Did the Living Large update reset spawns?
So I've been doing massive renovations in my seabase to accomodate a seven-story Large Room tower, which EATS UP Titanium real quick. I used my Scanner to search for Scrap Metals and lo and behold, I instantly found tons when from what Ik, I used up a large portion of the scraps surrounding my base. Did the update respawn all looted resources?

Note: I didn't upgrade my Scanner room range as it's already maxed way before now.

It's possible they fixed a longstanding problem with the scanner, where it doesn't scan any portion of the map that's not currently loaded in the current session.

What that meant was if you saved and quit inside your base, when you reloaded the game only a very small portion of the map would be loaded. So your scanner would pick up almost nothing until you went outside and swam around for awhile, even if it found those materials before.

I see. This does make sense, tho I already knew abt this before and Im pretty sure I cleared up most of the scrap metal around my main base

This. I found PDA 3 which I already got way back. Was pretty sure it's also around the area where the metal scraps pinged.

Anyone know where the affected areas are? I hate that the update did this. So far I found that lifepod 3 and wreck area have respawned. The door has to be recut and both pdas have respawned

I know for a fact the Kelp Forest around Lifepod 3 was affected cuz a lot of metal salvages respawned. I checked the Lost River, but it's still barren of any lithium I mass harvested so I'm assuming it's unaffected.

I can give you the batch indexes if you want (camera batch #) in the F1 menu.

Sure! Is the list long? It would definitely help

Out of curiosity, what are the general areas/biomes most affected by this?
