Scanner room scans already picked up items

Long story short, I need copper ore, i have a scanner room, i scan for limestone chunks, i harvest the scanned limestone chunks and after a while I restart the scanner room to scan for limestone again but this time with a speed and range upgrade installed.

Problem, the scanner rooms detecs the limestone chunks I already cleared ... how long does it take for it to "update" the area so it doesnt scan stuff ive already picked up?

Does it even do that or is it bugged atm?

    I've noticed this before, that it lead me to places where there were no resource nodes. I assume what it was showing me were potential spawn points, not necessarily where something had actively spawned. Probably that should be, uh, refined.

    I'm on XBox, pre-Silent Running at the moment.

    Not only limestone chucks, but everything you have to break to collect including all the large resource nodes stay after being drilled.

    They are reset only after complete game restart
    And this is as old as the Scanner room itself

    I also noticed that if you pick up Salvage and turn it into Titanium the Scanner room will tell you chunks are in the room where the Fabricator is located. The Scanner room also spams you with bubbles if you happen to have Salvage in your inventory.

    I've noticed on mine it seems to think scrap metal is collecting in my moonpool, there are like 20 markers showing for it but nothing is there, the room has so many things to remove if I want to deconstruct too, and I have no idea if it will fix it

    Stop scanning, unequip the chip, scan something else then go back to scrap. You could probably skip a few steps but I noticed the issue resolves if I do other things and come back.

    the scanner room needs a serious overhaul. i wanted copper ore, gave me all the large resource deposits.
