A new video which is relative to this one, where I discuss keeping our Super Walmart:
New Super Walmart (Like Arai's Mine) to Farm On Foot Engineering Materials
- Thread starter Logan Terrick
- Start date
Nice. I wish I was good at these sorts of things to explain quickly how to make one of these farms.
Give me pretty much any backwater in the bubble and I'll scout out some good potential spots and be able to work out what needs to be done to flip them (some will need more work than others) but explaining the principles needed to come up with those plans would be a lot of content for people who just want a quick how-to.
The best way to keep it is to not publish it. I discovered three Super Walmart settlements about a year ago. Two are still unchanged because they were never published. The other was discovered by a content creator and published. It was trashed within a couple weeks. That creator did their best to explain how to keep it, just like you did.
Those who hear about these sites will go there until it's no longer viable, then move on. The farmers just farm, with no interest in combat. Those who combat them have no interest in farming.
I appreciate your videos on these sites, as I learned how to find my own sites by watching them. Unfortunately, such videos are only useful in the short term. Make a video showing people how to find their own, and you'll be helping for the long term.
Exactly my point. Please stop handing out fish.
I understand that, however, do you leave people without a place to farm materials at all in the meantime?
Basically I'm saying maybe you're best giving a man a fish so that he doesn't starve then teach him how to fish.
There are people who just don't want to learn how to fish or don't have time to go fishing. There is always going to be a need for the quick and simple answer, for some people.
As many have pointed out, these settlements are not that hard to find BUT there are still people who either don't have the time or don't want to find them for themselves.
For what it's worth, I've noticed that when you take assassination missions from "regular" factions, especially when it's not notified to avoid casualties, these missions often occur on anarchy controlled settlements, leading you to quite a bunch of interesting loot locations you may want to bookmark for further shopping, not far away from your current homeplate.
You can check that on the system map, tab "factions", look that if the settlement is owned by anarchy factions.
If you never visited said system before, Apex destination choice let you access that map anyway.
(That's why I have a good old paper notepad and a pen near the hotas.)

Continuing the fishing analogy, you can use a hook and bait or a trawl net, but too much fishing means no fish. Then the trawlers complain that their fishing place is now useless and simply move on, not really considering that they are the one that caused the problem.
Ideally, fish farms should be created and nurtured to allow sustainable fishing, but those that want to max out their loot haul are not interested, as many would state that they have limited game time to play and need to grab the mostest in the shortest possible time, with the least effort.
Keeping quiet the location an farms is essential to preserve them

I get the analogy but it doesn't really fit here. The materials don't run out, they are literally infinite. So CMDRs can 'fish' as much as they like, they are never going to run out.
CMDRs complain that the settlements are useless because they are no longer Anarchy, not because the materials have run out.
The fish analogy wise it would be more like trawlers complaining that fishing is now illegal where they were doing their fishing without issue previously.
Keeping quiet the location of farms is not essential to preserve them. Making sure the farms owners stay an Anarchy is essential to preserve them.
Never farmed an anarchy ever. Got everything I want upgraded. 
The more psychos that run the settlement, the better.
Every corpse produced imposes a fraction of -INF pressure on the faction.
This'll keep 'em down at 1.0% far below the conflict line of seven percent.
The problem begins when peeps start running missions for them.
They will, because they want to fix REP or get Materials... or troll the folks that run the settlement.

In the end that's how the game is supposed to work. 
I also create "anarchy farms" when I get a chance. Not to farm them, but I like the idea of Anarchy, it's good for the game, and it's something to do.
However I don't hang around to garden them.

Not quite... but close enough.
Yes, let people learn to think for themselves - it isn't hard to look around and find useful places for looting - provided one doesn't care about notoriety & bounties there are many, many, more Lawful settlements to plunder if there isn't the coward's choice anarchy locally.
I hit all settlements. I don't care about legalities. They cannot come inside my carrier and get me. Depending on what you're after, there are much better opportunities for high cost materials at other sites. Like ionized gas, you can sell those all day every day for 3.5m each. I know of a site that produces on average 7 of these per run. That's absurd compared to other sites. Compressed Liquified Gas is even more abundant. It's not uncommon to find 30+ million market price worth of materials in one container.

Ok so I farmed this location just a few times over a couple days then all of a sudden after a reset theres no power and no people...at EVERY Ti Wanjang Drug Empire site. Is it something I did? I cant find any "Restore power" missions. In fact ive NEVER seen one of these missions over the 2-3 weeks ive played, not once. Wondering if its about the systems im in or something. I know ive never seen one and look for them every time, that also includes Hidden Cache missions. If someone could help me with any of these questions id be greatly appreciative
Reactivations will be in the Support section of the mission board when a minor faction's in bust or infrastructure failure state. (Or the system's in post-Thargoid recovery)
Ti Wanjang Drug Empire just took a dive in influence so I suspect they'll be going bust soon, check again tomorrow they may have reactivation jobs for you.
As for whether it's something you did...ehhhhh maybe
I once shut down a favourite farming settlement so many times it not only sent the faction bust, but that particular settlement remained offline afterwards, for months. 
I was convinced I'd permanently broken it but thankfully it came back eventually! A general tip for finding somewhere farmable, just check for combat missions which aren't marked illegal, they'll always send you to an anarchy settlement where you can loot and murder with impunity.
Reactivation/restore missions are great too, you'll maybe have a few scavs to deal with but generally super chill.I mean, when I set up Ti Wanjang to be that way with all the settlements flipped to anarchy, I did the same thing to a bunch of settlements in nearby Guanangu. I recently did the same thing in Huaich. These systems aren't unique or uncommon, if it's shut down then just go hit up another one.
Or just do what I do and go rank 5 delaine and farm in any exploited system you like.

Nice. One thing you left out is that you can win settlements for the anarchists while losing the overall war, by ensuring you fight space battles to counter the victories you give them on the ground. At least 1 space victory for every 2 equal-intensity foot victories, though more is obviously safer. That makes cleanup a lot easier as it'll often dump the anarchists straight below 7%.I wrote a steam guide on it
