Hunt for buried technology they said... it'll be fun they said...
How to find salvaged data in No Man's Sky!
Salvaged Data is used to buy blueprints for base building components, and can be found on most if not all planets.
The process is fairly straight forward - Pull up the Visor, look for the Buried Techology Icon, and dig it up with the terrain manipulator. It can be a bit of a boring task if you need tons of it right away, but I usually just dig a few up here and there when I'm on a planet. It does appear that some planets have more than others. If you find a good one, be sure to plop a base down so you can return.
Each Buried Technology cache will yield 1 to 4 Salvaged Data. It is said that they may yield 5, but I've either never seen it, or just wasn't paying attention.
Whatever you do, don't die like I did! #NMS #NoMansSky
