How about a way to find....

[Tom21]

How about a way to find Data Cards? Like if a Tower has a Data Card it shows up in Yellow! I'v been looking for them and maybe got 1 in 30 to 35 Towers, Been trying to get the "Simple Storage Rack" BEEN LOOKING FOR OVER 6 Hours Now!!!!!!

Aren't data cards.. (?) on the radar?

or is that JUST stuff that needs to be scanned..

Man, you either pulled a really really REALLY bad RNG or you just straight up pumping numbers up for a drama. Until you unlock everything data card can be found pretty much on every tower, no matter the type. Greenhouse towers have a little chance to have two cards.
And what you proposed about tower explicitly indicating datacard presence is just a joke of an idea. This is what they call "hold my hand and walk me through" mode when you are inventing shortcuts to make your walkthrough easier than it has to be. What's the point of playing if you go through everything in the smallest amount of time? Slow down, don't rush, take your time. You are not speedrunning this game, it doesn't matter how fast you unlock every item in this game.

Have Never gotin a Data Card from a Greenhouse tower EVER! And have played on 6 toons now! And Data Cards are not show as (?)! "data card can be found pretty much on every tower" Yea RIGHT! Do Not know what Game you are Playing? Take off and fly to other Tower Zip!, Take off and fly to other Tower Zip!, Take off and fly to other Tower Zip!, Take off and fly to other Tower Zip! , Ohhhh Got 1 Oh Dame it's a DAME Light!, Take off and fly to other Tower Zip!, Take off and fly to other Tower Zip!,Take off and fly to other Tower Zip!.....Oh and been Playing for 95 Hours.

If you don't find one at a location, save and quit the game while there, then reload the game save and recheck all the drawers and lockers. I do this at every location, and it almost always has one pop up on the reload.

Oh Give that a Try!! Thanks!!

I just want someone at the Studio (hell a MOD even) to iterate what exactly the fast blinking Beacon lights are supposed to be for. It's always been our understanding (Players) that fast blinking light meant there was something at that Tower of interest, beyond Crafting materials. Be it a Relic (Collectible), a Data Pad or a 'Wrecked' Equipment to scan.

I've found Data Pads and Relics at normal blinking Towers and found nothing but materials at fast blinking Tower (and vise-versa). It seems there's no rime or reason to a Beacon blinking fast, or not.

THAT would be the best way to indicate there's something there of interest, like a Data Pad. Having to stop at literally every single Tower hoping for "that thing" you've been trying to find will burn Players out real fast. For example, I'm on PTB and it took me ~11.5 hours to find the new Capybara Collectible and just over 12 hours to find the new Clock. I went from 0 Batteries when I transferred over to the PTB to having collected 70-80 Batteries now. That includes 2 Underdust visits that you can't take the Battery from.

RNG is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game mechanic for those with bad luck, and no, no I don't know of a superior way to disperse items in a game than RNG, but that doesn't mean I don't have the right to complain about it.

Do you ever not complain? Seriously; every time I see you, you're complaining. Give it a rest already.

I think you'll find the VAST majority of my posts/comments to be the complete opposite of complaining. However, I will take you comment to heart and learn to be a better person thanks to you!

Right, like your freak out when people told you they didn't like your NPC traders and permanent base building idea. Totally didn't complain that whole time about how your opinion was pretty much the only one that mattered.

Suggestions is one thing, talking trash is another. Learn the difference.

I thought you got a data pad every tower till you got every item o.o;;;;

You do, greenhouses give a chance for 2 to spawn. Though I’m not sure if every underdust tower spawns data pads as I’ve only been to one.

I think you're going a bit overboard here. DeLinsay might have had an idea or 2 that was well received but I think overall is a pretty good contributor to the community. I think you are overreacting quite a bit. We all have a right to speak up and have our voices heard and for the most part have been well received by the dev team. there is no need for personal attacks on people.

Hello me again, I guess I can share our secrets with you ;)

A location that has faster-blinking lights indicates that that particular POI has more supplies in its "shed" than a regular one.

On a Wind Farm, you need a battery to get access to the shed with extra Circuit Boards (adopted as GPU's by the community), on a Radio Tower, it has a shed with more Electrical parts behind a wall you need to extract.
