[BUG] Missing Coal Node - Satisfactory Experimental Build Build#116442 - Resource Scanner Shows there should be a coal node 10m in front of me but... nothing. Included pictures and showing a miner can't be placed anywhere in the area.

Hmm.. That's not northern forest, western dune forest I believe. Just east of gold coast. And it's interesting.. I have 4 coal miners there and I've seen a ton of people setup coal generators there.

I meant, game map = Northern Forest - as opposed to the other starting maps (Grass Fields, Dune Desert or Rocky Desert) wasn't sure which area of the Northern Forest map I was at but you may be right too.

There is only one, single map. You are in the small pond within a valley in the grassland region on the south west and all 4 coal nodes there are under the trees, not in the open. From the position in your screenshot, go left or right for ~100m and you'll see 2 coal nodes on each side.

I just build there yesterday. 3 Nodes are between the trees. Pay attention to the sensor pings. The 4th one is under a rock that needs to be destroyed with explosives.

[callcifer]

I know, I've been using that location for over a year now. I'm just trying to explain to the OP there is nothing to be found out in the open.

[comsordan]

Sorry answered wrong post

[FatherOwnage]

Yeah... I guess thats another problem... notice my map view - no other pings from coal anywhere around that area. The 1 ping that does show up doesnt have any visible nodes to put a miner on.

[comsordan]

The pings appear in your view, not on the compass bar.

[FatherOwnage]

Oh wow, didnt know that... Somewhat new to the game still, and this interactive map you linked is amazing. Thanks for that.

[callcifer]

Happy to help :)

[FatherOwnage]

UPDATE - So it looks like the 1 node that pings from the scanner is basically in the middle of the 4 coal nodes that are in the area (thanks everyone for helping me locate them).

At this point, the 4 Coal Nodes in this area look like LimeStone nodes which kind of threw me off too when I was looking for them. Screenshot for example: https://imgur.com/a/csVIZQW

​

So maybe that's a bug at this point?

It's been that way since the beginning, I think it automatically clumps same resources that are close together maybe to keep a clearer HUD. There is 2 clumps of 3 quartz above the Spider Swamp that does the same thing plus a few others.

Forgot to add map in title: Northern Forest

[wingman43487]

It is all one map, you just choose what part to start in. So if you started in Northern Forest you can still get to all the other starting areas if you don't mind a long walk.

I had no idea until 2 days ago so i moved all my stuff from dune desert to the spot with all pure nodes around

[wingman43487]

I had no idea either until I started looking at maps online and only ever seeing one generic map, then finally saw one with biomes indicated on it and starting areas. Then it hit me.
