I'm just a player here, not a GM or a dev but i strongly suggest don't worry about gathering those materials yet. We are expecting an update that will fix the bugged bases problem and until then we've been advised not to even buy the Outpost construction site. The server-wide message i saw was to not buy any of the larger bases until the update and it said specifically "no Outpost".
My gang got an Outpost too (prior to message) and we're not even working there until after the update because it is not certain how the update will affect it - don't want to lose a bunch of work, y'know?
But that's okay because there is so much other work to be done outside of buying bases - we'll all be very busy i think for at least several months of this new challenging season *cough*blueprints!*cough*.
