Unlimited building materials?

I know you can get food with the garden
And Ammo by training other people

But what about building materials? Do i have to rely on Lily's searching skills?

EDIT: is it worth to keep just 2 food outposts (so that you can have unlimited food with a garden) and make every other outpost a 'building material' one? so that i waste as few resources as possible?

Outposts only produce their resources IF you have building materials to support it. No building materials, no resources.

So you should always have several building materials outposts, so you always get resources.

I never bother with food outposts, the advanced garden should supply a small community. I usually go with a medicine, and materials. Sometimes I will keep a gas, or ammo outpost for a short time.

Will outpost run out eventually? I've read online that medicine outpost run out eventually so they can't provide unlimited medicine , while building materials / ammo stay forever

You are right actually, unless my population grows bigger i won't need food outposts anytime soon, i should focus on building materials and ammo probably.

I never had a medicine outpost run out of medicine. And I have a little over 1000 hours in the game.

But as for resources, unless you really drag it out, your not staying on one level, or game mode for that long that you run out of resources to collect.

The amount of building materials required depends on how long you plan on staying. When moving on, make sure you have at least 30 building materials.
