Starfield Shipping Magnate Achievement Guide – Connect 5 Outposts with Cargo Links (10 G)
This is one of the more complex achievements in the game. It will require a lot of resources, it’s best you make a Manual Save before starting with this. If anything goes wrong you can always reload and redo it.
1. Build 6 outposts on the same planet close to each other.
2. Fast travel to each Outpost, open the building Menu (use Scanner with LB/ F , press X / R) , RB / Z to switch to “Miscellaneous” category, pick “Cargo Link”. It costs 2 Beryllium + 12 Aluminium + 20 Iron + 2 Zero Wire. This is available from the beginning, it doesn’t require any skills or research projects.
3. Pick an empty spot and press A / E to build the Cargo Link. Do this in all 6 Outposts, each must have one Cargo Link. In total this will cost 12 Beryllium + 72 Aluminium + 120 Iron + 12 Zero Wire.
4. Climb up the Cargo Link, there is a terminal on it. Interact with the terminal and click which Outpost to link it to. When done correctly it will show a green “link” icon.
5. Link whichever Outposts it shows, e.g. Outpost 1 + Outpost 2 / Outpost 3 + Outpost 4 / Outpost 5 + Outpost 6. After linking 3 pairs of Outposts the achievement will unlock because you now have 5+ individual Outposts that each have a link to another. To clarify, you don’t interlink 5 Outposts in the same network, you always link separate pairs of 2 together.
Note that you will need 6 Outposts (not 5 as the achievement suggests) because they can only be linked in pairs. If you build only 5 outposts, your 5th Outpost won’t have a free Outpost to link with since 1+2 & 3+4 are already taken. So you need a 6th Outpost to link 5 + 6. Sometimes the game is a bit weird and doesn’t show all available Outposts for linking, if this happens keep building more Outposts nearby until you reach the limit and recheck what can be linked.
You don’t need to buy any specific skills for this (“Outpost Management” social skill is NOT required). No research projects are needed, everything you need is available from the start of the game. The Outposts can be completely empty, they don’t need any other buildings, just 1 Cargo Link each. They don’t need to trade any outgoing/incoming Resources.
To get enough Resources (12 Beryllium + 72 Aluminium + 120 Iron + 12 Zero Wire) simply buy them from merchants, e.g. from Jemison Mercantile.

F this! Not worth the points
How you make money from this though?
I think you can create a cargo link from multiple planets considering you can build almost 50 outposts with all the right skills leveled
I've noticed cities and towns also have cargo link terminals, what for?
I cannot link two outposts in different planes WTF. I built a cargo link on both and nothing
How to create cargo link?
Commentary would have helped…..
But the stupid thing is these are two-way links. I don't want to share all of the resources. I just want to send one type from one outpost to another
Why are you running everywhere??? And I linked 2 things. What’s up with the cargo ship?
this guy to lazy to talk ya through it, thumbs down bro!
There's an even better place to buy some resources, it's called "Outland". I've entered there for the first time after like 26 hours lol it's not obvious that is a shop, i thought it was a residential building.. and also you don't need to build all the cargo links in the same PLANET, but in the same SYSTEM. Then you have the other cargo link if you want to build and connect things outside that system.
The key is to put your OP's where you can harvest multiple resources, at least 2. Sometimes you can get lucky and find 3 in one spot.
