Hi all, I’m quite new to Odyssey and am struggling to find manufacturing instructions, i watched a couple of YouTube videos which pointed me to impact sites and scanning the data terminal and then re logging but the re logging doesnt seem to refresh the data terminal for me, any suggestions would be really useful, thanks
Manufacturing Instructions
- Thread starter Meadows65
- Start date
Relogging works only if you have a mission in that POI (to pick up stuff from satellites)
Refer to this post:
Manufacturing Instructions
I realise this may well be just me and the RNG having a row again but... ... is anyone else noticing a vertitable dearth dearth of these lately? From both data ports and missions?

You can relog to desktop for non mission POIs, might have to deal with scavs every time though.
It's also a mission reward.

If you don't need dozens instructions ASAP I would recommend maxing rep in any system and...hunt for missions with good rewards, that's all.
Actually, mission rewards are my main source of data. With missions from NPCs you can use negotations, what can even double possible reward
Possible effect of good negotiations

Ya but sometimes you just NEED. It's just the way of things.

btw OP, if you are going to do the relog loop (I'm not advocating doing it or not doing it, just saying) you should only have to quit to the menu. relogging from desktop takes f o r e v e r
If you have to go all the way to the desktop there's something else going on.. And relogging works for mission sites, so you have to take the right mission, the big round satellite not the one with wings (discussed in the link above if I remember the thread properly). The big round ones also occasionally spawn working power regulators, which is why you always check your contacts menu.
Relogging often brings scavs, just GTA their backsides. I can bowling pin 6 at a time when they drop from the dropship. Takes seconds. They fly far sometimes. Fun times.
If there's 2 or 3 of the same mission types I'll take them all, not so much to be "greedy" but crash sites can be on very rough terrain and that just makes relogging not worth it. I'd finish the mission on the rough site and go to the next hoping it's more GTA friendly (smoother terrain).
When you start the instance, wait a couple seconds for scavs to spawn, if they do, run them down (or kill them on foot for if you'd rather but it takes time). When the drop ship comes in, time it so you hit the drop point the same time the dropping scavs do, take them out, look at your contacts to see if the power reg is any good, exit the SRV, check the datapoint, get back in the SRV, back up a ways and relog to menu. In and out of there as fast as possible. I've collected 40+ MIs in less than 2 hours on rather generous datapoint spawns. If you aren't seeing very many MI spawns, head off to the next crash site.. Maybe the RNG God is kinder there.
Would suggest taking missions along the way that have rewards for difficult things like MIs whether you feel like you currently need them or not to delay having to do these types of relog loops. I don't think anyone enjoys this but until FD figures out a way around this, we are stuck. Doing missions is best and trying to avoid running out of things in the first place. Personally not so patient myself, but I DO regularly and often collect mats/data from missions and settlements even if I'm not doing any upgrades currently. Just sell off the surplus if you feel like you have too many..
Things aren't perfect, but the nice thing is there's numerous different ways of getting what you want for what you feel you need and how you get there is totally up to you..
Good luck...

what the mission is this with such rewards? I'm usually offered 100-300кIf you don't need dozens instructions ASAP I would recommend maxing rep in any system and...hunt for missions with good rewards, that's all.

If I remember it was single kill, but in quite difficult settlement layout (some military), also target was in 1 room with 3/4 other guards.
can you remember the system? I never saw rewards for solo on-foot missions above 500k
Farming mats for ships is easy compared to Odyssey mats...it's like if they specificaly designed this so you can't engineer your stuff lol
And unfortunately it's not like you can get all you need doing your regular activities...been doing a lot of stuff and I still have 0 units of a lot of the required mats...

The other day I picked up 30+ MIs as mission rewards in an hour or two.. I suppose the RNG smiled at me, but still it's really not that hard. On my new alt I'm getting a suit/weapon upgrade, a module, or an engineer unlock every 4-5 hours of gameplay. Not sure that I'd consider that very ardous...
