Presuming you are not on a server with regenerating POIs, you can add a salvage core to the shipyard and use the F4 menu to see check all of the (non-alien containers) to see if there are any you missed.

Salvage each container you loot along the way if you can, it will make identifying any missed a lot easier. Also, if you salvage all the cargo containers do the devices lists them at 0 and then check the CPU statistics, if there are any cargo containers remaining in that list it means there are alien containers you did miss (quantum containers should still be listed in the F4 menu if they exist though).

Thank you for your reply. In my experience quantum containers are not listed in the F4 menu. I never thought to check the CPU statistics, I will do that. Thank You :)

Edit: I took out all of the containers listed in the p menu and one cargo container is still listed in the statistics. So far I have spent another hour looking for this one container.

Edit. Ok so I finally give up. The only reason I invaded the Zirax Naval Shipyard was for the quantum chest.

Edit: I didn't realize until now that statistics counts closets as cargo containers. The quantum containers are also not listed in statistics.

I can't recall if the shipyard has a dedicated box or not, but the planet side drone bases definitely do. Not sure if its the easiest ground target to hit that has one, but its the one I know; you'd be able to see if the quantum box shows up or not.

If you're just looking for a small amount of processors, the abandoned POIs are probably your easier targets; just bring lots of meds for poison, infected wounds, tea for fevers and make sure your armour is repaired over 80%.

I'm way past getting small amounts of processors. I'm looking for data cores. I've only found one so far in a Zirax Imerat battleship. The ships and poi's that have quantum computer chests have a very small chance to give up data cores. It's the only place I know to find them.

You will only find data cores on T3-T5 PoI or ships. These signify the number of NPC cores (typically Admin) they have on the device menu:

Perhaps you could try going into Creative mode in a space-based canvas area and bringing up the F2 menu and scanning for R2OPV for ships and R2BA for planet side PoI and looking at their device trees to see for yourself which targets you want to try. The screenshot above is from a Creative spawned Sector Command where you are likely to find 5 and maybe even more Data Cores. And be sure to show your gratitude to our RE2 authors. We are guests in their house after all

@OctoberSky Thank you very much for this advice. And I DO highly respect both creators of RE2. I was just in a fit at the moment. I changed my post.

I have creative mode set up for RE2. In the F2 menu do you use the search function to scan? I have never heard the term 'canvas area'.

Yes, search on the strings above in the blueprint selections. Be sure to have the filters set to Base for the R2BA search and Capital Vessels for the R2OPV search. You get everything, including Polaris, Legacy, etc. But you should start to see Zirax ships and you can then instantiate them in the canvas area. When you start RE2 in Creative mode, it will give you a canvas option which allows you to bring in ships and bases in 0g. I actually prefer starting on Akua's Creative start, then bringing in a small throw-away CV and warping to the location of the UCH research vessel and using that area like a canvas. But you'll find a way that works for you. Best of luck!

I will do this. Thank you again for helping me even after I sounded obnoxious. The world is better with people in it like you :)

You are very kind @Volnick. There are plenty of people like us and they all play RE2, Enjoy!

I just ran a drone base, and unfortunately no, the quantum computers/boxes do not appear in the dropdown menus. I did fine a data core though... only the 2nd I've found in all my playthroughs :/

Did you try pointing at the quantum computer when you had your salvage core in and then open the device menu to see if it highlights?

I did not, but presuming it's mechanics are the same as the alien containers, it should. Unfortunately I was hoping to determine whether or not you could see if there was one in a POI that was not located yet. I should have checked the CPU usage to see if it was listed as a container there, but I didn't think of that at the time :(

I tried that but it only highlights the cargo box group, not the individual quantum computer box.
