[FlufflyBoo]

Not sure, I have ignored the outposts, waste of time tbh. This game wasnt made to build a big base and enjoy. It was made to grind over and over making bare min requirements to get the tasks done. That is why a lot of people feel outposts were just a tacked on after thought to catch a % of survival gamers to buy the game. You can not take anything to or from the outpost from other prospects or other outposts. Only items from the space station workshop that you unlock doing prospects. So what is on the map is what you get.

Oh and Op still needs to know if you can get ice in outpost???

Even in the Arctic outpost, where it's mostly snow, there is no ice on the ground to pickup. There is a way to get some in the Arctic outpost and that is to use a rain catcher. What it collects is ice, which the rain catcher then uses as fuel to convert it into water and you can just yank it out before it converts.

Forest outpost though, there is no ice and no way to collect any. Pretty much what Mile said is correct as far as bringing things to or from maps: you can't.

Outpost is another headscratcher in this game for me.
It seems so utterly useless the way they made it.
Since only so small area, and no access to many resources and mechanics.

Why did they not just make a plain sandbox mode, thats runs/saves only local, where you can go anywhere on the full map, where you can enable/disable animals and weather in the options at any time (checkbox for each species/wheather event).
And where you can, take any normal character, but don’t get any XP.
Or you can create “outpost only” character with choice of start level 0 and level up just like normal game, or start with max. Lvl/max. skillpoints unlocked, so you can play around/test with different skillsets.
Edit2: And the resources respawn when you log back in.

Seems so obvious, that i don’t get wtf they made what they did instead of that.

Edit:
OP, but don’t be sad, also in the normal/full game there are many missions, where you can’t get ice, because some A-hole decided to put the invisible “out of bounds” fence just in front of it.
I get that they want to keep you from using alternative routes, or exploiting other biomes for mission/gameplay reasons.
But that they place the fence in a way, so you can’t get any ice for the fing fridge is just cruel. Or not fully thought trough like so many other things in this.

Outposts were not tacked on to catch survival gamers. Outposts were tacked on as a direct response to people in Beta saying they just wanted to build with no timer, weather or dangerous wildlife. Literally exactly what they asked for. i dont blame the devs for making outposts small maps since unlocking the entire map to run around is something you have to do some work for.

I have played the forest biome one very shortly, I am not sure if their is ice in it. As for the snow biome most likeling it has ice. I answered his other aspect of the question about being able to take from other areas to the outpost. So I don't know what you going on about but make yourself look like an ignorant ass. So glad you feel you have to come at me to make your low self esteem ego feel better, quite pathetic. Especially since you yourself never added anything of constructive form to the answering of OPs question either. Just felt the need to attack someone else.

You are entitled to feel your way just like I feel my way about it. It is pointless to endlessly build on a map just to build in a game that does not really focus the core game play towards it. You get no missions or rewards other then "oh look at my shiny building". Experience is cut in half and the whole aspect seems pointless. Seeing is you can not take anything from this area.
