These should be good for now, though obviously this will change:

The great Power Regulator grind - your options
- Thread starter Penumbra
- Start date
These should be good for now, though obviously this will change:
There are several ways to find power regulators.
Missions rewards (mission board or concourse mission givers).
Taking one from a powered up system. The small agri settlements are easy.
Salvage missions - find the crashed ship with two and do the relog dance.

Your answer is here. Learn How Support missions are generated and you will find out how to get the dreaded (not!) Power Regulators
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...
When I go to the galaxy map and uncheck everything but "post thargoid recovery" I get ZERO systems in that state.
issue i have barely played the game in the last 2 years. barely seen anything from odyssey.
so i reinstall the game. try to check youtube to find out what to do. i find this :
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJpam7ppYTg
seems nice because it avoids combat and i don't want to come back to the game and directly get into combat on foot
especially when having grade 1 ty suit, and all grade 1 weapons in game....
i check the video. seems interesting and looks like a good way to learn how to do stuff on foot and learn the various tools.
well. after 2 days trying to find a power regulator so i can try to do what is explained in the video, i'm nowhere in progress.
i go, from base to base, trying to find missions to go recover something on the ground. i don't find those missions. perhaps you have to fly around planets and look for such POIs ? No idea.
I want to play the game. Not spend a whole week going around forums, pages and pages of text, charts, of checking 100 hours of youtube videos to find out how to start playing on foot, and start grabbing materials for future engineering upgrades.
and because both all my suits and weapons are grade 1, i am very fearful of going into missions where there will be combat on foot
having no upgraded hardware, having never done any fighting on foot in the game == absolutely no experience about it
when you have been playing odyssey since it came out, and doing all those missions, going everywhere, and knowing the current state of the game, sure it must look easy.
get in the game after years not playing, not seeing anything of odyssey. most of the stuff people talk about is chinese to me : never seen, never done.
want to know how i died on foot ? was in a base, did put the weapon out. i had not idea how to put it back into holdster so i pressed escape to go look for what key that might be. well. looks like people around me just shot me and i woke up in some base far from where i was with a nice fine attached to the fronthead.
coming back to the game after barely playing the last expansion has been a very boring thing. i feel like a turkey who's head has been decapitated.

Check this post - every Thursday Aleks will make a similar post with the Thargoid war update.
The most important info in that post:
So Aowicha and Vistnero are the systems to go to for Restore Missions in PTR systems
Edit, The two systems above will be a good source of restore missions until the next tick happening during the Thursday morning maintenance.
After that, you should find the new systems that had invasions repelled and move there

Starting with G1 suits and weapons is not necessary. Check out this thread.

Deploying/stowing hand weapons depends on the key binds. Usually 1 = long arm, 2 = side arm.
Good advice, for non combat missions have an unarmed suit loadout.

The Great Pre-Upgraded Gear Sharing is Caring Thread
Fimblulwinter - Shatalov Landing G3 - Maverick - Empty Thnaks, I will fetch this. Buga PS: wasn't there any more

But how do you learn all the "on foot" part of the game ?
Since this morning I'm in the game. I am trying to find a mission that would sent me, for example, somehere by foot to recover stuff from a crashed ship.
I don't find those missions. I have not yet seen a "ship has crashed, go recover" missions.
The only missions I do see tell me I have to go somewhere, and either steal a computer or do something that will probably get people to start shooting at me.
There is a threat level, but I have no idea what it means. Latest mission was ranked 4. Can I go with nothing upgraded as suits/weapons and having no combat experience on foot and survive those ? I dont know. And because I don't know, I don't grab those missions.
How do you learn to do stuff "by foot" without getting killed quickly because you have upgraded nothing and have zero experience of that part of the game introduced by Odyssey ?
If there a "learning path" of stuff to do to learn without dying in loop ? From easiest to hardest ?
Looking for crashed ships seemed an interesting idea to me. But I don't find those missions. I need a taste of "on foot combat" where I can learn, and not get obliterated quickly.

It's a permanent learning process - but, generally speaking, knowing how missions are generated and the relation between BGS and mission types, would definitely help
However, unless you are really passionate about the game and have lots of time to invest in it - i wouldn't advise getting beyond the most basic priciples.
Most of the time it's just easier and faster to ask the forums - (and less the YT guides)
Also, ingame map filters are... buggy... most of the time... to put it mildly.
It's better to search on Inara for system states and things like that.
Well thanks everyone for the kind answers and the help. I am very frustrated and angry at the game right now. I am afraid it shows well too much in how I write ><
The best advice I can give you: Put whatever goal you need the power regulators for on the back burner and do some other activity the game offers. Fixating on one single problem and trying to grind it out is a sure fire way to quickly burn you out on the game (again).
also, what exactly are you trying to do, what do you need the PR for, and how many? It depends on how large your engineering wishlist is, but if you can't find any PRs as mission reward, go find a system with a nice anarchy faction that owns a few low sec assets and beat the crap out of it - or just beat the crap out of any faction in any system if you don't mind bounties and notoriety. Every settlement you raid has a free power regulator, and lots of other stuff too. Should supply you with a good stock of power regulators in no time.
If you travel to the Atroan System/Cayley Landing, the concourse mission boards are full of restore/reactivation missions, salvage, fetch and deliver to Odyssey settlements. A good place to do an assortment and gather materials. Bring a small ship with one or two SRV bays.
And larceny.
But buy an upgraded maverick suit.

Item 1) Land in the middle of nowhere and familiarise yourself with your kit and keybinds.
If you're getting killed because you don't know which buttons holster your weapon you need to figure that out first.
Item 2) Familiarise yourself with the various settlement layouts. Take some delivery missions, use Apex.
Item 3) get some G3 kit from Pioneer, There's a thread showing what Cmdrs have found, but you can go around the various ports yourself to see what's available.
