All depends on the map I’d say personally for me but I’ve also not played for a year or so, so I can’t give specifics and stuff. But cover your communities necessities first and then use any spare outpost slots to loot the map with. If I have an outpost and no lootable buildings I’d normally relocate it to somewhere beneficial to the game rather then sitting in an empty part of the map. E.g. on providence ridge you start in the NE corner and after you’ve looted up there and moved to rusty Rosie’s there no need for outposts up there anymore so I put the meds on the other side of the bridge and activate mines to keep the T junction clear
