The radar marker has no crate

First actionKeep the radar marker centered while you approach the area.

Check nextYour search narrows from the marker to a slow ground-level scan instead of another fast pass.

At the marker but still cannot see the shipment? Players report that the crate is small and flashes on the ground, so it is easy to fly past from the ship.

Quick answer

Try this first

Keep the marker centered as you approach, reduce the radar range when you get close, then make a safe nearby landing and inspect the ground on foot if the flashing crate is still not visible.

1
Keep the radar marker centered while you approach the area.
2
Reduce the radar range as you get closer.
3
Slow down and scan the ground for a small flashing crate.
4
If it is still not visible from the ship, land safely nearby and use the jetpack or on-foot view to inspect the ground.

The marker gets you close, then the search gets specific

What is happening

The marker gets you close, not onto the crate

Two community threads describe the same trap: the marker narrows the area, but the crate remains a small flashing ground object. The newer thread adds a practical recovery step when a hover pass fails: land nearby and inspect the ground on foot.

Troubleshooting

If that does not solve it

Make another slow pass while changing only the radar range.
Search the ground around the marker instead of waiting for a large mission object; if the pass fails, land safely nearby and inspect on foot.
If the crate still does not appear, the current wiring and pickup flow need a fresh in-game check; this site does not have a confirmed second fix yet.

Before you switch paths

Carry three signals forward.

A changed guide is easier to test when it starts from the exact point where this one stopped.

01
Current game version and active mission
Old values can describe a different build or objective.
02
The part, input, or control path that failed
Use the current in-game name and note the ports or axis involved.
03
What happened after the first action
Record one observed result before changing several things at once.

These notes describe your own run; they do not turn a community report into current-game proof.

Confidence

What is confirmed

This is community guidance. The site has not yet captured a current-build radar, landing, or on-foot crate view, or completed the pickup itself.

Players report reaching the radar marker but seeing no package.
Replies in two public threads independently mention closer radar zoom and a flashing ground beacon.
One newer player reply adds a safe nearby landing and jetpack/on-foot check when hovering does not reveal the crate.
Historical update notes show radar behavior has changed before.
