[Lumfy_tv]

i'm stuck in the portal mission because i do not have the salvged data to unlock the power thing, where can i find one?

Land on planet, hop out of ship, hold down f, or whatever you have the analysis visor set to, look for buried technology module, I think it's called. Go dig it up.

Not every planet has buried technology module.
Hop between planets and do so exploration.

Yes every planets has them. Some just have more than others.

There are several ways to obtain the salvaged data, but as everyone has suggested:
scanning/digging on planets is actually the most dependable/reliable method.

WIzard of Woz is correct, some planets have more than others.

They are not on dead planets and planets in uncharted systems.

This is correct, there are no artifacts/buildings of any kind in uncharted systems.

Wizard of War is correct in that some planets have more than others. If your on a planet that should have them and you are not seeing a lot then try a different planet.

When you scan, it's the little "shield" icons. When you are close or you have locked on to one, the icon is blue instead of white. You will usually find one very near shelters, and also buried next to abandoned building, and ofttten close to damaged machinery (the smoke emitting mechanical-looking objects that you will find scattered over most planets)

Press "E" for visor and basically look for this white icon that look similar like this but pointing down: ι»
