I Need Manufacturing Instructions

CMDR Golden-Knight went to the bar. "Hey, barkeep," he asked firmly, "I need Manufacturing Instructions, but all I could find are all these pop-culture references and pictures of dumb animals. Is there anything I can do with this CRAP?"

The bartender shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Sorry, sir, I'm afraid you're just wasting hard drive space."

He slammed his fist into the table! "COME ON!" After that huff of frustration, he regained some semblance of cool as he requested, "Can I at least get a Corporate Cola while I'm here?"

"Hate to say this, given the bad luck you're having, but we're fresh out."

"Are you SERIOUS?!"
 
Holy Jesus, I found the jackpot! And with all the grind so far, it was well earned.

So, question...how many of these does it cost to go from G3 to G4, and how many from G4 to G5? I know it takes 6 grand total to go from G1 to G3 (assuming you don't find a merchant shortcut at any of the stations).

Add upgrade to crafting list, select initial grade and target grade.
 
While we're on the subject, I was looking around Liz Ryder's home for Push (because Engineer), and uh...I had no luck.

I tried going to one of the Settlements, but felt bad since I was allied with them and they came up green on my HUD. I know it's supposed to be a lawless system, but it sure didn't FEEL like one.
 
Do they look like the containers in my screenshot above? Or is it something different? Because I have yet to find anything more exciting than what I showed.

Find Irregular Markers, threat 2 or 3, in Anarchy systems


They should look like a site with 2-3 containers, an energy plug, some crates with passwords (bring some e-breaches, you can also get them from anarchy ports)
There will be either guards on site, or there will be a deployment while you fool around. Then 1-2 more waves.

Here’s a video I found (not mine)

basically, it has to say (Threat x) where x is 1-4 or 5 I think. That means it’s Odyssey content. No threat designation, it’s just Horizons content which is less interesting.

Ten manufacturing instructions to go from G3 to 4; and 15 of them to go from G4 to 5.

I'm finding a number of missions - mostly "restore the power" and "retrieve the ... from the crash site" that are giving manufacturing instructions as part of the mission reward; between 2 and 4 at a time which helps.

Sure, it helps, but a mission takes how much time?

Fair point, but it keeps me happy as I'm getting to play the game rather than obsessing over one item and able to collect a tonne more mats during the mission; e.g. the last mission I went on gave me 10 x Graphene, 8x Optical lenses and 6 x Ionised gas; all of which I needed for upgrades.
 
He covers a lot. Interesting that he didn't cover the drilling bases, which I've found to be way faster than IND for quite a few mats, in particular plating, tungsten, gas (and a ton of other stuff, including a HAB full of loot).

But that's what I'm enjoying about Odyssey now it's live... the stuff we did in alpha isn't he only thing we can do now. Lots of other options.

10 - 15 minutes? Depending on the mission type you can pick up a lot of the other, tradable materials too.

Are Manufacturing Instructions still possible to download from datapoints in IND buildings? I hope so and if not they should be pinned there. I've worked my way into a building like this a couple of times, no mission, at no little risk to myself or the worker who unfortunately had to die .. only to find data I'm not looking for. I'm not keen on Impact Sites R Us forever and it's not easy to get into Security 3 places to switch the alarms off, so I think some software should be predictably pinned to the data port type.

Power regulators .. rather than abandonning missions for them I've just been stealing mine.
 
Missions are still faster way of getting them than some dodgy ways. Also you get all the other stuff you need as well.

You can get 5 from a single mission from the reward alone. I have so many of them I even have spares out despite 1 suit and 2 weapons at G5.

I have yet to see a mission giving manufacturing instructions, where do these occur.
 
if any of u guys want some. i trade them on a 1:2 ratio for Financial Reports (the thing u need for that one ingeneer), i also trade "push" (or was it "hush"?) if u want.
