Am I missing something

Seems like the new lush desert biome is very empty compared to earlier biomes. I've found one blue chest so far, and no lore, bunkers, or anything else. I'm still early in the animals phase, so the critters haven't spawned yet, but is that it for this zone?

Seems there is a bit more in the toxic cave area, though it's still kind of scanty. It's very dark, though, so maybe I'm missing some stuff. Can't figure out how to hide spoilers in a post here, or I'd be more detailed.

I agree it seems pretty sparse compared to other areas. There is a bunker though. Took me a few trips into the biome to find it.

I finally found that, but I wouldn't say it really added much in the way of lore. I was hoping for maybe a new large scale wreck or two, or maybe a new dynamite procedural exploration area., and perhaps more information about the fate of the shipwrecked folks.

Would be interesting to actually encounter someone else on the planet who is alive, or to be able to save someone even, but I suppose the whole thing with that game is its sense of isolation from other human beings. That's also part of what makes it rather relaxing compared to many other planetary exploration type games.

There was the wreck in the toxic caves, and a couple of signs of shipwrecked survivors who had since vanished without a trace, but not really anything earth shaking lore wise, imo.

Maybe there is more to find, but so far it seems content light compared to some of the earlier zone additions. Perhaps it's because the developer is spending more time on the new DLC? Still waiting for the new mammals to spawn, though.

Also, is it just luck of the draw on this playthrough, or has there been a change in frequency wrt the drops of the mammal #4 species and variants in the portal procedural wrecks, as well as rare frog eggs? Haven't gotten any this play through.
