Where to find Culinary/Cocktail Recipes ?

[HCGxKaLiBeR]

Why not just meet the other commander and exchange materials?

I didn't know player can trade things in ED. Until you mentioned, and I googled.
I just learned player can drop stuff on the ground. Seems a little buggy.
Also don't know data material type can be dropped. The online forums aren't being very clear about it.

I will test some stuff next time I play..

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

I go with simple straightforward ones mostly: Gin Tonic, Margarita, Tequila Sunrise and above all: Mojito!

 

[Wlfric]

Curious - I've been in Colonia since Odyssey released, and have found 20 so far.
(Yes, when they allow it, I'll put the spare ten up for sale on my carrier)

It has to do with RNGesus. He blesses some, curses others. It's crazy random.

It can all be dropped and picked up by someone else. They are going to add selling mats to Fleet Carriers soon (you'll be able to sell them to other players), so it's not a bug, it's an official feature.

Not a bug. All of the Odyssey materials can be dropped and in multiples as well. If you are in a maverick suit backpack, it will hold 10 data. You could transfer say 10 opinion polls (or 5 Opinion Polls + 5 Smear Campaign plans etc), disembark from your ship SRV and stand in front of another CMDR. Using the wheel, select the backpack, then the item, and then drop. The other CMDR will see the item and when his blue dot is on it, can select the pick up option, just like when looting. Be careful, different suits have different capacities for materials. If you pick up more than the suit can hold, they are lost. So, back to the 'blue zone', transfer to ship/srv inventory to empty the backpack and back to carry on the exchange.

I believe that it may be possible to drop ship engineering materials when in space for someone else to pick up. Never tried that though.

I'm trying to unlock all the suit engineers in Colonia before I head back to the bubble but this is getting very frustrating.

According to INARA, it isn't available from mission material reward, though it should be at the data ports in the HAB buildings.
So I've murdered the all settlements in an Anarchy system next to Colonia. None of the data ports dropped the recipes.

My questions... Do they even drop around Colonia? What is the best spot to get these stuff around Colonia?

I had a hard time finding them in Touristic settlements.
But then i did found them in Hab Data ports in Agri, Extraction and Industrial settlements

And i got mine mostly in Colonia

 

[SteveWW57]

There are more, but I really just want to get the required materials and be done with it.
Most of my ships are in bubble. Colonia has nothing I need to do besides unlocking the engineers since I spent two weeks getting here.
(I know I can hitch a ride on a carrier, which I will do on the way back. There aren't a lot of scheduled departures on Discord as far as I can see though)

My alt CMDR is out in Colonia with a Fleet Carrier. Came to unlock the engineers and do some modifications. Returning to the bubble at the back end of January. You are welcome to ride along. Based on the outward journey, two days to get back to the bubble.

Still have recipes to get rid of.

Its getting old.

• Massacre minor thugs factions is fun. But most of the time the settlement is empty due to status or bugs.
• Massacre major factions gets bounties, if not in Anarchy I get notorieties which I have to wait it out.
• I think killing major faction guard don't gain Mercenary rank, a little waste imo.

Perhaps visiting without murdering (restore & prepare missions are very useful) and obviously not in anarchy controlled settlements (as you may have reached the conclusion that they are a poor choice by now) might increase your chances of finding more.

Notoriety is a minor inconvenience, but even if you had hit notoriety 10 when heading back to the bubble, it would be worn off by the time you arrived (or not if you were using the Neutron Highway) or be even less of an inconvenience as the factions that exist in Colonia do not exist in the bubble.

 

[Ian Doncaster]

as the factions that exist in Colonia do not exist in the bubble.

With two exceptions (or three if you define the edge of the bubble very broadly)

Go on, now I'm curious! Which are those, Ian? (I imagine Colonia Council may be one?)

 

[Ian Doncaster]

I thought of a couple more if you really stretch the definitions...

Unambiguously: Kumo Council and Sirius Industrial are bubble factions which are still hanging on for now at Delaine Terminus [1].

If you define the bubble very loosely: Colonia Council and People of Colonia are both present as far out from Colonia as the old Hilary Depot highway station at Blu Thua AI-A c14-10, which is 2100 LY from Sol and so not within the "connectivity" definition [2] of the bubble but well within the 7500 LY radius defined by the later bubble-sourced outposts (Crab, Eagle, Heart and Soul, etc.) which Rohini just sits outside.

If you also define Colonia very loosely: Brewer Logistics is present at all the CB megaships. CB-1 at 335 LY from Sol is closer than some systems which are part of the bubble under the connectivity definition (e.g. the Pleiades) though doesn't meet that definition itself. Meanwhile CB-56 is well within visual range of the Colonia nebula which is my working "do I need to think about this?" definition.

[1] Interestingly, Sirius Industrial has managed to hold on here rather better than they have at most of the other Kumo stations! The political situation in Colonia has changed a bit since their arrival, too, which makes an invasion to knock them out unlikely for now.
[2] Two systems are connected if you can in theory expand a BGS faction from one to the other given sufficient time (and for simplicity ignoring permit and other political locks that would normally prevent it, so just considering the 30LY extended cubes); the bubble is the set of systems connected to Sol. This was joined to the Pleiades cluster by Sirius just before the first Thargoid skirmishes.

I stumbled on a cocktail yesterday. In a hab port. And I even didn't get the whole base on my *ss for dl-ing it!

So, you didn't ring their bell? That's good, as once a bell has been rung, it cannot be un-rung to stop the hordes of guards descending on you.

No it didn't There was no sign dl-ing is illegal. And did it with 3 fans drooling in my neck. So it seems to be a legit resource grab. Though I never fully trust the "nothing illegal." I've been excuted on the spot a few times, being quite sure I had no contraband with me.
And come to think of it. What an awesome futuristic game mechanic: having to risk your life stealing stuff you could buy 1000 years ago at any DIY shops.... Epoxy glue, circuit boards, iron wire.. For 5 credits each, buy 5 pay only 4....

If it has a bell, the alarm will go off, if not, then you are free to download with no consequences.

Haha yes.

It's been a while but I found all I needed a few months back in relatively short time. If there's one available - hit up a tourist system with power restore missions (i.e. civil unrest). [Inara is a good place to find this out] You want a settlement that has the 5 hab buildings with the bar in the middle and the power station on the other side of the pad - that gives you 6 hab ports with 2-3 data each all really close to each other [NOT the tourist settlements with the long road from one end to the other as they only have 1 or 2 hab ports and take ages].

If there isn't such a system in that state, then go do something else until there is, or just keep plodding along

I found I could pick up a bunch by grabbing restore mission, power up base (killing scavengers as a bonus) scan all the data points. Then either complete mission and redo or even faster go and steal back the power thingy, fly away 50km go back and do it all again (saves time). Its a bit of an RNG grind (shocker there) but I collected a bunch, plus if you haven't got opinion polls or whatever the other ones are (I forget now) you'll probably fill up on them too.... Didn't take that long (an hour?) but I was lucky to find a tourist system that needed bases powering up (go me!)

 

[Sinister Hedgehog]

If you're already in colonia then you may have less luck as there's not that much choice, you could: wait for tourist system to get into this state, do other stuff and pick up opportunistically, buckyball back to bubble and get them there or help force a local system into civil unrest (he said sinisterly...)
