There are more than 1,500 planets in Bethesda’s newest open-world RPG, Starfield. This means plenty of opportunities for creativity when building outposts as each planet is as similar to each other as a shrimp looks the same as a lobster. One planet could be ideal to one player but could look disinteresting to another, in other words.

Our Facebook user decided that Gagarin is the best place to build an outpost and produce resources like sealant and adhesive. It is home to four raw materials: water, chlorine, lead, and chlorosilanes. It has an atmosphere similar to Earth's, being the closest neighbor to Jemison, in which the city of New Atlantis is located.

However, before anything else, let’s examine user Roberto Polesel’s outpost in Gagarin.

Roberto dialed in the nostalgia factor to the maximum with this picture. Right behind Sarah Morgan, who is dressed in what looks like traditional South Asian garb, is an equally traditional-looking home that somehow looks out of place with the futuristic hab on the left side of the picture.

Unfortunately, Roberto did not specify whether that house - probably where he got inspired to call his outpost a 'homestead' - was built using mods or glitches. We’re betting on mods, however.

This outpost is located on a mountaintop, which means it offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and is a great location to view the rising Alpha Centauri sun.

There’s no place like home for humanity, and, in this case, Gagarin and its sibling, Jemison, are closest to feeling like Earth, like any other planet in Starfield’s galaxy.

Users are testing the newest update, 1.10.30, on Steam Beta. Players are going crazy over the new facial expressions that they can use with their characters. We’re excited about what poses and selfies you explorers can come up with when the patch is finally available publicly!
