No new stash locations spawning?

[Ard Feainn]

I've killed hundreds of stalkers without finding new stash coordinates. I know there are stashes I haven't found because I'm missing blueprints and keep finding new ones on my own. So what's happening here?

These stashes are very likely on static spawns such as PDAs on dead stalkers or PDAs in certain locations. You need to find those PDAs to get those coordinates. All blueprint stashes are predefined and do not change, they are in the same locations every time.

A lot of stashes are still basically magic and will not exist without something telling you, yeah. Some people defend it because 'actually there was nothing here, ♥♥♥♥ your exploring without following a checklist' could be much worse in the early days of stalker.

Eventually you run out of stashes to loot. The only thing that regenerates are artifacts after Emissions.

I'm not looking for new stashes to spawn, I'm wondering why I'm not getting marks for existing stashes. It's highly unlikely that I missed 20+ PDAs that had exactly the stashes with the blueprints I'm missing.
