Odyssey Content and farming Merits
So, recently I started playing Odyssey, never touched it before. I'm roaming around anarchy systems trying to get myself acquainted with its combat, but I find myself getting beaten often, so I figured it would be nice to do some engineering, but I'm at a lost of what I'm looking for, I collected resources, deposited them into my ship and yet when I go to the store to upgrade my suit and weapons they don't show up on the menu, like if I didn't have them, am I missing something?

Further, I'd like to know how to find good settlements to gather intel to deliver to my Power, I'm pledged to Jerome Archer.

You can try Elite Dangerous Odyssey Helper. Its and app that shows pretty much everything like where to get what, and how to unlock who etc.

On foot mats are added to your inventory the second you board an SRV, your ship, or an Apex taxi, so there's no manual storing involved. There's also no need to move them into or out of your backpack at stations.

Stolen items can't be used for upgrades. If it says 'steal item' when you aim at it, it's only good for selling to dodgy bartenders at Anarchy-owned stations.

BTW, an anarchy system can still have many non-anarchy settlements. Every location has a faction owner, and only locations controlled by the anarchy faction are actually anarchy. To be sure it's an anarchy settlement, click the anarchy in the factions list on the system map, then scroll down to view their settlements (if any)

If I can't get materials by stealing, then how do I get materials at all besides missions?

Power restore missions/abandoned settlements.

E.g. 'eliminate scavengers at ...'

When you get there, eliminate the scavs then break in and loot the place. Same for power restores.

The ground combat stuff isn't hard, and i say that as someone who is only a mediocre FPS player.

If you don't want to bother with the engineering, you can take a look at the pre-upgraded sharing is caring thread on the official forums where people post pre-upgraded stuff.

Its not really necessary to upgrade though to complete missions or win CZs, if anything it makes it all just way too easy.

The only area where i'd say some upgrading/engineering is worthwhile is getting a loadout for doing stealth missions. Can make doing those less of a headache.
