Finding a small Anarchy hi-tech settlement can be good as well. With the right RNG, the alarm panel will be inside the power building, so you can steal the regulator with almost no resistance. Once you find a good spot, the only trouble is that you're kneecapping the local anarchy faction.
The chance to spawn a power regulator is about 1%. Sometimes this percentage increases. It's still better than nothing and nice find, Astro! Forgot that SRV has the possibility to "look" inside, because of the special sensor the SRV has, how could I forgot this? 😆 This is grind changer because before you needed to get off ship, cut the panels and see if the regulator is or is not depleted. Really nice find! 😘
If you can land close enough, ship sensors pick up power regulators and other Odyssey stuff, too. But you have to get in really close, 40 meters or so, which makes it hard to do in medium and large ships. But SRV is the best way to scout the area during assassination or settlement raid missions - see who's who and where, find the mission target, prioritize those pesky snipers during raids, change position quickly around the settlement etc. I rarely engage in SRV combat and just use it like a Humvee to get around and as a convenient resupply spot.
I'd like to note out that distress beacons with landed Eagles and Sidewinders have a much, much higher chance of spawning a good power regulator than crashed ships and satellites. On average I manage to get one working power regulator per 3 relogs in a distress beacon POI. Also, you don't even need to go out in the SRV - if you can land close enough (40 meters or so), the power regulators show up on ship sensors, too.
There is a 3. Way off doing it. When you accept a mission, where you have too kill all members off a settlement, you can grab the power regulator, when you finished killing. I always take the power building last, and then shut the power turbine off. Then you can ether wait, ore get your SRV, and drive up too the power building. Run in too the turbine, and stand were the doors are, so you keep the doors open. When the turbine locks down, take the power regulator, and power on the last doors too get out.
or you could betray a faction by accepting restore mission and just abandoning them and then you pay the fine and repeat until there are no more missions instant 20+ regulators if you're lucky
I killed two birds with one stone by using the second method while I was unlocking the Odyssey engineer requires that you be Unfriendly with the Sirius Corp.
It was very strange unlocking that engineer. Beck took me days and days to get the 60 necessary items (back when it was 20 of EACH), but then getting unfriendly took like 10 minutes of abandoning missions.
Also... do not just look for the state of system that Astro mentioned... Add these to your filter... War Civil Unrest Civil War Bust Famine All of them have quite high potential to spawn "Power On" missions. Sometimes you might have to investigate 3-4 of them until you get a possitive result. But, most of the times, for me, it has been 1-2 systems and then you are golden.
Dainayiman has 5 anarchy settlements with power restore missions right now. The Bust should end very soon - check Inara for the Dainayiman Blue Council's current state.
If this was a realistic method when the video was made, I'm wondering if Frontier clamped down or something since. I wouldn't blame them, either - if developers have a mind to suppress the "shortcut" mentality in their player base, it's their prerogative. I'm aware that other materials are easier to acquire using the same technique e.g. manufacturing instructions. Anyway I acquired one functional power regulator in 40 minutes. Every time I re-logged back into the game I lost a little bit of my E.D. soul in the process. I'm now thinking that it would just be better to play the game full integrity.
This reminds me of the last time I played ED, last June. I took a mission to collecting something from a crashed ship. There were NPC's there guarding whatever it was. I couldn't touch them. Respawned half a dozen times, but nothing I had scratched them. Hit them with every bit of ammo I had - over and over again - but nothing damaged them. Yet, a single hit from an NPC and I was dead immediately. Great fun, for someone, I guess.
there is another way, you must do it in a wing/team, each takes one restore mission, do the mission in team, finish it, the one that has the mission has to leave, jump to supercruise, then the other player takes the PR that his mate left, is legal, no bounties, no mission fail, if both take simillar mission you can farm PR and have fun to, but beware there is a possibility that npc will drop on you once the base is power off, so get into your srv fast and leave. the other player must not come back till both are in supercruise. thx to cmrd mad bastrd and shaurin.
Method 1- Doesn't seem to work - at all. Trying for 2 hours not a single power regulator - always degraded. - and high chance of enemy troops spawning if you try now Method 2 - works, but the moment you take one of those power up missions it removes them all and you have to go to another system - plus the bounty bug means you cant PAY the fine.. After about 4 hours trying all i have to show is a single power regulator. Apparently fdev REALLY doesn't want people farming these for some absurd reason.
I had a problem finding the salvage missions - these can be found when you disembark and walk into a station and go to the terminal from there. Apparently these cannot be accessed from the ship menu directly because of Odyssey
The issue with the crashed site that after 2-3 reloads it will spawn the scavengers, sometimes with 3,4 reinforcements... I mean its working but can be tedious to clean them all out before looting...
I have been watching your channel for couple of years but unfortunately I'm a console player and Elite stopped supporting the game on consoles. Thank you!
I don’t get it!!! I have just arrived at exactly the same station and only get support missions. Anyone tell me why that is please? I’m allied to the controlling faction too.
Yes. Dainayiman has 5 anarchy bases in Power Restore state right now and the faction is in Bust. (Due to change any minute as people have been doing the restore missions non-stop.)
@Pastiss Richard Why grinding? Grinding is a state of mind. Do never forget that. It is up to YOU, YOURSELF, to grind or not. I play the game as I enjoy it and just recently got ONE of my weapons to G5 as well as fully engineered. ONE. And I am not complaining, because I play the game not GRINDING it. And I LOVE IT! :)
EDIT: I've tested several dozen mission crash sites since my comment. At each site, I wait for 7 degraded-only spawns before completing the mission. The spawn rates seem to be all over the place using this method. Some sites produce no good regulators, others give quite a few. The crashed ship I'm at right now is giving a usable regulator 60% of the time. I just tried the crash site method. Upon landing, there were two power regulators. Out to main menu and back in, only one. The other was degraded. The next half-dozen re-starts resulted in only degraded. I gave up at that point, and moved on to the next mission. Maybe it was bad luck, maybe the code has been changed. One thing's for sure, FDev really like making us suffer.
lol, method 1 is a total no-go. Pirates always drop on you and kill you the srv and the ship. For some reason you didn't show the threat level of the mission in the video.
Been robbing power regulators off the same faction for awhile now, zero rep but they keep giving them away. Ionised gas is my biggest gripe, so an updated guide on farming those would be much appreciated.
There's usually a ton in big lockers in Industrial/Extraction buildings. A small extraction settlement should have no anti-ship defenses. Within a few supercruise-relogs, you'll have plenty. I'm sitting on 48, and the excess being sold on my carrier (way out in nowhere though).
@@SuperPyrrho Thanks for the tip. Feel lucky if I find 1 and relog seems to leave the settlement devoid of anything even if I've cruised and done another mission in the meantime.
Opinion polls please. I am having a rough time. I still haven't found any after almost 20 hours of farming every place I have been told I should have found them. RNG hates me
Do you even play this game? This is how you grind half your mats in this game. And that's what it is, JUST a game. You want to spend countless HOURS playing the way you think is "honarable" you go right ahead.

