Like in solar system? pda didnt help, it tell me about icon, i can see icon on starter solar system map.
It exactly why i asking, found few, they only represent few almost same vendors, one sell superconductor second plasma converter and last optronics

For other stuff i have to find other trade stations?
(upgrade kits, different converters, exchangers, communication stuff, trusters)

Are there some different trade stations? If so, how can i tell them apart?

Each of the Traders, even at a trade station, only buys certain things, and there are traders at places other than trade stations, like factories. What they buy (and sell) and in what quantity varies. Things like steel plate/electronics you might be able to sell 1000 of, but then they're not worth much. Even things like deco/furnishings you're only going to be able to sell 100 of.
Upgrade kits tend to only be available in units of the 1 to 10 range. Raiding POIs is a much better way of getting these.
Ore and ingots of non-base materials (Neo, Sathium, Titanium) will sell in larger quantites to the right outlet like a refinery, and an astroid's worth (approx 4250 units) of Neo will sell for about half a million.
I can't remember what the 'reset' period (elapsed time in game) is for single player.

The PDA help's a bit, but not helps fully.

Example:

Heat Exchanger: The PDA says you can buy it at Zero Horizons Manufacturing. But you will never find any POI thats named like that. What you will find ist Manufacturing Plant. The NPC himself is named Zero Horizons Manufacturing.
Without knowing this, you will never be able to buy Heat Exchanger.

Also it is unclear where to look for this Traders. There is no Hint in the PDA, whether you will find that Traders in Orbit or only on Planets.

The best i have found to find any Trader is:

Seems it my bad, and need to clarify
Asking for some place, i mean, where i can find such places, or where i should looking, saw most of what you written, its not what i looking for


Best what i saw was trade station which looks like a ring, with levels A B C D, on level C there are many different merchants, the one with weapon upgrade, if it say you something.
Is there some similar trade staton but with different merchants?


I not seen yet scrapyard, salvagers, shipyard, spaceport, traders, and electronics/tech factories.
Where i should looking for them?

You need to explore the Galaxy. Polaris, Trade Guild, Colonists, Pirates, and Zirax all have both Trade Stations, Factories, Manufacturing Plants, Outposts. Basically a whole raft of POIs where you are likely to find Traders, and what is where you have to find for youself, it's determined when a playfield (planetary system/planet/moon) is generated, ie when you go there.
Scrapyards I think are specific to Colonists.
You will only be able to Trade with any faction if your Rep is Neutral or better ( and yes that does include both Pirates and Zirax).
You will find traders of some descritption every where you look, but some may only exist within that faction's territory, so need to remember in some manner where given Traders are when you locate them (and there is almost nothing in the base game mechanics that support this).
You will find better and more traders outside of the starter systems.
Some traders, like the factories, will only trade once they've been unlocked, which generally requires doing a mission for them, which is supplying them with a certain amount of goods. Again that is pseudo-random, supply n of <1 from t types> or sometimes n of <1 from t types> and x of <1 from t types>.

I understand it i just wanna some direction to move instead random roaming everywhere

You don't need to go everywhere so fast.

You can find Traders for rare Components like Reactor Cores, Heat Exchanger, Superconductor or Radiation Shielding in neutral Space, even in Systems around the Starting Systems.

Random Roaming everywhere?.....No.
But yes do try to hone a skill for an informed exploration.
The places(trade poi) being looked for will possibly spawn in your game, according to a list of factors/variables. [i.e. Commonly found in: specific faction(or neutral) territorial space, specific star types, specific orbital sector types, specific planet/moon types.]
You can only increase likelihood of finding one by increasing the odds.

But when found, mark on the galactic map or noted somehow, enabling return visits.
Generally, informed exploration and marking down Points Of Interest or whatever sourced locals(playfields) makes mid to endgame EGS way more palatable

The EmpyrionBuddy app mentioned in the above post does list trade poi and their relative spawn locals. It also lists what many of the trade poi deal in whether they buy or sell and how often restock happens.
https://empyrionbuddy.com/traders

For instance...I just found out that the illegal drug shipments I've been hauling around for months can be sold at Pirate Black Market POI found on Rocky Desert planets. And that that particular POI is not yet officially a part of RE2 and is a placeholder or a old spawn item.

If you want a 'direction' just do the UCH Galaxy survey mission....
That is assuming you've made contact with the UCH, and done any/all of the 'survey starter system' missions

how i can start it? After starter solar system survey captain tell there no more missions

Look in your PDA.. Under UCH is the Galaxy survey.. and/or warp to any of the other starter systems, there are 5 (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon) and speak to the captain of the UCH ship there to get the survey mission for that system.. there is a hint in the message you get when you complete a system survey. There is also another mission to find out what happened to the colony on Sienna

rn i check different sun classes in starting sector
