Overview[]
Outposts are permanent settlements available to Prospectors. They offer a more permanent Icarus experience, while still enabling Prospectors to practice the skills needed to thrive during more dangerous encounters. Located in the Arctic or Forest Biomes, Outposts constitute 1 square kilometer of space. The Outposts are situated in relatively benign environments, where Prospectors will face few dangers from the moon's usually violent Storms and Fauna (this has largely been replaced by the Open World game mode).
The Arcwood outpost is available in the base game while the others are paid Downloadable Content (DLC).

Originally Outposts were the only maps that were persistent, where Prospectors could build bases without them being lost when leaving the Outpost and returning to orbit. Later, the Open World game mode was introduced which allowed persistent bases on all main maps in addition to Outposts.
