How to set up a Cargo Link in Starfield

To establish your first Cargo Link in Starfield, you will need to have at least two Outposts built that you can set up a chain between.

Here’s a handy set of instructions to break down this process for you:

1. Find and build any two Outposts in Starfield.
2. Go to one of the Outposts and find the in-game building menu.
3. Select Cargo Link.
4. Get the required materials to build it:
   • 2 Beryllium
   • 2 Zero Wire
   • 12 Aluminium
   • 20 Iron

5. Set the Cargo Link down in the area you want it.
6. Repeat this process at the other Outpost(s).
7. Climb to and interact with each Cargo Link to activate them!

Any additional Outposts just need the same process to make your connections even bigger. It’s simple but effective and will help you keep on top of your storage.
