Engineers A single requirement for Didi Vatermann takes 33hrs to complete?

Slack

To unlock Didi, you must first get Tod Mcquinn, half way to lvl4, after you put in the time to find materials and meet his own requirements, he then unlocks Selene Jean. If you repeat the same time staking process of getting her half way to lvl4, she will then finally introduce you to Didi.

Now you might think the introduction to Didi took a darn long time, but thats nothing compared to Didi's 200 Brandy requirement, which can only be collected one a time at Lave. This Brandy will refresh roughly every ten minutes, so thats 200x10mins = 33hrs!! Lol? Now if this was some exciting sequence of missions, maybe a bit of combat or even some mining for 33hrs I'd still say thats way to long for a single task, but it would be somewhat bearable, but to sit in a station and wait for a resource to refresh for 33hrs? [woah] Is FD serious on this one?

I sure hope they are planning some community event that will increase how much Brandy is produced at this starport. Or equally hoping someone will tell me Im a dummy and there is a way to get this commodity in a reasonable amount of time that I simply wasnt aware of.

I do wonder about fd sometimes with things like this. People have said you can pirate this stuff from traders but that's not everyone's cup of tea and even for me I'm not keen due to the police strength and reaction.

Doing missions for the controlling faction seems to help. I too was only getting 1 or 2 for sale, but after a few (lots actually) missions I am now Allied and can get access to a whopping 4 Lavian Brandy. The side effect of all this is I also have a lot of rare goodies from mission rewards. Overall the 200 required is a pain, but for some reason I am still doing it?

Your point is very valid whether it is 33 hours or half that, but it would be 2 every 10 min by mode switching (open / solo).

to put some perspective on this though, I have had for much more than 17 play hours hunted for yttrium with no luck. My luck has been abysmal (on the known 3-2-1 yttrium planets, so right location is not issue). E.g. I've found yttrium and even crafted a few fsds, but I just went this entire weekend of play, about 22-23 hours of play from fri night to sun night, with zero yttrium

at least with the brandy it is guaranteed 2 every 10 min. Which sucks, but that just shows how bad my yttrium Xp has been, that I look at a guaranteed 17 hours of tedium as preferable.

Is it specifically Lavian Brandy? There might be other types of rare goods brandy around (not sure).

Thats interesting, so increasing your rep with that faction increases how much brandy they will sell you. Getting it to 4 at "allied" status isnt the greatest, but at least it will probably bring the time down to about 10-15hrs (including getting your rep to allied).

Thanks for the tip

Yes Yttrium can be a pain to find, but im sure there will be a material for Didi that will also be a pain to find. This 33hrs is just an extra on top of it all. And actually if it was locked at 1 every 10 mins it would take longer unless you were on top of it with a stop watch like a hawk. Im sure from the sheer boredom you will fall asleep on your keyboard, or are on youtube and forget about it for 20mins. All of which would add to the total time. Also switching between open/solo or "refreshing" as some call it, does not work.

Interestingly as someone mentioned that increasing rep will increase quantities they will sell you. However after doing 14 brandy purchases, one at a time, I was just now able to collect 2 at a time. And my rep with them has not changed, so wondering if it may increase just based on how many you buy instead of rep?
