is important in running your quests smoothly.

How do you assign crew to outposts?

In Starfield, your crew can be a valuable asset, not only by providing you with skill buffs and assistance in combat, but also by drastically increasing the efficiency of your outposts. Here is how to assign crew members to an outpost:

1. Open the main data menu.
2. Navigate to the ship menu.
3. Click on the “Crew menu” button in the bottom left corner.
4. You will see a list of the number of crew members you have unlocked in a crew roster menu.
5. Select the crew member you want to assign to an outpost.
6. Press “X” on your controller or click on the cursor on PC to designate them to an outpost.

Important: If you don’t see the option to assign crewmate members and companions to an outpost, it’s because you haven’t built a crew station yet and need to update your outpost management skills or increase the outpost’s requirements. To build a crew station, you will need the following materials:

• 3x Nickel
• 5x Aluminum
• 2x Iron

Once you have built a crew station, you can assign available crew members to your available outpost. When assigning various crew members, it’s important to consider their skills and the requirements of the outpost. For example, if you have an outpost that is focused on mining, you would want to assign active  crew members with mining skills.

By carefully assigning new crew members to your outposts, you can greatly improve their efficiency and productivity. 

Additional tips for assigning enough members to outposts

• Make sure to assign crew members to respective roles that match their skills. This will help them to be more productive and efficient in their crucial role.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment with different assignments and a different outpost option. You may find that certain crew members are more effective in different roles than you originally thought, try random assignments.
• Keep an eye on the performance of your outposts. If you notice that an outpost is not performing as well as it could be, you may need to reassign some of the crew members depending on the skills of each crew member.

By following these tips, you can make the most of your crew members, the level-up process, and ensure that your outpost beacons are running smoothly across the Galaxy.
