Finding settlements that are powered down

No, not to my knowledge. I've seen multiple negative states in the same systems and there didn't seem to be any determinable logic behind which settlements were powered down and which settlements were still operational. Even then the Restore/Reactivation don't provide a comprehensive list either as there's a maximum of 4 active missions per faction (and that might even be different missions to the same settlement).
Finding the exact settlements? no, but systems in Bust state, and a lot of the Anarchy systems are currrently in Bust. Hit the nearest station and look for support missions.
Settlements states are dependent on faction states/BGS and other factors. Any settlement can be in any of the predefined states, so afaik it's not in any way a permanent feature of a particular settlement. Any settlement that is a property of a faction currently in one of the negatives states could became "disabled". That's why it's not a good idea to leave your commander in Odyssey settlements - logging out from a peaceful oasis you can find you commander in a middle of a scavs raid party or a combat zone upon logging back. I have't heard about 3rd party tools that do record real time data of the current states for the particular settlements
Ive never understood folks reliance on third party tools
never have never will.Its an exploration game but heres a hint, filter the map by infrastructure failure

No problem if you don't use any of course, but it's not really that hard to understand when the majority of the information is hidden or hard to retrieve and only available to third party initiatives either through analysing local journals or sending information through the API. Lacking a substantial number of quality of life features doesn't make it an exploration game.Ive never understood folks reliance on third party tools

The requirement for a specific settlement is a bit weird.

Well obviously people just like building websites and databases for no reason at all to cover features that aren’t missing. Game developers create APIs and logs for these same reasons. We all enjoy doing it exactly the same way you do with no capability beyond and these tools exist solely to confound you.
Now you can understand.

Guide / Tutorial - No, Support Missions are not missing
Support missions (Restore Power) require: a faction with a Negative state (see below), and that faction owns an Odyssey Settlement that is offline (because of the negative state), and the missions only spawn from the faction that owns the settlement, and the missions normally will only spawn...
Hey im in awe of the clever folks that build these websites i just love working things out for myself, always have, guess im in a minority

I have got out and turned the power on at a few of these before just turning around and leaving again. I used to loot them when I did so but the last few times I just took a few things that were on my way.
are you sure you attached the correct video? It does not answer my question.
Your question has already been answered, there is no tool.
You will need missions to find powered down settlements as any data tool would be inaccurate.
If i go and power down a settlement how would a program know, likewise if i restored one?
The powered down mechanic as far as i know is just mainly for missions.

I'm not aware of any indication that a settlement might be powered off.
Nor of any tool that might be able to extract such info from player logs.
Even if a faction is hit by a state that will lead to its settlements being powered off, not all their settlements will be powered off.
However, one can look at the mission board and identify the settlements targeted by restore missions or by procurement or other type of missions that will require to pick up something or download something or to kill scavs at a shut down settlement
I do believe those settlements will maintain their shut down state at least for the duration of the current BGS tick - if not for the full duration of the state that lead to the shutdown, at least for the people visiting such settlements in Solo/PG
If visiting in Open there might be a chance to instance with someone that just Powered on the settlement, but as soon that everyone gets back to supercruise, the instance will reset and the settlement will appear shut down again.
If you check a settlement in the Nav Panel it will show you if it's in a state, it doesn't guarantee it's shut down either. But it does give you slighter better detail than just the faction being in a state.
Well, it shows what faction owns the settlement and the state of the faction (not the state of the settlement)
I had a faction massacre mission a couple of days ago. The target faction only had 2 settlements and I picked the high tech one since I'm after ionised gas as well. Got there and it was shut down (no lights, no NPCs, windows shuttered). Going to the factions other settlement on the same moon gave a normal up and running settlement with NPCs to kill.
So for me, if you don't have a settlement restore mission, it's a case of wait and see when you get there.

Try this help guide - it's what I use to find such missions - link:
No, Support Missions are not missing
If you want the missions, follow the guide help to use whatever external site tools to search for them.
Do the same if you don't want the missions; just go to the system. check out missions in the terminal, note the name then go to the settlement without taking the mission.
