Scanner room Dosen't save Scannable items?

[WASHED CORSA PEEK]

Hello,
Before i saved i was able to scan for wrecks, salvaged metal, sand stone and so on.
Now after i start my game again, theres just things iv seen again, not the scannables i was before able to scan for.

The Scanner room can only find resources in map 'cells' that have been loaded. Either wander around a bit, or use the camera drone to load in these cells so the scanner room can find it.

Worst case scenario, drop a sample of what you're looking for in the water then scan for it.

I seemed to notice that the scanner room offer more choices after a first complete scan. When few choices, I waited with no result. then I scanned for anything available and after complete scan (red points till the edge of scanning range), I got all available materials available at the place. Maybe it is the same after a long wait, but I found this to be faster.

The easiest way to ensure that all cells are loaded is to pilot a camera in a circle around the scanner. All of my scanners have all four upgrade slots filled with distance modules to gain the max range of 500m. I find that runing a camera in a circle, centered on the scanner room, with a radius of around 350m loads all cells at full range. You may be able to accomplish this with a smaller radius, but I haven't experimented.

You run a circle by looking at the distance meter on the camera and constantly turning in to keep the distance relatively constant (350m for me). At the same time, monitor the compass to ensure you travel all 360 degrees. Takes three or four minutes for a complete circle.

Once done, it's good for searching all items and switching the selections during your game session. However, you lose it when you exit the game and have to rerun the circle if you want to use the scanner after a restart.
