Easiest way to find good Outpost spots??

[Potential Legend]

This is getting very tedious and annoying. Trying to find a good spot on Akila to mine Water, Aluminium and Nickel, found spots on the map where the resources are all adjacent to each other and landing in those spots. I run around for a few minutes with the beacon out but I can never get more than 2 resources at once to show in the top left corner so I open the map and pick another landing spot. I saw one area with 3 resources at once but not the ones I wanted so I know it's possible. Is there a better way to do it than just constantly opening the map to pick a new spot and checking around the ship before moving again? I tried spending more time in one area running for over 10 minutes straight but it made no difference.

I've trained the Sensor skill to help me find better landing spots. With all resources at your fingertips, finding a good spot is hard, but possible

That doesn't seem to matter as much. My 2nd outpost i found a spot with 4 of 5 resources, despite having set down in the center of a pure iron field.

That is pretty much how to do it. Land, jump onto your ship, get the outpost out and drag it around as far as you can. If it shows up resources, great, if not, simply fast travel to another spot.

Does that upgrade the ship scanner or the suit scanner? Yeah it is hard, is jumping from spot to spot until you find one the only good way to do it?

Oh wow okay that's interesting then, I'll just pick anywhere then, and okay guess I'll just have to keep doing that.

It´s indeed tidious to do it.

Meanwhile I tend to build one-ressource-outpost anyway, for it´s easier to manage the traffic of goods.
