When you are looking at the map on the Location Radar does the red triangle under a location mean you never visited it yet?

The red triangle indicates the radio tower variant, blue triangle indicates the wind farm variant.

Each location has a battery that you can remove which will turn out the beacon at the top of the location. You can use this mechanic to see where you've been organically.

Ok, then a green is the garden variant, I guess.

Actually, I don't know if this is a spoiler level question: but as per the in-game encyclopedia, some it says variant I covered to x % (scanning). But actually, this is a bit misleading. Because as far as I observed, you can go to a same variant of the same group, and still find new scannables. It's not like, you need to visit Radio Tower 1, Radio Tower 2 variant only once. So I'm kind of confused about the randomizer here. Or maybe I observed incorrectly?!

I'm still missing some of the unlocks. And I'm a bit lost. Becase there is no more "?" locations on the radar.

(P.s.: I have my game from the early times, and I continued it now, after couple of months. But as far as I can tell, the unlock tracking seems to be in order. But could be bugged.)

My point - what I'm trying to make: I'm a bit lost on the unlock system and what to look for, if a tower type is not fully unlocked. Any suggestions?

the towers that spawn items/stations have a certain look. they will always look like that, but what spawns on them is randomized (from a list of possible spawns). it's RNG, so you only know when you get to them.

i visited most towers i came by (batteries!), and then i only needed to look for the tower i needed, e.g. "High" windfarm tower. they don't spawn as much as others, so it took a bit of travel to get another one. (that tower can be a little tricky).

Check your studies menu and see what items you haven't found. If you have found all location variants, it will tell you what you didnt scan. It will also show you what the icon looks like for its location so you can spot it on the radar.

Then fly over, land and find the items.

I cant give any word on the wiki, its fanmade and yes outdated.
