A new approach to an anarchy farm

Right. Even those of us with a carrier go there.
So what do we do when the Purple gang is in a war? Fight with anyone else but them? I just went into a settlement yesterday and did my first mat run, was going to do another one today but found everywhere purple gang is, is now a war zone.So please help us preserve anarchy in the galaxy by hitting the CD-51 2650 Purple Gang very hard, it's for their own good!

Fight for the anarchists on foot. Anyone who fights against them on foot risks flipping the settlement away from anarchy.
The actual outcome of the war itself is independent of the "who wins what settlements". It's possible to win a war while losing all your settlements, and vice versa. Sometimes people do this on purpose. Back when odyssey first launched, some of the anarchy PMFs deliberately lost all their foot settlements in the systems they controlled specifically to make their systems unattractive to material raiders. In other places, a few of us have been deliberately finding places where the anarchists are on 1% and pushing them up to grab the settlements but lose the main war in order to drop back to 1%. It's... a tricky thing to balance and predict when there's a lot of people involved all doing their own thing.
Sorry, that really didn't help. Do I fight against the Purple gang on foot, or all the other factions? Isn't the whole system anarchists? I thought that was why we didn't have to worry about repercussions, bounties and all that.
I went to a settlement that was controlled by the purple gang and cleared everyone out and took all the stuff. But now I wonder if that was the cause of them being in the current war they are in. I thought it was safe to do whatever we wanted to the purple gang.
The purple gang are the anarchists, yes. Fight for them in the wars if you do foot zones. Against everyone and anyone else.
We've only done this on small scale before and never gave the anarchists system control.
I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I think the best everyone can do to preserve farming is to fight on foot for the Purple gang at the settlements that you preferred to raid. Unfortunately I didn't have time to raid all the settlements, but I noticed that Penfold tourism was very generous with material drops. I got 140-150 assets when I did it. It's the same large layout as Mitchell resort in Iah Bulu. It was cool to have such a variety of settlements, but in the end I think it's the settlements that give the best mats that ought to be preserved. Unfortunately it's a low cz so won't give you much money, but on the other hand maybe a good settlement for people new to on foot cz. Another nice aspect about the settlement is that you can loot it while winning the cz for the purple. Even with a dominator suit you can pick up 10 graphene/optical lenses each run.
It doesn't really matter who wins the overall war and it seems unlikely that anyone could preserve the system status. But no matter how the overall goes, if the Purple gang has won more cz at Penfold tourism they will keep that settlement. If someone else found a settlement giving many mats, then maybe let us know and we can all fight just for the best rewarding settlements.

And again I find myself with eggs on the face.
Penfold tourism on 1c was having mats for looting when I played it last night, but so far today no loot.
So I have no idea what determines if there will be loot or not in a CZ. I thought it might be related to the CZ difficulty, the settlement layout/size, or maybe something else, but it seems to change at random. Another mystery to figure out.

I have never found a ground CZ with loot. 
I started noticing them a while ago, don't know if they're new or have been there all along.
If they're not in control, they lose the biggest lever to boost them.
I don't think it will need that much coordination, except perhaps to occasionally manage a conflict when they go into bust and generate reactivation missions. With that said, Thargoid reactivation missions are more profitable in terms of materials, and the financial rewards are generally low for Odyssey missions. Moreover, there are easier ways to get power regulators.
Just leaving the faction alone when it goes into bust will usually suffice - if its settlements are all shut down, I suspect the majority of players will just leave and find another system to raid. If you think there might be people trying to bring the faction out of bust and this is likely to trigger a conflict, you could fight for the other faction in orbital CZs and fight for the anarchy faction in the ground CZs. That maximises the probability that the anarchy will retain the ground bases, even if it loses the war. If I recall correctly, bases can change hands on each war tick, so you have time to react apart from the last tick.
One caveat to the above is that ground CZs can be more profitable than space CZs - an Odyssey HICZ will average 8-10mcr per instance, and you can easily do 5 CZs per hour, more if you're in a team. You'd need to be careful to balance the credits and CZ outcomes with those in space to make sure that you don't win by accident.

I seem to randomly collect E-breaches in conflict zones. Not sure how that happens!I have never found a ground CZ with loot.
They do supply you with grenades and probably medpacks when you do a CG, I didn't think they also did e-breaches but I wouldn't be surprised if the code that did it just pumped you up with whatever was on the list for the system.
Me too. Every ground CZ I've been in has had zero Ody mats to collect, but after it's completed my number of e-breaches incremented by 1.
I didn't quite understand it but presumed it was normal
I think all your consumables are stocked when you drop via Frontline. Using a Maverick I get 2 e-breaches everytime I do a CZ.Me too. Every ground CZ I've been in has had zero Ody mats to collect, but after it's completed my number of e-breaches incremented by 1.

you get one (1) e-breach as part of your frontline loadout. Back when the game first launched people were having problems with boarding ships and frontline shuttles after doing a lot of zones because their inventory got full and they went to the emergency boarding screen!
It's nice to see that the players appear to have decided to fight for the anarchy, 2-0 so far.
Maybe we'll see a system that flips between anarchy farm and war zone all the time.

So apparently the war ended while I was relogging at Kosiy Synthetics. I had been trying to do 3-5 CZs at each settlement for the Purple Gang. Do we have to wait for the tick to update settlement ownership, or did we really only lose one settlement?(Baldock, the only settlement we lost according to in game info, was ironically the next base on my list)
