My wife and I spent a few hours over the last two days exploring all the wrecks with cheats to update the information from the wiki. It was an entertaining endeavor, but ultimately a wasted effort. We cataloged 20 wrecks accessible with goto codes and noted everything we found. It wasn't until we were going over the information afterwards that we noticed we had not found a single moonpool fragment in all those wrecks. How is that possible?
My wife is in her game now. She's progressed through everything and is now looking for the moonpool so she can put the grappling arm on her exosuit and head to the castle. But no luck so far. Did they take the fragments out of the wrecks?

She eventually found it in a wreck. The fragments look different, harder to spot and not similar to other fragments. I think she got one fragment at the site you mentioned. I have one of the two as well, maybe from the same place.
People have trouble finding the laser cutter? I've seen four or five fragments for it in a single room. The mobile vehicle bay has also been trivially easy for us to find. Whatever algorithm they use to randomly distribute fragments clearly needs work.
Hint:
Generally, I'd say that even with changing fragment locations from time to time, the devs will stick to revealing the important location via signals. So if you miss something, research all wrecks near the list of signals.
It has always been slightly quirky. Like I've started multiple new games in quick succession to test things, and occasionally end up with a game where some fragments aren't where I can usually reliably find them. In one game I found a whole bunch of those fragments crammed to overflowing in a single wreck. Made me wonder if their algorithm spawns them in wrecks and they're supposed to randomly explode out of it, to distribute them, but it doesn't always work.
Always remember don't just search inside the wrecks search outside the wrecks aswell
Assuming everything's working.
That one game I referred to, I couldn't find any moonpool fragments on the seabed where I typically could. Where I had several times in the previous few days in different playthroughs, and many times before that. Or the other fragments which were typically in that area. In that game all those missing fragments seemed to be stuffed in that wreck.
That experience made me wonder if some other people reporting problems with finding fragments might have encountered a similar scenario. Rather than just being, eg. blind.
This game has some seriously ass-backwards chicken and the egg blueprint situations.
You can get the fragments from there easily as soon as you have the seamoth.
In my most recent savefile, I unlocked the Moonpool by visiting various Small Wrecks found in the world. But you can usually unlock it from either Large Wreck in the Grand Reef as well.
Fragments *really* need some work.
Inconceivable!
