I play with friend in different forces and I mined the vault ruin first. Now I can't find another anywhere near. Would be strange to block him from most of the content because of it.

you won't find any other "near", but there should be some others on the map, in the small islands with rich patch usually

Yes. There are.

I got the starting one close to my drop location. Then while exploring the area to find a decent island to build on I found 2 additional ones on two small islands right next to each, with as mmmPI wrote... ridiculous scrap density. ^^

But that said, it will likely also depend on what you set up for resource settings during map creation, maybe?

Thank you, I had skipped searching the small islands to only search the large ones.. spent ages searching until I looked it up and found this post ^^
