cant get wiring loom in adrift.

[purple]

i have been to over 40 trade terminals and not seen a single wiring loom. any other way to get them?

[KLEMBO]

Odd, they were in all I went to.

If you dismantle certain ship upgrades you get one. (not sure on suit/weapon upgrades) Or buy from other pilots in space stations or when flying about (Object of interest)

They should be available at the space station trade terminal. Alternatively, you can buy Suspicious Packet (Technology), and dismantle the tec for materials, you usually get a wiring loom.

The only problem is that in the 'Adrift' expedition there are no NPCs.

I got them by transferring a selection of items from an established save, before starting the expedition at the Anomaly. Although NPCs are absent in this expedition, trade terminals are present in abandoned space stations. They curiously remain undamaged, but buying and selling is limited to only a selection of items, unlike in the usual game.
Some of the items for sale can add tech to your ship, that can then be destroyed to reclaim the resources. Also finding a crashed ship, technology on the ship may deliver wiring looms if destroyed too. Trade terminals may also be found in some building types on planets too and possibly settlements may also have things to purchase (but I didn't check settlements).

But as already mentioned in earlier posts above, tech can be destroyed to reclaim limited wiring looms. The game catalogue also reveals the ingredients needed to make things. Rare metals can also be reclaimed in small quantities this way, like cadmium and so on, useful for constructing the hyper-drives.

Alternatively you can start an expedition at anomaly and stock up on items you will need for the expedition (saving time).

Starting System (Issiugr) OR any system.
1. goto space station.
2. reach the galactic trade terminal.
3. buy suspicious tech. unpack the tech.
4. install the said tech (x class mods).
5. dismantle the mod, yielding wiring loom and other goodies.

You can also buy suspicious goods, that yield other type of materials.

muultitool salvage in anomaly? Should get some fast from the sentinel node terminals.

[Phaedrus]

I got some Exosuit upgrades from sentinels then scraped them.

Get some green modules, doesn't matter if it for the suit, multitool or ship. Install and immediately dismantle it. You get 1 wiring loom per module.
