Where to find Culinary/Cocktail Recipes ?

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...) :cool:
Remembering that only the settlements belonging to the faction in CU would be affected. Maybe find a system with the Tourist Installations that pay out, then get busy 🥳
 
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?

Old thread I know.. but I had exactly the same problem.

I did ~ 1 month of Settlement Missions (4-6 hours a day) and found 1 Cocktail Recipes, after that I stopped playing ED .

If there is a new ED patch I am logging in again to check if it's possible to may trade them at the barkeepers , but had no luck in the last 3 months....

I would assume you did that in the same system and mostly in the same settlements.
I would advice to change that.

When i was in that position, i encountered the same issue when i was hitting mostly tourist settlement thinking that more hab data ports = more chances to get recipes.
Well, that proved to be false.
I got most my recipes (like 16 out of the first 20+)* hitting Extraction and Agri settlements. 🤷‍♂️


(it's a me thing, not a game thing, but when i see Colonia i dont ever think about the system Colonia but about the entire Colonia mini-bubble... so i sold my first 10 recipes in Tir 🤦‍♂️... so yea, had to get 10 more, but then again - they came rather fast when i stopped hitting touristic settlements)
 
This is something what ED excels at: search for something concrete and nothing except frustration, play without strict focusing and all those rarer mats are coming regularly.

Yesterday from five missions two recipes and that were locations with 1-2 hab ports max.

U11 introduced that for FC owners who can sell them but as of yet there's no in-game advertising for offers. There's also the exchange thread. I still have plenty to give away but I'm currently in the bubble (thinking of doing another trip 'up north' though so I might be in Colonia again soonish). If you're interested send me a PM.

Yes they can be traded, I have traded data from/to my main CMDR and alt no problem. Pity you are not in the bubble, I have about 30 of the recipes that are no use to me. And I keep finding them on missions, usually checking out the habs whilst on transport missions. Got faction associates spare too.
 
Note that at the moment it appears that all Odyssey engineer unlocks which involve selling data to Bartenders have been broken by Update 11
etc.

So even when you have 10 recipes now is not the best time to go and sell them.



(Furthermore, the bug reports are now in duplicate hell, and on top of that two of the above reports have been so mangled by the tracker that only their title remains, so the chances of any individual bug report being Confirmed is increasingly low. Remember that the purpose of the bug tracker is to ensure that the devs see as few bug reports as possible by discouraging engagement, and so you should treat "engineers can't be unlocked" as "working as intended" unless and until Frontier happen to accidentally fix it in a later patch.)
 
Inara has a new "Materials Trading" section (under Engineering), though it seems to be bugged at the moment (or EDMC is: something odd happening anyhow).

I'm in the Colonia region, and I bought 8 Manufacturing Instructions from the Carrier "Strawberry Fields" (the entire stock). Apparently there are still 8 for sale (nope), and the same Carrier has a buy-order for 10 (impossible, you can't have simultaneous buy and sell orders on the same commodity). I visited it with EDMC running, so it should have updated? It's moved since I visited, and the new location is on Inara, so a partial update has occurred.

Meanwhile it's refusing to display my own buy-orders. I'm up for buying 2 Manufacturing Instructions (I'm that close to unlocking Yi Shen), plus the data for two Audio Masking and three Night Vision mods (almost, I hit the danged 100-mats cap, I'll need more Surveillance Equipment). All prices at 1,000%. Carrier "Erebus" in the Eol Prou WI-W b17-11 system (between Colonia and Benzaiten). I have open docking permissions, the bar is open, I've refreshed EDMC multiple times... still invisible.

First time back in game in what... six months? Interested in the new engineer unlocks, and FINALLY making the trip to Colonia since I read there's been a bridge making it easier (Yay for trying to expand the sandbox, FDev, that's positive)

... but here I read that they are all broken, and you can't find the unlock mats out in Colonia?? Typical... and 100% why Elite only has a 5K average player base.
Stupid, stupid punitive and short sighted game design. Nobody likes treading the rat wheel once they realise they're on the rat wheel.

PS - I managed to unlock the engineer in Achenar today (Tiana Fortune) who requires ship salvage, so the issue is related to Odyssey data only.

PPS - Now I'm annoyed I sold 4 x Cat Media in the hopes of making incremental progress towards unlocking one of the engineers... But at least it was only 4 of them, not 25. Guess I'm going to hoard the rest of the otherwise pointless gomi for now.

Hold on the Odyssey Engineers unlocks - at least the ones that require selling materials to bartenders.
At least till they sort out the bug introduced in U11 along with carrier bartenders.

I'd really wish CM pop on the forums and at least let us know the bugs are acknowledged instead of we relying on the unreliable Issue Tracker.
 
You can get them randomly in any HAB data port, even in the bubble.

Just remember to sell them in Colonia.
Oh man I made that mistake big time, was sleepy and about to head and my brain read the requirement text of selling in Colonia as "Colonia, the region" insteasd of "Colonia, the system" and so I sold them all at Far Tauri and then I was like GFD!

Where to find the best recipes? That's the question...

Maybe read the thread in which your posted the question? the answer is literally on this very page, bit to the top.
Ok, i may as well quote some of the relevant posts (TL: DR hab data ports in Extraction and Agri settlements)

I did ~ 1 month of Settlement Missions (4-6 hours a day) and found 1 Cocktail Recipes, after that I stopped playing ED .
