What is the shopping availability in Dawn of Flame?

Our group is finally finishing up the adventure path we've been playing since Starfinder initially launched (took a lot of breaks).

Since then, a ton of new items have arrived with all the new books so my party really hated the fact that you couldn't actually go shopping in that adventure path after like level 4. Credits kept dropping as loot for some reason but there was no opportunity to buy all the new stuff like shields or solarian crystals etc.

So my question is, before I get too deep in preparing Dawn of Flame, does this AP have a similar issue?

You’re supposed to be crafting in later books. It gives you lots of UPBs and introduces a tech item to turn junk items into 10% UPBs.

But shopping is fine in books 1-3, not possible in 4, limited in 5, and time constrained to be largely irrelevant in 6, although I think you can shop between 5 and 6, can’t remember.

Perfect, thanks! The group kept hoping for UPBs in the last adventure path but there were none, do you know the name of the tech item? Think I'll try and incorporate it in all Starfinder games I run.

Portable Grinder. Polyfluid produced by this is useable to craft just as UPBs, it's just a liquid alien technology version of the same.
