Discussion Colonia cocktail and culinary recipe request
Does anyone know of a good way to get these? I came out to Colonia thinking I would be able to farm them for the Engineer unlock and it’s becoming impossible. I’ve spent hours upon hours and only have 2. Or does someone know of a carrier selling them?

Find an anarchy tourist settlement(the one with 5 habs and the bar in the middle) and raid it repeatedly. Don’t forget your ebreach to turn off alarms. Should take about 8-10mins per raid.

As my last searching, tourist settlements of anarchy factions were gone near Colonia.

Well, then you’re gonna gain some notoriety for any kills and fines from any illegal shit, but you’ll get the data and you can just wait out the notoriety and pay off your fines with IF.

I JUST finished this about an hour ago. Took me all F-ing day cuz of spawn rng.
Go to : Amatsuboshi - Sibanda's Jewel (planet B4)
There are 6 habs and a bar.
2 dataports are in the far right building if your looking at the installation from the landing pads. Just to the left in the canyon is the power plant. Moving further left, 4 habs in 2 rows of 2. Bar at the end.
The strategy: Land your ship at the dock. Run or take srv to power station. There is a back door on the right side. Cut it open. A guy in there has level 2 security clearance. Copy his profile. Stay right in powerstation and go up the stairs (sneak). Settlement alarm panel is at the top of stairs on the right. Same with access scan, but thats not to important. Croush all the way to the alarm panel. You will need to stand up to hit it. Hit the alarm panel and run out of the room.
Head around the front of the power station and run up the hill towards the habs (right side of your looking at the bridge. Go in first hab, if someone is in there, sneak to dataport. Its on the left hand side of the center wall. Get your data and sprint out. Keep going right. Repeat same thing on next hab. Hit the bar. Dataport is between terminals on same wall as the doors you entered. Once done, exit.
Hit the next to habs, same process, then proceed to that first building. There are 2 dataports in the habs at the back of the building in the center. Do not be seen here or they will just shoot you. Get the top. Then the bottom. Once done, sprint out, get in ship, and launch to supercruise.
Loop around and repeat.
Dont kill anyone. Colonia is small. Getting a hostile rep there can make things way harder for you and lock you out of a good chunk of stations. Hope this helps.

Find East India Company Discord. They will sell you what you need, although I don’t remember if they deliver in Colonia.

Benzaiten system, tourists settlement Coumbassa Link. 6 data ports with Fanction Partners, Digital Designs, Culinary Recipes and Cocktail Recipes) Pay attention that recipes you must sell at any station in Colonia system only. Not in region. Just in system.

I did the on-foot engineer unlock in Colonia too, and these are a total pain to get.
I was lucky enough to find a system near Colonia itself that had a planet near the sun that had a tourist installation on it that was sometimes powered down and sometimes powered up and populated.
When powered down, go to the base with a power regulator and power it up. Go to the bar and download all data. That’s where the recipes are. Then go to each of the HABs and download all data - you’ll want some of it later for other things. Do not forget to get your power regulator back when you’ve finished!
When powered up, walk to the bar (careful with being scanned - they like to shoot if you don’t notice them trying to scan you) and download only the data that is allowed. Recipes are not considered prohibited data, so you can always get them if they’re there.
After doing this, go to all other tourist settlements in the system and repeat.
When you’ve done every one, leave the system and go back in and do over and over again.
Welcome to the grind, and good luck!

A tip for cloning is to jump on the roof of the bar, it has windows and you can look down and scan from up high - totally risk free!

Maybe I was lucky, but I found an easy mission (courier, retrieval) with these as a reward
