Industrialist

Outpost20 points

Produce 500 Total Resources from Outposts

To achieve this, harvest 500 units of resources from extractors at outposts.

Note that the progress for this task is not tracked in the status menu.

Guide to Unlocking "Industrialist"

To unlock the "Industrialist" achieve, you need to mine 500 units of chemical elements using Extractors at Outposts.

Steps

1. Build an Outpost

First, you need to build an output. See Home Sweet Home for more details on how to do this.

2. Construct a Resource Extractor

Open the Building Menu > Extractors to set up a Resource Extractor over a Resource Vein (the ground will be highlighted in a different color). Make sure to provide power to the Extractor by building a Solar Array or Wind Turbine. Ensure a minimum output of 5 PwR. You can access this in the Building Menu > Solar Array / Wind Turbine.

3. Establish a Storage Device

Build an appropriate storage container, either solid, liquid, or gas, according to the mined resource type. Go to Building Menu > Storage - Solid / Liquid / Gas.

4. Switch to "Modify" View

Press Tab to switch to "Modify" view.

Link the Extractor to the storage by right clicking and dragging a red line between the two in “Modify” view. Press E to connect the two.

The storage will automatically accumulate resources. To speed up the process, build additional sets of Extractors and Storage Containers.

Sleeping in-game for 24 hours repeatedly will accelerate resource accumulation.

This achievement unlocks after mining 500 units, even if you are engaged elsewhere.

Tips

  • Ensure containers don’t fill up completely to prevent halt in production. Empty or build additional containers as necessary.
  • Resources for construction can be conveniently purchased from merchants like the one in Jemison Mercantile, New Atlantis on Planet Jemison in the Alpha Centauri System. Revisit the merchant after a 48-hour in-game rest for restocked resources.
