Did the Blueprint Fragments from the Grassland Wrecks Vanish?

My friend who told me about this game decided to restart a new game following the most recent update. He then told me he couldn't find Seamoth blueprints anywhere at all. I thought this was strange as when I was wandering around the grasslands prior to the update, I found them *everywhere*. It was practically raining Seamoth fragments and I got quite a bit of titanium from them.
This evening, I was wandering around looking for scrap metal to build my Cyclops and I came upon two of the grassland wrecks I hadn't seen before, so I looked around. Not a single fragment of anything at all! Not inside the wreckage, nor in the little boxes outside. Onee wreckage even had two sealed doors I had to cut through ... and behind those sealed doors was nothing. Nothing at all. Which is pretty much impossible by how this game has been designed.
Is just coincidence that maybe both he and I have corrupted saves somehow despite us starting it at different times? Can someone else here verify, please? I even think I came upon a small Kelp wreck and couldn't see anything there either.

Yeah, that's a recent thing. Places you haven't been too won't activate the fragment spawn points of things you've already acquired by the time you get there. Ergo, if it's titanium you want, it's worthwhile not to scan anything until you've been everywhere so you activate a maximum number of fragment spawn points.
Certainly something I think the devs need to look into rebalancing. It's ridiculous to have early wrecks all full and later wrecks all empty.
On a related note, I have previously seen Cyclops fragments change which "piece" they are of the broken item when leaving an area and returning. For instance, an engine fragment might change from a cylinder to a propeller. I wonder if this piece re-assignment sometimes clips an item through the floor, making it drop.
Where is this "storage area" of the Aurora? I've only been able to go in the big open end of the surprise and not "in it" per say. So I found a few containers with first aid kits on the big open platform under sky (part of the wreck) but no blueprints.
Gotta find a way in. There's a way to get onto the wreck by foot, follow it around and there is a piece of scrap that acts as a ramp, follow it and its a straight shot into the heart of the Aurora from there.
I'm horrible at giving directions, but hope that was sorta helpful...
There's a lot in there, yesterday I managed to get in for the first time since the update to the prawn bay and man is there a lot of stuff in there.
Went to the wreck in the mushroom forest and found a single propulsion gun fragment. It was all I needed, but there was nothing else there and no other propulsion gun fragments. I shutter to think how close I came to not being able to get a propulsion gun fragment in this save file.
They need to adjust the spawn rates.
