I've noticed from time to time, people get aggravated because certain tech or items aren't available to get when they need them. I thought I'd make a list of items that can be found here for those that aren't aware of them. I've got this list in the rought order of how they can be obtained on average. I'm not listing stuff that can be found in Storage Containers or the crew quarters, since those items are mostly trivial. If you know of any other stuff you've come across, feel free to add to this list!
Nutrient Blocks, Distilled Water, Flares: Lifepod 5 storage, Aurora Storage room (outside the Cantina)
Fire Extinguisher: Lifepod 5 (obviously) but also on the Aurora (Engine Room, Cantina, PRAWN bay)
Radiation Suit (3 pieces): Lifepod 6 (sometimes outside it but usually inside it)
Compass: Lifepod 7 (Sadly not a 100% guaranteed spawn I've found)
Seamoth Pressure Compensator: Aurora Seamoth Bay
Cyclops Power Efficiency Module: Aurora Engine Room (Thanks @Sidchicken!)
Flashlight: Aurora PRAWN bay (near the North exit to the Science lab)
Seamoth/Cyclops Storage Module: Aurora PRAWN bay (on the floor near the grounded Exosuits)
That's about all that I've found personally, but I'm sure there are others. Most of the stuff is trivial, but the Compass/Compensator/Storage items let you use them before you can craft them, let alone before they're even unlocked. Good luck!

You also didn't list the Cyclops Power Efficiency Module, which granted can ONLY be picked up (not crafted), found in the engine room.
Don't go too deep for there be Reapers.
Well, it IS the single source of non-corroded human tech on the entire planet. Some of it even still working. The vast majority of chests are near Aurora, with a couple out on the floating island. Besides that, it's just wrecks. Which are CHUNKS of Aurora, somehow still clinging to emergency power (and some of them enough to electrocute you!)
I've often wondered how it is that the electrical energy from the ruptured conduits in some wrecks don't outright kill you once you swim close enough to it. It's high voltage electric currents arcing into the water that we're swimming in; it should cause more harm than it does and hurt from a longer distance than it currently does. But, that gameplay change would suck, so I just tell myself it's not electricity but just a ruptured plasma conduit instead.
But I like your plasma tech reasoning better.
That's on the list.
I'm still finding it there.
Too bad the planter is on the floating island. If you have that, though, you could build one and fill it with purple sponges. Once they mature, you'd have plenty of air bubbles for all the time you wanted. Just can't move it.
Almost entire risk free, yes. I noticed some creepy noises coming up, but nothing actually paths around the floating island. Warpers, maybe.
