Material Farming
Odyssey introduced three categories of materials. Assets, Goods, and Data. Unlike space materials these have limited storage of 1000 for each category, so it's best to only keep what is necessary.
Assets
These are the only Odyssey materials that can be traded for others at the bartender.
Some keepers are:
- Aerogel
- Carbon Fiber Plating
- Chemical Superbase
- Graphene
- Optical Fiber
- Micro Electrode
- Titanium Plating
- Tungsten Carbide
- Weapon Components
These materials are found on all settlements, but especially prevalent on Industrial and Military settlements, HAB, EXT buildings.
Goods
These are going to be broken down into schematics, and other goods.
I recommend visiting industrial or mining settlements owned by an anarchy faction such as Brothers of Kazatobi or Pai Shihil Jet Society. This will ensure that you can loot freely without worrying about bounties.
Power Regulators
Power regulars can be taken from any settlement but the best way is to do reactivate power missions and then abandon the mission. You will keep the power regulator. Look for systems in Infrastructure Failure or Bust to find reactivate missions.
Push
You can find Push from larceny missions and Irregular Markers.
Suit Schematics
Suit schematics are gotten from storage lockers on settlements. You can find these inside CMD, IND, EXT, and POW buildings.
Weapon Schematics
These are best farmed by visiting Irregular Markers on planets. You can find these on anarchy settlements, or through mission terminals. Larceny missions will spawn Irregular Markers on a planet. You do not need a DSS (Surface scanner) to find it.
Land on the planet and you should see 3 storage containers. It's important to not loot the mission item or you won't be able to return. Once you've looted all the weapon schematics, exit to desktop and repeat. These missions will sometimes spawn pirates so always stay alert! You can easily deal with them by running them over with an SRV or your ship.
Data
Cocktail Recipies
These are looted from HAB buildings.
Digital Designs
These are looted from HAB buildings and mission rewards.
Faction Associates
These are looted from HAB buildings.
Financial Projections
Located in HAB and AGRI buildings, look for these in tourist beacons and agricultural settlements.
Manufacturing Instructions
Look for Impact Site in systems with war state. It will look like a crashed satellite with a data port. Alternatively you can look for ground missions called "Salvage pull X from wreckage". Go to the Impact site, download the data, and exit to desktop. Repeat as many times as you want. Watch out for pirates that spawn randomly.
Opinion Polls
As with other farming methods, anarchy factions make the best places to repeat farm. This time you'll want to find an anarchy controlled tourist beacon. Opinion polls are only found in HAB buildings.
