    Data Boxes will only open up if you have not already got the recipe they contain. We're working on improving the visual indicators for this.

    I'm having the same issue, and that includes boxes with recipes I do not have. It shows me the name of the recipe (example HUD Compass) that I do not have the blueprint for, but it won't let me open and access the blueprint.

    I had the exact same thing happening. I did not have those blueprints yet either.

    Since my save was from before the "infected" update, I already had the blueprints, but was still able to open the only data box I've seen. I haven't sought out any more.

    exact the same. i started the save after the infected update. so there i no chance to have the hud compass already. i dont have all the blueprints from the databoxes. as i have now a modification station in this save i cant do the most of the modifications due the lack of blueprints

    Same.. Cant open any of them and do not have any of their contents. so now cant gain the better air tanks, or any of the other cool upgrades.

    I started a new game under [45675] and cannot open any data boxes. I'm just writing down what I find so that when I get the mod station, I will "cheat" in what I legitimately found.

    I'm having the exact same problem as well. Fresh installation of Subnautica and using experimental and went to lifepod's 3 + 4 and can't click on either of the 2 data boxes.

    The issue with being unable to open data crates ( the boxes with upgraded equipment inside other survival pods) still exists. The patch has not fixed it :(

    There is NO PATCH. If you are playing experimental, you will see a new version every day and sometime *MULTIPLE* new versions every day as they add new content. The experimental branch is all about new content rather than bug fixes. The developers typically won't go back and fix issues like this until right before the periodic stable releases--every month or so.

    I would not expect to see this issue resolved until just before the next stable release--maybe at the end of March or early April. If you want to play experimental, you will likely need to use cheat commands to get the stuff you would normally get from the data boxes. Or, revert to the latest stable (non-experimental) and play that one.
