If you find a portal on a planet, which you can find with alien maps from space stations, you can use at least 1 glyph to get all of them if you use the right coordinates, which xaine was nice enough to put on his site

It sounds like you got it sorted, but I would also advocate for the Neutron Cannon, with P-Field uprade, as it’s my favorite weapon. It fires a shotgun blast of purple energy that has some AOE and uses carbon for ammo. It’s also good for salvage scrap due to the AOE, 2 shots will take out all the appendages as long as you hit one of them, the center thing takes a few more and is honestly easier with the mining laser, but yeah
