I started a new file about a week ago. At first the closest areas around the starter lifepod spawned fragments as well as wrecks. The Aurora also had fragments as well. But anything farther out has spawned mostly the same things. Power transmitter fragments or battery charger fragments. All the Wrecks in the Dunes and Grand reefs spawn no fragments at all. Just the internal clutter. The Data boxes in the Dunes wreck spawned open data boxes with no data chip.

Edit: So i swung around the far side of the Aurora. And all that cargo boxes contain propulsion rifle fragments.

    When data boxes are open, it means you already got the chip somewhere else. That's what it's supposed to mean, anyway.

    As for fragments spawning inconsistently, I see that all the time. Currently I've only found half of one Prawn arm and I've searched every wreck ~300 meters down or shallower.

    The game has always put mainly only Propulsion Cannon fragments on the sides of Aurora because that item is so important. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone counted and said there are an even dozen!

    The rear of the Aurora has the same ton of MVB—again because the tech is so critical.

    In experimental its hard to find the prop gun frags now.

    I disagree. If you go to the side of the Aurora, they are easy to find on PC. I assume XBox is the same for this.

    In Expermental I found none of the fragments there. It kept being other things like Seaglides. Either they reduced their rates. Or the RNG really screwed me out of the gun for a while.

    I've found more of a mix of parts on the side of the Aurora these days, but still managed to find the Propulsion Cannon fragments I need. I've also found the cannon fragments in deep wrecks, too, and it's like, why are these even here?

    @Hulkie2345 Sounds like you got unlucky in fragment spawn generation for that game.

    Which is a bad thing about RNG. I've had common easy parts never show up with me. Like the the plant shelf. Only one wreck had it. I deactivated the gun platform before finding it in one of the wrecks lol.

    I imagine they'll be tweaking the RNG settings for a while before they get it right, but I'm confident they will.