All of them have quite high potential to spawn "Power On" missions. Sometimes you might have to investigate 3-4 of them until you get a possitive result. But, most of the times, for me, it has been 1-2 systems and then you are golden.
Yes! Please make those farming videos! Thank you!
Dainayiman has 5 anarchy settlements with power restore missions right now. The Bust should end very soon - check Inara for the Dainayiman Blue Council's current state.
There are also 30+ anarchy settlements across Dainayiman and Xiancheim which I converted for raiding purposes. Enjoy.
That was the best channel for elite by far.

First method not working for me, hostiles spawn upon relog, quickly destroying my SRV.
Great tip!

Use your SRV to kill them in seconds...
i prefer them wild caught, from srvs and disabled ships of assassination targets.
Hey! Early enough to get both first view and first comment!
Thank you for your content.
Is the legal method still working...? I just logged to main menu two dozen times and still no working power regulator 🤔
I have been watching your channel for couple of years but unfortunately I'm a console player and Elite stopped supporting the game on consoles. Thank you!
@Pastiss Richard I'm sorry to hear Oddesy was also a disappointment
I don’t get it!!! I have just arrived at exactly the same station and only get support missions. Anyone tell me why that is please? I’m allied to the controlling faction too.
System states change all the times so a station offer one type of mission one day may not the same missions the next.
Can’t you use BUST states too?
Yes. Dainayiman has 5 anarchy bases in Power Restore state right now and the faction is in Bust. (Due to change any minute as people have been doing the restore missions non-stop.)
Most of these works...

@@stab74 it's spelt 'honourable' - but you're right, play the game the way you want - there's no 'honour' in a video game.
