I've been to the path about five times now and even with a range of searching (I use the wreck as orientation point) I cannot find the sea treaders. I don't want to use console. Does anyone have any tips on what I should do to find them?
As a minor aside, I found the second model chair in the Koosh Zone wreck but was not able to scan it. I've had trouble getting to scan things after the Power Nap update, so what I want to know is if it is unscannable atm or if my save file just dislikes me.

As for the sea treaders, I have yet to visit their path and NOT see them since Power Nap. Grant that this is a Power Nap fresh start, so there again might be some upgraded savegame glitching, I dunno.
That said, for a very long time (like, until this week) I thought I knew what the sea treaders' path was and how to find it. I was very wrong and realized this when I stumbled across the real thing. Easiest way I know to find it in spoiler; disregard if you want to find it yourself... or if you already know you have the real thing. Here for the benefit of those who want it! Hope someone finds it helpful.
Maybe you were at the right location, but they bugged out on you, did you upgrade your savegame? It seems that there is an issue with scans and upgrading saves. There might be one as well with spawned creatures.
I found wall shelves in the western wreck in the Grand Reef and I managed to scan them. Have you looked there yet? But as I said, I've been having some pretty big scan issues in my current save file so I wouldn't be surprised if things are randomly bugged.
Very happy to have seen these creatures myself finally. They're beautiful and I got two pieces of manure. Not exactly small stuff, which is good to know if it ever becomes essential to farming and I need to gather some. Was a bit disappointed the basalt only contained lithium and copper (my kingdom for silver!), but it's a good step towards renewable resources.
As for the minor aside, I went back to the Koosh Zone wreck to see if the chair was now scannable. It wasn't, but I could scan the lightstick next to it despite that I've already scanned a lightstick play-hours prior. Scanning stayed at 0% for that reason. I'm going to guess the update is just a bit buggy.
I considered building a base for stakeout, but because I didn't/don't know where they are supposed to roam I was afraid I'd build in their path. Depending on the eventual value of manure, I do plan to set up base there at least one save file.
Yay you found them! Pretty sweet aren't they?
I aww'd when I found they only seemed to break up basalt, and I didn't actually check any because I've only ever found gold and the very very rare diamond in basalt... and I have WAY more gold than I'll ever need already. So they drop copper hmm? Good to know!
Eggs and creatures too? O.O Genius!
