How to unlock the Industrialist achievement in Starfield - Definitive Guide
Fastest way to do this will be to build Extractors to mine resources for you while you are playing the game.
Make sure you build your outpost on a resource vein (use scanner to check if you are over one) then place your outpost.
Build an extractor for the resource you are mining. Make sure you build a power source in your outpost as the extractor requires 5 power to run.
Connect the extractor to a storage container so you don't have to come back and gather the resources every time it is full. Make sure to connect the extractor to the storage container.
I had two extractors connected to a storage container and it filled up the storage container with about 120 lead in about an hour. If all you care about is the achievement simply take the resource out of the container when it is full and drop it on the ground. If you want to save the resource build a transfer container & a landing pad and you can transfer the resources from your container to your ship.
Once the extractors have farmed 500 resources the achievement will unlock. Mine unlocked while I was doing other things.

I just know I’ll place one on a random planet and forget where it is, lol
On your map, you will see a little bunker looking icon. That is a planet where your Outpost is. You'll also see this at the solar system level.

Is there a way to show where it is?

Purchase Resources From
Jemison Mercantile (New Atlantis), Trade Authority (The Well), UC Distrubution Center (Commercial District), and Outland (Commercial District)On Jemison-New Atlantis
Create A Outpost North Of New Atlantis, Still On Jemison By Science Outpost, the Science Outpost will be a landmark landing site on the planet to fast travel to, from the landing site you will be directly in position of creating an outpost with the water resource available to extract
Build In Order
Solar Array
Aluminum: x4
Copper: x3
Beryllium: x2
Extractor-Water
Aluminum: x3
Nickel: x4
Iron: x3
Storage-Liquid x3
Aluminum: x18
Nickel: x15
Adaptive Frame: x9
Next create cargo links from your Water Extractor to your liquid storages, then continue to play the game the way you want as it produces for you, you may have to travel back to the Outpost to empty out your liquid storage from time to time, or just build more liquid storage, if you need extra materials, travel back to the stores mentioned above after resting or waiting 48 hrs, This was by far the earliest and easiest way to knock this achievement out.

Don't forget to link the Extractor to the Storage or it'll stop at 20. because there's no storage room.

Place some extractors down and a bench next to your storages that the extractors will send resources too. Keep waiting 24 hours and taking the resources out of the storages so they can get full again and the achievement should proc quickly.
While this might sound like a bit of a pain in the arse, the “Industrialist” achievement is incredibly easy if you know what you’re doing. That’s where we come in.
To “produce” 500 total resources, you basically need to set up an Outpost with a mining operation and then just let it do its thing. We’ve created multiple in-depth guides on how to do this very thing. Just follow them to the letter and you’ll not only get the “Industrialist” achievement in no time whatsoever, you’ll also have the materials and resources needed to create the ultimate Outpost.
Those 3 guides are as follows (you’ll only need to use 1, but they all offer different perspectives and options for you):
