Power Slug missing

[tpz]

When I'm using the scanner to find the slugs, often it'll guide me somewhere that there are no slugs. Idk if it's a bug, but it has happened many times now.

Maybe a cave, maybe a cracked rock, slugs are sometimes a bit shy and like to hide

Are you able to get close enough to the location that the bar on the scanner is full and it is beeping almost nonstop? If so, the slug may be concealed by removable objects- cracked rocks you blow up with Nobelisks or small hand-mineable chunks of resources.

If the bar doesn't get full and giving scanner beeps, then it's probably in an underground cave or on a ledge/plateau/bridge well above you- loads of both scenarios.

(Both scenarios also apply to Mercer Spheres and Somersloops when you're scanning for them as well.)

If neither of those apply, then get a screenshot or three and put them in the Bug Report forum for the devs.

It's guiding you well, you just missed the fact that the scanner doesn't care about the height, so often times the item you're looking for might be below you in some cave, or above you on some cliff.

it's in a cave, some of them are pretty big so if you don't see a cave entrance it might be further away

+1, there are a couple of slugs that is under a rock that you can blow up.

+1, this has happen more often than not.

This map is still decent (some stuff move) but So far I can use it to find most of the stuff (it gives elevation)
