Why is it that these can only seemingly be found on foot?

If I land and scan and it’s 600m north, say. Can’t be bothered to walk so get in my ship and fly roughly 1000m north. Land and scan again. Now I’m 2000m away in a completely different direction. Same if I get in my exocraft.

I might be imagining it but it feels like as soon as I get in a vehicle, it moves. Also with delivery missions it’s a trade outpost I’m looking for but the ship based scan, which otherwise will detect them, doesn’t. And if I land and scan for trade outpost with an exocraft, it finds another one further away.

In short I still find this mechanic incredibly infuriating and just abandoned a delivery mission as I really couldn’t be arsed with this tedium. We can teleport anywhere in the galaxy but haven’t got the tech to narrow down the location of something on a planet any better than a 17th century sailor with a compass and sextant. Yeah this is a whinge and I know some people like it but to me it only detracts from the enjoyment of this game. We have creative mode for those who don’t like grinding, I feel like there should be an option for this also. Or just get rid of it.

I’ve been playing No Mans Sky for about 3 years and have appreciated every updated. The developers of this game truly listen to there players and provide what we want. All for free! I’ve seen a lot of suggestions made in the community that I wish would be present, for example customizable ships would be awesome. However, there are others that seem to be literally begging and complaining of this or that. They seem not to be satisfied with anything. Or they are happy for a month then beg for something else.

To these players I just want to say think of where the heck this game came from. The developers have given us so much when they really didn’t have to – and they continue to do so. Stop taking advantage of the goodness of our developers and just enjoy what they have done so far. There’s going to be a day where the updates slow down and then stop.

I enjoy the heck outa this game, but I’ve just been noticing a lot if complainers. And yes I know I am complaining in this post.
